The influence of diabetes distress on digital interventions for diabetes management in vulnerable people with type 2 diabetes: A qualitative study of patient perspectives
Conclusion Vulnerable people with T2DM are unprepared for digital interventions for disease management. Experiencing diabetes distress may be an intermediate mechanism leading to nonadherence to digital interventions and the preference for human interaction in vulnerable people with T2DM. Future interventions could include a designated caregiver and an allocated buddy to provide support and assist uptake of digital interventions for diabetes management.

Outpatient management of steroid-induced hyperglycaemia and steroid-induced diabetes in people with lymphoproliferative disorders treated with intermittent high dose steroids
Publication date: Available online 24 June 2017 Source:Journal of Clinical & Translational Endocrinology Author(s): Jennifer Vidler, Charlotte Rogers, Deborah Yallop, Stephen Devereux, Ellinor Wellving, Orla Stewart, Alison Cox, Katharine F. Hunt, Shireen Kassam High dose steroids (HDS) are used in the treatment of haematological malignancies. The reported risk of steroid-induced diabetes (SID) is high. However, screening is not consistently performed. We implemented a protocol for detection and management of SID and steroid-induced hyperglycamia (SIH) in haematology outpatients receiving HDS.

The association between vitamin D level and diabetic peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an update systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion This meta -analysis indicates that vitamin D deficiency is associated with the generation and development of DPN in Caucasian with T2DM, and in Asian, diabetic patients with vitamin D deficiency are 1.22 times to suffer from DPN compared with normal vitamin D level. Vitamin D supplementation is urgently needed to prevent the development of DPN in T2DM. (Source: Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology)

Active Cocaine Use Does Not Increase the Likelihood of Hyperglycemic Crisis
Conclusions We found no association between active cocaine use at the time of hospital admission and development of hyperglycemic crisis, when compared to non-emergent hyperglycemia. The role of routine screening for cocaine use in patients with hyperglycemic crisis is unclear. (Source: Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology)
