Glycemic variability: Measurement, target, impact on complications of diabetes and does it really matter?
AbstractOver the past two decades, there has been continuous advancement in the accuracy and complexity of continuous glucose monitoring devices. Continuous glucose monitoring provides valuable insights into blood glucose dynamics, and can record glucose fluctuations accurately and completely. Glycemic variability (GV) is a straightforward measure of the extent to which a patient's blood glucose levels fluctuate between high peaks and low nadirs. Many studies have investigated the relationship between GV and complications, primarily in the context of type  2 diabetes. Nevertheless, the exact contribution of GV to the dev...

The association between alcohol drinking and glycemic management among people with type 2 diabetes in China
ConclusionsHeavy alcohol drinking might have a negative effect on glycemic management among patients with type 2 diabetes irrespective of the use of anti-diabetes agents in regional China. This study has important public health implications regarding precision intervention on patients' glycemia control for type 2 diabetes management. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

MiR ‐488‐3p facilitates wound healing through CYP1B1‐mediated Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway by targeting MeCP2
ConclusionsMiR-488-3p is a potential therapeutic target for diabetic wound healing since it improved wound healing by activating the CYP1B1-mediated Wnt4/-catenin signaling cascadevia MeCP2. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Effects of hybrid closed ‐loop system on glycemic control and psychological aspects in persons with type 1 diabetes treated with sensor‐augmented pump: A prospective single‐center observational study
ConclusionsThe hybrid closed-loop system decreased hyperglycemia and minimized hypoglycemia, but did not improve psychological aspects compared with the predictive low-glucose suspend system, probably because sensor calibration was increased. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Delayed dinnertime impairs glucose tolerance in healthy young adults
We investigated the relationship between mealtime delays of up to 3 hours and subsequent glucose fluctuations in healthy young adults. After assessing glucose responses using intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring devices (isCGM), the peak glucose elevation, and incremental area under the curve (iAUC) of postprandial glucose during certain intervals increased significantly when the time between lunch and dinner was delayed by 1 h or more. Our findings support the importance of improving irregular mealtime habits, such as late eating. AbstractTo explore the relationship between mealtime delays of up to 3  h ...

Mandatory monthly outpatient visits could improve therapeutic inertia in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes
ConclusionsMandatory monthly outpatient visits could improve therapeutic inertia in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, especially in those with worsened control. The trajectory of HbA1c could significantly influence the assessment of the prevalence of therapeutic inertia. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Pituitary gland agouti ‐related peptide cells: Novel player controlling glucose metabolism
The liver synthesizes and releases bile acids into the gut. Bile acids, either directly or indirectly, inhibit agouti-related peptide (AGRP)-B cells in the pars tuberalis of the pituitary gland. AGRP-B cells are assumed to promote pancreatic insulin secretion and/or to improve insulin sensitivities in insulin sensitive organs, resulting in improved glucose tolerance.
