Article Synopsis
- Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a growing chronic condition that requires insulin for management to avoid complications, and diabetes-related technology helps improve patients' daily living.
- A study evaluated the Greek version of the Diabetes Impact and Device Satisfaction (DIDS) Scale, which measures how satisfied individuals are with their insulin delivery device and how diabetes affects their lives.
- Results showed that the scale is reliable and valid, identifying three key factors: Device Satisfaction, Diabetes Management Impact, and Device Usability, with positive correlations to diabetes quality of life metrics.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a combination of ten supplements, including PEA, SOD, ALA, and various vitamins and minerals, on individuals with Diabetic Neuropathy (DN) over six months.
- - Out of 73 participants, those receiving the active supplement showed significant improvements in pain levels, vitamin B12, and several nerve function indicators, while the placebo group did not experience any significant changes.
- - Results from the active group indicated a notable reduction in pain scores and improvements in various assessments (like the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument), while the placebo group showed a decline in certain metrics, underscoring the supplements' potential benefits.
Unlabelled: Introduction-Background: Data from experimental trials show that L. (saffron) is considered to improve glycemia, lipid profile, and blood pressure and reduce oxidative stress. So far, clinical trials have been conducted in individuals with metabolic syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DMT-2).

- Hyperglycemia following a stroke can worsen the condition, so effective glucose management is crucial for reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.
- The study monitored 105 acute stroke patients’ glucose levels continuously over 72 hours, identifying various hyperglycemic patterns primarily occurring during night and morning hours.
- Findings suggest that traditional glucose tests may miss these patterns, highlighting the need for more frequent nighttime measurements and suggesting that admission glucose levels could help predict future hyperglycemic tendencies.
Article Synopsis
- The Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project categorizes ischemic strokes into four types and links hyperglycemia to larger infarct sizes and poorer patient outcomes.
- The study aimed to explore the relationship between glucose fluctuations and stroke types/outcomes using continuous glucose monitoring over 72 hours among recent stroke patients.
- Results indicated that while stroke subtype did not significantly affect mean glucose levels, improving glucose regulation could reduce the odds of poor outcomes, suggesting that strict glucose management might be more effective than focusing on stroke types.
