Investigating the relationship between inhibitory control and dietary adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on subjective and objective measures.

Background: Dietary management has been recommended as the cornerstone of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. However, low adherence to dietary recommendations has been identified in both developed and developing countries. Previous research suggests that inhibitory control influences eating behavior, but few studies have been conducted in patients with T2DM.

Background: In recent years, the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has dramatically increased, imposing a heavy financial burden on society and individuals. The most cost-effective way to control diabetes is diabetes self-management, which depends on patients' executive functions (EFs). However, the level of EFs among patients with T2DM varies greatly.

The relationship between psychosocial job stressors and insomnia: The mediating role of psychological capital.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the association of job-related stressors and insomnia; to determine the association of psychological capital and insomnia; and to explore whether psychological capital mediates the association between job-related stressors and insomnia among Chinese nurses.

Design: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey.

Methods: The STROBE statement was utilized to guide the study.

Latent profile analysis of security among patients with COVID-19 infection in mobile cabin hospitals and its relationship with psychological capital.

Aim: COVID-19 patients' security is related to their mental health. However, the classification of this group's sense of security is still unclear. The aim of our research is to clarify the subtypes of security of patients infected with COVID-19, explore the factors affecting profile membership, and examine the relationship between security and psychological capital for the purpose of providing a reference for improving patients' sense of security and mental health.

Social responsibility and subjective well-being of volunteers for COVID-19: The mediating role of job involvement.

Aim: Our study aimed to investigate the effect of social responsibility on the subjective well-being of volunteers for COVID-19 and to examine the mediating role of job involvement in this relationship.

Background: Nowadays, more and more people join volunteer service activities. As we all know, volunteer work contributes to society without any return.

Needle-free injection of basal insulin improves fasting glucose variability as assessed by continuous glucose monitoring in T2DM: a prospective randomized multicenter open-label crossover study.

Background: Fasting glucose variability (FGV) extensively promotes the onset and development of diabetic complications. This study aimed to evaluate the FGV in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients administered basal insulin using a needle-free insulin injector (NFII).

Research Design And Methods: This was a prospective randomized multicenter open-label crossover study.

The influence of hypoglycemia on the specific quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a comparative cross-sectional study of diabetics with and without hypoglycemia in Xi'an, China.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the incidence of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the influence of hypoglycemia on the specific quality of life in T2DM patients.

Methods: It was a comparative cross-sectional study consisting of 519 T2DM patients in Xi'an, China and patients were investigated by self-reported hypoglycemia and specific quality of life questionnaires from September 2019 to January 2020. Descriptive analysis, t-test, Chi-square test, hierarchical regression analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis were applied to assess the influence of hypoglycemia on the specific quality of life.

Disturbed neurovascular coupling in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: Evidence from a comprehensive fMRI analysis.

Background: Previous studies presumed that the disturbed neurovascular coupling to be a critical risk factor of cognitive impairments in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but distinct clinical manifestations were lacked. Consequently, we decided to investigate the neurovascular coupling in T2DM patients by exploring the MRI relationship between neuronal activity and the corresponding cerebral blood perfusion.

Methods: Degree centrality (DC) map and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) map were used to represent neuronal activity.

Influencing factors of glycemic variability in hospitalized type 2 diabetes patients with insulin therapy: A Strobe-compliant article.

Previous studies have shown that glucose fluctuation is closely related to oxidative stress and diabetic complications. However, only few studies have evaluated the influencing factors of glycemic variability (GV) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients so far.This was a cross-sectional study design.
