METS-IR was correlated with incident diabetes significantly, and showed a nonlinear relationship. This study also found that METS-IR had good discrimination of diabetes.
The prevalence of DPN at KIU-TH was higher among DM patients and its stage might have a negative impact on the progression of Diabetes Mellitus. Therefore, clinicians should consider neurological examination as a routine during assessment of all DM patients especially in rural areas where resources and facilities are often limited so that complications related to Diabetic mellitus will be prevented.
The DSAS-2 Spa-US is a version of the DSAS-2, translated into Spanish, that has good psychometric properties for assessing diabetes stigma in U.S. Latino adults with T2D.
Among adults with type 2 diabetes, evidence exists of a relationship between weight management and personality, specifically, negative emotionality and conscientiousness. Consideration of personality may be important for optimising weight management and further research is warranted.
Clinical assessment of readmission risk in the Deep South should consider patients’ demographics, characteristics of hospitalizations, labs, vitals, co-existing chronic conditions, preadmission antihyperglycemic medication use, and social need (i.e., former alcohol use). Factors associated with readmission risk can help pharmacists and other healthcare providers identify high-risk patient groups for all-cause 30-day readmissions during transitions of care. Further research is needed about the influence of social needs on readmissions among populations with diabetes to understand the potential clinical utility of incorporating social needs into clinical services.
