Assessing satisfaction, quality of life, and HbA1c changes in type 1 diabetes patients who are using freestyle libre glucose monitoring.

Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic auto-immune disease in which loss of pancreatic islet β-cells leads to the deficiency of insulin in the body thus resulting in enhanced blood sugar levels. Effective blood glucose monitoring is crucial in T1DM management to prevent complications, particularly hypoglycemia.

Method: The study adopted a cross-sectional survey to assess satisfaction and quality of life among T1DM patients using the freestyle libre continuous glucose monitoring (FSL-CGM), and a retrospective cohort study design to evaluate changes in HbA1c over a year.

The effect of depth of cure on microhardness between bulk-fill and hybrid composite resin material.

Background: Functional properties should be considered when selecting composites for restorations. With bulk-fill resin composites, the disadvantages of conventional composites were overcome regarding the increments necessitating the application of a 2 mm thick layer of resin and the amount of polymerization. The most significant advantage of bulk-fill resin composite is the possibility of applying the material in 4 mm layers.
