This review article explores the potential of ChatGPT as a substitute for diabetes educators. Diabetes is a prevalent chronic disease that requires ongoing education and support for patients to effectively manage their condition. However, there is a shortage of diabetes educators, and traditional education methods have limitations in addressing patients' individual needs. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence technology that offers a personalized and interactive approach to education and support. In this review, we provide an overview of ChatGPT technology, discuss the challenges facing diabetes educators, review evidence supporting the use of ChatGPT in diabetes education, and examine ethical considerations related to its use. We also provide recommendations for further research and development of ChatGPT in diabetes education and integration into clinical practice. ChatGPT has the potential to improve access to education and support for patients with diabetes, but further research is needed to better understand its effectiveness and limitations. It is important to ensure that ChatGPT is developed and integrated in an ethical and equitable manner to maximize its potential benefits and minimize potential risks.

Background: This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) technology paired with Kinesio Taping in patients with persistent nonspecific low back pain, as well as the effect on neuromuscular function and pain self-efficacy.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to collect clinical data on DNS combined with KT for the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain from November 2023 to April 2024. The inclusion criteria were patients with chronic nonspecific lower back pain, aged between 18 and 30 years old, and without serious underlying medical conditions, such as cardiac disease, hypertension, and diabetes.

Omissions or delays in desmopressin can result in serious patient harm in patients with Arginine-Vasopressin Deficiency (AVP-D), formally known as Cranial Diabetes Insipidus (CDI). Desmopressin administration practice in hospitals has not been thoroughly investigated previously. This study evaluated desmopressin prescription and administration practice at a large tertiary centre.
