The Effect of Do-It-Yourself Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring on Glycemic Variables and Participant-Reported Outcomes in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Crossover Trial.

Aim: Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) has several advantages over intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) but generally comes at a higher cost. Do-it-yourself rtCGM (DIY-rtCGM) potentially has benefits similar to those of rtCGM. This study compared outcomes in adults with type 1 diabetes using DIY-rtCGM versus isCGM.

The neuro-cardio-endocrine response to acute subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Objective: Whereas cardiac hormones increase after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), and may contribute to sodium wastage and hyponatraemia, there is controversy concerning the relative roles of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) vs. brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the factors initiating their secretion. Noting previous work linking stress hormone responses with cardiac injury after SAH, we have studied responses in stress hormones, markers of cardiac injury and the temporal changes in ANP and BNP and related them to changes in sodium status post ictus and during recovery from acute SAH.
