Overview
of the importance of glycaemic control for cardiovascular events
in the in-and out-patient setting |
| |
The present review has the aim to discuss the
importance of glycaemic control for future cardiovascular events
starting from the in-hospital setting and continuing to long-term
management based on available literature and recently updated international
guidelines (Reviews in Endocrine & Metabolic Disorders) |

Prevention
of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia Using Predictive Alarm Algorithms and
Insulin Pump Suspension |
| |
Using algorithms to shut off the insulin pump
when hypoglycemia is predicted, it is possible to prevent hypoglycemia
on 75% of nights (84% of events) when it would otherwise be predicted
to occur (Diabetes Care) |

Use
of continuous glucose monitoring in young children with type
1 diabetes: implications for behavioral research |
| |
CGM may be particularly useful in young children
who often experience more glucose variability. Data obtained via
CGM are richer and more detailed than traditional SMBG data and
allow for analyses to link blood glucose with behavior (Pediatric
Diabetes) |

Screening
and diagnosing diabetes in optometrists' practices: an evaluation
of perceptions, attitudes and beliefs |
| |
Optometrists are willing to carry out capillary
blood glucose tests, provided that the scheme is simple, is supported
by other health care professionals and is properly funded (Practical
Diabetes International) |

|
Influence
of Insulin in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus on Pancreatic Glucagon
Secretion In Vivo |
| |
Together, these data suggest that insulin's
inhibitory effect on alpha cell glucagon release is in part mediated
at the level of the VMH under both normoglycemic and hypoglycemic
conditions (Diabetes) |

|
Concomitant
therapy with pioglitazone and insulin for the treatment of type
2 diabetes |
| |
The combination of insulin with pioglitazone,
a TZD, reduces glycoated hemoglobin (HbA1c) by 0.6%–2.1%. The higher the HbA1c baseline the larger the therapeutic reduction of HbA1c

of Diabetes among Men and Women in China |
| |
These results indicate that diabetes has become
