The audit enables all diabetes foot care services to measure their performance against NICE clinical guidelines and peer units, and to monitor adverse outcomes for people with diabetes who develop diabetic foot disease. All organisations that provide a diabetic foot ulcer treatment service are eligible for inclusion in the audit. (HSCIC)
This evidence summary discusses the best available evidence for advanced wound dressings and antimicrobial dressings for managing common chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers and infected wounds) (NICE)
The results of this large population based study indicate that pioglitazone is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. The absence of an association with rosiglitazone suggests that the increased risk is drug specific and not a class effect (BMJ)
We have found lower risks of hyperglycaemia among patients prescribed dual therapy involving metformin with either gliptins or glitazones compared with metformin alone (BMJ)
Our system could potentially be used to deliver a variety of growth factors and anti-microbial peptides to the wound environment with the aim of enhancing wound healing, thereby improving patient outcome in a cost-effective manner (BMC Biotechnology)
The negative effect of diabetes on morbidity and mortality is greatest for those diagnosed at a young age compared with T2DM of usual onset. These results highlight the growing imperative to direct attention toward young-onset T2DM and for effective interventions to be applied before middle age (Diabetes Care)
Fatty Liver Index assessed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (FLI-NAFLD) was present in the majority of T2DM patients of our sample and metabolic derangement, not alcohol consumption, was mainly associated with the disease. FLI-NAFLD patients have a worse metabolic profile (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Adolescents and young adults with ASD were more likely to develop type 2 DM during the follow-up. In addition, those with ASD using atypical antipsychotics exhibited a high risk (Diabetes Care)

Gastroparesis has a significant impact on patients’ perceived ability to self-manage and control their diabetes. T1DM patients, in particular, associate their gastroparesis with episodes of hyper- and hypo-glycemia, and find their gastroparetic symptoms worsen with poor control (Diabetes and Its Complications)
