Book excerpt: According to the World Health Organization, at least 180 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. Though prevalent throughout the world, diabetes is more common (especially type 2) in more developed countries like the United States. The National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse estimates that diabetes costs $132 billion in the United States alone every year. Given these estimates along with the projection that the worldwide incidence of diabetes will double in the next 20 years, 1 intensified research into better management of this chronic disease is paramount. Tighter control of blood glucose is advocated as a means to reduce microvascular and macrovascular complications. VA has performance measures assessing the proportion of patients meeting certain A1c goals, currently 7% and 9%. Theoretically, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) can improve compliance with recommendations on diet and exercise and medication regimens. The American Diabetes Association has recommended that the optimal frequency of SMBG for patients with type 2 diabetes should be adequate to facilitate reaching glucose goals. This hypothesis is based on the expectation that life style changes are facilitated by SMBG. Under these conditions, we should expect an improvement of glycemic control SMBG may decrease patient management costs, and because of the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes, efforts to establish the efficacy of SMBG in type 2 diabetes mellitus are of greater relevance. Methods to achieve improved glycemic control, and therefore a higher proportion of patients meeting target A1c levels, include diet, exercise, and medication. However, evidence supporting the use of SMBG for diabetics not requiring insulin is not as clear. The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature to answer four key questions given to us by VA: 1) Is regular self-monitoring of blood glucose effective in achieving target A1c levels for patients with type 2 diabetes?; 2) Is regular self-monitoring of blood glucose effective in maintaining target A1c levels for patients with type 2 diabetes?; 3) Does regular self-monitoring of blood glucose reduce the frequency of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes?; 4) Is there evidence that different frequencies of testing result in differences in improvements in A1c?

Book excerpt: BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a prevalent and costly disease in Veterans. Control of blood glucose is an important VA objective. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is advocated as a method to better achieve control. The Key Questions were: Key Question 1. Is regular SMBG effective in achieving target A1c levels for patients with type 2 diabetes? Key Question 2. Is regular SMBG effective in maintaining target A1c levels for patients with type 2 diabetes? Key Question 3. Does regular SMBG reduce the frequency of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes? Key Question 4. Is there evidence that different frequencies of testing result in differences in improvements in A1c? METHODS: We searched PubMed from 2004-2006 using standard search terms. We performed an update search in July 2007. Titles, abstracts, and articles were reviewed in duplicate by physicians trained in the critical analysis of literature. Data were extracted by quantitative analysts. Pooled analyses were performed for trials with A1c outcomes at six months and 12 months or greater of follow-up. All other data were narratively summarized. RESULTS: We screened 52 titles, 14 were rejected, and we performed a more detailed review on 38 articles. From this, we identified 14 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that measured the effect of SMBG compared to a group not receiving SMBG and monitored A1c levels with at least three months of follow-up. Four trials were excluded; one because it presented duplicate data and three because they evaluated SMBG in both the control and intervention groups, leaving 10 trials contributing to the efficacy analysis. We identified five observational studies assessing effectiveness in diabetic Veterans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of real-time continuous glucose monitors among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is growing rapidly and should continue to grow until an artificial pancreas is brought to market. Likewise, use of professional systems in healthcare practices is expanding. But, other than manufacturer instructional manuals and some book chapters on CGMs, there are no standalone publications available with concise, non-commercial instructions on CGM prescription and use. Additionally, continuous glucose monitors are too often not used to their full and proper potential. This leaves users with suboptimal glucose control and can result in system abandonment. To address this, diabetes educator and author Gary Scheiner has created Practical CGM: Improving Patient Outcomes through Continuous Glucose Monitoring to give healthcare providers the skill to make more effective use of the data generated by continuous glucose monitors, in both real-time and on a retrospective analytic basis. Using a plain-language approach and distilling content to concise, practical tips and techniques, Scheiner has created a guide that will help practitioners optimize patient use of CGM systems and, ultimately, improve glucose control and patient health outcomes.

Download or read book Exercise and Diabetes written by Sheri R. Colberg and published by American Diabetes Association. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical movement has a positive effect on physical fitness, morbidity, and mortality in individuals with diabetes. Although exercise has long been considered a cornerstone of diabetes management, many health care providers fail to prescribe it. In addition, many fitness professionals may be unaware of the complexities of including physical activity in the management of diabetes. Giving patients or clients a full exercise prescription that take other chronic conditions commonly accompanying diabetes into account may be too time-consuming for or beyond the expertise of many health care and fitness professionals. The purpose of this book is to cover the recommended types and quantities of physical activities that can and should be undertaken by all individuals with any type of diabetes, along with precautions related to medication use and diabetes-related health complications. Medications used to control diabetes should augment lifestyle improvements like increased daily physical activity rather than replace them. Up until now, professional books with exercise information and prescriptions were not timely or interactive enough to easily provide busy professionals with access to the latest recommendations for each unique patient. However, simply instructing patients to “exercise more” is frequently not motivating or informative enough to get them regularly or safely active. This book is changing all that with its up-to-date and easy-to-prescribe exercise and physical activity recommendations and relevant case studies. Read and learn to quickly prescribe effective and appropriate exercise to everyone.

