Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Nach der Manifestation eines Typ-1-Diabetes bei einem Kind benötigen viele Familien differenzierte Informationen zu spezifischen sozialrechtlichen Regelungen. In vielen Diabetesfachambulanzen oder Praxen gibt es dafür jedoch keine Sozialarbeiter, sodass sich Betroffene an das Diabetesteam wenden oder im Internet nach Hilfe suchen. Im Rahmen eines Modellprojekts unterstützte die DAMP-Stiftung von 2015 bis 2021 die Einrichtung des „Kinderdiabeteslotsen für Schleswig-Holstein“ am UKSH Lübeck. Ein zentrales Element war die Erstellung einer Webseite mit juristisch geprüften Informationen für Familien und Diabetesteams: https://www.kinderdiabeteslotse-sh.de. Die Akzeptanz der Website soll hier untersucht werden.
Methode Vom 12.04.21 bis zum 17.05.21 fand eine anonyme Erhebung der Zufriedenheit mit dem Angebot mittels eines Online-Fragebogens auf der Webseite statt. Die Daten wurden deskriptiv ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse Im genannten Zeitraum wurde der Fragebogen 228-mal aufgerufen; 179 Personen beantworteten ihn vollständig. Deren Antworten gingen in die Auswertung ein. Von den 179 Teilnehmern waren 38,6 % Eltern, 4,8 % Erwachsene mit Typ-1-Diabetes und 28,1 % Fachpersonal, mehrheitlich aus Kliniken, 28,5 % der Personen machten keine Angabe. Die Internetseite wurde von 92 % der Befragten als „wichtig“ eingestuft, 85 % beurteilten die herunterladbaren schriftlichen Informationen und Handlungsanweisungen als gut und sahen dabei keinen Verbesserungsbedarf.
Diskussion Sozialrechtliche Themen stellen einen erheblichen Anteil der ambulanten Beratung dar und erfordern vom Diabetesteam ein fundiertes sozialrechtliches Wissen. Die Sozialgesetze gelten bundesweit, aber je nach Bundesland können Ansprechpartner und Sonderregelungen zu abweichenden Antragswegen führen. Dies gilt vor allem für die Hilfen zum Thema Schule.
Schlussfolgerung Es kann diskutiert werden, ob eine solche kontinuierlich aktualisierte Internetseite über ein zentrales Organ der Diabetologie deutschlandweit Familien und Diabetesteams zugänglich gemacht werden sollte.

