The American Diabetes Association advises clinicians of the potential for insulin overbasalization in the management of type 2 diabetes. Described as the titration of basal insulin beyond an appropriate dose, overbasalization increases risks for adverse effects such as hypoglycemia and weight gain without achieving the glycemic targets needed to optimally manage the disease. There is a need to determine the prevalence of and clinical factors that can lead to overbasalization.

Although not unique, coastal systems are particularly prone to complex ecological interactions resulting from nutrient inputs from both the land and sea. Nutrient inputs to coastal systems often spur ulvoid macroalgal blooms, with negative consequences for seagrasses, primarily through shading, as well as through changes in local biogeochemistry.
