Death, CV risks increase with reduced renal function in diabetics

17 Jul 2020

Poor renal function contributes to a significant burden of disease in patients with diabetes, such that estimated glomerular filtration rate levels <90 mL/min/1.73 m2 are associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular (CV) hospitalizations, a study reports.

Next-gen auto insulin pump trumps current tech for glycaemic control in T1D

15 Jul 2020 by

The next-generation automated insulin delivery (AID) system significantly improved daytime glycaemic control without increasing hypoglycaemia over the current 670G hybrid closed-loop system on the market in young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), according to the FLAIR* trial presented during the ADA 2020 Annual Meeting.

Menopause carries increased metabolic syndrome risk

15 Jul 2020

Menopausal women, regardless of age, are at risk of developing metabolic syndrome, as suggested in a study. The perimenopausal period may thus be an important preventive care opportunity to evaluate metabolic risk factors and improve health and longevity of women.

14 Jul 2020 by

Substituting energy intake from fat with that from carbohydrates could affect type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, though the type of carbohydrate (high- or low-quality) plays an important role, according to a study presented at Nutrition 2020 Live Online.

13 Jul 2020 by

Stay-at-home orders have helped flatten the coronavirus growth curve, but for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D), staying in appears to have brought more harm than good: a drop in physical activity levels and poor glucose control.
