Background: Patients with type 1 diabetes (DM1), even in the setting of adequate glycaemic control, have an excess risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Residual insulin secretion (RIS), measured by detectable C-peptide levels in patients with DM1, might protect against diabetes-related complications. This study aimed to examine the relationship between residual insulin secretion and prognostic markers of cardiovascular complications in patients with DM1.

Methods: In total, 2848 men and women from families at risk of the development of diabetes were recruited. Participants were classified as obese or non-obese and metabolic health was defined using five existing definitions.
Article Synopsis
- Community- and school-based lifestyle interventions are effective in preventing type 2 diabetes but many participants drop out of follow-ups, prompting an investigation into what influences ongoing participation in a European study.
- The study analyzed the impact of socioeconomic, sociodemographic, and clinical factors on 2,702 participants from six different countries, identifying significant differences related to gender, education, employment, BMI, and blood pressure.
- Findings indicated that higher education and employment levels were linked to lower drop-out rates, particularly in high-income countries, while female participants in low-to-middle-income countries showed better retention; overall, demographics and BMI were crucial for understanding participant engagement in these programs.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and incidence of medication-treated diabetes mellitus and the evolving patterns of glucose-lowering treatments the year before and during the first two years of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Methods: Data from the Greek electronic prescription database were analyzed for 2019, 2020, and 2021. The study population included individuals with active social security numbers.
The objective of this study was to investigate how the availability of food in the household environment is associated with a daily intake of regular and diet soft drinks in European children, considering BMI status. This cross-sectional study utilised baseline data from 12 211 schoolchildren participating in the Feel4Diabetes European lifestyle modification intervention. Sociodemographics, soft drink intake and household food availability data were collected using parent-completed questionnaires.