Abstract
Adolescence is a challenging time for the medical management of type 1 diabetes. Thus, a range of psychoeducational interventions have been developed to improve diabetes management among youth. Systematic reviews of this literature have emphasized the effectiveness of interventions for improving patient outcomes. However, knowledge beyond what works is required for interventions to be adopted into routine clinical practice. The objective of this scoping review was to map the clinical utility of the literature based on a variety of indicators, including the problem base, context placement, information gain, transparency, pragmatism, and patient-centeredness of the research. This lens for reviewing research is consistent with the biopsychosocial model and an increasing focus on reducing disability, including activity limitation and participation restriction. PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and CINHAL databases were searched for evaluative psychoeducational intervention studies published between January 2005 and October 2020. Two cited reference searches and one reference list search were also performed. Fifty studies describing 46 different interventions were identified. The clinical utility of the interventions was highly variable. A detailed overview of the clinical utility of the literature is provided with an emphasis on current gaps and shortcomings to be addressed in future research. This work helps advance the translation of clinical knowledge into practice in schools, homes, and communities; and, ultimately, improve the health and well-being of adolescents with T1D.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungDiabetes mellitus Typ 1 ist die häufigste endokrinologische Erkrankung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen unter 15 Jahren. Eine Heilungsperspektive bezüglich der Autoimmunreaktion gegen die insulinbildenden Betazellen ist weiterhin nicht in Sicht. Dennoch konnte durch technische Innovationsschübe bei Glukosesensoren, Insulinpumpen und Steuerungsalgorithmen innerhalb der letzten Jahre die Stoffwechselkontrolle optimiert werden. Diese Entwicklungen führen zusammen mit individuellen Diabetesschulungen und psychosozialer Unterstützung zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Versorgung.In diesem Übersichtsartikel wird die aktuelle Versorgungssituation von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Typ-1-Diabetes sowie ihren Eltern dargestellt. In Deutschland ist die multidisziplinäre, spezialisierte Versorgung durch Teams aus Kinder- und Jugenddiabetolog*innen, Diabetesberater*innen, Sozialarbeiter*innen und Kinder- und Jugendpsychotherapeut*innen seit vielen Jahren etabliert und führt zu einer im internationalen Vergleich sehr guten Versorgungsqualität. Fokussiert werden die Diabetesschulung mit dem Schwerpunkt, das Selbstmanagement optimal zu unterstützen, die psychosoziale Begleitung und Intervention sowie die Inklusion in Schulen und Kindertagesstätten. Wir gehen außerdem auf neue soziale Entwicklungen der Diabetes-Online-Community ein. Ein aktuelles Beispiel ist die patientenbetriebene Bewegung „Do-It-Yourself Artificial Pancreas System“ (DIY-APS), die als Open-Source-Projekt mittlerweile Innovationsgeber auch für Medizinproduktehersteller ist. Zum Schluss beleuchten wir die damit verbundenen Chancen, aber auch die Verschiebung der klassischen Arzt-Patienten-Rollen.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to identify evidence available in the literature on educational strategies used in the teaching of insulin therapy to children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes mellitus. Method: systematic review undertaken in five databases, using the descriptors Insulin/therapeutic use, Patient education as topic, Diabetes mellitus type 1, Child, Infant, Adolescent and keywords, without any time limit. Primary studies on insulin therapy teaching were included, while research on insulin pumps was excluded. Results: 243 studies were identified, 13 of which were included. The results present educational strategies focused on children, adolescents and young people of up to 24 years of age, applied individually or in groups; by telephone contact or text messages by mobile phone; dramatization and educational camps; by a single professional or a multidisciplinary team. The strategies described in the analyzed studies addressed the adjustment of insulin dosages in everyday situations and education for insulin management, associated with the nutritional strategy of carbohydrate counting, diabetes education with a specific module on insulin therapy and intensive insulin use. The studies analyzed the effect of the educational intervention on several clinical and behavioral outcomes, such as glycated hemoglobin and self-efficacy. Conclusion: this review could not identify a single educational strategy able to improve metabolic and psychosocial outcomes. In most cases, nurses are the professionals responsible for the development of educational strategies focused on insulin therapy in children and adolescents with diabetes, regardless of the context in which they will be deployed. This confirms their role as educators.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Western Australia (WA) are managed by a single, specialist multidisciplinary diabetes service based at a central tertiary hospital in the capital city, Perth, which provides outreach care in regional centers. OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypothesis that outcomes for a contemporary, population-based pediatric T1D cohort, managed by a single tertiary service are similar for metropolitan and non-metropolitan patients using this model of care. To confirm that the cohort is indeed population based, a secondary aim of the study was to determine the case ascertainment of the Western Australian Children's Diabetes Database (WACDD). METHODS Data for all T1D patients aged <18 years, who attended the diabetes clinics (metropolitan and non-metropolitan), at least once in 2014, were extracted from the WACDD and outcomes including HbA1c and severe hypoglycemia (SH) rates analyzed. RESULTS In 2014, a total of 1017 patients (492 females, 525 males) attended the diabetes clinics (54% metropolitan and 46% non-metropolitan). After adjusting for age, sex, diabetes duration, and insulin regimen, region of clinic was not a significant predictor of mean HbA1c or SH rate. The case ascertainment of the WACDD was estimated to be 99.9% complete for children diagnosed with T1D aged <15 years between 2002 and 2012. CONCLUSIONS This study reports similar glycemic outcomes for patients attending diabetes clinics in metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas of WA, suggesting that a model of care provided as outreach from a specialized diabetes service is effective in achieving equitable glycemic outcomes.

