Reconsidering the age thresholds for type II diabetes screening in the U.S.
In order to examine the optimal age cut-point for opportunistic universal screening (as opposed to targeted screening), the researchers used a nationally representative sample from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2010) and other resources. They found that opportunistic screening among individuals 35 years of age and older could greatly reduce the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Intensification of antihyperglycemic therapy among patients with incident diabetes: a Surveillance Prevention and Management of Diabetes Mellitus (SUPREME-DM) study.
The aim of this study was to characterize antihyperglycemic intensification during the first year after initiating oral antihyperglycemic therapy among adult patients with incident diabetes. The researchers found that 43.5 percent of patients with diabetes had treatment intensified within 1 year of starting antihyperglycemic medication. HbA1c of less than 7 percent was achieved in a very high proportion of patients (65.1 percent).
