Sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitor (SGLTi) use is not uncommon in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Not much is known about possible risks or benefits when combining SGLTi with advanced hybrid closed-loop (aHCL). This report describes in detail the daily insulin dosing by the MiniMed™ 780G algorithm in a patient with T1D after SGLTi initiation leading to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Within a few days after start of SGLTi, the aHCL algorithm reduced autobasal and autocorrection doses, whereas meal bolus insulin doses were reduced mainly due to frequent activation of the "safe meal bolus." Taken together, there was a significant 49% reduction in total daily insulin dose after start of SGLTi, leading to insulin doses below the minimum needed to prevent ketone formation. Until more is known about the influence of SGLTi on aHCL algorithm functioning, we recommend caution with SGLTi use in people with T1D on aHCL systems to avoid increased DKA risk.

Hyperglycemic emergencies cause significant losses of body water, sodium, and potassium. This report presents a method for computing the actual losses of water and monovalent cations in these emergencies. We developed formulas for computing the losses of water and monovalent cations as a function of the presenting serum sodium and glucose levels, the sum of the concentrations of sodium plus potassium in the lost fluids, and body water at the time of hyperglycemia presentation as measured by bioimpedance or in the initial euglycemic state as estimated by anthropometric formulas.

Background: The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in lower and middle - income countries call for preventive public health interventions. Studies from Africa including those from Ghana, consistently reveal high T2DM-related mortality rates. While previous research in the Ho municipality has primarily examined risk factors, comorbidity, and quality of life of T2DM patients, this study specifically investigated mortality predictors among these patients.

Rationale: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare hereditary electrolyte disorder caused by mutations in the SLC12A3 gene. There is limited literature on the role of hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) testing and the SLC12A3 single heterozygous mutation in the diagnosis and management of patients with GS. In addition, cases of GS with concomitant kidney stones are rare.

The management of type 1 diabetes in pregnancy with new technologies is challenging. Sometimes the complexity of new-generation systems such as "continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, CSII" and patient or provider preference do not allow their use, so women with type 1 diabetes in pregnancy continue to be treated with subcutaneous multiple-injection insulin therapy using pens. Smart insulin pens are new tools that allow for data collection on insulin dose and time of administration and have additional connectivity features.