Abstract
RATIONALE, AIMS, AND OBJECTIVES Use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy in type 1 diabetes management is high. However, the incorporation of this technology into self-care is not without challenges, and the support of an appropriately skilled health care team is recommended. This study aimed to examine the support context for patients using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy from the health care professional perspective, as well as contextual influences for health care professionals and their patients. METHODS This ethnographic qualitative study was undertaken in New South Wales, Australia. Recruitment occurred using a snowball sampling technique, beginning with members of an established diabetes service group. Data were collected through the use of semistructured interviews undertaken by telephone and analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS Data were obtained from 26 interviews with staff from diverse professional backgrounds. An overarching theme of difficulties, disconnections, and disarray emerged, with findings indicating that participants perceived difficulties in relation to shortages of health care professional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion-related expertise, and disconnected and disarrayed service structures and process, with barriers to access to these devices. Individual health care professionals were left to manage somehow or opted not to engage with related care. CONCLUSIONS Findings provide insights from health care professionals' perspectives into the complexity of providing support for patients using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy across diverse contexts, and provide a platform for further research and service development. The need for consistent and coordinated care, and the infrastructure to facilitate this, flags an opportunity to drive integration of care and teamworking across as well as within settings and disciplines.

Abstract
Positive psychological characteristics, such as optimism, self-efficacy, and resilience, have been increasingly associated with improved outcomes in medically ill individuals. However, there has been minimal systematic review of these characteristics and their associations with outcomes in people with diabetes. We aim to review these associations, their potential mediating mechanisms, and the evidence supporting interventions targeting these qualities. In people with diabetes, positive psychological characteristics are significantly associated with improved glycemic control, fewer complications, and reduced rates of mortality. Potential mechanisms mediating these associations include behavioral factors (e.g., improved treatment adherence), reduced inflammation, and improved neuroendocrine and autonomic functioning. Most psychosocial treatments in this population have focused on improving self-efficacy and resilience; such interventions may improve quality of life, well-being, and diabetes self-care. While untested in diabetes, interventions to boost other positive characteristics have been effective in other medically ill patients and may warrant further study in this cohort.

[PMID: 23355675 PMCID: PMC3563116 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2012-002429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2012] [Revised: 12/18/2012] [Accepted: 12/18/2012] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Kids In Control OF Food (KICk-OFF) is a cluster-randomised controlled trial, which aims to determine the efficacy of a 5 day structured education course for 11-year-olds to 16-year-olds with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) when compared with standard care, and its cost effectiveness. Less than 15% of children and young people with T1DM in the UK meet the recommended glycaemic target. Self-management education programmes for adults with T1DM improve clinical and psychological outcomes, but none have been evaluated in the paediatric population. KICk-OFF is a 5-day structured education course for 11-year-olds to 16- year-olds with T1DM. It was developed with input from young people, parents, teachers and educationalists. METHODS AND ANALYSIS 36 paediatric diabetes centres across the UK randomised into intervention and control arms. Up to 560 participants were recruited prior to centre randomisation. KICk-OFF courses are delivered in the intervention centres, with standard care continued in the control arm. Primary outcomes are change in glycaemic control (HbA1c) and quality of life between baseline and 6 months postintervention, and the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia. Sustained change in self-management behaviour is assessed by follow-up at 12 and 24 months. Health economic analysis will be undertaken. Data will be reported according to the CONSORT statement for cluster-randomised clinical trials. All analyses will be by intention-to-treat with a two-sided p value of <0.05 being regarded as statistically significant. The study commenced in 2008. Data collection from participants is ongoing and the study will be completed in 2013. ETHICS The study has been approved by the Sheffield Research Ethics Committee. DISSEMINATION Results will be reported in peer reviewed journals and conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN37042683.

