RESUMO

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of stand-alone intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) with or without a structured education programme and blood glucose monitoring (BGM) in adults with type 2 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). METHODS: In this 24 week randomised open-label multicentre trial, adults with type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy with HbA1c levels of 58-108 mmol/mol (7.5-12.0%) were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to isCGM with a structured education programme on adjusting insulin dose and timing according to graphical patterns in CGM (intervention group), isCGM with conventional education (control group 1) or BGM with conventional education (control group 2). Block randomisation was conducted by an independent statistician. Due to the nature of the intervention, blinding of participants and investigators was not possible. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline at 24 weeks, assessed using ANCOVA with the baseline value as a covariate. RESULTS: A total of 159 individuals were randomised (n=53 for each group); 148 were included in the full analysis set, with 52 in the intervention group, 49 in control group 1 and 47 in control group 2. The mean (± SD) HbA1c level at baseline was 68.19±10.94 mmol/mol (8.39±1.00%). The least squares mean change (± SEM) from baseline HbA1c at 24 weeks was -10.96±1.35 mmol/mol (-1.00±0.12%) in the intervention group, -6.87±1.39 mmol/mol (-0.63±0.13%) in control group 1 (p=0.0367 vs intervention group) and -6.32±1.42 mmol/mol (-0.58±0.13%) in control group 2 (p=0.0193 vs intervention group). Adverse events occurred in 28.85% (15/52) of individuals in the intervention group, 26.42% (14/53) in control group 1 and 48.08% (25/52) in control group 2. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Stand-alone isCGM offers a greater reduction in HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes on MDI when education on the interpretation of graphical patterns in CGM is provided. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04926623. FUNDING: This study was supported by Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Many municipal districts in Korea face population decline owing to overall population decreases and aging. We investigated the association between geographic rurality and likelihood of receiving diabetes management education and diabetic retinopathy and diabetes-related kidney disease screenings among adults with diabetes. METHODS: Patient data were obtained from the 2021 Korea Community Health Survey (27,391 individuals; aged ≥19 years and physician-diagnosed with diabetes mellitus). Geographic rurality was categorized based on population decline as follows: with, at risk of, or without population decline. The association between geographic rurality and likelihood of receiving diabetes management education and diabetic retinopathy and diabetes-related kidney disease screenings was examined using multilevel logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: Among 27,391 patients with diabetes, 31.1% received diabetes education; 40.0% and 46.4% were screened for diabetic retinopathy and diabetes-related kidney disease, respectively. Individuals residing in regions with population decline were less likely to receive diabetes education (odds ratio [OR] 0.62, 95% CI 0.50-0.75) and diabetic retinopathy (OR 0.79, 95% CI 0.70-0.90) and diabetes-related kidney disease (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.55-0.75) screenings, as compared with their counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the importance of increased monitoring and providing diabetes education and screenings for patients with diabetes living in rural areas.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Many patients with T2DM on insulin are not optimally controlled despite receiving standard diabetes education counselling. Poor insulin adherence may be a contributing factor. We developed and evaluated a new module [Universiti Sains Malaysia-Insulin Adherence Module (USM-IAM)] on insulin-treated patients with poorly controlled diabetes. METHODS: Eligibility criteria are those diagnosed with T2DM, aged between 18 and 65 years, with HbA1c between 8 and 15% and on insulin therapy for 1 year. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either the USM-IAM-based counselling or the standard counselling (SC) at baseline and the second visit. Patients were instructed to adjust insulin doses based on blood glucose levels. Outcomes were changes in adherence score, FBS and HbA1c levels from baseline to 3 months and baseline to sixth month. RESULTS: Ninety patients were randomised to each group. The baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were homogenous among groups. Ninety patients were analysed for each group. Adherence score changes between baseline to 3 months were - 8.30 (- 11.47, - 5.14) in USM-IAM-based counselling group (USM-IAM) and - 7.64 (- 10.89, - 4.40) in standard counselling group (SCG), between baseline to sixth month were - 10.21 (- 13.40, - 7.03) in USM-IAM and - 10.79 (- 14.64, - 6.97) in SCG. FBS changes between baseline to 3 months were 1.374 (0.25, 2.50) in USM-IAM and 0.438 (- 0.66, 1.54) in SCG, and between baseline to sixth month were 1.713 (0.473, 2.95) in USM-IAM and 0.998 (- 0.02, 2.01) in SCG. HbA1c changes between baseline to 3 months were 1.374 (0.25, 2.50) in USM-IAM and 0.547 (0.12, 0.98) in SCG, and between baseline to sixth month were 1.03 (0.65, 1.41) in USM-IAM and 0.617 (0.20, 1.03) in SCG. Between-subjects effects for all outcomes were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Both groups had significant improvements in adherence score and HbA1c with time, with higher improvement in patients receiving the USM-IAM. FBS reductions were significant in the intervention group but not in the control group. