Prediabetes awareness is not associated with lower consumption of self-reported added sugar in U.S. adults.
This study examined whether prediabetes awareness is associated with lower consumption of self-reported added sugar in US adults 20 years and older. Cross-sectional data for 3314 adults with prediabetes were analyzed from 2013-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Among 3314 adults, 528 reported being aware and 2786 were unaware of their condition. Prediabetes awareness was not significantly associated with added sugar consumption with no differences for age, sex, or race/Hispanic origin.

The role of religious leaders in health promotion for older Mexicans with diabetes.
This study explored the views of ten male Mexican religious leaders about their understanding of their role in diabetes health promotion. The author found that the major themes from the qualitative interviews emphasized the importance of open communication between church leaders and their parishioners, the role of the church in diabetes programs, and the unique position of religious institutions as a link between physical and spiritual aspects of health.

The comparative experiences of women in control: diabetes self-management education in a virtual world.
The investigators characterized participants' experiences of a diabetes self-management (DSM) education program delivered via a virtual world (VW) versus a face-to-face (F2F) format. They found that VW and F2F groups both reported mastery of DSM knowledge, attitudes, and skills, and there were no differences in peer-derived social support between groups. The technological aspects of VW participation afforded VW participants a unique sense of personal agency and diabetes self-efficacy not reported by F2F participants. They concluded that DSM education in a VW is feasible and educational outcomes are similar to a F2F classroom experience.
