Managing type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is challenging and requires intensive glucose monitoring and titration of insulin in order to reduce the risk of complications. The use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, either flash or intermittently scanned glucose monitoring (isCGM) or real-time (RT) CGM, has positively affected the management of type 1 diabetes with the potential to lower HbA1c, enhance time spent in range, reduce frequency and time spent in hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, lower glycemic variability, and improve quality of life. In recent years, both CGM and pump technology have advanced, with improved functional features and integration, including low glucose suspend (LGS), predictive low glucose suspend (PLGS), and hybrid closed-loop (HCL) systems. In this review, we highlight the benefits and limitations of use of isCGM/RT-CGM for open-loop control and recent progress in closed-loop control systems. We also discuss different subject profiles for the different systems, and focus on educational aspects that are key to successful use of the systems.

Background: Abnormal glucose metabolism in AD brains correlates with cognitive deficits. The glucose changes are consistent with brain thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency. In animals, thiamine deficiency causes multiple AD-like changes including memory loss, neuron loss, brain inflammation, enhanced phosphorylation of tau, exaggerated plaque formation and elevated advanced glycation end products (AGE).

Change in adiposity indices after 1 year of peritoneal dialysis: a single-center cohort study.

Clin Kidney J

January 2025

Carol & Richard Yu Peritoneal Dialysis Research Centre, Department of Medicine & Therapeutics, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, Hong Kong, China.

Background: Weight gain is common after starting peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several adiposity indices have been developed recently as potential indicators of visceral adiposity and lipid accumulation. We aim to investigate the prevalence and prognostic implications of the change in adiposity indices after 1 year of PD.

The FreeStyle Libre (Abbott) is a human continuous glucose monitor sensor that has been used to monitor glucose concentrations in dogs and cats with diabetes. This sensor and other similar continuous glucose monitoring sensors are increasingly popular in veterinary medicine, specifically for management of diabetes mellitus. The sensor decreases veterinary visits and reduces the stress (and expense) of multiple blood sample collections needed to produce glucose curves.

Association of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) with the Risk of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Diabetes.

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Ionic-Molecular Function of Cardiovascular Disease, Department of Cardiology, Tianjin Institute of Cardiology, The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, 300211, People's Republic of China.

Background: Both renal function decline and systemic inflammation may synergistically increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigates the association between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels with the risk of new-onset AF in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Methods: We included diabetic patients without AF who participated in physical exams in the Kailuan Study from 2006 to 2010.