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study protocol is registered with Clicaltrials.gov with ID NCT05125185 dated 17th November 2021.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Early detection and prevention of type 2 diabetes and its complications are global health priorities. Optimal outcomes depend on individual awareness and proactive self-management of health risks. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a community-based diabetes detection and intervention program in a high-risk area in western Sydney, Australia. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We collaborated with the Workers Lifestyle Group, Tamil Association Arts and Culture Association, and the National Aboriginal and Islanders Day Observance Committee to implement our program. Participants underwent HbA1C testing via point-of-care blood spot testing. They received personalized feedback, education on diabetes management, and were offered opportunities to enrol in lifestyle modification programs. Participants identified with pre-diabetes (HbA1C 5.7-6.4%) or diabetes (HbA1C > 6.4%) were advised to consult their General Practitioners (GPs). A follow-up questionnaire was distributed 3-8 months post-intervention to evaluate the programs usefulness and relevance and lifestyle changes implemented by the participants. RESULTS: Over eight months, 510 individuals participated. Of these, 19% had an HbA1C > 6.4%, and 38% had levels between 5.7 and 6.4%. Among those with diabetes, HbA1C levels ranged as follows: 56% <7%; 20% 7-7.9%; 18% 8-8.9%; and 5% >9%. Post intervention survey indicated that the program was well-received, with 62.5% of responses reporting lifestyle changes and 36.3% seeking further advice from their local healthcare providers. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrates a significant prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes in the community, similar to findings from larger-scale hospital and general practice studies. Point-of-care testing combined with personalized education effectively motivated participants toward healthier lifestyle choices and medical consultations. The paper discusses the scalability of this approach for broader population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Although diabetes is one of the leading causes of death among Korean Americans, the levels and predictors of diabetes knowledge in this group have not been sufficiently reported. This study aimed to (1) describe the level of diabetes knowledge of Korean immigrant women in the U.S. and (2) examine whether there is an interaction effect between social support and education on diabetes knowledge. DESIGN: This study conducted a cross-sectional survey design. The sample included 227 Korean immigrant women living in the southeast region of the U.S. The fourteen items of the Diabetes Knowledge Test were used to assess the diabetes knowledge level of Korean American women. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the interaction effect between social support and education on diabetes knowledge. RESULTS: Only 6% of the participants presented a good diabetes knowledge level, 12.5% had a poor level, and the majority (81.5%) had a moderate level. We found a significant interaction effect between social support and education on diabetes knowledge. The highest diabetes knowledge was observed when individuals with a lower education level had higher social support. CONCLUSION: Future health practices and policies may focus on increasing knowledge among Korean American women with lower education levels and lower social support. Implementing peer-led initiatives can enhance diabetes knowledge and encourage better self-care practices within the community.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of self-management education integrated with text-message support (SME-TMS) on glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. STUDY DESIGN: a randomized, controlled trial. METHODS: Patients from two communities were randomized into the intervention group (n = 53) or the control group (n = 52). The six-month intervention included the culturally tailored diabetes education and text-messaging support for behaviour changes. The control group received treatment as usual. The primary outcome was reductions in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose at six-month non-intervention follow-up. Secondary outcomes were reductions in body weight, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, physical activity, and health beliefs. RESULTS: The intervention led to substantially increase days of weekly physical activity (42% vs. 0%, P < 0.001) and health beliefs (coefficient = 7.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.4 to 9.6, P < 0.001). However, no greater reduction was found in HbA1c at six months after the intervention, compared with the control group (0.13%, 95% CI: -0.20 to 0.46, P = 0.443). The reductions of blood pressure, TC, and LDL-C were greater in the control group than in the intervention group (all P < 0.050). Within the intervention group, participants had significant reduction in BMI, whereas the control group had greater reductions in TC and LDL-C (all P < 0.050). CONCLUSIONS: The SME-TMS intervention led to a greater increase in the weekly physical activity and health belief score in the older patients at 6-month follow-up than with the usual care. Further research is needed to ascertain how these benefits could be translated into favorable medium-and long-term glycaemic control. TRAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This study was registered on Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2300075112).

