Considerations for Transgender People With Diabetes.

This article offers clinicians resources and an overview for supporting gender-diverse individuals with diabetes. Creating a supportive office environment is crucial to providing optimal diabetes care for patients who identify as transgender.

Hybrid Closed-Loop Control Is Safe and Effective for People with Type 1 Diabetes Who Are at Moderate to High Risk for Hypoglycemia.

Typically, closed-loop control (CLC) studies excluded patients with significant hypoglycemia. We evaluated the effectiveness of hybrid CLC (HCLC) versus sensor-augmented pump (SAP) in reducing hypoglycemia in this high-risk population. Forty-four subjects with type 1 diabetes, 25 women, 37 ± 2 years old, HbA1c 7.

Light-Induced Deformation of Azobenzene-Containing Colloidal Spheres: Calculation and Measurement of Opto-Mechanical Stresses.

We report on light-induced deformation of colloidal spheres consisting of azobenzene-containing polymers. The colloids of the size between 60 nm and 2 μm in diameter were drop casted on a glass surface and irradiated with linearly polarized light. It was found that colloidal particles can be deformed up to ca.

Motion of Adsorbed Nano-Particles on Azobenzene Containing Polymer Films.

We demonstrate in situ recorded motion of nano-objects adsorbed on a photosensitive polymer film. The motion is induced by a mass transport of the underlying photoresponsive polymer material occurring during irradiation with interference pattern. The polymer film contains azobenzene molecules that undergo reversible photoisomerization reaction from - to -conformation.
