Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adjuvant premeal pramlintide with postmeal insulin on postprandial hyperglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Methods: Eight adolescents with T1DM on intensive insulin therapy participated in an open-label, non-randomized, crossover study, comparing postprandial glucose excursions in study A (prescribed insulin regimen and given premeal) vs. study B (pramlintide + insulin). Prandial insulin dose for study B was decreased by 20% and given postmeal, while pramlintide was given just before the meal. Blood glucose (BG), glucagon, and pramlintide concentrations were measured basally and at timed intervals during a 300-min study period.

Results: Postprandial incremental BG for the duration of the study was reduced in study B vs. study A with AUC((-60 to 300 min)) (area under the curve) at 6600 +/- 2371 vs. 20 230 +/- 3126 mg/dL/min (367 +/- 132 vs. 1124 +/- 174 mmol/L/min) (p < 0.001). Glucagon concentration was suppressed for approximately 120 min following administration of 30 microg of pramlintide and postmeal insulin (p < 0.003). No severe hypoglycemic episodes were experienced in this study.

Conclusions: Postprandial hyperglycemia is considerably reduced in adolescents with T1DM when treated with fixed-dose premeal pramlintide, and precisely calculated postmeal insulin, without significant side effects.

Background: Endothelial dysfunction is recognized as an early modification involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. Evidence suggests that the Mediterranean Diet (MD) is associated with endothelial function improvement and, in turn, plays an important role in atherosclerosis development and progression.

Objectives: To evaluate both acute and sustained effects of the MD on endothelial function in patients with high cardiometabolic risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Consuming meals in a specific order—vegetables and protein first, followed by carbohydrates—significantly lowers post-meal glucose and insulin levels compared to a standard mixed meal.
  • In a study with 18 healthy adults, the "VPF" meal sequence resulted in a 40.9% lower glucose response and a 31.7% lower insulin response at 30 minutes post-meal.
  • Participants also reported feeling fuller after following the VPF sequence, suggesting that meal sequencing could be a practical approach to improve overall dietary patterns and potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Background: DLBS3233, recognized as an agent enhancing insulin sensitivity, has exhibited promise as a therapeutic option for addressing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of DLBS3233, a natural compound, in individuals newly diagnosed with T2DM.

Methods: A 12-week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted with 104 eligible participants.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to assess the reliability of a short food frequency questionnaire designed to evaluate dietary patterns associated with type 2 diabetes risk and to create a Diabetes Dietary Quality Index.
  • Healthy participants completed the questionnaire, and the results indicated good reproducibility, showing consistent correlation in responses.
  • Findings revealed that a higher Diabetes Dietary Quality Index score was linked to improved metabolic health, including lower post-meal glucose and insulin levels, as well as better cholesterol profiles.