Carbohydrate counting with a bolus calculator improves post-prandial blood glucose levels in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps. Pediatr Diabetes 2012; 13:545-51. [PMID: 22776045 DOI: 10.1111/j.1399-5448.2012.00883.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2012] [Revised: 04/12/2012] [Accepted: 05/04/2012] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM Carbohydrate counting (CC) is widely used in insulin pumps. The primary objectives of this study were improvement of HbA1c and meal-related plasma glucose (PG) levels when using CC. METHODS Forty patients with pump treatment, aged 13.8 ± 3.4 yr (range 5.0-19.5) and diabetes duration 8.0 ± 3.8 (1.8-16.8) years completed a 1-yr multi-center study. HbA1c at start was 7.6 ± 0.9% Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), 59 ± 10 mmol/mol International Federation for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC). They were randomized into (A) control group, (B) manual CC, and (C) CC with a bolus calculator in the pump for calculations. (B) and (C) received education in CC while (A) received equal hours of traditional dietary education. Glucose meters were downloaded at visits and the standard deviation (PG-SD) calculated. PG measurements from before and 2 h after meals were registered separately. RESULTS We found no difference in HbA1c between the groups. Group C had a non-significant decrease in PG-SD (p = 0.056) compared to start, and a significantly higher number of post-meal PG between 4 and 8 mmol/L at 12 months compared to group A (55.3% vs. 30.6%, p = 0.014). The frequency of hypoglycemia was reduced for the whole study group (p = 0.01), but with no significant difference between groups. (A) significantly increased their basal-insulin dosage at 12 months. In (C), all subjects wanted to continue CC after the study. The insulin:carbohydrate ratio correlated significantly to the insulin-dose/24 h (p = 0.003) and the correction factor to the insulin-dose/24 h (p = 0.035) and age (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that CC using a bolus calculator may help decrease PG-fluctuations and increase post-meal PG values within target.

Abstract
'SWEET' is an acronym standing for 'Better control in pediatric and adolescent diabeteS: Working to crEate CEnTers of Reference (CORs)' and is based on a partnership of established national and European diabetes organizations such as International Diabetes Federation, Federation of European Nurses in Diabetes, and Primary Care Diabetes Europe (PCDE, www.sweet-project.eu). A three-level classification of centers has been put forward. In addition to centers for local care, SWEET collaborating centers on their way to being a COR have been defined. Peer-audited CORs with a continuous electronic documentation of at least 150 pediatric patients with diabetes treated by a multidisciplinary team based on the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) Clinical Practice recommendations have been created in 12 European countries. In 2011, they cared for between 150 to more than 700 youth with diabetes with an average hemoglobin A1c between 7.6 and 9.2%. Although these clinics should not be regarded as representative for the whole country, the acknowledgment as COR includes a common objective of targets and guidelines as well as recognition of expertise in treatment and education at the center. In a first step, the SWEET Online platform allows 12 countries using 11 languages to connect to one unified diabetes database. Aggregate data are de-identified and exported for longitudinal health and economic data analysis. Through their network, the CORs wish to obtain political influence on a national and international level and to facilitate dissemination of new approaches and techniques. The SWEET project hopes to extend from the initial group of centers within countries, throughout Europe, and beyond with the help of the ISPAD network.

Abstract
We conducted a randomized controlled trial for 12 weeks in patients with type 2 diabetes living in a rural part of Korea. The intervention group (n = 35) was managed by a diabetes centre which provided specialized management mediated by a primary health-care nurse who used a PDA-type blood glucometer with a bar code detector to measure the capillary glucose levels. The control group (n = 36) received usual care. Compared with baseline, HbA(1c) was significantly reduced at three-month follow-up in the intervention group (8.0% vs. 7.5%; P < 0.01), but not in the control group. Total cholesterol was significantly reduced in the intervention group (10.7 mmol/L vs. 10.4 mmol/L; P = 0.043). Fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride levels were lower at follow-up in both groups, but the difference was not significant. The new system could be implemented widely and would contribute to improving the quality of diabetes care, even in isolated rural areas.

