Aanstoot, HJ, et al. “Global Burden of Youth diabetes: Perspectives and Potential.” Pediatric Diabetes 8 (2007): 1-44. Web. 9 Dec. 2009. .

This article talks about primary prevention of type 2 diabetes and how it is essential in the act of reducing obesity and the number of people at risk for type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, which was once only seen in adults, now affects some obese children even before puberty. This article shows how primary prevention is important in the case of children by promoting good nutrition, healthy active lifestyles, and providing support for physical exercise in schools. Their were several authors of this article. Starting with Henk-Jan Aanstoot an expert on diabetes from the Centre for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes Care and Research in Rotterdam and The Netherlands. Barbara J. Anderson from the Diabetes Care Centre @ Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston,Texas, Denis Daneman from The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada.

Brod, Meryl, et al. “Understanding and assessing the impact of treatment in diabetes: The Treatment-Related Impact Measures for Diabetes and Devices (TRIM-Diabetes and TRIM-Diabetes Device).” Health and Quality of Life Outcomes 7 (Sept. 2009): 83. Web. 9 Dec. 2009. .

This article researches an option in the management of diabetes called TRIM Diabetes/Device. The development of the item content for the TRIM Diabetes Device began in 2002 with the development of the TRIAD Measures (The Diabetes Symptom Measure (DSM), Diabetes Productivity Measure (DPM) and the Diabetes Medication Satisfaction Measure (DiabMedSat)) for oral agents and injectable treatments (syringe and pen) for type 1 and 2 diabetes [2]. It is recommended because the TRIM-Diabetes and the TRIM-Diabetes Device have been found (in this research study) to have acceptable psychometric properties and can be considered well-developed and validated PRO measures (patient reported outcome). Treatment and device-specific measures, such as these TRIM measures, should have greater face validity, be more responsive to change over time, and may be more useful to both clinicians and researchers to assess the impact of diabetes treatment. This comprehensive understanding of impacts should provide valuable insight to health care professionals and facilitate physician-patient interactions, improve adherence and persistence of treatments, and lead to management plans tailored to the individual.
