Hospitalisation for herpes zoster in people with and without diabetes: A 10-year-observational study
Herpes zoster (HZ), more commonly known as shingles, is a painful rash caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. From the epidemiological point of view, it is estimated that up to one in three people in the US will develop shingles in their lifetime [1]. Most of these cases are self-limited and can be managed out patiently, but severe cases can lead to hospitalisation. More severe rashes, particularly those that affect the face or the eyes, may be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, headache, and fatigue and require hospitalisation [2].

International Diabetes Federation Position Statement on the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose for the diagnosis of intermediate hyperglycaemia and type 2 diabetes
Many individuals with intermediate hyperglycaemia (IH), including impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), as presently defined, will progress to type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is confirmatory evidence that T2D can be prevented by lifestyle modification and/or medications, in people with IGT diagnosed by 2-h plasma glucose (PG) during a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Over the last 40  years, a wealth of epidemiological data has confirmed the superior value of 1-h plasma glucose (PG) over fasting PG (FPG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and 2-h PG in populations of different ethnicity...

Correlational analysis of PLIN1 with inflammation in diabetic foot ulcer wounds
The persistent presence of inflammation is a recognized pathogenic mechanisms of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). We aimed to investigate the expression of PLIN1 in tissues from DFU patients and assess its potential association with inflammation-induced damage. (Source: Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

The association between patterns of weight change, diabetes status and glycaemia among adults with overweight and obesity
Type 2 diabetes has become a major public health challenge, affecting 5.9% of the population worldwide in 2021 [1]. One of the leading risk factors for type 2 diabetes is obesity [2]. In 2019, 14.0% of adults aged 18 years and over had obesity worldwide [3] while the prevalence of obesity in England was much higher, with 28% of adults having obesity [4]. Studies have shown higher risks of diabetes in adults who are overweight or obese. Therefore, reducing obesity was a key strategy to prevent diabetes in the population at high risk.

Consistent glycaemic efficacy and safety of concomitant use of iGlarLixi and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor therapy for type 2 diabetes: A patient-level pooled analysis of three randomised clinical trials
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex, heterogeneous disease affecting a high proportion of people with a spectrum of comorbidities that may influence the optimal treatment pathway for each individual [1 –3]. Cardiovascular and renal comorbidities, alongside other factors such as disease duration and patient preference, affect both the setting of glycaemic targets and choice of specific glucose-lowering medications, as advised by current American Diabetes Association (ADA) clinical guidelines [4]. Achieving sustained glycaemic control can be challenging and often requires multiple concomitant medications for its maintenance...

Carbohydrate counting knowledge and ambulatory glucose profile in persons living with type 1 diabetes
ContextThe amount of consumed carbohydrates is the strongest factor influencing glucose levels during the four hours following a meal.Our aim was to evaluate the association between carbohydrate counting knowledge and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using different insulin regimens.

Telemedicine maintains good glucose control in children with type 1 diabetes but is not time saving for healthcare professionals: KITES randomized study
Diabetes management was carried out almost exclusively via telemedicine during the covid-19 lockdowns and quickly became the standard of care worldwide [1,2]. It is estimated that this evolution might persist in the post-pandemic period [3]. The boom of telemedicine also reflects high number of recent articles reporting mostly outstanding results of distant follow-up of children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) during the pandemic [2,4]. Importantly, all these studies were designed as retrospective or surveys [1,5 –9], which limits the strength of their results that cannot lead to any definitive conclusions. (Source: Diabetes ...