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is up to 50% among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, diabetes education during and after pregnancy is limited. To bridge this gap, our team developed four training modules on GDM for nurses and community health workers. This pilot study assesses changes in knowledge, self-efficacy for providing diabetes education, attitudes, and intentions to recommend diabetes prevention before and after training completion. METHODS: Interactive online modules were disseminated to clinical staff providing care for women with GDM in the United States. Optional pre- and post-training surveys were conducted to gauge the effectiveness of the modules. GDM knowledge (scoring 0-100) was evaluated with a 23 question assessment with total score and individual module scores reported [(# correct/# total)*100]. Self-efficacy for providing diabetes education (scoring 1-10) was evaluated with a 15-question survey and intention to recommend diabetes prevention (scoring 1-5) was assessed with an 8-item survey. Attitudes were assessed with three subscales of the Diabetes Attitude Scale (scoring 1-5). Changes in scores on each scale before and after training are reported using non-parametric Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank tests. RESULTS: Eighty-two individuals completed baseline evaluation and 20 individuals accessed all modules and completed post-training assessments. Among those completing the training, improvement was noted in GDM knowledge [56.5 (16.0) v. 78.3 (22.0), p < 0.001], self-efficacy for providing diabetes education [6.60 (2.73) v. 9.33 (0.87), p < 0.001], attitudes toward the value of tight control [4.07 (0.79) v. 4.43 (0.86), p = 0.003], and intentions to recommend diabetes prevention measures [4.81 (0.63) v. 5.00 (0.00), p = 0.009)]. CONCLUSIONS: Completion of our interactive online modules improved knowledge, intention to recommend diabetes prevention, self-efficacy to provide diabetes education, and attitudes toward the value of tight control among individuals caring for women with GDM. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov, identifier: NCT04474795.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Diabetes self-management education (DSME) improves glycemic and metabolic control. However, the frequency, duration and sustainability of DSME for improving metabolic control have not been well studied. METHODS: The Diabetes Share Care Program (DSCP) stage 1 provided DSME every 3 months. If participants entering DSCP stage 1 ≥ 2 years and HbA1c < 7%, they can be transferred to stage 2 (DSME frequency: once a year). Three-to-one matching between DSCP stage 1 and stage 2 groups based on the propensity score method to match the two groups in terms of HbA1c and diabetes duration. We identified 311 people living with type 2 diabetes in DSCP stage 1 and 86 in stage 2 and evaluated their metabolic control and healthy behaviors annually for 5 years. RESULTS: In the first year, HbA1c in the DSCP stage 2 group was significantly lower than that in the stage 1 group. In the first and the fifth years, the percentage of patients achieving HbA1c < 7% was significantly higher in the DSCP stage 2 group than the stage 1 group. There was no significant difference in other metabolic parameters between the two groups during the 5-year follow-up. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) frequency was associated with a reduced HbA1c after 5 years (95% CI: -0.0665 to -0.0004). CONCLUSION: We demonstrated sustainable effects of at least 2-year DSME on achieving better glycemic control for at least 1 year. SMBG contributed to improved glycemic control. The results may be applied to the reimbursement strategy in diabetes education.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a study to improve diabetes knowledge through a web-based diabetes course in the general adult population. We hypothesised that participation in a web-based diabetes course would have a positive impact on diabetes knowledge retention. METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. Participants in the experimental group attended an interactive web-based diabetes course. The Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ24) was used to assess the diabetes knowledge levels. The DKQ24 was completed at the beginning and end of the observation period of 3 months. The experimental group also completed it immediately after the intervention. RESULTS: At the end of the observation period, a statistically significant difference in the mean rank of DKQ24 scores was found in favor of the experimental group (p < .001). The results of the experimental group had a lower interquartile range (IQR = 3) than those of the control group (IQR = 5). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that providing a web-based diabetes course to the general population is effective and can improve diabetes knowledge and retention.

