Paradox of glycemic management: multimorbidity, glycemic control, and high-risk medication use among adults with diabetes.
Researchers examined contemporary patterns of glycemic control and use of medications known to cause hypoglycemia among adults with diabetes across age and multimorbidity. They found that the proportion of patients achieving low HbA1c levels was highest among older and multimorbid patients. Older patients and patients with higher comorbidity burden were more likely to be treated with insulin to achieve these HbA1c levels despite the potential for hypoglycemia and uncertain long-term benefit.

Methods for engaging stakeholders in comparative effectiveness research: a patient-centered approach to improving diabetes care.
This article presents ways to engage stakeholders in comparative effectiveness research, including patient community surveys, stakeholder meetings with substantial patient representation, and patient stakeholder deciding votes in selecting pilot research topics. Researchers and health care leaders should continue to develop best-practices and strategies for increasing patient involvement in comparative effectiveness and delivery science research.
