Vitamin D supplementation could possibly reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes in susceptible children.

New study suggests packaged food claims like “reduced in sugar” or “no added sugar” still have sugar levels too high by World Health Organization standards.

New insulin formulation emerges as safe alternative to long-acting insulins and inconsistent glycemic levels, but could have higher risk of cardiovascular events.

Patients who discontinue their daily aspirin for heart disease prevention may be at risk of further complications.

Screen-based media in a child's room found to have an independent risk factor for overweight and increased body fatness.

Which do you feel plays a more important role in the health of your patients with diabetes? 1) Nutrition 2) Exercise 3) Both

Your patient has been taking metformin, glipizide, and a daily basal insulin dose (.85 U/kg/day). While his fasting glucose levels are on target, he has not yet been able to reach his individualized glycemic target of A1C<7%. In your discussion with him about the addition of a prandial insulin dose to his regimen, you compare and contrast his options. Compared to basal insulin alone, premixed insulins: A. tend to lower A1c to a larger degree. B. are associated with less weight gain. C. cause less hypoglycemia. D. are a good option for people with irregular meal schedules. Follow the link to see the right answer.

In this week's Homerun Slides, we conclude our 12-part series with pharmacologic approaches to treating chronic kidney disease in type 2.

Future directions and potential application of metabolite profiling in type 2 diabetes: metabolomics approaches have unmasked a variety of metabolic pathways influenced by T2DM or insulin resistance, moving the field of metabolic physiology beyond a “glucocentric” viewpoint of these conditions. However, a difficulty in interpretation is that the fasting concentration of a metabolite only reflects a single moment in time, and etiology or tissue origins of any metabolite differences across comparator groups requires further validation.

Study uses continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems to assess blood glucose levels during sleep.
