Background: A number of primary studies suggested that active smoking could be independently associated with incident diabetes. However less is known about the effect of active smoking and smoking cessation on glycemic control in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations of active smoking and smoking cessation with glycemic control in diabetic patients.
Methods: The present was a cross-sectional study of 10 551 men and 15 297 women with diabetes from the Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabeTic Individuals: a lONgitudinal (REACTION) study. Risk factors for glycemic control and the association of active smoking with glycemic control were evaluated using logistic regression models. Poor glycemic control was defined as HbA1c ≥7.0%.
Results: Current smokers have an increased risk of poor glycemic control, and the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of HbA1c ≥7.0% with current smoking were 1.49 (1.35-1.66) in men and 1.56 (1.13-2.15) in women. Further analysis demonstrated a dose-dependent relationship between active smoking and the risk of poor glycemic control in men. Former smokers who quit smoking for <10 years remained at increased risk of poor glycemic control, with the risk leveling off after 10 years of smoking cessation compared with non-smokers, but risk in former smokers was significantly lower than that in current smokers.
Conclusions: Active smoking is a modifiable risk factor for poor glycemic control in Chinese diabetic patients.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to consolidate recent findings on the development and functional validation of berry-based foods while proposing guidelines for future advancements.
Recent Findings: Current investigations on berry-based functional foods (dairy and bakery products, snacks, etc.) emphasize their potential health benefits, including antioxidant effects, glycemic control, enzyme modulation, among others.

Platelet aggregation and inflammation play a crucial role in atherothrombosis. Wine contains micro-constituents of proper quality and quantity that exert cardioprotective actions, partly through inhibiting platelet-activating factor (PAF), a potent inflammatory and thrombotic lipid mediator. However, wine cannot be consumed extensively due to the presence of ethanol.

Diabetes is a chronic lifelong condition that requires consistent self-care and daily lifestyle adjustments. Effective disease management involves regular blood glucose monitoring and ongoing nursing support. Inadequate education and poor self-management are key factors contributing to increased mortality among diabetic individuals.

The advent of once-weekly insulin icodec is a promising development in the care of individuals with diabetes. These once-weekly formulations aimed to improve patient adherence and quality of life for patients who find daily injection administration challenging. Insulin icodec has demonstrated comparable glycemic control to conventionally used daily basal insulins, such as insulin glargine and degludec, in the ONWARDS clinical trials.

: Fluoxetine (FLX) is the inhibitor of serotonin reuptake most prescribed in pregnant women with depression. This study evaluates the influence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the enantioselective pharmacokinetics and transplacental distribution of FLX and its metabolite norfluoxetine (norFLX). : Ten pregnant women diagnosed with GDM (GDM group) were investigated in the third trimester of gestation after they achieved good glycemic control.
