Abstract:

Diabetes prevalence is increasing in our ageing and increasingly obese society. Diabetes is a heterogeneous condition, and challenges remain in all aspects of its management - from diagnosis through to optimising treatment, to managing complications. Increasing age brings altered physiological responses to disease, treatments and complications - and there may be more wide-ranging considerations such as dietary, mobility, dependency or cognition, to name just a few. Hypoglycaemia is one of the most important potential side-effects of insulin-therapy, and elderly adults are at particular risk fr

Abstract:

The focus of this qualitative phenomenological research study was the lived experience of married couples between the ages of 60 and 70, one of whom has type 2 diabetes. The author sought to discover additional meanings concerning the experience of diabetic education, adherence to medications plans, modifications in lifestyle, and the role of the non-diabetic spouse in the experience. Participants were six married couples between the ages of 60 and 70. Three wives and three husbands had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Two one hour interviews were conducted with each couple, both spouses p

Abstract:

Background: Worldwide one in twelve people are living with diabetes and one in two people do not know they have diabetes. Currently large numbers of the older people live in residential care homes in the UK, and up to one in four older people living in residential care homes present with diabetes. Low vision is one of the complications associated with diabetes in older people. In those aged 75 and over, one in five, and in those aged over 90, one in two people are affected by low vision and they are at an increased risk of developing other eye diseases. Within 20 years of diagnosis nearly all

Abstract:

People with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of age-related cognitive impairment. Previous literature has focused on case-control studies comparing rates of cognitive impairment in patients with and without diabetes. Investigations of potential risk factors for cognitive impairment (including those with increased prevalence in diabetes, such as macrovascular disease, and diabetes-specific factors such as hypoglycaemia) in study populations consisting exclusively of patients with type 2 diabetes have been largely neglected. Moreover, previous studies have failed to take advantage of the ex

Abstract:

The deleterious effects of Type 2 diabetes on the brain have been shown to result in a greater prevalence of age-associated cognitive impairment and an enhanced risk of age-related cognitive decline in older diabetic populations. Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder. Apart from the negative impact of abnormalities intrinsic to diabetes, diabetes-associated cerebral microvascular disease may contribute to this accelerated cognitive ageing. Direct in vivo evaluation of the cerebral microcirculation is difficult in humans and the vessels themselves are too small to permit detailed visu

The Intent of the study was to understand the human experience of living with diabetes and the sociocultural context in which it is lived. Data collection and analysis ran concurrently. Data were collected through a series of interviews with nine Chinese informants who were diagnosed with late onset diabetes and were undergoing insulin treatment at home. Informants' ag

Among a cohort of 219,145 patients with diabetes aged ≥65 years there was a high burden of community-acquired infection: lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) having the highest crude rate (152.7/1,000 years) follo

Abstract:

Increasingly chronic liver disease is being acknowledged as a complication of type 2 diabetes, in particular non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Rates of non-alcoholic fatty liver are higher in people with type 2 diabetes than in the general population, with prevalence rates believed to be between 40-70%. Given the aging Scottish population and the obesity driven diabetes epidemic, the problem of chronic liver disease is likely to increase. Despite this there has been little investigation into the natural history of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the risks of

Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes is a common chronic disease, which has a negative health impact and results in enormous economic burden. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing dramatically and it affects older people disproportionately. The healthcare system in China is faced with an overwhelming burden due to a large ageing population, high prevalence of diabetes and limited healthcare resources. Self-management has been widely accepted as the cornerstone of the clinical management of type 2 diabetes. Since self-management usually involves complex behaviour change and can be emotionally challenging,

Diabetes is a growing problem globally, with the major impact being experienced in low and middle-income countries. In 2017, there were an estimated 122.8 million people over the age of 65 years living with diabetes globally, with a prevalence of 18.8% and 3.2 million deaths at this age. If the trends continue, the number of people living with diabetes over the age of 65 years will be 253.4 million in 2045.This is being driven by demographic changes including the ageing of the population.

Diabetes affects 25.8 million Americans. Complications related to this growing disease impact public health.

The objective of this project was to establish the changes in skin properties over time, within different ambient environments, and after acute exercise.

Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has an estimated incidence of nearly 11 million US adults aged 65 years and older. Evidence suggests that the quality of the marital relationship is an important factor for diabetes related health outcomes affecting self-management and adherence (Kiecolt-Glaser & Newton, 2001). However, an individual in need may compensate for primary support that is unavailable or not optimal by looking for other sources of support, which may be important for health outcomes (Rini, et al., 2008).

Abstract:

Compared to the general population, diabetic patients experience a higher prevalence of depression, which can often exacerbate diabetic symptoms and complicate treatment. Studies show that religion is associated with both better physical health and better psychological functioning; however, studies incorporating religion and depression among diabetic individuals are scarce. The present study addressed this gap in the literature by examining archival data from the 2008 and 2010 data waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS).
