JAMA: August 21, 2013 Importance The increased prescribing of antipsychotics for children and youth has heightened concerns that this practice increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective To compare the risk of type 2 diabetes in children and youth 6 to 24 years of age for recent initiators of antipsychotic drugs vs propensity score–matched controls who had […]
JAMA: 8/14/13 Importance Depression has been identified as a risk factor for dementia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus but the cognitive domains and patient groups most affected have not been identified. Objective To determine whether comorbid depression in patients with type 2 diabetes accelerates cognitive decline. Design A 40-month cohort study of participants in the Action […]
Ajcn: 8/14/13 Background: The association between intake of dairy products and the risk of type 2 diabetes has been investigated in several studies, but the evidence is not conclusive. Objective: We conducted an updated systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of dairy product intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Design: We searched the PubMed database for […]
PLOS: 8/7/13 Previous studies have suggested that some pet dogs respond to their owners’ hypoglycaemic state. Here, we show that trained glycaemia alert dogs placed with clients living with diabetes afford significant improvements to owner well-being. We investigated whether trained dogs reliably respond to their owners’ hypoglycaemic state, and whether owners experience facilitated tightened glycaemic control, and wider […]
Journal of General Internal Medicine: link.springer: August 2013 Traditional risk factors, particularly obesity, do not completely explain the excess risk of diabetes among African Americans compared to whites. OBJECTIVE We sought to quantify the impact of recently identified, non-traditional risk factors on the racial disparity in diabetes risk. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS We analyzed data […]
Diabetes: August 15, 2013 Risk of Diabetes in American Indians: The Strong Heart Family Study Telomeres play a central role in cellular aging and shorter telomere length has been associated with age-related disorders including diabetes. However, a causal link between telomere shortening and diabetes risk has not been established. In a well-characterized longitudinal cohort of […]

Diabetes Care: August 19, 2013 Objective High heat cooking of food induces formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), which are thought to impair glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetic patients. High intake of fructose might additionally affect endogenous formation of AGEs. This parallel intervention study investigated whether addition of fructose or cooking methods influencing the AGE content […]
A cluster-randomized, controlled clinical trial of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness Diabetes Care: August 15, 2013 OBJECTIVE Diabetes treatment should be effective and cost-effective. HbA1c-associated complications are costly. Would patient-centered care be more (cost-) effective if it was targeted to patients within specific HbA1c ranges? RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This prospective, cluster-randomized, controlled trial involved 13 hospitals (clusters) in the Netherlands […]
