There are controversies regarding the effect of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment with positive airway pressure (PAP) on diabetes-related outcomes. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association of PAP adherence with diabetes-related outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and OSA. In this prospective study, we included T2DM patients diagnosed with OSA during an 8-year period (2015-2023). PAP adherence (optimal usage for > 6 h/night for ≥ 70% of nights), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale-ESS) and cardiovascular (CVD) events were recorded. Comparisons of the change in diabetes-related outcomes (follow-up to baseline) in the adherent and non-adherent groups were assessed by analysis of covariance to adjust for relevant confounders. Of the 355 patients included, 199 (56%) were PAP adherent. The mean follow-up period was 5.5 years. At the end of the follow up period, the PAP adherent group achieved a greater decrease in HbA1c levels (-1.4 vs. -0.3), SBP (-10.1 vs. -5.5), DBP (-2.9 vs. -0.55) and ESS (-5.9 vs. -4.2) compared to the non-adherent groups. Achieving optimal PAP adherence in patients with T2DM and OSA was associated with improved diabetes-related outcomes. Therefore, current practices need to be modified to incorporate systematic assessment and treatment of OSA in these patients.

Aim(s): To explore how primary care practitioners, including nurses, provide dietary diabetes management to migrants.
Design: The scoping review followed, a refined and structured methodological framework and adhered to the Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review guidelines.
Methods And Data Sources: Searches were conducted across CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus databases to identify studies published between 2000 and 2024 that focus on dietary diabetes care for migrants in Primary Health Care settings.

Background: Many people with type 2 diabetes eventually require and benefit from insulin injection therapy, but only a minority of people receiving such therapy meet their glycaemic targets. Thus, effective diabetes self-management programmes are needed to support this cohort.
Objective: To examine the effects of a nurse-led diabetes self-management programme on self-efficacy, self-management behaviours, glycaemic control, and diabetes-related distress of Chinese people with type 2 diabetes receiving insulin injection therapy, and to collect their experiences and perceived benefits of and feedback on the programme.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent form of chronic liver disease and is a comorbidity in type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) is emerging as a potential therapeutic strategy for diabetes and NAFLD through mitochondrial transfer initiated by signaling from injured recipient cells. Thus, in this study, we investigated whether exogenous mitochondrial preconditioning of MSCs could exert superior effects on NAFLD and explore the role of MSCs-mediated mitochondrial transfer into hepatocyte.

Introduction: Adults with learning disabilities in the UK have a substantially higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) than the general population. This study aimed to assess the impact of living with learning disabilities on T2DM control, therapeutic management, vascular outcomes, and mortality in UK primary care.
Research Design And Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study using primary care electronic health records from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink.