RESUMO

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by prolonged elevated blood glucose levels. Diabetes self-management education and support programs are widely used in western countries. The impact of social media education and support interventions such as a WhatsApp-based program and the nurses' role in supporting and implementing this self-management program unclear. Using a WhatsApp-based program, we evaluated the effects of a 6-week program in improving self-efficacy and education among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Saudi Arabia. Eligible participants (n = 80) were recruited with the support of nurses into a randomized controlled trial and randomly assigned into self-management intervention and control groups. The intervention group (n = 40) received the self-management program support and the usual care. The control group (n = 40) received only the usual care with nurses' support. Results from generalized estimating equation analysis showed a significant increase in self-efficacy, self-management, and education in the WhatsApp-based intervention support group compared with the control group at 6 and 12 weeks (follow-up). Implementing the program via social media improves self-efficacy. The use of social media platforms should be promoted for global diabetes management.

RESUMO

AIMS: Insulin pump self-management is important for glycaemic outcomes. We aimed to investigate associations between self-management factors and HbA1c. METHODS: Adult insulin pump users with type 1 diabetes (n = 770) completed an online questionnaire. The latest HbA1c and demographics were extracted from national registries. Associations between HbA1c and self-management (use of advanced features, timing of infusion set change, timing of meal bolus, data-upload and pump settings adjustments) were investigated using backward selected linear regression models. RESULTS: Of the 699 responders eligible for this study, 60% were women; the median age and diabetes duration were 49 and 25 years, respectively. Significant associations with HbA1c were found for changing infusion set every 0-4 days relative to 5-10 days (-5 mmol/mol (-0.4%), p = 0.003), and for never/rarely missing a bolus (-6 mmol/mol (-0.5%), p < 0.001) relative to often missing a bolus. Timing insulin 10-15 min before meal relative to after meal start was also associated with lower HbA1c (-3 mmol/mol (-0.3%), p = 0.023). Self-adjusting pump settings showed the strongest association with lower HbA1c (-6 mmol/mol (-0.6%), p < 0.001) relative to health care professionals doing all adjustments. CONCLUSION: Self-adjusting insulin pump settings, optimal timing and few omissions of meal boluses, and timely change of infusion set are associated with lower HbA1c.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To review the current status of practical knowledge related to insulin-associated lipohypertrophy (LH) - an accumulation of fatty subcutaneous nodules commonly caused by repeated injections and/or infusions of insulin into the same site. METHODS: Review of published literature with additional contributions from leading multidisciplinary experts with the emphasis on clinical aspects including pathophysiology, clinical and economic consequences, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. RESULTS: LH is the most common dermatologic complication of insulin therapy. Risk factors for the development of lipohypertrophy include repeated delivery of large amounts of insulin into the same location over time, repeated injection trauma to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and multiple injections using the same needle. Subcutaneous insulin injection in skin areas with lipohypertrophy is associated with reduced pain; however, this problem can interfere with insulin absorption, thereby increasing the likelihood of glucose variability, hypo- and hyperglycemia when a site is changed. Modern visualization technology of the subcutaneous space with ultrasound can demonstrate lipohypertrophy early in the course of its development. CONCLUSIONS: The physiological and psychological consequences of developing insulin lipohypertrophy can be prevented and treated with education focusing on insulin injection techniques.

RESUMO

Diabetes affects nearly 37 million Americans, with disproportionately higher disease burden amongst those from minoritized communities. The result of this is greater rates of diabetic complications and mortality. To close this gap in care, it is important to assess the differences in both diagnosis and care between White and ethnic/racial minoritized persons with diabetes. The purpose of this narrative review is to explore this further by assessing the differences in diagnosis, management, diabetes education, and complications.

RESUMO

Hmong-Americans experience higher rates of diabetes and poorer diabetes-related health outcomes than their White peers. Traditional methods of diabetes education do not reach Hmong patients effectively due to known socioeconomic and literacy barriers. The purpose of this study is to examine the acceptability of a culturally informed diabetes self-management education video tool, using digital storytelling that was created using a community-engaged approach, administered in a single academic clinic that sees a large percentage of Hmong patients. The video tool was successful in the areas of acceptability, story transformation, and story identification; 96% of participants stated that the video felt like something from their community, 88% stated that they could identify with the story, 79% stated that they wanted to know what happened next, and 70% of participants reported that they were motivated to do something different after watching. New methods to improve diabetes education and improve health outcomes in Hmong communities are needed. Culturally informed digital storytelling is one tool, which may be used to improve diabetes health outcomes in this population.

RESUMO

Psychological insulin resistance is a well known entity. This communication proposes the term 'insulin hesitancy' to describe the hesitation that a person living with diabetes experiences, when advised to take insulin. It approaches hesitancy through a triage model, based upon the language used by the patient. By identifying the predominant adverb, "will not", "shall not", or "cannot" in the patient's speech, the diabetes care professional can assess the degree of insulin hesitancy, and tailor his or her conversation towards overcoming it.

