Preconception Perceptions, Knowledge and Behaviours of Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Qualitative Study
BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications. While considerable attention has been paid to the management of GDM during pregnancy, women's perceptions of GDM, knowledge of associated risk factors and health behaviours before and between pregnancies are less well understood, despite their importance for informing diabetes prevention programmes. AIMS/OBJECTIVES: To explore women's knowledge of G…
The (un)controlled body: A grounded theory analysis to conceptualise stigma for women with gestational diabetes mellitus
Health-related stigma is associated with adverse outcomes including depression, stress and reduced engagement in health behaviours which are particularly harmful in pregnancy and the postpartum. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) report negative psychosocial experiences and may be at risk of stigma related to the condition. We aimed to understand women's experiences of GDM-specific stigma. Individual interviews were conducted with n =…
I Haven't Told Anyone but You: Experiences and Biopsychosocial Support Needs of People With Type 2 Diabetes and Binge Eating
Up to 25% of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) may binge eat which is almost 10 times as many as in the general population. Binge eating is associated with depression, anxiety, and social isolation. Moreover, binge eating may increase the risk of obesity and high blood glucose levels, both of which can accelerate the onset of complications to diabetes and death in people with T2D. Still, little is known about the experiences, needs, and preferenc…
Gestational diabetes mellitus and its impact on the mother-infant relationship: A cohort study in the postnatal period
Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk of poor perinatal mental health outcomes. However, the association between GDM and the mother-infant relationship is unclear. This study aimed to examine whether GDM itself impacts the mother-infant relationship and maternal mental health using a cohort study design. We used data from the Cohort of Newborns in Emilia-Romagna (CoNER) study, which included 642 women recruited in B…
Identifying the contribution of technology innovation in driving sustainability in higher educational institutions through political influence, performance-based budgeting, organizational culture
In the current situation where organisations in general and educational institutions in particular, are achieving economic benefits at the cost of the environment, there is a need to have innovations to a substantial extent that can reduce environmental pollution and improve the economic benefits. The current study is an attempt to identify the potential contribution of technology innovation in driving sustainability, especially when it is powere…
Sitagliptin for Depressive Symptoms in Type 2 Diabetes: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
OBJECTIVE: We tested the feasibility of using sitagliptin-a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitor-for depressive symptoms in type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: In a feasibility, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, we recruited people aged 18 to 75 years with T2D (glycated hemoglobin A1c levels ≥53 and ≤86 mmol/mol prescribed oral hypoglycemic therapy) and comorbid depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥10) from family practice…
A Protocol of Process Evaluations of Interventions for the Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes in Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review
Genetic Overlap Between Type 2 Diabetes and Depression in a Sri Lankan Population Twin Sample
OBJECTIVE: Results from twin studies examining the genetic overlap between type 2 diabetes and depression are currently inconclusive. This question has not been addressed in non-Western populations. We aimed to examine whether there are common genetic factors between type 2 diabetes and depression in a Sri Lankan population using genetic model-fitting analysis. METHOD: The Colombo Twin and Singleton Study-Phase 2 consists of 2019 singletons, and …
The Association Between Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Glycemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Exploring healthcare professionals' perspectives of barriers and facilitators to supporting people with severe mental illness and Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Individuals with comorbid severe mental illness (SMI) and diabetes experience an average mortality gap of 20 years compared to individuals without these conditions. There has been some recognition by policies that there is a gap between mental healthcare and physical healthcare for SMI patients. Despite this, there are still no defined care pathways for individuals with SMI and diabetes. The aim of this study was to explore healthcare professiona…
The Colombo Twin and Singleton Follow-up Study: A population based twin study of psychiatric disorders and metabolic syndrome in Sri Lanka
MetS was highly prevalent in twins, and especially high in singletons, whereas the prevalence of mental disorders was low, but consistent with local estimates. The high levels of raised fasting plasma glucose and central obesity were particularly concerning, and warrant national diabetes prevention programmes

The link between depression and diabetes: The search for shared mechanisms
Perceptions Among Women With Gestational Diabetes
Women with gestational diabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, which could be prevented or delayed by lifestyle modification. Lifestyle interventions need to take into account the specific situation of women with gestational diabetes. We aimed to gain a deeper understanding of women's experiences of gestational diabetes, their diabetes risk perceptions, and their views on type 2 diabetes prevention, to inform future lifestyle int…
Comparison of Depressive Symptoms in Type 2 Diabetes Using a Two-Stage Survey Design
OBJECTIVE: To test the validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in adults with newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and compare the distribution of PHQ-9 items in those with and without Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) depression. METHODS: A two-stage survey design was used in primary care centers (n = 96). In Stage 1, participants were administered the PHQ-9 and biopsychosoci…
Do the Effects of Psychological Treatments on Improving Glycemic Control in Type 1 Diabetes Persist Over Time? A Long-Term Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial
OBJECTIVES: In a randomized controlled trial, adults with Type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control who received motivational enhancement therapy (MET) plus cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) had a greater reduction in their 12-month hemoglobin A(1c) (Hb(A1c)) than those who received usual care (UC). We tested whether improvements in glycemic control persisted up to 4 years after randomization. METHODS: In the original trial, participants w…
Diabetes, Common Mental Disorders, and Disability: Findings From the UK National Psychiatric Morbidity Survey
Objectives: To determine a) the associations between diabetes and common mental disorders in a nationally representative sample and the effect of key covariates on such associations and b) the association of comorbid common mental disorders on the quality of life and diabetes self-care indicators. Methods: In a cross-sectional survey, people with diabetes were identified from a sample of 8580 individuals aged 16 to 74 years, drawn from the 2000 U…
Occupational risk factors for ill health in Gulf veterans of the United Kingdom
OBJECTIVES: To study the association between occupational factors specific to the Armed Forces (rank, functional roles, Service, regular or reservist status and deployment factors) and symptomatic health problems in Gulf veterans, after sociodemographic and lifestyle factors have been accounted for. DESIGN: A postal cross sectional survey of randomly selected UK Gulf veterans was conducted six to seven years after the Gulf conflict. Physical ill …
