Psychosocial support and education

People with high diabetes distress achieve reductions in glycated hemoglobin and the need for emergency care for acute diabetes complications after starting on intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring, report researchers.

Researchers find psychologic resilience to be predictive of glycated hemoglobin levels in the 3 years after type 1 diabetes diagnosis.

Among adolescents with type 1 diabetes, those with better self-care are more likely to have favorable glycated hemoglobin trajectories into early adulthood, study findings suggest.

YouTube videos about diabetic foot examination are popular, but of poor quality, report UK researchers.
