Background And Objective: Blood glucose variability is common in healthcare and it is not related or influenced by diabetes mellitus. To minimise the risk of high blood glucose in critically ill patients, Stochastic Targeted Blood Glucose Control Protocol is used in intensive care unit at hospitals worldwide. Thus, this study focuses on the performance of stochastic modelling protocol in comparison to the current blood glucose management protocols in the Malaysian intensive care unit. Also, this study is to assess the effectiveness of Stochastic Targeted Blood Glucose Control Protocol when it is applied to a cohort of diabetic patients.

Methods: Retrospective data from 210 patients were obtained from a general hospital in Malaysia from May 2014 until June 2015, where 123 patients were having comorbid diabetes mellitus. The comparison of blood glucose control protocol performance between both protocol simulations was conducted through blood glucose fitted with physiological modelling on top of virtual trial simulations, mean calculation of simulation error and several graphical comparisons using stochastic modelling.

Results: Stochastic Targeted Blood Glucose Control Protocol reduces hyperglycaemia by 16% in diabetic and 9% in nondiabetic cohorts. The protocol helps to control blood glucose level in the targeted range of 4.0-10.0 mmol/L for 71.8% in diabetic and 82.7% in nondiabetic cohorts, besides minimising the treatment hour up to 71 h for 123 diabetic patients and 39 h for 87 nondiabetic patients.

Conclusion: It is concluded that Stochastic Targeted Blood Glucose Control Protocol is good in reducing hyperglycaemia as compared to the current blood glucose management protocol in the Malaysian intensive care unit. Hence, the current Malaysian intensive care unit protocols need to be modified to enhance their performance, especially in the integration of insulin and nutrition intervention in decreasing the hyperglycaemia incidences. Improvement in Stochastic Targeted Blood Glucose Control Protocol in terms of u model is also a must to adapt with the diabetic cohort.

Department of Materno-Fetal Medicine, Genetics and Reproduction, Institute of Biomedicine of Seville (IBIS), Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocio/CSIC/University of Seville, Avda. Manuel Siurot s/n. ES, Seville, 41013, Spain.

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on pregnancy outcomes in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 387 pregnant women with PGDM at Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, spanning from 2016 to 2022. The patients were categorized into two groups: 212 women who used continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and 175 women who self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG).

Context: Autoantibodies against IFN-α (AAb-IFN-α) might be associated with the less aggressive autoimmunity in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) compared to early-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Objective: To investigate the presence and clinical relevance of the positivity to AAb-IFN-α in people with LADA compared to T1D.

Research Design And Methods: Serum levels of AAb against IFN-α isoforms were measured using a cell-based approach in 41 subjects with LADA and in 90 subjects with T1D.

Delay discounting and symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents experiencing challenges with managing type 1 diabetes.

Child Health Care

June 2023

Center for Technology and Behavioral Health, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College, Lebanon, NH, USA.

We examined if anxiety/depression, delay discounting (DD), and their interaction were associated with greater A1c levels and reduced medical adherence in adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Sixty-one adolescents with T1D completed a DD task and an A1c blood test. Adherence was assessed by self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) using glucometer data.

Objective: The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of intermittent fasting (IF) with a low-carbohydrate-high-protein (LCHP) diet on blood glucose control in streptozotocin (STZ)-nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetic rats (DR).

Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into six groups ( = 5) including a group of normal rats (NR) that received a control diet (CD) (50% carbohydrates, 17% protein, and 33% fat) with (AL) feeding. The remaining 5 groups were DR injected with STZ and fed on CD or LCHP diet (40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat) for 6 weeks, either AL or IF (with a time-restricted feeding of 16 h followed by 8 h feeding period).
