  • Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of severe respiratory diseases like influenza and COVID-19, primarily due to glycemic variability rather than average blood glucose levels.
  • A study used blood samples and continuous glucose monitoring from individuals with type 1 diabetes to examine how glycemic variability affects T cell responses to influenza.
  • Higher glycemic variability was linked to a decreased proportion of specific T cells responding to the influenza virus, indicating the importance of monitoring glycemic variability for understanding immune responses in diabetic individuals.
