Blood glucose, HbA1c not linked to infection rates after penile prosthesis implantation

Blood glucose and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels before penile prosthesis (PP) placement do not seem to influence the risk of postoperative infection, revision, or explantation among diabetic men, a recent study has found.

New extreme insulin resistance type discovered: nonhypoglycaemic insulin autoimmune syndrome

A novel type of extreme insulin resistance, characterized by very high total insulin and very low free insulin levels, has been found to be caused by high-affinity insulin autoantibodies with a large capacity, reveals a study.

Add-on linagliptin improves glucose control in persistent IGT

After 12 months of metformin and consistent lifestyle changes, patients who still showed impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) seem to benefit from the addition of linagliptin to their regimen, leading to improvements in glucose concentrations and pancreatic β-cell function, a recent study has found.
