Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Objective: Women who develop GDM present a metabolic condition similar to that found in type 2 diabetes, characterized by impaired insulin response. Due to similar pathophysiologic mechanisms found between type 2DM and GDM, there is a great interest in finding markers that will lead to the understanding of a possible common origin to both diseases. The aim of this study was to determine serum FGF21 levels in 2DM and GDM and its correlation with selected metabolic parameters.

Mutation search within monogenic diabetes genes in Polish patients with long-term type 1 diabetes and preserved kidney function.

Introduction: Some patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) are free from advanced complications despite long‑standing disease. These patients may be carriers of gene mutations responsible for maturity‑onset diabetes of the young and may have been misdiagnosed with T1DM.

Objectives: We aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of patients with long‑term T1DM, without advanced microvascular complications, and with well‑preserved kidney function.

Risk of macrosomia remains glucose-dependent in a cohort of women with pregestational type 1 diabetes and good glycemic control.

Macrosomia risk remains high in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) complicated pregnancies. A linear relationship between macrosomia risk and glycated hemoglobin A (HbA) was described; however, low range of HbA has not been studied. We aimed to identify risk factors and examine the impact of HbA on the occurrence of macrosomia in newborns of T1DM women from a cohort with good glycemic control.

Changes in preconception treatment and glycemic control in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a 15‑year single‑center follow‑up.

INTRODUCTION    Pregnancy in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with higher risk of complications. Strict glycemic control before conception reduces the risk of unfavorable outcomes. OBJECTIVES    The aim of the study was to assess changes in clinical characteristics, preconception treatment, and glycemic control of women with T1DM at the first antinatal visit.

Are late-night eating habits and sleep duration associated with glycemic control in adult type 1 diabetes patients treated with insulin pumps?

Aims/introduction: Little is known about the impact of sleep duration and late-night snacking on glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes using insulin pumps. The aim of the present study was to examine whether late-night eating habits and short sleep duration are associated with glycemic control in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion-treated type 1 diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: We included 148 consecutive adult type 1 diabetic subjects using an insulin pump (100 women and 48 men).
