The prevalence of overweight and obesity increases in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the impact of fat accumulation on glucose dynamics in T1D is poorly understood. We assessed continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters in patients with T1D depending on their body weight, body composition, and insulin sensitivity.

In this study, we assessed urinary excretion of alpha-actinin-4 (ACTN-4), a cytoskeleton protein and a component of the slit diaphragm, and tight junction protein 1 (TJP-1, or ZO-1), a peripheral membrane protein that forms molecular complexes with actin filaments, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and albuminuric or non-albuminuric chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study included 140 patients with long-term T2D (≥10 years) and 20 healthy subjects as control.

In this study, we developed machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to predict nocturnal glucose within the target range (3.9-10 mmol/L), above the target range, and below the target range in subjects with T1D managed with MDIs.

In this study, we assessed urinary excretion of molecular regulators of these processes that mediate their effects via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in subjects with long-term type 2 diabetes (T2D) and different patterns of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We included 140 patients with T2D and 20 non-diabetic individuals in a cross-sectional study.
