Personal health record design: qualitative exploration of issues inhibiting optimal use.
Few studies have examined the barriers to personal health record (PHR) use resulting from design issues identified by actual users. The researchers conducted interviews with 59 patients who had received training in using Microsoft Health Vault for PHRs to manage their diabetes-related health information. Three barriers to use (difficulty of use, lack of value, life got in the way) could be traced back to PHR design considerations.

Second-line agents for glycemic control for type 2 diabetes: are newer agents better?
The researchers aimed to assess the benefits and harms of four commonly used antihyperglycemia treatment regimens considering clinical effectiveness, quality of life, and cost. According to the model used by the researchers, all regimens resulted in similar life years and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) regardless of glycemic control goal, but the regimen with sulfonylurea incurred significantly lower cost per QALY.

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.
