Background: Inpatient use of insulin pump therapy has been increasing due to greater availability of this technology, however there is a paucity of research that investigates glycemic control of inpatient insulin pump users.
Objective: To compare the glycemic control of hospitalized patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who used insulin pump vs. multiple daily injections (MDI).
Background: Studies in populations with type 1 diabetes highlight racial/ethnic disparities in the use of diabetes technology; however, little is known about disparities among those with type 2 diabetes. This project investigates the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in diabetes technology awareness and use in adults with type 2 diabetes in the ambulatory setting.
Methods: Adults ≥40 years of age with type 2 diabetes in ambulatory care were invited to participate via an e-mail link to a de-identified REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) questionnaire.
The increasing prevalence of severe obesity is a major public health concern. Bariatric surgery is an important treatment option for severe obesity due to its long-term sustained result. Multiple studies have shown that patients have an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease following bariatric surgery.

A rare but serious side effect of SGLT-2i is euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (euDKA), which usually occurs in the setting of acute illness such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We report a distinctive case of a patient with hyperlipidemia and T2D on SGLT-2i therapy who presented with hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HTGP) concurrently with euDKA and COVID-19.
