Aims/introduction: This study examined the effects of high-intensity interval walking training (IWT) compared to moderate-intensity continuous walking training (CWT) on muscle strength, walking ability, and health-related quality of life (QOL) in people with diabetes accompanied by lower extremity weakness.
Materials And Methods: People with diabetes accompanied by low isometric knee extensor strength using a simple manual dynamometer (n = 50) were screened and randomly divided into 2 groups: CWT (n = 25) and IWT (n = 25). Both groups were instructed by a physical therapist to perform walking training with the goal of 120 min/week over a 5-month period.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed data from 93 participants with type 1 diabetes to explore how the frequency of scanning with intermittent-scanning continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) affects time in range (TIR), time above range (TAR), and time below range (TBR) throughout the day.
- Increased scanning frequency was linked to higher TIR, particularly in the afternoon, evening, and night, and was associated with lower TAR and TBR during these times.
- Psychological factors, such as concerns about blood glucose levels affecting social interactions and feelings of loneliness, were found to influence how often participants scanned their glucose levels.
Background: FreeStyle Libre uses the algorithm to calculate the sensor glucose (SG) levels. The manufacturer announced that they had changed the algorithm from the first generation (Gen. 1) to the third generation (Gen.

- Hyperglycemia and hypertension are known risk factors for kidney glomerular injury in type 2 diabetes, but factors for kidney tubular injury are less understood.
- In a study of 1243 subjects, researchers identified four groups based on urinary biomarkers and found different risk factors for glomerular and tubular injuries.
- Key findings indicate that while hypertension contributes to glomerular injury, the Fibrosis-4 index is specifically linked to tubular injury, suggesting liver fibrosis is a concern for tubular health in these patients.
Aim: The Effect of Intermittent-Scanning Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Glycemic Control Including Hypoglycemia and Quality of Life of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (ISCHIA) study was a randomized, crossover trial that reported the decrease in time below range (TBR) by the use of intermittent-scanning continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) combined with structured education in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated by multiple daily injections. The participants were instructed to perform frequent scanning of the isCGM sensor (10 times a day or more) and ingest sugar when impending hypoglycemia is suspected by tracking the sensor glucose levels and the trend arrow. We conducted post-hoc analysis to identify factors affecting difference in TBR (∆TBR), in time in range (∆TIR), and in time above range (∆TAR).
