Published: September 2015

The need to develop an insulin delivery system that can closely mimic physiologically induced changes in prandial insulin release has been a major research target since the discovery of insulin. The challenges facing existing insulin delivery systems, related to relatively slow pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, have been further highlighted by rapid advances in diabetes technology and progress in artificial pancreas research. Despite the growing interest in alternative routes of insulin administration, the subcutaneous route remains-at least for now-the preferred route for insulin administration. In this article, we review efforts aimed at developing subcutaneously injected ultrafast-acting insulin and measures aimed at enhancing insulin absorption, focusing on local warming devices.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often accompanied by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), both of which are related to brain damage and cognitive impairment. However, cortical structural alteration and its relationship with metabolism and cognition in T2D with NAFLD (T2NAFLD) and without NAFLD (T2noNAFLD) remain unclear. The brain MRI scans, clinical measures and neuropsychological test were evaluated in 50 normal controls (NC), 73 T2noNAFLD, and 58 T2NAFLD.

Efficacy, safety and treatment satisfaction of transition to a regimen of insulin degludec/aspart: A pilot study.

World J Diabetes

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Key Laboratory of Endocrinology of National Health Commission, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100730, China.

Background: There is a lack of clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of transitioning from a thrice-daily pre-mixed insulin or basal-prandial regimen to insulin deglu-dec/aspart (IDegAsp) therapy, with insufficient data from the Chinese popu-lation.

Aim: To demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction associated with the transition to IDegAsp in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: In this 12-week open-label, non-randomized, single-center, pilot study, patients with T2DM receiving thrice-daily insulin or intensive insulin treatment were transitioned to twice-daily injections of insulin IDegAsp.

Individuals with type 2 diabetes are at high risk of postprandial falls in blood pressure (BP) (i.e., a reduction in systolic BP of ≥20mmHg, termed postprandial hypotension (PPH)), which increases the risk of falls and mortality.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how personalized dietary approaches using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can effectively manage post-prandial glucose response (PPGR) in older adults with prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes.
  • Data collected over two weeks indicated that measures like the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) and fasting glucose levels were strong predictors of glucose response during meals and oral glucose tolerance tests.
  • The findings suggest CGM-based strategies could enhance personalized nutrition and medical interventions for better controlling glucose levels in this demographic.
