Filter by:Population aging and the increase in incidence and prevalence of potentially disabling chronic conditions make health care more and more complex and costly. In this context, timelines are longer and adherence to care provision and health status are more variable - both within and between patients - and care is provided by different health care professionals, as well as services outside the health system, which may work at various levels of service integration. For diabetes, this is especially the case: patients at high risk for multimorbidity interact with multiple health care professionals, such as primary care physicians, diabetes specialists, nurses, nutritionists and therapeutic educators, with different perspectives to treatment. The patient is frequently the only link between the different health care professionals, and very often the main source of information regarding performed procedures, diagnoses and treatment decisions. A current challenge facing all health care stakeholders, including policy makers, practitioners, businesses, and patients, is to coordinate the available services and integrate care ensuring safety, effectiveness, and comprehensiveness in relation to the needs of individual users across the lifespan. Routine collected data can provide key information to completely assess a patient's health status and thus help evaluating and deciding adapted steps in treatment to stabilize or improve clinical outcomes. In France, the Dossier Medical Partagé (Shared Medical Record) represents an effort to centralize and improve accessibility, to patients and professionals alike, of medical information. This system is yet little adopted and there is the need for added value initiatives to exploit the tool's potential. In other countries, like the UK, the governmental unit NHSX develops public policies and good practices for the digital transformation of the NHS. In the United States, working groups like the Health Information Technology Working Group, in the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, develop electronic care plans using Electronic Health Record data for chronic kidney disease patients. These initiatives, among others, show the necessity of simple, visual communication in order to build a comprehensive care delivery pathway to inform decision and further care planning, according to health goals set by shared decision-making. This study aims to describe individual experiences of chronic care delivery of people living with diabetes and also from healthcare professionals working in diabetes care from 3 different domains: clinical (relevant clinical criteria necessary for the decision-making process, goal setting and planning), technological (tools used in routine practice and in patients' daily lives), and behavioural (behaviours and interactions that build the patient's pathway and strategies implemented by patients and professionals to help the decision-making process). Locations of the study : Primary and secondary healthcare facilities and patient associations in Lyon and Grenoble areas
The International Diabetes Federation estimated that there were nearly 110 million diabetes mellitus (DM) patients in China, which was the highest number recorded in the world. In response to the rising patient numbers and costs, the Chinese government has invested heavily in primary healthcare, with the goal of improving chronic disease management in the primary care settings. A key part of the primary care improvement program prioritizes health education as a route to lifestyle modification. Although the content and modes of delivery vary enormously, most of the programs focused on providing information rather than facilitating patient change. The impacts of traditional patient education on lifestyle modification and changes in psychological status have been reported to be suboptimal. It is therefore necessary to rethink and explore a more structured, patient-centered approach to health education at improving the outcomes of DM control. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, patient-centered counseling approach that aims to elicit behavior change.The focus of MI is to find and resolve the ambivalence, improve patients' perception of the importance of behavior change, and support them to make the change. MI provides a structural framework with guiding principles that can be easily followed by the primary care doctors. Some studies show that MI can contribute to improve healthy eating, weight control and increases in physical activity, but most research focused on intermediate outcome measures and did not evaluate the readiness to change. MI can be utilized by a variety of healthcare providers, which makes it adaptable for different culture and clinical settings. The effectiveness of MI in Chinese diabetic patients remains uncertain.Therefore, in this study, we adopted the group MI approach and developed a patient empowerment program (PEP) utilizing the techniques and framework of MI. We compared this to the most common form of DM education in China, a lecture on DM to patients and their carers in a hospital lecture theatre in a didactic manner. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the MI approach in terms of patient lifestyle modification and improving DM controls compared to the control group in a non-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) design.
The first objective is to investigate the effect of boba pearls made from different starches on glycaemia, insulinaemia and appetite control. The second objective is to investigate the effects of various sugar blends of sucrose with sugar substitutes in milk tea on glycaemia, insulinaemia and appetite control.
The purpose of this research study is to see if an occupational therapist can help people with high blood pressure and/or diabetes find ways to better take their medicine. Participants will be recruited from the Jordan Valley Community Health Center in Springfield, Missouri.
Bariatric surgery is recognized as a therapeutic modality of type 2 diabetes. The mechanisms of this remission of diabetes remain poorly understood. The aim of our research is to characterize the changes in muscle secretome induced by bariatric surgery and to determine their role in improving the insulin sensitivity of skeletal muscle and insulin secretion by the B cell responsible for the remission of diabetes.
The presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) also increases the relative risk of developing cardiovascular disease in women compared to men. Carotid intima media thickness (IMTc) was increased with reduction in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in T2 DM patients and inversely and strongly related to the extent of hyperglycemia. Low concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 involved in homocysteine metabolism are also associated with increased risk of vascular damage. the aim is to relate, if found, the degree of metabolic changes to the extent in vascular parameters changes in type 2 diabetic postmenopausal women.
