Hypoglycemia limits optimal glycemic management of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Fear of hypoglycemia (FoH) is a significant psychosocial consequence that negatively impacts the willingness of T1DM patients to engage in and profit from the health benefits of regular physical activity (, cardiometabolic health, improved body composition, cardiovascular fitness, quality of life). Technological advances, improved insulin regimens, and a better understanding of the physiology of various types of exercise could help ameliorate FoH. This narrative review summarizes the available literature on FoH in children and adults and tools to avoid it.

Objectives: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in pregnancy is challenging. This study explores how assisted hybrid closed-loop (HCL) therapy versus sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT) impacts quality of life (QoL) in pregnancy.
Methods: We interviewed 22 of 24 participants randomized to HCL therapy or SAPT in the Pregnancy Intervention with a Closed-Loop System study.
Impact of the initiation of isCGM soon after type 1 diabetes mellitus diagnosis in adults on glycemic indices and fear of hypoglycemia: a randomized controlled trial.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

Department of Metabolic Diseases, Jagiellonian University Medical College, Krakow, Poland.
Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) improves glycemic control and quality of life. Data on glycemic indices and fear of hypoglycemia (FoH) in newly diagnosed T1DM patients are limited.
Aim: To assess the impact of initiating intermittently scanned CGM (isCGM) within 1-6 months of diagnosis on glycemic control and FoH in adults with T1DM.
Strategies to reduce hyperglycemia-related anxiety in elite athletes with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative analysis.

School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a global health concern with a rising prevalence, particularly in Brazil. Insulin therapy plays a crucial role in managing T2D, helping to maintain glucose and energy homeostasis. Moreover, early initiation of insulin is crucial for hyperglycemic control and prevention of chronic complications.

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.
