Circadian abnormalities can adversely affect glucose metabolism. This study determined whether behavioral circadian parameters, as assessed by rest-activity rhythm, were predictors of glycemic control in patients with prediabetes. Seventy-nine patients with prediabetes participated.

Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak in Bangkok led to a shortage of hospital capacity, and a home isolation system was set up. We described the process of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) and glycemic management via telemedicine, along with outcomes in home-isolated patients with COVID-19 infection.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of glucose values, insulin and corticosteroids use, and outcomes was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Diacerein may improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes patients by reducing inflammation and enhancing insulin sensitivity, as demonstrated in a study involving 25 participants.
- After 12 weeks, the diacerein group showed a significant decrease in HbA1c levels compared to the placebo group, although fasting plasma glucose levels did not show a significant change.
- Metabolic profiling indicated a link between threo-isocitric acid levels and HbA1c response, suggesting potential metabolic factors influencing the effectiveness of diacerein in improving glycaemic control.
Objective: Bone health in older individuals with HIV infection has not been well studied. This study aimed to compare bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), and bone markers between HIV-infected men and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched HIV-uninfected men aged ≥60 years. We investigated the associations of risk factors related to fracture with BMD, TBS, and bone markers in HIV-infected men.

We conducted a randomised controlled trial to determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on serum uric acid concentration in patients with prediabetes, in whom hyperuricaemia is common.
Methods: Seventy-one volunteers (35-80 years), with impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance were randomised to three groups, vitamin D, vitamin D and control, and followed for 12 months.
