Background: Reducing the frequency of self-monitoring of blood sugar, due to needle phobia, pain, stress, and costs associated with the procedure, can improve patient compliance and quality of life, provided that adequate blood sugar control is maintained. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low-frequency blood glucose self-monitoring (LFBGSM) on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1) levels among older adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), treated with or without insulin.
Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled trial with a parallel design was conducted on 121 older adults with T2DM in Sabzevar, Iran, between 2018 and 2020.

Telomeres, the protective chromosomal ends, progressively shorten and potentially are implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. In type 2 diabetes (T2DM), telomere shortening may play an important role, but the whole 'picture' remains limited. From a therapeutic perspective, the phytonutrient quercetin appears to be clinically effective and safe for patients with T2DM.

Body Weight (BW) High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an effective strategy for reducing cardiometabolic markers in individuals with insulin resistance and Type-2 diabetes (T2D). High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a ubiquitous nuclear factor, plays an ample role beyond an alarmin in T2D development and progression.

Purpose: To reduce perioperative risks among patients with a preoperative diabetes mellitus (DM) a total pancreatectomy (TP) might be a alternative to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). This study aimed to compare the postoperative quality of life (QoL) of patients with preoperative DM undergoing PD or TP.
Methods: A single-centre retrospective study was conducted, all consecutive patients with preoperative DM undergoing PD or TP between 2011 and 2023 were identified in a prospective database.

The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes, which represents 90% of diabetes cases globally, is a major public health concern. Improved glucose management reduces the risk of vascular complications and mortality; however, only a small proportion of the type 2 diabetes population have blood glucose levels within the recommended treatment targets. In recent years, diabetes technologies have revolutionised the care of people with type 1 diabetes, and it is becoming increasingly evident that people with type 2 diabetes can also benefit from these advances.
