Alterations of platelet biochemical and functional properties in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes: a role in cardiovascular risk?
T1D patients exhibit structural and functional modifications of platelet membrane properties and alterations of NO metabolism due to diabetes per se and not to chronic hyperglycemia, insulin therapy or ageing. These results support the hypothesis that oxidative attack could be an important early event in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)

Expansion of CD4+CD28null T-lymphocytes in diabetic patients: exploring new pathogenetic mechanisms of increased cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus
In DM patients, CD4+CD28nullT-cells are expanded and are associated with poor glycaemic control; they also correlate with the occurrence of a first cardiovascular event and with a worse outcome after an ACS (European Heart Journal)

Renal glucose reabsorption inhibitors to treat diabetes
This review examines the potential of SGLT2 inhibitors as a novel approach to the treatment of hyperglycaemia in T2DM (Trends in Pharmacological Sciences)

Signaling diversity of PKA achieved via a Ca2+-cAMP-PKA oscillatory circuit
Here, we show that protein kinase A (PKA), Ca2+ and cyclic AMP (cAMP) oscillate in sync in insulin-secreting MIN6 beta cells, forming a highly integrated oscillatory circuit – Abstract (Nature Chemical Biology)

Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery During Pregnancy Complicated by Type 1 Diabetes
Model predictive control (MPC) algorithm performance was maintained throughout pregnancy, suggesting that overnight closed-loop insulin delivery could be used safely during pregnancy. More work is needed to achieve optimal postprandial glucose control (Diabetes Care)

Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim Announce Strategic Alliance to Bring New Diabetes Treatments to Patients Worldwide
Eli Lilly and Company and Boehringer Ingelheim today announced a global agreement to jointly develop and commercialize a portfolio of diabetes compounds currently in mid- and late-stage development.
