Background: Increased daytime activity in children with type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with increased risk of hypoglycemia.
Objective: To determine whether an automated weekly review of accelerometer, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and insulin pump data, could be used to identify children with increased risk of nighttime hypoglycemia and preemptively adjust the nighttime basal insulin profile according to daytime activity.
Research And Design Methods: Clinical trial of children with T1DM on insulin pump and CGM therapy. Subjects at risk of nighttime hypoglycemia were identified from regression analysis of daytime step count vs nighttime nadir glucose. If the regression slope was significantly different from zero (P < 0.05) subjects were managed with different algorithm derived nighttime basal insulin profiles following high and low activity days.
Results: Twenty children (median age: 12; range: 7-17 years) were enrolled. Regression slopes were significant in 10 children. In these children, baseline nighttime nadir glucose level was lower following high activity days (120 [110-139] vs 152 [130-162] mg/dL, P = 0.004). Use of activity-based nighttime basal profiles produced similar nighttime nadir glucose levels following high and low activity days (136 [123-175] vs 140 [108-180] mg/dL, P = 0.73) with fewer nighttime interventions to correct hypoglycemia (0 [0-0.16] vs 0.15 [0.13-0.22] per night, P = 0.008).
Conclusion: Children with lower nighttime glucose levels following high daytime activity can be identified using step count data obtained from readily available accelerometers and the nighttime glucose control improved using different activity-based basal profiles.

Objective: We investigated strategies to mitigate hypoglycemic risk during and after different aerobic exercises in people with type 1 diabetes (pwT1D) using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion.
Research Design And Methods: Thirty-seven pwT1D (21 adults, 16 adolescents; HbA1c = 7.5 ± 1.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cardamonin (CDN) on the growth performance, intestinal mucosal barrier function and intestinal microbiota of Danzhou chickens under heat stress. A total of 200 one-day-old female Danzhou chickens were randomly divided into 5 groups. The daytime temperature of heat stress (HS) was set at 36 ± 2°C, and the nighttime temperature was kept the same as in the control (CON) group at 25 ± 2°C.

Introduction: Daily insulin administration can be burdensome for people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) and can impact treatment adherence. This study investigated preferences for once-weekly, long-acting basal insulin for treatment of PwT2D.
Methods: An online discrete-choice experiment was administered to PwT2D in the USA.

The metabolic rate of a freely moving fish (routine metabolic rate) is tightly coupled with volitional movement (spontaneous activity), both of which commonly show strong daily cycles linked to the species-specific diel activity pattern. Mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), an important estuarine fish in the north western Atlantic Ocean, are historically reported as diurnal (i.e.
