Introduction: Optimal basal insulin titration for people with type 2 diabetes is vital to effectively reducing the risk of complications. However, a sizeable proportion of people (30-50 %) remain in suboptimal glycemic control six months post-initiation of basal insulin. This indicates a clear need for novel titration methods that account for individual patient variability in real-world settings.

Background: Prediction algorithms may improve the ability of telehealth solutions to assess the risk of future exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Learning from patients' and clinicians' evaluations and experiences about the use of such algorithms is essential to evaluate its potential and examine factors that could potentially influence the implementation and sustained use.

Objective: To investigate the patients' and clinicians' perceptions and satisfaction with an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background: The study aimed to determine the relationship between basal insulin adherence and glycemic control evaluated by time in range (TIR) in people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D), using data from both continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and connected insulin pens. Furthermore, the study aimed to determine the best basal insulin adherence metric.

Methods: CGM data and basal insulin data were collected from 106 insulin-treated people (aged ≥18 years) with T2D.

Background: Diabetes affects 10.5% of adults globally, with type 2 diabetes accounting for 90-95% of cases. Achieving optimal glycemic control is crucial yet challenging, particularly with insulin therapy, where 30-50% of patients fail to meet treatment targets.

Background: Digital health lifestyle interventions (DHLI) may offer scalable solutions to manage prediabetes in clinical practice; however, their effectiveness on people with prediabetes has not been systematically investigated and reviewed. Hence, in this systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression the effectiveness of DHLI on prediabetes-related outcomes was investigated.

Methods: Four databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the effectiveness of DHLI on adults with prediabetes published before 23 February 2024.
