Interleukin-17A Enhances Axonal Regeneration and Mitochondrial Function of Sensory Neurons Derived from Control or Diabetic Rats

Abstract

Data from all adult IPT funding program applicants from September 1, 2008 to December 31, 2012 were linked to provincial administrative databases detailing all hospitalizations and physician service claims. There were 7220 adults who started IPT. At enrolment, the mean agewas 40.5 years, the mean A1C was 8.0%, 44.5% were male, 74.8% had T1DM duration 10 years, 75.0% had endocrinologist care and few had any diabetic ketoacidosis (2.4%) events the year prior. Of note, 49.1% were from the 2 highest socioeconomic groups. The frequency of health care utilization within 1 year preand post-funding program enrolment was compared (Table 1). Postenrolment, DM-related emergency roomvisits and family physician visits significantly decreased. Provincially funded IPT in adults with T1DMwas associated with positive changes in healthcare utilization, but therewas evidence of disparity in access to funding in those of lower income.
