Carbohydrate counting as a strategy to optimize glycemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: The objective of this study was to verify the impact of carbohydrate counting (CC) on glycemic control and body weight variation (primary and secondary outcomes, respectively) between consultations in patients with diabetes mellitus (T1D) followed at a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil in a public health system environment. We also sought to investigate CC adherence.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 232 patients with T1D who underwent nutritional monitoring at a referral hospital for diabetes care between 2014 and 2018.

Different Dietary Patterns and New-Onset Diabetes Mellitus After Kidney Transplantation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: To verify the association of dietary patterns and dietary components with new-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation (NODAT).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Subjects: Adult kidney transplant recipients, without history of diabetes before transplantation, who received a kidney transplant and were followed up for at least 1 year.

Association between 276G/T adiponectin gene polymorphism and new-onset diabetes after kidney transplantation.

Background: New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is a well-recognized complication of kidney transplantation and is associated with poor outcomes. Both adiponectin and chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) proteins are related to glucose metabolism and genetic variations in their genes can lead to development of NODAT. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of adiponectin and CCL5 genes polymorphisms with NODAT in a population of Caucasian kidney transplant recipients.
