Background: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the risk of hypoglycemia also occurs in at a time-in-range (TIR) of > 70%. The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) is considered the best single factor for predicting hypoglycemia, and offers new perspectives for the individualized treatment of patients with well-controlled blood glucose levels that are easily ignored in clinical settings.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between HGI and hypoglycemia and the implications of HGI on hypoglycemia in T2DM with TIR > 70%.

Purpose: To explore the relationship between glucose management indicator (GMI) and HbA1c and find the affecting factors in adult T2D patients with good glycemic control.

Methods: Adult T2D patients with both HbA1c < 7% and time in range (TIR) > 70% were retrospectively analyzed. A significant difference between GMI and HbA1c was defined as an absolute value of hemoglobin glycation index (|HGI|, HbA1c minus GMI) ≥ 0.

This meta-analysis aimed to compare the effect of the real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) and flash glucose monitoring (FGM) on glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). A systematic literature search of all relevant studies comparing the clinical effectiveness of rt-CGM and FGM in adults with T1DM on Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus from January 2015 to June 2023 was performed. The primary endpoints were glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and TIR (time in range).

Introduction: Do-it-yourself artificial pancreas system (DIY APS) is built using commercially available insulin pump, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and an open-source algorithm. Compared with commercial products, DIY systems are affordable, allow personalised settings and provide updated algorithms, making them a more promising therapy for most patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Many small and self-reported observational studies have found that their real-world use was associated with potential metabolic and psychological benefits.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zhigu Liu"

  • - Zhigu Liu's recent research focuses on improving glycemic control in type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients using advanced monitoring technologies and therapeutic systems, highlighting the importance of metrics like HbA1c and glucose management indicators.
  • - A systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by Liu indicates that real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) may offer superior glycemic control compared to flash glucose monitoring (FGM) in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
  • - Liu's exploration of a do-it-yourself artificial pancreas system (DIY APS) suggests that it could provide personalized and cost-effective diabetes management solutions, showing promise for better metabolic outcomes in type 1 diabetes patients in a home setting.
