23-year-old female, type 1 diabetes since 5 years of age. A1C elevated to 8.9% after usually having A1Cs in the 6-7 range. Came to see me at the end of our workday after wearing LibrePro (Blinded CGM) to go over her food/insulin/glucose/activity/etc. patterns. First thing she said to me was that she had a Dexcom but hasn't worn it because battery in transmitter was out for the past 6 months.

Glucose phosphorylation as a therapeutic target for diabetes: Early experiments using genetic overexpression of glucokinase in liver of rodent models showed promise for the protection against hyperglycemia during diabetes, spawning the development of glucokinase activators. These drugs interact with allosteric sites of glucokinase, thus promoting a conformation that exposes the catalytic domain and potentiates the activity of the enzyme.
