Time in range correlates glycated albumin measured immediately after 2 weeks of continuous glucose monitoring.

Aims: Time in range (TIR), an index of glycemic control and also blood glucose fluctuation, obtained from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), has been increasing its importance along with the spread of CGM in recent years. For a while, glycated albumin (GA) has been also used as a glycemic control index during about 2-weeks in routine clinical practice. It has not yet been confirmed under optimal condition whether TIR and GA correlates.

Clinical factors associated with the symptoms of constipation in patients with diabetes mellitus: A multicenter study.

Double-blind randomized clinical trial of the effects of ezetimibe on postprandial hyperlipidaemia and hyperglycaemia.

Aim: Ezetimibe selectively blocks intestinal cholesterol absorption by inhibiting Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and reducing LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). In animals, ezetimibe reversed diet-induced obesity, liver steatosis, and insulin resistance. In humans, its potential effects on liver steatosis and insulin resistance have been suggested.
