Objective: Previous retrospective studies have established a relationship between postoperative hypoglycemia and adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, but none have accounted for the cause of hypoglycemia.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a single institution between 2016 and 2021. Patients were categorized as hypoglycemic if they had 1 or more postoperative blood glucose measurement less than 70 mg/dL and normoglycemic otherwise.

Diabetes in pregnancy increases risk for complications for the pregnant patient and neonate. Tight glycemic control to maintain glucose levels as close to non-diabetic ranges as possible can lower risk for these complications. Achieving strict glycemic targets can be challenging and technologies including continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin pumps have the potential to improve diabetes control and pregnancy outcomes.

Background: We evaluated the efficacy of structured individualized education combined with real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM, Dexcom G6) in improving glycemic outcomes in insulin-treated adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: This multicenter, 16-week, single-arm study included 66 adults with T2D (multiple daily insulin [MDI]: 33; basal insulin: 33) with a ≥7.8%.

Diabetic kidney disease is a leading cause of kidney failure worldwide and is easily detectable with screening examination. Diabetes causes hyperfiltration and activation of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system by hemodynamic changes within the nephron, which perpetuates damaging physiology. Diagnosis is often clinical after detection of heavy proteinuria in a patient with diabetes,but can be confirmed by observation of histologic stages on kidney biopsy.

Background: Insulin pumps coupled with continuous glucose monitoring sensors use algorithms to analyze real-time blood glucose levels. This allows for the suspension of insulin administration before hypoglycemic thresholds are reached or for adaptive tuning in hybrid closed-loop systems. This longitudinal retrospective study aims to analyze real-world glycemic outcomes in a pediatric population transitioning to such devices.
