Objective: Data regarding the association between hypoglycemia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are limited. This study investigated whether hypoglycemia was associated with the risk of ADHD in young people with T1DM.
Methods: Children and adolescents with a diagnosis of T1DM were identified from the Longitudinal National Health Insurance Database in Taiwan from 1998 to 2011. Among them who were newly diagnosed with hypoglycemia during 2000 to 2007 were selected for the hypoglycemia cohort. The hypoglycemia diagnosis date was defined as the index date. Those who were diagnosed with ADHD before the index date were excluded. The main outcome was the development of ADHD. In total, 726 participants with hypoglycemia and 2852 participants without hypoglycemia were included in this study.
Results: The overall incidence density of ADHD was markedly increased among cohort with hypoglycemia compared with cohort without hypoglycemia (4.74 vs 1.65 per 1000 person-years), with an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 2.73 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.50-4.98). Cohort with hypoglycemia who had experienced a hypoglycemic coma had a significantly higher risk of ADHD (aHR = 6.54, 95% CI = 1.89-22.7) compared with cohort without hypoglycemia.
Conclusions: Hypoglycemia, especially hypoglycemic coma, is significantly associated with a subsequent risk of ADHD in young people with T1DM.

Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) are antidiabetic drugs known for their minimal side effects and limited drug interaction witih immunosuppressants, making them suitable for patients with diabetes and kidney transplant recipients. However, there is limited real-world information regarding the use of DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with post transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM).
Method: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study of 13,828 kidney transplant recipients form Janary 1, 2002, through December 21, 2018, using the Korean National Health Information Database.

Prior research has indicated that adopting strict glycemic control measures might elevate the risk of hypoglycemia and result in higher mortality rates among critically ill patients. However, there is a lack of studies investigating the incidence of hypoglycemia and its consequential outcomes in real-world clinical settings. This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, utilizing critical care databases covering the period from 2015 to 2020.

Diabetes presents a significant challenge to healthcare due to the short- and long-term complications associated with poor blood sugar control. Computer simulation platforms have emerged as promising tools for advancing diabetes therapy by simulating patient responses to treatments in a virtual environment. The University of Virginia Virtual Lab (UVLab) is a new simulation platform engineered to mimic the metabolic behavior of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using a mathematical model of glucose homeostasis in T2D and a large population of 6062 virtual subjects.

Background: Dysglycaemia metrics, defined as hyperglycaemia, increased glucose variability, hypoglycaemia and reduced time in the targeted blood glucose range (TIR), are linked to higher mortality. The relationship between dysglycaemia metrics and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality over time for patients with and without diabetes remains inconclusive, posing challenges for ICU medical staff in accurately identifying and distinguishing various risk factors and taking timely and appropriate responses.
Aim: To explore which dysglycaemia metrics within the first 7 days of ICU stay are associated with ICU mortality among patients with and without diabetes.

Aims: Insulin therapy is a cornerstone in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management, but its use is associated with several barriers, including hypoglycaemia, fear of injections and high costs. We compared the risk of insulin initiation and other treatment intensification between patients with T2DM newly treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) versus those newly treated with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i).
Materials And Methods: This Japanese retrospective cohort study was conducted between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2023 using the JMDC Claims Database.
