ABSTRACT
Diabetes has caused 5.1 million deaths, primarily from cardiovascular disease. Large clinical studies have proven the importance of intensive control of diabetes from diagnosis to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications of the disease in the long term. Diabetes education conducted by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists, and others is a necessary tool to ensure effective behavioral change and help overcome the obstacles that may hinder self care. Several studies have been analyzed in this review, in which we find a variety of results. Diabetes education has proven to be essential to patient compliance with their T2DM treatment; the main objective is to prevent acute and chronic complications, especially cardiovascular ones, which are the main causes of mortality.

A one-pot reaction between equimolecular amounts of various propargyl alcohols, Michael acceptors, and unsaturated halides (or triflates) in the presence of a palladium(0) catalyst provides a simple and flexible entry into highly substituted 3-arylidene-(or 3-alkenylidene-)tetrahydrofurans. The efficiency of this palladium-mediated three-component reaction has been shown to be strongly influenced by the nature of the catalyst system, and in this regard, a palladium(0) catalyst generated in situ by reduction of PdCl2(PPh3)2 with n-butyllithium has been found particularly effective.
