Objective: To investigate if there is an association between glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of the diet and the presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the elderly.
Methods: Retrospective study, composed of 229 patients seen at the Outpatient Clinic of Arterial Hyperten- sion in a public hospital, 103 carriers and 126 noncarriers of NAFLD. Food intake was analyzed to GI and GL.
Results: We found a high prevalence of inadequate dietary GI, with an average of 62.0 +/- 6.3 among patients with NAFLD and 62.5 +/- 6.5 among patients without NAFLD. The same occurred with the GL, 101.7 +/- 33.3 and 101.4 +/- 40.2, respectively, between carriers and noncarriers of the disease. There was no statistical difference between the values of GI and GL found in the diet of patients with and without NAFLD.
Conclusion: In the evaluated group there was no association between GI and GL dietetic with NAFLD, but the findings put all of the patients at higher risk for the development of chronic diseases.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and poses significant global health challenges. Conventional treatments, such as insulin therapy and lifestyle modifications, have shown limited efficacy in addressing the multifactorial nature of DM. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota, a diverse community of microorganisms critical for metabolism and immune function, plays a pivotal role in metabolic health.

Background: Although the number of studies reporting war-induced effects on the health of the Ukrainian population has been growing, there are still little data on assessing patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) during the war. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of war on T2D patients' health to define key risk factors promoting disease progression.
Methods: A survey covering various aspects of T2D patients' experience and glycemic control data was conducted from June 2022 to February 2024.

Aim: This real-world, retrospective cohort study aimed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral semaglutide-the first GLP-1 receptor agonist available in oral form-in patients aged 65 years and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials And Methods: The primary endpoint was the change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline (V1) to six months (V3). Secondary endpoints included change in body weight, proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7%, proportion of patients achieving both an HbA1c reduction of ≥1% and a body weight reduction of ≥5%.

Study Objectives: Our objectives were to compare sleep health composite dimensions and chronotype in children and adolescents with and without type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to explore the relationship between sleep and glycemic variability in T1D.
Methods: The study comprised 84 participants with T1D aged between 6 to 18 years, and age and sex matched by controls. The sleep health composite (SHC) was measured using actigraphy, sleep diaries, and self or parental reports.
