Patient perceptions of insulin therapy in diabetes self-management with insulin injection devices
ConclusionsWhen asked to compare the attributes of a non-connected insulin pen with those of a new connected device, 71% of patients rated the new proposal “very useful”. The cognitive burden associated with self-management of diabetes therapy may influence preferences for advanced insulin delivery systems. (Source: Acta Diabetologica)

Effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on kidney, cardiovascular, and safety outcomes in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsAmong patients with advanced CKD, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risks of primary kidney and CV outcomes and attenuated the progressive decrease in eGFR compared with placebo, with no evidence of additional safety concerns. These observed benefits may support continuing the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with advanced CKD before initiating maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation. Future large-scale RCTs are needed to confirm the robustness of these results. (Source: Acta Diabetologica)

Compensatory mechanisms from different exercise intensities in type 2 diabetes: a secondary analysis of a 1-year randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsBoth MICT and HIIT did not result in any compensatory changes in estimated NEAT and NEPA with the intervention on non-training days. Moreover, no changes in estimated NEAT and NEPA were found when categorizing our participants as low-responders and high-responders to FM and BW when compared to controls.Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov ID.NCT03144505.
