Mindful Eating and Current Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective Lifestyle adjustments are essential in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Mindful eating involves being more attentive to and aware of meals. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mindful eating and glycemic control, as well as body mass index (BMI), in people with T2DM.

The effect of close and intensive therapeutic monitoring of patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes with different glycemic background.

Patients with type 2 diabetes who have HbA1c values ≥ 10% have different previous glycemic trends, including new diagnosis of diabetes. We aimed to assess the efficacy of 3 months of intensive and facilitated antihyperglycemic treatment in patients with different glycemic backgrounds. In this observational study, patients with type 2 diabetes and poor glycemic control (indicated by an HbA1c level of > = 10%) were divided into groups based on their previous HbA1c levels (group 1; newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics, group 2; patients with previously controlled but now deteriorated HbA1c levels, group 3; patients whose HbA1c was not previously in the target range but was now above 10%, and group 4; patients whose HbA1c was above 10% from the start).

Changes in the clinical characteristics of chronic hepatitis B patients at the initiation of treatment over a 15-year period.

Background And Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the clinical characteristics of chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients at the initiation of treatment over a 15-years period.

Materials And Methods: The study included 659 treatment-naive CHB patients who started receiving nucleos(t)ide analogs between January 2006 and December 2020. The patients included in the study were divided into three groups of five years each, according to the start date of treatment.

C-peptide concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin.

Aims: To determine beta cell reserves of patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with insulin by using fasting C-peptide concentrations and to investigate the clinical features related to C-peptide concentrations.

Materials And Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes, who were using insulin as monotherapy or in combination therapy, were divided into three groups; those with an insufficient beta cell reserve (C-peptide: <0.5 ng/mL), borderline reserve (C-peptide: 0.
