Качественная амбулаторная помощь при диабете требует как стандартов оказания амбулаторной помощи, часто обеспечиваемой структурированными наборами заказов, так и стандартов обеспечения качества для улучшения процессов. Протоколы, обзоры и руководства «передовой практики» непоследовательно применяются в больницах. Чтобы исправить это, в больницах установлены протоколы для структурированного ухода за пациентами и структурированные наборы заказов, которые включают компьютеризированный ввод заказов врача (CPOE). В первоначальных заказах должен быть указан тип диабета (например, диабет 1 или 2 типа) или отсутствие диабета в анамнезе. Поскольку стационарное использование инсулина и приказы о выписке могут быть более эффективными, если основаны на уровне A1C при поступлении, выполните тест A1C у всех пациентов с диабетом или гипергликемией, госпитализированных в больницу, если тест не был проведен. выполнено за предыдущие 3 месяца. Целью данной работы является рассмотрение стандартов амбулаторного лечения пациентов с диабетом 2 типа, составление рекомендации по поведению и формировании навыков в отношении самоконтроля при диабете. Quality ambulatory diabetes care requires both outpatient care standards, often provided by structured ordering, and quality assurance standards to improve processes. “Best practice” protocols, reviews and guidelines are inconsistently applied in hospitals. To remedy this, hospitals have established protocols for structured patient care and structured order sets that include computerized entry of physician orders (CPOE). Initial orders must indicate the type of diabetes (such as type 1 or 2 diabetes) or no history of diabetes. Because inpatient insulin use and discharge orders may be more effective if based on admission A1C levels, perform an A1C test on all diabetic or hyperglycemic patients admitted to the hospital if the test has not been performed. completed in the previous 3 months. The aim of this work is to review the standards of outpatient treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes, to draw up recommendations on behavior and skills formation in relation to self-management in diabetes.

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects many children in the United States. The chapter provides an overview of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and focuses on the roles of school-based providers in helping students with diabetes, in collaboration with families and medical providers. Specific strategies, such as educating school personnel and peers about the conditions and treatments and recognizing and responding to symptoms of the conditions, are discussed. Providing assistance with, and supervision of, self-management tasks, monitoring symptoms, and identifying and implementing appropriate school-based accommodations are some key activities school-based professionals adopt to support students with diabetes. Additionally, addressing any learning or psychological concerns and assessing for possible diabetes-related contributors are critical. Included in the chapter are handouts with helpful resources for professionals, lists of measures for assessing concerns common to children with diabetes, and a tool to support student engagement in self-management activities related to diabetes care.

American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes and associated long-term complications. Behavioral interventions play a vital role in promoting diabetes medical and psychological outcomes, yet the development of interventions for AI/AN communities has been limited. A systematic review was conducted of studies focused on the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of diagnosed diabetes among AI/ANs. Ovid and PubMed databases and published reference lists were searched for articles published between 1987 and 2014 that related to the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of type 1 or type 2 diabetes in the AI/AN population. Twenty studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Nineteen studies were observational and one study was intervention based. Two of the studies used community-based participatory research methodology. Of the 20 studies, 2 discussed cultural influences associated with diabetes self-management and 10 identified the specific tribes that participated in the study. Tribal affiliations among the studies were broad with the number of AI/AN participants in each study ranging from 30 to 23,529 participants. Emotional and behavioral topics found in the literature were adherence ( n = 2), depression ( n = 9), physical activity ( n = 3), psychosocial barriers ( n = 1), social support ( n = 3), and stress ( n = 2). Relatively few studies were identified using AI/AN populations over a 27-year period. This is in stark contrast to what is known about the prevalence and burden that type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus place on AI/AN communities. Future research should promote community engagement through the use of community-based participatory research methodologies, seek to further understand and describe the emotional and behavioral context for diabetes self-management in this population, and develop and test innovative interventions to promote the best possible diabetes outcomes.

