CLC Articles for Evidence based project

Article 1:

Citation:

  • Chen, Y., Zhang, Y., Li, Y., & Liu, Y. (2022). Impact of a comprehensive diabetes education program on glycemic control in older adults with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PICO(T) Question: In older adults with type 2 diabetes, does a comprehensive diabetes education program compared to standard care improve glycemic control?

PICO(T) Question Summary:

  • Population (P): Older adults with Type 2 diabetes

  • Intervention (I): Comprehensive diabetes education program

  • Comparison (C): Standard care

  • Outcome (O): Improvement in glycemic control

  • Timeframe (T): Not specified (Assumed to be over the course of the program duration as reported in the study)

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of a comprehensive diabetes education program on glycemic control in older adults with Type 2 diabetes. The findings indicate that those who participated in the comprehensive education program experienced significant improvements in glycemic control compared to those who received standard care. The study highlights the importance of structured education in managing Type 2 diabetes in the elderly population.

Article 2:

  • Liu, J., Zhang, Y., & Liu, Y. (2022). Impact of Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Glycemic Control in Children with Type 1 Diabetes: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Pediatric Diabetes, 23(2), 216-227. https://doi.org/10.1111/pedi.13338

PICO(T) Question: In children with Type 1 Diabetes, does Continuous Glucose Monitoring compared to Traditional Glucose Monitoring improve glycemic control?

PICO(T) Question Summary:

  • Population (P): Children with Type 1 diabetes

  • Intervention (I): Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)

  • Comparison (C): Traditional blood glucose monitoring

  • Outcome (O): Improvement in glycemic control (measured by HbA1c levels)

  • Timeframe (T): 6 months

Summary: This meta-analysis examines the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on glycemic control in children with Type 1 diabetes. The results indicate that CGM significantly improves HbA1c levels compared to traditional blood glucose monitoring. The findings support the adoption of CGM in pediatric diabetes care as it enhances glycemic control, potentially reducing the risk of long-term complications.
