Effects of novel glucose-lowering drugs on the COVID-19 patients with diabetes: A network meta-analysis of clinical outcomes
ConclusionsAs revealed by the result of this study, SGLT2i is associated with the lower mortality rate in people with diabetes and COVID-19 among novel glucose-lowering drugs. And SGLT2i is linked to lower requiring mechanical ventilation. These findings can have a large impact on clinicians' decisions amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes mellitus guidelines by DIPSI (Revised)
AbstractGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is diabetes that appears during pregnancy, presenting an opportunity for early testing and care to prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs). GDM has short-term impacts on both mother and offspring and increases the risk of future diabetes, including type-2 diabetes, due to possible epigenetic changes. Therefore, it is crucial to screen all pregnant women for glucose intolerance with an economical and reliable test recommended by DIPSI and approved by the Ministry of Health& Family Welfare Government of India. Treatment to achieve euglycemia can prevent the epidemic of NCD. Po...
