Article Synopsis
- Postprandial hypoglycaemia (PPHG) is a common complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in individuals with a history of type 2 diabetes, often occurring without symptoms.
- A study of 24 patients showed that PPHG results from an excessive clearance of glucose and hyperinsulinaemia, linked to higher insulin sensitivity and enhanced beta cell function.
- Those experiencing PPHG had poor hormonal responses to low blood sugar, leading to more frequent and prolonged hypoglycaemia, which affected their eating habits over time.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how fluctuations in heart rate (HR) over a 24-hour period relate to microvascular disease and survival in diabetes patients.
- It involved a cohort of 349 adults with diabetes, examining those with low HR fluctuations and reduced nighttime HR dip, highlighting their connection to worse cardiovascular health outcomes.
- The findings suggest that impaired HR patterns are linked to higher risks of cardiovascular and overall mortality, indicating that HR monitoring could help assess risk in diabetic patients.
Aims/hypothesis: Early time-restricted carbohydrate consumption (eTRC) is a novel dietary strategy that involves restricting carbohydrate-rich food intake to the morning and early afternoon to align with circadian variations in glucose tolerance. We examined the efficacy, feasibility and safety of eTRC in individuals with type 2 diabetes under free-living conditions.
Methods: In this randomised, parallel-arm, open label, controlled trial, participants with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity (age 67.
