In a scenario marked by problems in the diagnosis as well as treatment of patients with Diabetes, the role of Diabetes educators becomes crucial for ensuring proper management and care of diabetes by working with the patients and their caregivers. In response to the need for Diabetes educators, experts at the Chellaram Diabetes Institute have designed an online Certificate Course for Diabetes Educators (CCDE), which aims to build the capacity of Diabetes Educators in the management and care of diabetes.

The delays in our NHS are causing huge problems for people who need medical assistance. This is logical and exceedingly worrying. I am on a panel this evening discussing the NHS. My fellow panelists and I all have different perspectives, so this is going to be very interesting. If you can't get to the event, consider this. Prevention is key. For instance, did you know that hypertension and diabetes are risk factors in neurological conditions? So please get your blood pressure and sugar levels checked by your GP. Regular check ups can keep you out of the NHS loop. It has to be worth it. #neurologicaldisorders #hypertension #diabetes #NHS

Digital Health companions or standalone applications can significantly contribute to sustain weight, after weight loss, eg. from GLP1s. Great analysis form RockHealth which consider the perspective from patients living with obesity. But the topic is by far more complex as it seems. Clarification on reimbursement, affordability, companion vs standalone solution, commorbities of patients (e.g. Diabetes, CKD).. most of these topics have to be considered when developing solutions for patients with real value add. https://lnkd.in/e3Ub6DKw #digitalhealth #transformation #obesity #glp1 #companion

New IT platform prioritises “hidden risk” diabetes patients. An innovative IT platform developed at Guy’s and St Thomas’ can identify high-risk diabetes patients who are on a waiting list, enabling them to be prioritised for urgent care and contributing to a reduction in health inequalities. This innovative approach using data to ensure better care and optimise clinical resources won the Driving Change Through Data and Analytics Award in the Health Service Journal earlier this year. 👉Swipe through to see article highlights Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eKsJNc88 #medtech #medicalnews #diabetes #NHS #MedicalIT #KPIhealth #Industrynews

✨ To mark the start of #PainAwarenessMonth, EMJ is delighted to share the latest infographic, to shine a light on 'diabetic peripheral neuropathy' ✨ https://lnkd.in/eq9RPYA4 It is estimated that 1 in 11 of the world's adult population is living with diabetes, with diabetic peripheral neuropathy becoming a growing global health emergency. This infographic focuses on the screening, diagnosis, and management of this complication to enhance awareness and drive earlier detection to improve outcomes.

Relationship Between Social Determinants of Health and Processes and Outcomes in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Validation of a Conceptual Framework Self-reported Medication Adherence. Medication Adherence was assessed with the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS); an 8-item scale with higher values indicating higher adherence. This study validated a conceptual framework of the relationship between social determinants of health and diabetes outcomes. Social determinants are contextual factors, which may vary by region and additional work is needed to fully understand these relationships globally. Results from this study suggest future interventions may benefit from including multiple factors including in the model, such as psychological factors and access to care rather than focusing on self-care. Consistent with the model, social determinants of health were directly associated with glycemic control, in addition to being associated with self-care, access to care and processes of care which are themselves associated with glycemic control. Interventions taking these factors into account are more likely to be effective at helping patients with type 2 diabetes achieve good outcomes. #sdoh #medicationadherence the company called adherence.

As the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and management. Unfortunately, an alarming number of individuals initially diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes by their GPs are later found to be Type 1 diabetics. This misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment plans, potentially worsening the patient's condition and quality of life. Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition, requires distinct management strategies, including insulin therapy from the onset. Misidentifying it as Type 2 diabetes, typically associated with lifestyle factors and insulin resistance, can delay critical interventions and result in severe health complications. Healthcare providers must ensure thorough testing and differential diagnosis to distinguish between the two types accurately. Additionally, raising awareness about this issue can empower patients to seek second opinions and advocate for comprehensive evaluations. It's time to address this critical gap in diabetes care to improve outcomes for all patients. #DiabetesAwareness #Type1Diabetes #Type2Diabetes #Misdiagnosis #Healthcare #PatientCare #MedicalErrors #ChronicIllness #InsulinTherapy #Endocrinology #GP #PrimaryCare #AutoimmuneDisease #PatientAdvocacy #MedicalTesting #HealthcareReform #DiabetesManagement #HealthEducation #MedicalCommunity #QualityOfCare
