Increasing evidence points to the importance of achieving low blood glucose variability and also a low hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) to prevent diabetic late complications. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is associated with lower blood glucose variability in children. Frequent indications for starting CSII in youth are recurrent hypoglycemia, need for increased flexibility, poor glycemic control, dawn phenomenon, or needle phobia. At our center, about one-third of all patients across all age groups are currently on CSII. Although the average glycemic control is not very different from those on multiple daily injections, fewer patients are seen in the segment of very high and very low HbA1c with CSII. Across centers, the 'recipes' tailoring CSII treatment to individual patients and cultures are based more on experience than on evidence. However, several typical pediatric features have been identified. Patterns of the hourly basal rate and prandial insulin requirements vary with age. While many adolescents have increased requirements at dawn and dusk, young children show increasing needs in the second half of the day. Low insulin requirements, particularly in neonates, may need insulin dilution. The selection of catheters and needles has to be appropriate for the age. The opportunity to have an electronic memory read-out of all entries and alarms offers new possibilities of therapeutic monitoring, particularly in those youth not keeping good logbooks. This feature can be helpful, if a trustful relationship between the diabetes team and the family is established.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality globally and affects more than 100 million people in the world's most populous country, India. Nutrition is a critical and evidence-based component of effective blood glucose control and most dietary advice emphasizes carbohydrate and calorie reduction. Emerging global evidence demonstrates marked interindividual differences in postprandial glucose response (PPGR) although no such data exists in India and previous studies have primarily evaluated PPGR variation in individuals without diabetes.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue, with approximately 70% of cases linked to modifiable risk factors. Digital health solutions offer potential for CVD prevention; yet, their effectiveness in covering the full range of prevention strategies is uncertain.
Objective: This study aimed to synthesize current literature on digital solutions for CVD prevention, identify the key components of effective digital interventions, and highlight critical research gaps to inform the development of sustainable strategies for CVD prevention.

Importance: Understanding the interplay between diabetes risk factors and diabetes development is important to develop individual, practice, and population-level prevention strategies.
Objective: To evaluate the progression from normal and impaired fasting glucose levels to diabetes among adults.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective community-based cohort study used data from the Rochester Epidemiology Project, in Olmsted County, Minnesota, on 44 992 individuals with at least 2 fasting plasma glucose (FPG) measurements from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2017.
Unlabelled: One of the principles of prevention and non-drug treatment of liver diseases, including hepatitis of various etiologies, is the normalization of the diet, including the use of daily diet foods with physiologically active ingredients, in particular betulin, which helps to reduce metabolic and oxidative processes within liver cells. The aim of the work was to evaluate the in vivo effect of triterpene alcohol betulin Roth isolated from the bark of birch Betula pendula Roth. added to fat-containing products (for example, mayonnaise) on the biochemical parameters of blood and the morphological structure of the liver of rats with initiated acute toxic hepatitis.
