Background: To investigate the effect of school life by comparing the glycemic control between holidays and schooldays in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: This observational study enrolled school-aged students with T1D (aged 6-19) from September 2019 to July 2021. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) records were processed and divided into holidays and schooldays. Other information was collected questionnaires. We compared the results using paired T-test, Wilcoxon paired test and logistic regression analysis.

Results: 78 paticipants were included (40 boys, mean age 9.95 years). A total of 142,945 h of CGM data were analyzed. Overall, TIR (3.9-7.8 mmol/L) during holidays was better than schooldays [56.97 (SD 15.03) vs. 55.87 (15.06), %,  = 0.039]. On nocturnal (0-6 am) glycemic fluctuation, TIR was longer in children aged 6-10 [60.54 (17.40) vs. 56.98 (SD 16.32), %,  = 0.012] during holiday and TAR (7.8 mmol/L) was shorter [31.54 (17.54) vs. 35.54 (16.95), %,  = 0.013], compared with schooldays. In adolescents aged 10-19 years, TAR was also significantly shorter during holidays. Stratified analysis showed that girls, patients with longer duration, and insulin pump users had more pronounced worsening of nighttime glycemia on schooldays. Logistic regression analysis showed that girls had higher risk of worse nocturnal glycemic control [3.26, 95% CI (1.17, 9.72),  = 0.027] and nocturnal hyperglycemia [ = 2.95, 95% CI (1.08, 8.56),  = 0.039], compared to boys.

Conclusions: Children and adolescents with T1D were found to have worse glycemic control in nighttime during schooldays.

There is growing emphasis on increasing utilization of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD); however, use in patients with severe obesity has still been fraught for various reasons. We aim to assess the viability of PD in patients with severe obesity (BMI > 40 Kg/m). We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients admitted at the home dialysis center of an academic center between 2014 and 2020 (n = 99).

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are chronic diseases with increasing prevalence, underscoring the urgent need for effective treatment and management strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as an essential class of drugs for managing both obesity and T2DM, offering additional benefits for cardiovascular and kidney health. GLP-1 RAs work by targeting GLP-1 receptors, mimicking the effects of the natural hormone GLP-1 to regulate blood glucose levels, promote weight loss, and provide potential benefits for cardiovascular health.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by high blood glucose due to inadequate insulin action, comprises two main types: type 1, an autoimmune disease, and type 2, marked by insulin resistance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of diabetes management and treatment advancements. Effective diabetes management includes maintaining blood glucose levels within normal ranges and monitoring HbA1c, a marker reflecting average glucose levels over the past few months.

Poorly controlled type II diabetes mellitus significantly enhances postoperative chemoresistance in patients with stage III colon cancer.

Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou 510080, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with increased risk of colon cancer (CC) and worse prognosis in patients with metastases. The effects of T2DM on postoperative chemoresistance rate (CRR) and long-term disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with stage III CC who receive curative resection remain controversial.

Aim: To investigate whether T2DM or glycemic control is associated with worse postoperative survival outcomes in stage III CC.
