Background: Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during pregnancy is an unusual condition, but it can occur with normal or modest elevations in blood glucose levels. It is usually a complication of type I diabetes.

Cases: We report two cases of euglycemic DKA, in type II diabetes mellitus and in gestational diabetes. Both patients showed blood glucose levels up to 9 mmoL/L (164 mg/dL), ketonuria and metabolic acidosis. They responded to initiation of correct insulin dosages.

Conclusion: Euglycemic DKA in pregnancy may occur with type II diabetes or in gestational diabetes and requires prompt recognition and treatment.

Introduction: This analysis aimed to investigate diabetes-specific psychological outcomes among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using hybrid closed-loop (HCL) versus standard therapy.

Research Design And Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel-group clinical trial, adults with T1D were allocated to 26 weeks of HCL (MiniMed™ 670G) or standard therapy (insulin pump or multiple daily injections without real-time continuous glucose monitoring). Psychological outcomes (awareness and fear of hypoglycemia; and diabetes-specific positive well-being, diabetes distress, diabetes treatment satisfaction, and diabetes-specific quality of life (QoL)) were measured at enrollment, mid-trial and end-trial.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the possible bidirectional interrelations between fructose-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) and apical periodontitis (AP).

Methodology: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 7, per group): Control (C), AP, Fructose Consumption (FRUT) and Fructose Consumption and AP (FRUT+AP). The rats in groups C and AP received filtered water, while those in groups FRUT and FRUT+AP received a 20% fructose solution mixed with water to induce MS.
