Type 2 diabetic AMI patients receiving SGLT2-I exhibited significantly reduced inflammatory response and smaller infarct size compared to those receiving other OAD agents independently of glucose-metabolic control (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Impact of Diabetes Mellitus on the Immunity of Tuberculosis Patients: A Retrospective, Cross-Sectional Study
Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for pulmonary cavity formation and lobe lesions in patients with TB-DM and suppresses the absolute counts of total T lymphocytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes, and NK cells in patients with TB-DM. The potential mechanism may involve the downregulation of innate and adaptive immune responses (Risk Management and Healthcare Policy)
Plasma 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol is associated with peripheral nerve function and diabetic peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes and mild-to-moderate hyperglycemia
Low plasma 1,5-AG is closely associated with impaired peripheral nerve function and DPN in T2D patients under mild-to-moderate hyperglycemia (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes With 35 Years Duration From the DCCT/EDIC Study
The small subset of participants using routine CGM and insulin pumps had fewer hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic excursions and lower HbA1c levels. Thus, strategies to lower meal-stimulated hyperglycemia during the day and prevent hypoglycemia at night are relevant clinical goals in older patients with type 1 diabetes (Diabetes Care)
National Diabetes Audit, Non-Diabetic Hyperglycaemia, 2020-21, Diabetes Prevention Programme, Data Release
This short report uses data collected from GP practices alongside the National Diabetes Audit (NDA) for the period January 2020 to March 2021 inclusive. This report is for England only (NHS Digital)
Reappearance of C-Peptide During the Third Trimester of Pregnancy in Type 1 Diabetes: Pancreatic Regeneration or Fetal Hyperinsulinism?
First maternal C-peptide appearance at 34 weeks was associated with midtrimester hyperglycemia, elevated cord blood C-peptide, and high rates of neonatal complications. This suggests transfer of C-peptide from fetal to maternal serum and is inconsistent with pregnancy-related β-cell regeneration (Diabetes Care)
Management of diabetes and hyperglycaemia in the hospital
In this Review, we summarise the evidence from observational studies and clinical trials focusing on inpatient care of people with diabetes and stress hyperglycaemia, including the use of insulin and non-insulin treatment strategies, treatment goals, and the application of new technologies in the hospital setting (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Caring for Hospitalized Patients with Diabetes Mellitus, Hyperglycemia, and COVID-19: Bridging the Remaining Knowledge Gaps
Changes in diabetes-related protocols and new technology can be deployed in the inpatient setting to potentially improve healthcare worker and patient safety; however, one must weigh the risks and benefits of implementation during a pandemic (Current Diabetes Reports)

Multicentre analysis of hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar state and diabetic ketoacidosis in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
HHS/DKA occurred mostly in T1D and younger patients. However, both also occurred in T2D, which is of great importance in the treatment of diabetes. Better education programmes are necessary to prevent decompensation and comorbidities (Acta Diabetologica)
Oral antidiabetes agents for the management of inpatient hyperglycaemia: so far, yet so close
The administration of dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors to specific groups of inpatients might be a safe and effective alternative to insulin (Diabetic Medicine)
Hyperglycemia in Medically Critically Ill Patients: Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes
In our high acuity medically critically ill patient population, achieving time-weighted average daily blood glucose levels <180mg/dl reliably while in the ICU significantly decreased the odds of subsequent hospital mortality. Suboptimal glycemic control during the ICU stay, on the other hand, significantly increased the odds of a longer-than-predicted ICU and hospital stay (American Journal of Medicine)
The impact of hyperglycemia on urinary albumin excretion in recent onset diabetes mellitus type II
Hyperglycemic state emerges as a powerful predictor of increased UAE even at the earliest stages of diabetes. The relative contribution of hypertension and macrovascular dysfunction to the development of microalbuminuria seems to be obscured by hyperglycemia, even in patients whose diabetes onset does not exceed a few months’ time(BMC Nephrology)
Diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome: review of acute decompensated diabetes in adult patients
This review covers recommendations for acute management of diabetic ketoacidosis and HHS, the complications associated with these disorders, and methods for preventing recurrence. It also discusses why many patients who present with these disorders are at high risk for hospital readmissions, early morbidity, and mortality well beyond the acute presentation (BMJ)

Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Follow-up Study (HAPO FUS): Maternal Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Childhood Glucose Metabolism
Offspring exposed to untreated GDM in utero are insulin resistant with limited β-cell compensation compared with offspring of mothers without GDM. GDM is significantly and independently associated with childhood IGT (Diabetes Care)
Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Follow-up Study (HAPO FUS): Maternal Glycemia and Childhood Glucose Metabolism
Across the maternal glucose spectrum, exposure to higher levels in utero is significantly associated with childhood glucose and insulin resistance independent of maternal and childhood BMI and family history of diabetes (Diabetes Care)
A randomized comparison of three prandial insulin dosing algorithms for children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes
The Pankowska Equation resulted in reduced postprandial hyperglycaemia at the expense of an increase in hypoglycaemia. There were no significant differences when carbohydrate counting was compared to the Food Insulin Index. Further research is required to optimize prandial insulin dosing (Diabetic Medicine)
Glucose alert system improves health professional responses to adverse glycaemia and reduces the number of hyperglycaemic episodes in non‐critical care inpatients
Use of a novel glucose alert system improved health professional responses to adverse glycaemia and decreased hyperglycaemia in the hospital setting (Diabetic Medicine)
The Pathophysiology of Hyperglycemia in Older Adults: Clinical Considerations