Abstract
We conducted a randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of a system for online glucose monitoring of type 2 diabetes patients. The software automatically filtered the self-monitored blood glucose data to reduce physicians' time. In the control group, the physicians had to contact the patients manually. We measured the time spent by physicians for online management in a 24-week study. Seventy-nine patients were recruited. The frequency of physicians' online monitoring of the patients was decreased by 55% in patients with HbA(1c) ≤ 6.5% and by 29% when HbA(1c) > 6.5% (P < 0.01). Physicians' log-in time was reduced by 67% and 55% in patients with HbA(1c) ≤6.5% and >6.5%, respectively (P <0.05). HbA(1c) levels were maintained at <6.5% during the study period in both groups. The study showed the efficacy and safety of the software for online communication in diabetes management. The results suggest that it could improve the cost-effectiveness of online communication systems and form the basis of future clinical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess quality of life (QoL) and glycemic control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and to investigate the impact of an educational program. METHODS A quasiexperimental study with nonrandomized experimental and control groups was conducted in which a total of 503 adolescents with type 1 diabetes completed a questionnaire using the Diabetes Quality of Life Instrument for Youth. Adolescents were then assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to four 120-minute sessions of an educational program over a period of 4 months. Extracted medical chart data included the duration of diabetes, insulin dosage, and most recent hemoglobin A1c levels. Analysis of covariance was used to detect the impact of intervention. RESULTS The overall mean QoL score (%) was 76.51 ± 9.79, with good QoL in 38% of all adolescents. Poorer QoL was significantly associated with older age (P < 0.001), more hospital admissions in the last 6 months (P = 0.006), higher levels of depression (P < 0.001), poor self-esteem (P < 0.001), and poor self-efficacy (P < 0.001). There was significant deterioration in all domains of QoL in the experimental group after intervention. However, this deterioration was significantly less severe than in the control group. Between-group effects on total knowledge, adherence to exercise, glucose monitoring, treatment, self-efficacy, family contribution to management, glycemic control, and satisfaction with life were significantly in favor of the experimental group. CONCLUSION Education intervention for adolescents with type 1 diabetes could be a safeguard against possible deterioration in QoL and glycemic control over time.

Abstract
New diabetes management systems based on interactive communication have been introduced recently, accompanying rapid advances in information technology; these systems are referred to as "ubiquitous diabetes management systems." In such ubiquitous systems, patients and medical teams can communicate via Internet or telecommunications, with patients uploading their glucose data and personal information, and medical teams sending optimal feedback. Clinical evidence from both long-term and short-term trials has been reported by some researchers. Such systems appear to be effective not only in reducing the levels of HbA1c but also in stabilizing glucose control. However, most notably, evidence for the cost-effectiveness of such a system should be demonstrated before it can be propagated out to the general population in actual clinical practice. To establish a cost-effective model, various types of clinical decision supporting software designed to reduce the labor time of physicians must first be developed. A number of sensors and devices for monitoring patients' data are expected to be available in the near future; thus, methods for automatic interconnections between devices and web charts were also developed. Further investigations to demonstrate the clinical outcomes of such a system should be conducted, hopefully leading to a new paradigm of diabetes management.

Abstract
A mobile phone with a glucometer integrated into the battery pack (the 'Diabetes Phone') was launched in Korea in 2003. We compared its effect on management of type 2 diabetes to the Internet-based glucose monitoring system (IBGMS), which had been studied previously. We conducted a randomized trial involving 69 patients for three months. Participants were assigned to an Internet group or a phone group. The phone group communicated with medical staff through the mobile phone only. Their glucose-monitoring data were automatically transferred to individual, web-based charts and they received medical recommendations by short message service. The Internet group used the IBGMS. There were no significant differences between the groups at baseline. After three months' intervention, HbA(1c) levels of both groups had decreased significantly, from 7.6% to 6.9% for the Internet group and from 8.3% to 7.1% for the phone group (P < 0.01). Levels of patient satisfaction and adherence to medical advice were similar. Mobile, bidirectional communication between doctors and patients using the diabetes phone was as effective for glucose control as the previously-studied Internet-based monitoring system and it was good for patient satisfaction and adherence.

