Diabetes management and treatment requires the use of many devices that frequently must puncture the skin, creating a risk of unintentional retention in the body as a retained diabetes device. In this article, we reviewed case studies about retained diabetes devices and presented analyses of the success rate of current imaging techniques in identif...

A data set comprising 28 533 oxygen partial pressure (pO2) values gathered from nonarterialized fingertip capillary blood samples of a large diabetes population is reported. Data were gathered routinely as part of the ongoing clinical surveillance activities of a blood glucose monitoring (BGM) system manufacturer. Overall, a mean pO2 level of 75.3 ...

Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is a progressive condition that deprives many patients of quality of life. With limited treatment options available, successful pain management can be difficult to achieve. We reviewed results of recent data evaluating high frequency spinal cord stimulation (SCS). from the SENZA-PDN randomized clinical trial (NCT03...

Pandemic circumstances created challenges for doctor of physical therapy (DPT) students to understand social determinants of health (SDH) in clinical rotations. Instead of canceling clinical rotations, a virtual reality cinema (cine-VR) education series was implemented. The purpose of this project is to describe the effect of this simulated immersi...

Cinematic-virtual reality (cine-VR) has demonstrated improvements in cultural self-efficacy, diabetes attitudes, and empathy among healthcare providers, but its impact on health professional students is unknown. The purpose of the single-arm pre-post study was to examine the feasibility of this cine-VR diabetes training program as well as to assess...

The impact of hormone dynamics throughout the menstrual cycle on insulin sensitivity represents a currently under-researched area. Despite therapeutic and technological advances, self-managing insulin therapy remains challenging for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D). To investigate perceived changes in glycemic levels and insulin requirements throug...

Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) is a critical component of diabetes care, but time for it is often limited. Digital tools, such as mobile applications (apps), show promise in extending efforts and supporting self-management education, but have not been fully used. Objectives of this multi-phase study were to (1) evaluate an a...

The development of diabetes technology is rapid and requires education and resources to be successfully implemented in diabetes care management. In an observational study, we evaluated the use of advanced diabetes technology, resource utilization, and glycemic control. The study population was 725 individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) living in Re...

Diabetes care for older adults is complex and must consider geriatric syndromes, disability, and elder abuse and neglect. Health care providers would benefit from professional training programs that emphasize these risks. One new educational approach is cinematic virtual reality (cine-VR). We conducted a pilot study to evaluate a cine-VR training p...
