Explore how hypoglycemia and DKA may be linked to attention difficulties in children with type 1 diabetes and what new research reveals.

Discover why parenteral nutrition complicates insulin dosing and how CGM-guided adjustments improved glucose control in a small clinical study.

A small CGM study explores whether sexual activity increases hypoglycemia risk in adults with type 1 diabetes and what the findings mean for care.

Time-restricted eating has become a popular approach to weight management, but what happens when insulin-dependent diabetes enters the picture? Until recently, evidence on time-restricted eating in people with type 1 diabetes was notably limited. A new randomized controlled trial published in Diabetes Care offers some of the first direct evidence. …

Could continuous glucose monitoring do more than improve glucose levels and help prevent hypoglycemia? New research raises that possibility. A large observational study examining CGM use and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes found that starting continuous glucose monitoring was associated with a lower risk of death among older …

Managing glucose is rarely simple for people with Type 2 diabetes who receive maintenance hemodialysis. Dialysis can change glucose patterns, insulin needs, and the reliability of familiar measures such as A1C. As a result, clinicians may have an incomplete picture when making treatment decisions. New randomized research on CGM use …

The choice of human vs analogue insulin is especially important for people with Type 1 diabetes who live where healthcare resources are limited. Analogue insulins are often preferred because their action can be more predictable and flexible. However, human insulin is generally less expensive and may be easier for health …

A patient develops diabetes in adulthood, so Type 2 diabetes may seem like the obvious diagnosis. However, what if that patient also has chronic pancreatitis, unexplained weight loss, pancreatic surgery, or symptoms of poor nutrient absorption? Those details can change the clinical picture. Careful evaluation can reveal Type 3c diabetes …

Blood glucose may improve dramatically after metabolic or bariatric surgery. Yet, for some patients, a very different glucose problem develops months or years later. Post-bariatric hypoglycemia can cause sudden drops in blood glucose after meals, with symptoms ranging from sweating and tremor to confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness. Because …

Hospital glucose management has long relied on reactive treatment strategies, especially sliding-scale insulin protocols that respond to blood glucose after it has already risen. While this approach remains common, healthcare systems are increasingly exploring AI solutions for inpatient diabetes care that predict glucose changes before they become dangerous. Instead of …
