This meta-analysis shows that well-controlled people with type 1 diabetes on both MDI and CSII with continuous or flash glucose monitoring did not experience a deterioration in glucose control throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, showing a modest, though statistically significant improvement in many glucose control parameters (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Association of glycemic variability assessed by continuous glucose monitoring with subclinical diabetic polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetes
The SDgluc is a significant independent contributor to subclinical diabetic polyneuropathy, in addition to conventional risk factors including diabetes duration and HbA1c (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
Glycemic Variability and KIM-1–Induced Inflammation in the Diabetic Kidney
Recognition of DKD as an inflammatory disease linked by metabolic perturbations and immune responses is a central tenet that requires broader and deeper exploration (Diabetes)
Effects of intermittent very-low calorie diet on glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A randomized controlled trial
Intermittent VLCD was highly effective in achieving optimal glycemic control. The effects of 2 days/week and 4 days/week of intermittent VLCD on diabetes remission were relatively similar (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
Significant abnormal glycemic variability increased the risk for arrhythmias in elderly type 2 diabetic patients
The study demonstrated the elderly patients had greater glycemic variability and were more prone to arrhythmias. Therefore, active control of blood glucose fluctuation in elderly patients will help to reduce the risk of severe arrhythmia (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Association of glycemia with insulin sensitivity and β-cell function in adults with early type 2 diabetes on metformin alone
Glycemia is strongly associated with β-cell dysfunction in adults with early T2DM treated with metformin alone. Efforts to improve glycemia should focus on interventions aimed at improving β-cell function (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
The comparative effects of intensive glucose lowering in diabetes patients aged below or above 65 years: results from the ADVANCE trial
Our results suggest that an intensive glycaemic control strategy to reduce HbA1c to 6.5% provided broadly similar benefits and harms and may be recommended for older, as well as younger, patients (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Acute glycaemic management before, during and after exercise for cardiac rehabilitation participants with diabetes mellitus
A joint statement of the British and Canadian Associations of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation, the International Council for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation and the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (British Journal of Sports Medicine)
Glycemic control before admission is an important determinant of prognosis in patients with coronavirus disease 2019
HbA1c was an independent risk factor for poor outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 patients. Severe pulmonary infection and consequent acute respiratory distress syndrome might be the primary causes of death in insufficient glycemic control patients (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
Visit‐to‐visit variability of clinical risk markers in relation to long‐term complications in type 1 diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, higher variability of basic clinical risk markers adds important risk stratification information for the development of micro‐ and macrovascular complications (Diabetic Medicine)
Durability of glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta‐analysis for its association with body weight changes
Modest weight loss with a goal of 2‐3% of body weight should be recommended to improve therapeutic durability and prevent beta‐cell deterioration (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Population pharmacokinetics of gabapentin in patients with neuropathic pain: lack of effect of diabetes or glycaemic control
This PopPK model accurately estimated GBP concentrations in patients with neuropathic pain, using eGFR as a covariate for total clearance. The distribution and excretion processes of GBP were not affected by hyperglycaemia or diabetes (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology)
Multimorbidity, glycaemic variability and time in target range in people with type 2 diabetes: a baseline analysis of the GP-OSMOTIC trial
While multimorbidity was common in this T2D cohort, it was not associ (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)ated with HbA1c, CV or TIR. Future studies should explore factors other than glycaemia that contribute to the increased mortality observed in those with multimorbidity and T2D
Effect of Intensive Glycemic and Blood Pressure Control on QT Prolongation in Diabetes: The ACCORD Trial
The increased mortality observed in the intensive glycemic control arm in the ACCORD trial is not likely to be explained by QT prolongation leading to lethal ventricular arrhythmias (Diabetes)
Beta-cell function in type 2 diabetic patients who failed to maintain good glycemic status with a combination of maximum dosages of metformin and sulfonylurea
In T2DM patients who failed to achieve glycemic control with a combination of maximum dosages of metformin and SU, the beta-cell function declined compared to NGT subjects. However, the beta-cells were still responsive to SUs, which play a significant role in glycemic control (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)
Association of Higher Circulating Insulin Antibody with Increased Mean Amplitude Glycemic Excursion in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The higher circulating IA titer was associated with increased MAGE in T2DM patients, indicating that those patients with elevated IA titer should receive GV assessment and individualized treatment (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Poor short-term glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes impairs the intestinal mucosal barrier: a prospective, single-center, observational study
T2DM patients who incapable of maintaining stable blood glucose level are at a higher risk to associated with intestinal mucosal barrier injury (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Beyond HbA1c: using continuous glucose monitoring metrics to enhance interpretation of treatment effect and improve clinical decision‐making
This review presents several clinical scenarios of glycaemic outcomes from CGM data that can be analysed to describe glycaemic variability and its attendant risks of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia, moving towards relevant interpretation of the complex CGM data streams (Diabetic Medicine)
Effect of structured self‐monitoring of blood glucose, with and without additional TeleCare support, on overall glycaemic control in non‐insulin treated Type 2 diabetes: the SMBG Study, a 12‐month randomized controlled trial
Structured self‐monitoring of blood glucose provides clinical and statistical improvements in glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetes. No additional benefit, over and above the use of structured self‐monitoring of blood glucose, was observed in glycaemic control with the addition of once‐monthly TeleCare support (Diabetic Medicine)
Coronary microvascular dysfunction is associated with poor glycemic control amongst female diabetics with chest pain and non-obstructive coronary artery disease
Poor glycemic control is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction amongst female diabetics presenting with chest pain and non-obstructive CAD. These findings highlight the importance of sex specific risk stratification models and treatment strategies when managing cardiovascular risk amongst diabetics (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
