Aim: To elucidate the effects of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on body weight and ad libitum energy intake compared with non-UPFs.
Materials And Methods: In this randomized, open-label crossover study conducted at the University of Tokyo Hospital, overweight/obese Japanese male participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to start the study with consumption of either UPFs or non-UPFs for 1 week, followed by a 2-week washout period, before crossing over to the alternate food diet for 1 week. Individuals with diabetes, hypertension or any other medical conditions who visited a hospital regularly were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between self-stigma and HbA1c levels in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes, an area previously under-researched.
- Conducted in a Tokyo clinic, the study analyzed responses from 109 participants using a 9-item Self-Stigma Scale while controlling for various demographic and health factors.
- Results indicated a significant positive correlation between self-stigma and higher HbA1c levels, suggesting that addressing self-stigma is important for managing glycemic outcomes in these individuals.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on understanding the clinical features and use of sulfonylureas in diabetes patients aged 90 and older (nonagenarians) compared to younger patients.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 69 nonagenarians and 857 diabetic patients under 90, revealing that a higher percentage of nonagenarians were treated with sulfonylureas (45.5%) compared to younger groups (20-27.8%).
- Despite attempts to reduce sulfonylurea dosages due to potential hypoglycemia, many nonagenarians continued their treatment for blood sugar control, indicating a possible trend of clinical inertia among this age group.
Aims/introduction: The purpose of this retrospective observational cohort study was to compare outpatient diabetes care and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in 2020 with 2019, and to compare the glucose-lowering effect of telemedicine and clinic visits during the state of emergency in Japan declared from 7 April to 25 May (inter-period) 2020.
Materials And Methods: A total of 13 weeks before and after the inter-period were designated as the pre-period and post-period, respectively. The number of study participants who had clinic visits during the pre-period and the post-period were 3,333 in 2020 and 3,608 in 2019.
Rationale: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY 5) is a form of monogenic diabetes that is often accompanied by pancreatic dysfunction. To date, no cases of MODY 5 treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) have been reported. We present the first case of MODY 5 treated with GLP-1RA.
