Objective: Hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Basal-bolus insulin therapy is the treatment of choice for most patients. The efficacy of an ultrarapid vs rapid-acting insulin in hospitalized patients with diabetes has not been evaluated.

Context: Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) companies are beginning to market these sensors to populations without diabetes, but the range of CGM values clinicians should expect to see for this population is unclear because there have been no large studies reporting these ranges.

Objective: To report the physiological range of continuous glucose monitor (CGM) time in range values observed across glycemic status, including individuals without diabetes, to serve as a reference for clinicians.

Design: The Framingham Heart Study, a prospective cohort study.

Optimizing postprandial glucose control in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is challenging. We hypothesized that in free-living individuals, meal composition (high and low glycemic index [HGI and LGI], high and low fat [HF and LF]) may impact insulin requirements. Adults ( = 25) with T1D using open-loop insulin and continuous glucose monitoring were provided a meal-tagging app and prepackaged meals with defined macronutrient content.

Background: Recent advancements in diabetes technology have significantly improved Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management, but disparities persist, particularly in the adoption of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems within minoritized communities. We aimed to improve patient access to AID system training and overcome clinical inertia to referral.

Methods: We report on a transformative program implemented at Boston Medical Center, the largest safety-net hospital in New England, aimed at reducing disparities in AID system utilization.

Individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) from medically underserved communities have poorer health outcomes. Efforts to improve outcomes include a focus on team-based care, activation of behavior change, and enhancing self-management skills and practices. Advanced diabetes technologies are part of the standard of care for adults with T1D.