Abstract
Carbohydrate (Carb) counting is a meal planning approach for patients with diabetes mellitus that focuses on carbohydrate as the primary nutrient affecting postprandial glycemic response. The concept of carb counting is not new. In the early 1990's the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) used carb counting as one of its education tools. More recently, short acting insulin analogues and insulin pumps have made the role of carb counting important and popular. Carb counting can be used in conjunction with a meal plan to set carbohydrate targets at each meal and snack. It is also used, perhaps more commonly, to estimate carbohydrate intake and adjust insulin around mixed meals and snacks using insulin to carbohydrate ratio. This effectively addresses the variable eating habits of most children and adolescents. The method may be adapted for patients who use a conventional insulin regimen and may meet the needs of patients who use multiple daily injections (MDI) or an insulin pump. Carb counting can make food planning flexible and enjoyable for patients, and the meal planning approach is very important for the physical growth and psychological development of children with diabetes. This paper describes the importance of carb counting for childhood diabetes as well as some of the special aspects associated with it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence-based, structured education is recommended for all people with diabetes; tailored to meet their personal needs and learning styles. Adult courses exist in the UK but are of limited value for children. The aim of this study was to adapt the adult Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating (DAFNE) course to design a skills training course, for children aged 11-16 yr, focusing on self-management skills within an intensive insulin regime. To ensure that the course format meets the developmental, intellectual and social needs of children and adolescents and is delivered using educationally sound techniques. METHODS Relevant professionals and potential users of the course were involved in curriculum design and content in the following ways: (i) The views of 95 pediatric diabetes specialist nurses were sought through a postal survey; (ii) Focus group discussions were conducted with children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and their families to contribute to content and design; and (iii) Secondary school teachers worked with experienced pediatric diabetes staff advising on educational content and teaching format. RESULTS The developed curriculum uses a progressive modular-based structure to improve self-management in a variety of medical and social situations. It has clear learning objectives and is based on the format of UK schools curricula. Additional support is provided through dedicated parent sessions, involvement of friends and the provision of a school resource pack. CONCLUSION Collaborative working between health professionals, school teachers and families has resulted in an age-appropriate curriculum, which employs validated educational techniques. This will be refined following pilot courses before formal evaluation in a multicentre randomized controlled trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term effectiveness of the Internet-based glucose monitoring system (IBGMS) on glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled trial in 80 patients with type 2 diabetes for 30 months. The intervention group was treated with the IBGMS, while the control group made conventional office visits only. HbA1c (A1C) was performed at 3-month intervals. For measuring of the stability of glucose control, the SD value of A1C levels for each subject was used as the A1C fluctuation index (HFI). RESULTS The mean A1C and HFI were significantly lower in the intervention group (n = 40) than in the control group (n = 40). (A1C [mean +/- SD] 6.9 +/- 0.9 vs. 7.5 +/- 1.0%, P = 0.009; HFI 0.47 +/- 0.23 vs. 0.78 +/- 0.51, P = 0.001; intervention versus control groups, respectively). Patients in the intervention group with a basal A1C >or=7% (n = 27) had markedly lower A1C levels than corresponding patients in the control group during the first 3 months and maintained more stable levels throughout the study (P = 0.022). Control patients with a basal A1C <7% (n = 15) showed the characteristic bimodal distribution of A1C levels, whereas the A1C levels in the intervention group remained stable throughout the study with low HFI. CONCLUSIONS Long-term use of the IBGMS has proven to be superior to conventional diabetes care systems based on office visits for controlling blood glucose and achieving glucose stability.
