Objective: The aim of this study was to assess if the A1c goals from the Brazilian Diabetes Society (SBD) were compatible with their goals for blood glucose.
Materials And Methods: An online simulation (AIDA) was used to simulate a hypothetical patient with blood glucose values similar to the SBD's goals. Average glucose was calculated from generated blood glucose values, and then converted to the corresponding A1c value, using the ADA online calculator. Other glycemic profiles, using different levels of blood glucose, were also simulated in order to assess which would be the A1c value associated with each profile.
Results: Glycemic goals proposed by the SBD (fasting glucose < 100 mg/dL, preprandial < 110 mg/dL, and postprandial < 140 mg/dL), were associated with an A1c of 5.9%, much lower than the goal of 7% recommended by the SBD. This demonstrates incompatibility among A1c and blood glucose goals proposed by the SBD. Such A1c levels are associated with increased mortality among high-risk patients.
Conclusions: Besides recommending different A1c goals for different patients, the SBD should probably review its recommendations and adopt different blood glucose goals that are compatible with the proposed A1c goals, making therapeutic targets clearer.

Background: Prevalence of metabolic disorders has been increased in recent years around the world. The relationship between Mediterranean diet (MD) with metabolic health status and serum adropin levels has been less examined in Iranian adults. We investigated the association between MD compliance with metabolic health status and adropin hormone in Iranian adults.

Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2(SGLT-2) inhibitors are a newer class of antidiabetic drugs with the increased risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis(EuDKA). Encephalopathy is a rare but life-threatening event of EuDKA. Due to paradoxically normal or slightly elevated serum glucose levels, it's easy to be mimicked by cerebral infarction, structural brain damage, thus leading to delayed diagnosis and causing seriously irreversible brain injury.

Unlabelled: While previous research has established correlations between pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), late-pregnancy blood glucose, and late-pregnancy blood lipid levels during pregnancy and offspring's physical development, the underlying mechanism of their interaction remains elusive. A birth cohort study was conducted on pregnant women, who are biologically female, delivering at a tertiary hospital in Wuhan City between May 2023 and April 2024, encompassing 1620 participants. We collected maternal socio-demographic data through questionnaires and obtained information on fasting blood glucose (FPG), lipid levels during the third trimester, and neonatal physical development from medical records.

The ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, composed of Kir6.2 and SUR1 subunits, are essential for glucose homeostasis. While the role of pancreatic KATP channels in regulating insulin secretion is well-documented, the specific contributions of neuronal KATP channels remain unclear due to challenges in precisely targeting neuronal subpopulations.

Introduction: Stress hyperglycaemia at hospital presentation is associated with poorer outcomes. Less is known about the risk of poorer outcomes according to achieved glycaemia early in the admission.
Research Design/methods: This was a retrospective observational study of patients admitted to non-critical care wards.