Although there is not yet an agreement on the effect of SMBG for non-insulin-treating type 2 DM patients in comprehensive management, some guidelines recommended all diabetes patients should conduct SMBG. This literature review of 5 meta-analyses and 13 randomized controlled clinical trials assessed the effectiveness of SMBG in glucose control (HbA1c), detection of hypoglycemia, non-glycemic outcomes and potential influence factors(duration of diabetes, baseline HaB1c level, SMBG frequency, SMBG duration, co-interventions) of SMBG efficacy on type 2 diabetes patients not using insulin. The method of this literature review is through a comprehensive electronic literature search of Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and China Journals Full-text Database. Both English and Chinese language literatures were reviewed. All meta-analysis and randomized controlled trials of type 2 diabetes non-insulin-using patients taking SMBG to improve the glycemic control and other outcomes were included. In these studies, absolute HbA1c reduction, recognized episodes of hypoglycemia, wellbeing, QALY, DALY, complication morbidity, mortality were used as outcome measures if available. A score list based on the PRISMA Statement was used to evaluate the quality of meta-analyses. 5 meta-analysis all reported a statistical significant but clinical modest-moderate difference in HbA1c reduction between SMBG and non-SMBG group, a new published randomized controlled trial with small cohort enrolled in none of the meta- analyses did not support this conclusion. Evidence showed frequency of SMBG did not influence the efficacy of SMBG, co-interventions as education/consultation, regimen change played a positive roll on SMBG efficacy. Whether baseline HbA1c, duration of diabetes or SMBG itself have an effect on SMBG efficacy was still unknown. There is inadequate evidence of SMBG efficacy of detection of hypoglycemia of patient-oriented outcomes. No eligible Chinese article was defined to enroll in this review. This review did not support to suggest all type 2 diabetes patients not using insulin to conduct SMBG at the frequency the guidelines recommended. Carefully designed and longer-term trials are needed to obtain evidence that is more robust. Further investigation would provide more evidence of the characteristics of potential influence factors, which may help to define the specific population or optimal mode that guarantee the greatest efficacy of SMBG.

Young and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the nearly 75% of patients living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who do not use insulin, decisions regarding self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) can be especially problematic. While in theory SMBG holds great promise for sparking favorable behavior change, it is a resource-intensive activity without firmly established patient benefits.OBJECTIVES: The overarching goal was to assess the impact of 3 different SMBG testing approaches on patient-centered outcomes in patients with non-insulin-treated T2DM within the real-world clinic setting.OBJECTIVE 1: Assess SMBG effectiveness on 2 primary patient-centered outcomes, glycemic control (A1c) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL), over 1 year in 450 participants with non-insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (DM) in the following 3 groups: (1) no SMBG testing, (2) once-daily SMBG testing with standard patient feedback consisting of glucose values immediately reported to the patient through the glucometer, and (3) once-daily SMBG testing with enhanced patient feedback consisting of glucose values immediately reported to the patient plus automated, tailored messaging also delivered via the glucometer. OBJECTIVE 2: Evaluate the impact of SMBG on secondary patient-centered outcomes including (1) DM-related quality of life, (2) DM self-care, (3) DM treatment satisfaction, (4) DM self-efficacy, (5) patient-provider communication, (6) hypoglycemia frequency, and (7) health care utilization. OBJECTIVE 3: Conduct qualitative assessments of the patient participant and provider experience for all 3 intervention groups. This objective supports efficient translation of study findings to real-world clinic settings by exploring such issues as patient-provider communications, use of the glucometer and accompanying reports, utility of the treatment algorithm given to providers, and practice burden. METHODS: Using a stakeholder engagement approach, we developed and implemented a pragmatic trial. We randomly assigned 450 patients with non-insulin-treated T2DM in 15 North Carolina primary care practices to 3 arms without masking of treatment assignment: (1) no SMBG, (2) once-daily testing with standard feedback consisting of glucose values being immediately reported to the patient through the glucometer, and (3) once-daily SMBG with enhanced patient feedback consisting of glucose values being immediately reported to the patient plus automated, tailored feedback messaging delivered to the patient through the glucometer following each testing. Coprimary outcomes included glycemic control (A1c) and HRQOL at 52 weeks. RESULTS: A total of 450 patients were randomized and 92.9% completed the final visit. There were no significant differences in glycemic control across all 3 groups (P = 0.74; estimated adjusted mean A1c difference: SMBG with messaging vs no SMBG −0.09% [95% CI, −0.31% to 0.14%]; SMBG vs No SMBG −0.05% [95% CI, −0.27% to 0.17%]). There were also no significant differences found in HRQOL. There were no notable differences in key adverse events, including hypoglycemia frequency, health care utilization, or insulin initiation. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, at 1 year we observed no clinically or statistically significant differences in glycemic control or HRQOL between patients who performed SMBG compared with those who did not perform SMBG. The addition of tailored feedback provided through messaging via a meter did not provide any advantage in glycemic control.