Background: Support groups play an important role in diabetes understanding and education. This study aims to find connections between participating in diabetes-related online communities (groups and forums) and the self-reported degree of self-care management and health problems associated with type 1 and 2 diabetes. Methods: A cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted and 307 participants were recruited. Participants were asked about diabetes self-care management (glucose management, healthcare, dietary restrictions, and physical activity) and complications related to the disease, as well as their participation in online social groups and forums (duration, time, and intensity). Results: Belonging to diabetes-related online support groups (OSGs) was associated with lower scores in healthcare and self-management of diabetes ( M = 2.98, SD = 1.07, n = 207, for belonging to OSGs; and M = 4.22, SD = 0.59, n = 97, for not belonging to OSGs). These differences were not statistically significant for type 1 diabetes individuals ( M = 4.33, SD = 0.47, n = 28, for belonging to OSGs, and M = 4.29, SD = 0.48, n = 52, for not belonging to OSGs), but were highly significant for type 2 diabetes (T2D) individuals ( M = 2.41, SD = 0.68, n = 144, for belonging to OSGs; and M = 4.14, SD = 0.64, n = 61, for not belonging to OSGs). People with both type 1 and 2 diabetes reported to have suffered more complications derived from diabetes when they belonged to an OSG, but greater statistically significant differences were found in type 2 individuals. Conclusion: Patients with T2D who participate in OSGs show a higher correlation with having lower levels of diabetes self-care management as well as health complications related to the disease.

BACKGROUND Mobile health apps are commonly used to support diabetes self-management (DSM). However, there is limited research assessing whether such apps are able to meet the basic requirements of retaining and engaging users. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate participants’ retention and engagement with My Care Hub, a mobile app for DSM. METHODS The study employed an explanatory mixed methods design. Participants were people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who used the health app intervention for 3 weeks. Retention was measured by completion of the postintervention survey. Engagement was measured using system log indices and interviews. Retention and system log indices were presented using descriptive statistics. Transcripts were analyzed using content analysis to develop themes interpreted according to the behavioral intervention technology theory. RESULTS Of the 50 individuals enrolled, 42 (84%) adhered to the study protocol. System usage data showed multiple and frequent interactions with the app by most of the enrolled participants (42/50, 84%). Two-thirds of participants who inputted data during the first week returned to use the app after week 1 (36/42, 85%) and week 2 (30/42, 71%) of installation. Most daily used features were tracking of blood glucose (BG; 28/42, 68%) and accessing educational information (6/42, 13%). The interview results revealed the app’s potential as a behavior change intervention tool, particularly because it eased participants’ self-care efforts and improved their engagement with DSM activities such as BG monitoring, physical exercise, and healthy eating. Participants suggested additional functionalities such as extended access to historical analytic data, automated data transmission from the BG meter, and periodic update of meals and corresponding nutrients to further enhance engagement with the app. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this short-term intervention study suggested acceptable levels of participant retention and engagement with My Care Hub, indicating that it may be a promising tool for extending DSM support and education beyond the confines of a physical clinic.

The growing of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) has contributed to higher risk and costs in managing Type 2 Diabetes patients. Diabetes patients are exposed to develop serious health complications. It can lead to related diseases affecting heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves and teeth. There is no proper framework on operation management and cost effectiveness in treating diabetes patients in Malaysia. Hence, it demanded on the elements and associated costs incurred by both healthcare provider and patients. This paper adopted five stages in analyzing its relevant literatures. Cost effectiveness, healthcare provider, operation management and self-management were the literatures studied. It also highlighted on management accounting gained its relevancy and contribution towards health industry. As a result, a cost effectiveness of Type 2 Diabetes framework was developed. Cost effectiveness is a key component in determining value for money. This framework provides the value for money model for Type 2 Diabetes patients. The framework clearly provides the components of cost-effectiveness and 3Es: Economy, Efficiency; Effectiveness. Objectives, resources, input, processes, output, outcomes (intended or intended) and other influences are the components.

Research suggests that guided self-determination programmes can support self-management of diabetes by empowering self-determined goal setting and competence building. As most research in this area has focused on people with type 1 diabetes, knowledge is lacking on how adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus experience participation in such programmes. This study reports the modelling phase of a complex intervention design that explored the experiences of adults with type 2 diabetes who participated in a nurse-led guided self-determination programme in general practice and examines how the programme affected patients’ motivation to self-manage diabetes. The qualitative design with semistructured interviews included 9 adults with type 2 diabetes who participated in the programme. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings indicate that the participants experienced new life possibilities after participating in the programme, which seemed to have a positive influence on their motivation for self-management. Through reflections about how to live with diabetes, the participants reinterpreted their life with diabetes by gradually developing a closer relationship with the disease, moving towards acceptance. The fact that dialogue with the nurses was seen to be on an equal footing helped support the participants to become more self-determined.
