Tech-enabled, team-based approach lowers HbA1c levels in youth with T1D
In children with type 1 diabetes (T1D), glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) significantly decreases at 12 months after diagnosis with the help of a technology-enabled, team-based approach to intensified new-onset education involving target setting, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and remote data review, results of a study have shown.

05 Apr 2022Resistance exercise could improve sleep duration, efficiency
Individuals at elevated cardiovascular disease risk (overweight/obese, increased blood pressure levels) may improve the duration and efficiency of their sleep through regular resistance exercise regimens, according to a study presented at the EPI Lifestyle Scientific Sessions 2022.

04 Apr 2022Allo-HSCT recipients at higher risk of metabolic diseases
Rigorous monitoring is necessary among recipients of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for the development of metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), suggests a recent study.

04 Apr 2022Subclinical hyperthyroidism not a risk factor for MACE in PCI patients
Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SHyper) does not independently correlate with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), results of a study have shown.

04 Apr 2022Could drinking wine with meals reduce T2D risk?
Individuals who consume a moderate amount of wine with meals may have a reduced risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to a study presented at the EPI Lifestyle Scientific Sessions 2022.

01 Apr 2022Diabetics with severe insulin resistance exhibit poor physical fitness
Individuals with severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD) appear to have the lowest physical fitness compared with other diabetes subgroups despite similar endothelial function across all cohorts, a study has shown. Moreover, those with severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID) have the lowest cardiovascular risk within the first year following diagnosis relative to other clusters.

01 Apr 2022Ebbs and flows in weight influence CVD risk in T2D patients
In individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), greater variability in adiposity indices (BMI and waist circumference [WC]) was tied to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes and death – but an intensive weight loss programme mitigated this risk, a study suggests.

31 Mar 2022SGLT2i better than DDP4i at preventing heart failure hospitalization, death in T2DM
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) reduce hospitalization for heart failure (hHF) and all-cause death in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients without a history of cardiovascular disease, reports a new study.
