Background: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that promotes insulin secretion, delays gastric emptying, and inhibits glucagon secretion. The GLP-1 receptor agonists have been developed as adjunctive therapies for type 2 diabetes to improve glucose control. Recently, there has been an interest in introducing GLP-1 receptor agonists as adjunctive therapies in type 1 diabetes alongside automatic insulin delivery systems. The preclinical validation of these systems often relies on mathematical simulators that replicate the glucose dynamics of a person with diabetes. This review aims to explore mathematical models available in the literature to describe GLP-1 effects to be used in a type 1 diabetes simulator.
Methods: Three databases were examined in the search for GLP-1 mathematical models. More than 1500 works were found after searching for specific keywords that were narrowed down to 39 works for full-text assessment.
Results: A total of 23 works were selected describing GLP-1 pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. However, none of the found models was designed for type 1 diabetes. An analysis is included of the available models' features that could be translated into a GLP-1 receptor agonist model for type 1 diabetes.
Conclusion: There is a gap in research in GLP-1 receptor agonists mathematical models for type 1 diabetes, which could be incorporated into type 1 diabetes simulators, providing a safe and inexpensive tool to carry out preclinical validations using these therapies.

Aims/hypothesis: UK standard care for type 2 diabetes is structured diabetes education, with no effects on HbA, small, short-term effects on weight and low uptake. We evaluated whether remotely delivered tailored diabetes education combined with commercial behavioural weight management is cost-effective compared with current standard care in helping people with type 2 diabetes to lower their blood glucose, lose weight, achieve remission and improve cardiovascular risk factors.
Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, randomised, parallel two-group trial.

Purpose Of Review: The prevalence of diabetes is rising around the world and represents an important public health concern. Unlike individual-level risk and protective factors related to the etiology of diabetes, contextual risk factors have been much less studied. Identification of contextual factors related to the risk of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries may help health professionals, researchers, and policymakers to improve surveillance, develop policies and programs, and allocate funding.

Insulin secretion is mainly regulated by two electrophysiological events, depolarization initiated by the closure of ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels and repolarization mediated by K+ efflux. Quinine, a natural component commonly used for the treatment of malaria, has been reported to directly stimulate insulin release and lead to hypoglycemia in patients during treatment through inhibiting KATP channels. In this study, we verified the insulinotropic effect of quinine on the isolated mouse pancreatic islets.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of Ramadan intermittent fasting on glycemic control in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This historical prospective study utilized electronic health records from a major state-mandated healthcare provider. The research sample included Muslim adults aged 40-70 years, who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: To investigate the association of diabetes mellitus and metformin use with metabolic acidosis risk after radical cystectomy (RC) and urinary diversion for bladder cancer.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study used TriNetX Research Network data. Patients undergoing RC with continent diversion or ileal conduit for bladder cancer were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) and ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) codes.