RESUMO

This study explored relationships between school nurses' diabetes-related attitudes, self-efficacy in diabetes management and education, and care practices. One-hundred fourteen school nurses who have taken care of students with type 1 diabetes in public schools comprised this descriptive study sample. Participants completed online surveys. School nurses' diabetes-related attitudes were not related to their self-efficacy in diabetes education, but nurses' attitudes towards the psychosocial impact of diabetes were significantly related to their self-efficacy in diabetes management, and the number of students with diabetes was a significant contributor to this relationship. Nurses' full-time status and the type of school they worked in were significantly related to their self-efficacy in providing diabetes education. School nurses' positive attitudes about providing care for students with diabetes were related to having a higher level of self-efficacy in providing diabetes management. Based on the findings, recommendations are made for health consolidated schools and full-time school nurses.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to better understand the burden(s) associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on school-aged youth and families and subsequently identify strategies school nurses can adopt to reduce the impact of this disease. Family interviews (n = 5 families, comprised of 15 individual participants) were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide to further explore family members' experiences with T1DM. Directed content analysis was employed for theme identification. Themes reflect individual and family struggles, the importance of teamwork within families, navigating barriers, and facing uncertainty. Select themes provided the impetus for the development of a school-based program directed toward youth and families with T1DM. Plans include developing educational content plus therapeutic conversations with a focus on communication, care coordination, cognition, problem-solving, and strength-building. An emphasis will be placed on participant-directed program content with peer support for youth with T1DM and family members.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To identify the association between glycemia control with level of diabetes knowledge, diabetes education, and lifestyle variables in patients with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analytical study. SITE: Clinics of the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS), Mexico. PARTICIPANTS: Patients with type 2 diabetes. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose, and lipid profile levels were measured from fasting venous blood samples. Assessment of disease knowledge was performed using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured. Weight and abdominal circumference were measured, as well as body composition using bioimpedance. Sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle variables were obtained. RESULTS: A total of 297 patients were included, sixty-seven percent (67%) were women with a median of six years since the diagnosis of diabetes. Only 7% of patients had adequate diabetes knowledge, and 56% had regular knowledge. Patients with adequate diabetes knowledge had a lower body mass index (p=0.016), lower percentage of fat (p=0.008), and lower fat mass (p=0.018); followed a diet (p=0.004) and had received diabetes education (p=0.002), and to obtain information about their illness (p=0.001). Patients with low levels of diabetes knowledge had a higher risk of HbA1c≥7% (OR: 4.68; 95% CI: 1.48,14.86; p=0.009), as well as those who did not receive diabetes education (OR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.21-3.90; p=0.009) and those who did not follow a diet (OR: 2.37; 95% CI: 1.01,5.55; p=0.046). CONCLUSION: Inadequate knowledge of diabetes, lack of diabetes education, and dietary adherence are associated with poor glycemia control in patients with diabetes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Glycemic management of hospitalized patients remains a growing burden in organizations across the country. Attainment of well-established glycemic targets has shown improved clinical outcomes. Empowered glucose management interdisciplinary teams are critical in organizations attaining improved outcomes. Pharmacists possess diverse knowledge and skills that uniquely position them to take a leadership role in healthcare organizations' efforts to achieve safe and effective glycemic outcomes in hospitalized patients. RECENT FINDINGS: Various models of pharmacy care have demonstrated success in improving patient outcomes related to acute care glycemic management. The authors of this manuscript will summarize published data related to improved outcomes when pharmacists are utilized in a patient-directed intervention model. In addition, we will describe the implementation of pharmacy stewardship, delineating the role of the pharmacist in providing oversight and shaping institutions to promote optimal glycemic management on a macrolevel. Pharmacists have demonstrated the ability to aid institutions looking to improve acute glycemic management while serving effectively in various models of care across their respective organization.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The following report describes the evaluation of the ISPAD Science School for Physicians (ISSP) and for Healthcare Professionals (ISSHP) in terms of their efficiency and success. METHODS: All past attendees from 2000-2019 ISSP and 2004-2019 ISSHP programs were invited to respond to an online survey to assess perceived outcomes of the programs on career development, scientific enhancement, scientific networking, and social opportunities. RESULTS: One-third of the past ISSP (129/428), and approximately 43% of the past ISSHP attendees (105/245) responded to the surveys. Most of ISSP attendees reported that the programs supported their career (82%) by helping to achieve a research position (59%), being engaged with diabetes care (68%) or research (63%) or starting a research fellowship (59%). Responders indicated that ISSP was effective in increasing interest in diabetes research (87%) and enhancing the number (66%) and quality (83%) of scientific productions, and promotion of international collaborations (86%). After the ISSP, 34% of responders received research grants. From the first round of the ISSHP survey (2004-2013), responders reported have improved knowledge (60%), gained more confidence in research (69%), undertaken a research project (63%), and achieved a higher academic degree (27%). From the second round (2014-2019), participants indicated that the program was valuable/useful in workplace (94%) through understanding (89%) and conducting (68%) research and establishing communication from other participants (64%) or from faculty (42%). After the ISSHP, 17% had received awards. CONCLUSIONS: From the participants' viewpoint, both programs were effective in improving engagement with diabetes research, supporting career opportunities, increasing scientific skills, and enhancing networking and research activities.
