Abstract Happiness and hope are essential parts of human health. One of the main purposes of health care, including diabetes care, are to achieve happiness and a sense of purpose in life. Material and methodDuring educational workshops a short survey concerning the level of happiness and hope for success in the group of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients was carried out. 120 patients anonymously filled in Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) and a Hope for Success Questionnaire (KNS).Results and conclusionsThe level of subjective happiness in T1DM patients was lower than in general population for both sexes, for all age categories apart from people older than 50, who seem to be happy and satisfied with their life with no differences compared to the general population. In terms of hope for success, T1DM teenagers and adults aged 27-50 did not differ from the general population. T1DM patients older than 50 turned out to have higher hope for success in life that other T1DM patients. Special attention should be paid to patients in young adulthood (18-26), who seem to be the most pessimistic group of T1DM patients, with low self-esteem and low believe in their possibilities.

Maternal enterovirus infections during pregnancy may increase the risk of offspring developing type 1 diabetes during childhood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether gestational enterovirus infections increase the offspring's risk of type 1 diabetes later in life. Serum samples from 30 mothers without diabetes whose offspring developed type 1 diabetes between 15 and 25 years of age were analyzed for enterovirus-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies and enterovirus genome (RNA), and compared to a control group. Among the index mothers, 9/30 (30%) were enterovirus IgM-positive, and none was positive for enterovirus RNA. In the control group, 14/90 (16%) were enterovirus IgM-positive, and 4/90 (4%) were positive for enterovirus RNA (n.s.). Boys of enterovirus IgM-positive mothers had approximately 5 times greater risk of developing diabetes (OR 4.63; 95% CI 1.22–17.6), as compared to boys of IgM-negative mothers (P<.025). These results suggest that gestational enterovirus infections may be related to the risk of offspring developing type 1 diabetes in adolescence and young adulthood.

The Impact

<b>Objective: </b>We compared the uptake of telemedicine for diabetes care across multiple demographic groups during the COVID-19 pandemic to understand the impact of telemedicine adoption on access to care. <p><b>Research Design and Methods:</b> The study analyzed demographic information of patients with type 1 diabetes seen between 1/1/2018 and 6/30/2020 at a single center. We compared the odds of completing a visit via telemedicine across multiple demographic characteristics.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>Among 28,977 patient-visits, the odds of completing a visit via telemedicine were lower among non-English-speaking (1.7% vs. 2.7%, aOR:0.45, 95% CI:0.26-0.79) and Medicaid-insured (32.0% vs. 35.9%, aOR:0.83, 95% CI:0.72-0.95) pediatric patients. No clinically significant differences were observed for other demographic factors.</p> <p><b>Conclusions: </b>Rapid transition to telemedicine did not significantly impact access to diabetes care for most demographic groups. However, disparities in access to care for historically marginalized groups merit close attention to ensure use of telemedicine does not exacerbate these inequities.</p>

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Children with diabetes type 1 (T1DM) need close monitoring for their blood glucose, food intake, insulin therapy and physical activity during school hours in order to guard against the development of acute and long-term complications.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To evaluate the current situation of management of T1DM in primary and intermediate schools children through assessment of the working staffs' attitude, knowledge and practice at Al-Jouf, Saudi Arabia. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled consented voluntarily participating working staffs from primary and intermediate schools in Al-Jouf region, Saudia Arabia. A questionnaire (included 23 questions) testing knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding T1DM and care of diabetic children was used.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> 744 teachers were studied (62.1% females) where58.1%of them were working in primary schools. Of all, 69% were class teachers, 20.4% administrators, 8.6% school counselors, and 2% physical education teachers.75.4% of the participants had adequate general knowledge about diabetes. Only 43.78% of the respondents had specific knowledge about diabetes in the school and teachers with a family diabetic patient showed higher knowledge about diabetes vs. their counterparts. Only 16.0%of the participants reported that their schools have trained personnel in diabetes. Large proportion of study teachers' (94%) was willing to join a training program for care of diabetic students. Of the total group of teachers, 665 support recruitment of a school nurse. <strong></strong></p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Diabetes care training programs for school teachers and staffs, availability of school nurses and instigating collaboration between the diabetic center and the school is essential for safety of such diabetes student patients in the schools.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Type 1 Diabetes mellitus, School teachers, Training programs, Diabetes care, Knowledge about diabetes, School nurse, Diabetes care at the school.</p>
