Objective: to identify the factors associated with pregnancy that influence constant glycemic variability.

Method: a case-control study with random sampling. The medical records of 417 pregnant women were divided into case group (200 pregnant women with constant glycemic variability) and control group (217 pregnant women without constant glycemic variability). Data were collected from 2009 to 2015.

Results: pregnant women aged 25 years and over, with family history of diabetes mellitus, with systemic arterial hypertension, overweightness or obesity, sedentarism and polycystic ovarian syndrome are more likely to present changes in blood glucose.

Conclusion: The study demonstrated that risk factors associated with pregnancy increase the risk of constant glycemic variability. The findings will allow reassessment of the interventions during pregnancy, providing an increase in nursing care quality.

Glucose metabolism and hormonal responses are largely affected by exercise intensity, which exhibits an alternating pattern in many sports activities. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare glycemic and hormonal responses during and after exercise of constant (CON) and alternating (ALT) intensity with the same duration and total work. Ten healthy male volunteers performed two, 60 min cycling exercise bouts in random order: the ALT bout, where exercise intensity alternated between 46.

Salivary proteomic analysis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and periodontitis.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Institute of Science and Technology, Division of Periodontics, São Paulo State University (Unesp), Av. Eng. Francisco José Longo, 777, São José dos Campos, São Paulo, 12245-000, Brazil.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the salivary protein profile in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and periodontitis and their respective controls.

Methods: Eighty participants were included in the study. The four groups were formed by individuals with DM2 and periodontitis (DM2 + P, n = 20), DM2 without periodontitis (DM2, n = 20), periodontitis without DM2 (P, n = 20) and individuals without periodontitis and without DM2 (H, n = 20).

Objective: Postoperative lymphopenia is reported as an excellent indicator to predict surgical-site infection (SSI) after spine surgery. However, there is still controversy concerning which serological markers can predict spinal SSI. This study aims to evaluate excellent and early indicators for detecting SSI, focusing on spine instrumented surgery.

The effect of percentage of time spent above different glucose levels on 90 days mortality of critically ill patients - A retrospective cohort study.

Clin Nutr ESPEN

February 2025

Department of General Intensive Care, Rabin Medical Centre, Beilinson Hospital, Petah Tikva, Israel; School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Article Synopsis
  • Glycemic control during critical illness is crucial, with recommendations suggesting insulin therapy for glucose levels over 180 mg/dL, and possibly lowering it to 140 mg/dL for non-diabetics; this study explored the relationship between different glucose thresholds and 90-day mortality.
  • A retrospective study analyzed data from 1,429 critical patients, revealing that diabetic individuals had higher mean glucose levels and mortality rates compared to non-diabetics.
  • The findings indicated that non-diabetic patients with glucose levels exceeding 150 mg/dL were at a greater risk of mortality within 90 days, highlighting the importance of managing hyperglycemia in this group.

Type 1 diabetes is increasing and the majority of patients have poor glycemic control. Although advanced technology and nanoparticle use have greatly enhanced insulin delivery and glucose monitoring, weight gain and hypoglycemia remain major challenges and a constant source of concern for patients with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes shares some pathophysiology with type 2 diabetes, and an overlap has been reported.
