Letter from the Editor

When it comes to eating and diabetes, there seem to be a million strategies. These ideas include: early breakfast, late breakfast, no breakfast, keto breakfast, Mediterranean lunch, and so many more. These ideas are usually based on a small number of patients who are overly zealous in their behavior.

This week our intern, Andy Dao, PharmD Candidate, University of South Florida Taneja College of Pharmacy, went on a search for something that was a little more scientific than anecdotal, to see if shifting meal times or products could really make a difference.

His feature delivers some of the best and most accurate info as to how regimented eating times can help our patients.

Lipodystrophy, a Common Risk in Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Patients with lipodystrophy have a high risk of diabetic foot ulcers, especially in the younger population.

Effects of Earlier Dinner Times on Glycemic Control
A recent study showed that it might be a good idea to start eating dinner earlier in the day to help keep those blood glucose levels in control.

Using Dapagliflozin for Reduction in Adverse Renal and CV Outcomes
Patients had significant reduction in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in the first six months of using dapagliflozin.

Correlation Between Metformin Therapy and Lack of Vitamin B12 In Patients With T2D
Metformin can bring on vitamin B12 deficiency by lowering vitamin B12 absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
