Prognostic value of creatinine-to-cystatin c ratio in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cohort study

Low muscle mass assessed by Scr/Scys was associated with increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality in diabetic patients (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)

A personalized multi-interventional approach focusing on customized nutrition, progressive fitness, and lifestyle modification resulted in the reduction of HbA1c, fasting blood sugar and weight in type 2 diabetes

The findings indicate that a comprehensive and multi-interventional diabetes care program involving personalized nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle modification such as SDRP, help in significant and sustained improvements in HbA1c level, glycaemic control, and weight loss in adults with type 2 diabetes (BMC Endocrine Disorders)

Screening all older adults aged 40-70 years would find undiagnosed type 2 diabetes cases at least two years earlier

Our study provides the first population-based estimate of the impact of HbA1c-based screening on reducing the time to diabetes diagnosis. In UK Biobank (Diabetologia )

The Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Our findings suggest that PLR may be an independent risk factor for evaluating DR in type 2 diabetes patients (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)

Development of a Measure to Assess Attitudes Towards Nasal versus Autoinjector Glucagon Delivery Devices for Treatment of Severe Hypoglycemia

This study supports the validity and reliability of the GDAQ, which successfully conceptualizes attitudes towards devices for administering glucagon among different respondent groups. Use of the GDAQ can help guide the development and testing of new glucagon drug/device combination (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)

Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disturbances in Diabetes: A Narrative Review

We concluded that sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances are closely linked with diabetes. More attention to sleep in regular diabetes care is warranted, while further research is needed on treatment of sleep and circadian rhythm disturbances in the prevention of diabetes and its suboptimal outcomes (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)

Attendance at pre-pregnancy care clinics for women with type 1 diabetes: a scoping review

This review highlights the ongoing problem of poor-attendance at PPC and identifies key barriers to be addressed when developing and implementing PPC programs for women with type 1 diabetes (Diabetic Medicine)

Protection against stroke with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists: a comprehensive review of potential mechanisms

The available evidence remains however insufficient to confirm whether other effects of GLP-1RAs such as direct cardioprotective actions (i.e., effects on atrial electrical remodeling, increased left ventricular ejection fraction, increased myocardial salvage, effects on cardiac oxidative metabolism) and effects on the microvascular function may mechanistically contribute to GLP-1RA-mediated protection against stroke (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
