Clinical, Psychosocial, and Demographic Factors Are Associated With Overweight and Obesity in Early Adolescent Girls With Type 1 Diabetes
Conclusions
Overweight/obesity is prevalent among adolescents with T1D. Clinical, psychosocial, and demographic factors are associated with overweight/obesity in girls but not boys. Greater attention to weight status and aspects of health that are germane to adolescents with T1D is warranted. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

Evaluating Substance Use and Insulin Misuse in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes
Conclusions
The diabetes care team should be aware that substance use and insulin misuse are common in adolescents with T1D. Screening for these risky behaviors is critical in those who are older or have mental health disorders. Effective education, prevention, and treatment strategies targeted at these behaviors are needed to improve the overall health of this population. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

Evaluating Diabetes Educational Interventions With a Skill Development Component in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: A Systematic Review Focusing on Quality of Life
Conclusion
This review provides evidence that educational interventions with an indirect behavioral skills development that facilitates diabetes management may improve QOL among adolescents with T1DM. Structured interventions targeting adolescents’ QOL are needed to determine which are most effective in improving QOL. Adolescents with T1DM should be routinely screened and monitored for low QOL and referred to QOL-improving interventions. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

Feasibility of Parent-to-Parent Support in Recently Diagnosed Childhood Diabetes: The PLUS Study
Conclusions
Parent-to-parent support in the context of newly diagnosed childhood diabetes in the United Kingdom is feasible to deliver, with good engagement of mentors and clinic staff. The program was acceptable to parents who chose to participate, although uptake by parents whose child had been recently diagnosed was lower than expected. The results merit further investigation, including exploration of parent preference in relation to peer support. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

A Cross-sectional Study of Depressive Symptoms and Diabetes Self-care in African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos With Diabetes: The Role of Self-efficacy
Conclusions
Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between depression and foot care in the African American group but was not found to be a mediator of any self-care areas within the Hispanic/Latino group. In clinical practice, alleviation of depressive symptoms may improve self-care behavior adherence. Diabetes education may consider inclusion of components to build self-efficacy related to diabetes self-care, especially among African American patients. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

Talk versus Action: Comparing the Narratives and Behaviors of Diabetes Self-Management in Latino Caregiving Dyads
Conclusion
Findings suggest that caregivers or other key family members should be considered as active participants in diabetes management among Latinos, which is consistent with American Diabetes Association and Institute of Medicine recommendations for a patient- and family-centered approach to improve care. In addition, family environments that are in flux, chaotic, or low in resources may benefit from increased support to initiate and maintain diabetes management behaviors.

Setting Single or Multiple Goals for Diet and Physical Activity Behaviors Improves Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Pragmatic Pilot Randomized Trial
Conclusion
A multiple-goal approach over 4 months can improve dietary and physical activity outcomes, while a single-goal approach may facilitate improvement in one behavioral domain. Additional research is needed to evaluate maintenance of the achieved changes. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)

Life With Type 1 Diabetes: Views of Hispanic Adolescents and Their Clinicians
Conclusions
Hispanic adolescents with T1DM have unique experiences and beliefs that affect their living with T1DM, but in many respects, their experiences are similar to those of their non-Hispanic peers with T1DM. Hispanic adolescents with T1DM want their clinicians to learn about their personal lives. Preferably, clinicians and parents should speak the same language. If not possible, interpreters should be used instead of having adolescents translate during clinic appointments. (Source: The Diabetes Educator)
