Is there a target value for time in tight range for individuals with type 1 diabetes on MDI? Data from masked CGM.

Objective: Time in Tight Range (TITR), defined as the percentage of time within the glucose range of 70 to 140 mg/dL, is anticipated to be challenging to maintain without causing hypoglycemia, especially in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study aimed to investigate the TITR target value in individuals with T1D on multiple daily injections (MDI).

Methods: The study included 101 individuals with T1D on MDI aged 15 to 75 who were hospitalized at Jikei University School of Medicine from September 2006 to November 2013 to conduct Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM).

Necroptosis of neuronal cells is related to the neuropathology of tick-borne encephalitis.

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic virus that causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in humans. Infections of Sapporo-17-Io1 (Sapporo) and Oshima 5-10 (Oshima) TBEV strains showed different pathogenic effects in mice. However, the differences between the two strains are unknown.

Which is better, high-dose metformin monotherapy or low-dose metformin/linagliptin combination therapy, in improving glycemic variability in type 2 diabetes patients with insufficient glycemic control despite low-dose metformin monotherapy? A randomized, cross-over, continuous glucose monitoring-based pilot study.

Aims/introduction: The present study investigated the effect of high-dose metformin or low-dose metformin/linagliptin combination therapy on glycemic variability (GV) in type 2 diabetes patients with insufficient glycemic control despite low-dose metformin monotherapy in a cross-over study using continuous glucose monitoring.

Materials And Methods: The present study was carried out with 11 type 2 diabetes outpatients (7% < glycated hemoglobin < 10%) receiving low-dose metformin monotherapy (500-1,000 mg). All patients were assigned to either metformin 1,500 mg monotherapy (HMET) or combination therapy of low-dose (750 mg) metformin and linagliptin 5 mg (LMET + dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP4]).

Low sense of coherence is associated with anxiety among adults: Results based on data from all 47 prefectures of Japan.

Background: Anxiety disorder is a major societal, economic, and healthcare burden, so it is essential to identify underlying risk factors. Sense of coherence (SOC), defined as an individual's perceived ability to control events and cope with challenges, is strongly associated with healthcare outcomes.

Methods: This study investigated the association between SOC and anxiety among adults in all 47 prefectures of Japan using a cross-sectional online panel survey.
