Association between diagnosed diabetes and trouble seeing, National Health Interview Survey, 2011-13.
This study used nationally representative 2011–2013 data from the United States to estimate the association between diagnosed diabetes and trouble seeing. Diagnosed diabetes was associated with approximately double the odds of self-reported trouble seeing. Older age, less education, and a history of comorbid conditions were positively correlated, while male sex, being married, and having health insurance were negatively correlated with trouble seeing.

Racial/ethnic differences in gestational diabetes prevalence and contribution of common risk factors.
This study aimed to assess racial/ethnic differences in relative contribution of risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among Asian subgroups (Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese), Hispanics, non-Hispanic blacks, and non-Hispanic whites. It found that GDM was most prevalent among Asian Indians (19.3 percent). Relative risks were similar across all race/ethnic groups.

Who must we target now to minimize future cardiovascular events and total mortality? Lessons from the Surveillance, Prevention and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) cohort study.
This report examined trends in cardiovascular events and mortality in US health systems to help guide the design of targeted clinical and public health strategies to reduce cardiovascular events and mortality rates. It concluded that in order to sustain improvements health systems that have successfully focused on care improvement in high-risk adults with diabetes or heart disease must broaden their improvement strategies to target lower risk adults who have not yet developed diabetes or hearat disease.

Rheumatoid arthritis and the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy.
The objective of this study was to examine RA as a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy compared with other vascular risk factors. It found that compared with patients without RA, the adjusted model demonstrated that patients with diabetes and RA were 28 percent less likely to have diabetic retinopathy.

Perspectives on prevention of type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes: a qualitative study of Hispanic, African-American and White women.
This qualitative study explored the perspectives of Hispanic, African-American, and White women affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The goal is for this work to inform the development of effective approaches to engage diverse populations affected by GDM in taking steps to reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Risk of diabetes among patients receiving primary androgen deprivation therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer.
The researchers sought to determine if primary androgen deprivation therapy increases the risk of diabetes and to determine the susceptibility factors. They found that primary androgen deprivation therapy may increase diabetes risk by 60% and recommended using caution when managing localized prostate cancer. They further recommended routine screening and lifestyle interventions to reduce the risk of diabetes in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy.

Preventable major cardiovascular events associated with uncontrolled glucose, blood pressure, and lipids and active smoking in adults with diabetes with and without cardiovascular disease: a contemporary analysis.
The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of major cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization events and all-cause deaths among adults with diabetes with or without CV disease (CVD) associated with inadequately controlled glycated hemoglobin, high LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and current smoking. It found that the percentages of CV events associated with inadequate risk factor control were 11 percent for those with CVD and 34 percent for those without CVD.

Random blood glucose: a robust risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
This study examined the association between random glucose values and undiagnosed diabetes and prediabetes. In a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population without diagnosed diabetes, the researchers found that a single random blood glucose value of at least 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) is strongly associated with undiagnosed diabetes and demonstrates a robust dose response.

End-stage renal disease among HIV-infected adults in North America.
Given the many potential contributors to ESRD risk, the goal of this study was to assess the relative contributions of clinical and demographic factors to ESRD. It found that HIV-infected ESRD cases were more likely to be of black race, have diabetes mellitus or hypertension, inject drugs, and/or have a prior AIDS-defining illness.
