Diabetes diagnosis and exercise initiation among older Americans.
The investigators sought to determine whether exercise participation increased following a new diagnosis of diabetes using a sample of U.S. individuals aged 50 and over who did not report exercise prior to diagnosis. They found that over 35% of persons with a new diagnosis of diabetes initiated moderate or vigorous exercise in the year following their diagnosis.

Validation of pediatric diabetes case identification approaches for diagnosed cases by using information in the electronic health records of a large integrated managed health care organization.
The researchers explored the utility of different algorithms for diabetes case identification by using electronic health records. They found that case identification accuracy was highest in 75% of bootstrapped samples for those who had 1 or more outpatient diabetes diagnoses or 1 or more insulin prescriptions and in 25% of samples for those who had 2 or more outpatient diabetes diagnoses and 1 or more antidiabetic medications.
