Article Abstract
Introduction: Few studies assessing the relationship between oxidative stress and glycemic variability in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are available, and most of them reported no significant results.
Objective: To assess the relationship between glucose control, glycemic variability, and oxidative stress as measured by urinary excretion of 8-iso-prostanglandin F2-alpha (8-iso-PGF2α) in children with T1DM.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study including 25 children with T1DM. Participants were evaluated during five days in two different situations: 1st phase during a summer camp, and 2nd phase in their everyday life at home. The following data were collected in each study phase:. - Six capillary blood glucose measurements per day. Mean blood glucose (MBG) levels and glucose variability parameters, including standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), were calculated. - Capillary HbA1c level. - 24-h urine sample to measure 8-iso-PGF2α.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in urinary 8-iso-PGF2α levels (142±37 vs. 172±61pg/mg creatinine) and glucose control and glycemic variability parameters between both phases. In the 2nd phase, statistically significant correlations were found between urinary 8-iso-PGF2α and HbA1c levels (r=0.53), MBG (r=0.72), standard deviation (r=0.49), and MAGE (r=0.42). No significant correlations between glucose control, glycemic variability and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α excretion were found in the 1st phase.
Conclusions: A significant correlation was found between glycemic variability and HbA1c level and urinary 8-iso-PGF2α excretion in a group of children with T1DM during their daily lives. Additional studies are needed to confirm this finding and to explore its long-term impact on health.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has emerged as a superior method to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) monitoring for glycemic control assessment in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The association between CGM parameters and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has not been extensively researched. The aim of the present study was to compare CGM metrics between patients with stable and progressive DKD and T1D.

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) represents 1% to 5% of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), and numerous genes associated with MODY have been identified. While mutations of the insulin gene () are known to cause permanent neonatal DM, rare disease-causing variants have also been found in MODY. These patients demonstrate variable clinical phenotypes-from milder forms requiring lifestyle or oral agent interventions to severe forms requiring lifelong insulin.

Aim: Determine the follow-up rate for patients referred following an abnormal teleretinal imaging (TRI) screening and examine patient characteristics predictive of follow-up nonadherence.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study of patients screened between August 2014 and July 2016 in the Harris Health System (HHS) in Houston, TX. All diabetic patients referred for in-person examination, who had data for all study variables, and who did not have established ophthalmic care in the HHS within the previous 2 years were included.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore how fluctuations in blood glucose levels relate to chronic pain in older adults (aged 60+) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and assess the predictive value of these fluctuations for pain severity.
- A total of 60 patients were evaluated, categorizing them into mild and severe pain groups based on their numeric pain scores, with extensive clinical data and continuous glucose monitoring used for analysis.
- Results indicated that higher pain scores correlated positively with factors like age, diabetes duration, and specific glucose parameters, while showing negative correlation with red blood cell count.
