Practice Tips and Tools for the Successful Use of U-500 Regular Human Insulin: The Diabetes Educator Is Key
This review provides information to equip diabetes educators to instruct and guide patients in using U-500 human regular insulin (U-500R). The article includes an overview of U-500R pharmacology and clinical data, strategies for outpatient and inpatient use, and tools for patient education. U-500R is useful for treating patients with any type of diabetes who require high doses of insulin. U-500R alleviates the volume-related problems associated with high doses of U-100 insulin, making treatment with high doses of insulin more feasible (because of the need for fewer injections for patients) as well as more cost-efficient an...

Diabetes Peer Coaching: Do "Better Patients" Make Better Coaches?
Conclusions
Coach characteristics are associated with patient success in improving A1C. "Better" levels of coach diabetes self-efficacy and distress were not helpful and, in fact, were associated with less improvement in patient A1C, suggesting that some coach uncertainty about his or her own diabetes might foster improved patient self-management. These coach characteristics should be considered when recruiting peer coaches. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

Impact of a Focused Nutrition Educational Intervention Coupled With Improved Access to Fresh Produce on Purchasing Behavior and Consumption of Fruits and Vegetables in Overweight Patients With Diabetes Mellitus
Conclusion
Focused education combined with a small economic incentive resulted in an increase in purchasing behavior and fresh fruit intake per day. A more intense behavioral intervention combined with increased access may result in a significant impact on obesity and diabetes, particularly among low-income and racially diverse communities.

Digital Photography as an Educational Food Logging Tool in Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Lessons Learned From a Randomized, Crossover Pilot Trial
Conclusion
Although the DC method was comparable to PD in adherence, blood glucose changes, and patient satisfaction in this pilot trial, patient feedback suggested specific areas of refinement to maximize utility of DC-based food logging as an educational tool in T2DM. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)
