CGM metrics may be better for determining diabetes intervention efficacy than HbA1c
Change in mean glucose may be a better metric for measuring the efficacy of diabetes interventions than HbA1c, time in range and time above range, according to a speaker.
Type 2 diabetes predictors may identify worse long-term HbA1c
Data from previous HbA1c levels, fasting plasma glucose, duration of type 2 diabetes and diabetes medication use may predict long-term glycemic profile, researchers reported in Clinical Epidemiology.
Top in endocrinology: Flash glucose monitoring; top news of 2022
In a recent study, researchers found that adults with prediabetes who wore a flash glucose monitoring sensor reported high satisfaction and said it influenced them to make positive behavior changes based on their glucose levels.
Postload glucose levels tied to incident AF in older women
In older adults, elevated postload glucose levels were associated with incident atrial fibrillation, particularly in women, researchers reported in Heart.
Flash glucose monitoring feasible as prevention tool for adults with prediabetes
A small cohort of adults with prediabetes responded favorably toward wearing flash glucose monitoring sensors for 28 days to track glucose and slow their progression toward diabetes, according to a brief report published in Diabetes Care.
Progressive beta cell dysfunction may be primary driver of impaired glucose tolerance
Loss of beta cell function serves as the basis for progression from normal glucose tolerance to impaired glucose tolerance, but insulin clearance may not be a major factor in the development of dysglycemia, according to a speaker.
Time-restricted eating improves cardiometabolic markers among most adults
Adults partaking in time-restricted eating have greater decreases in body weight, fat mass, fasting blood glucose and other cardiometabolic markers compared with controls, according to findings from a systematic review and meta-analysis.
High HbA1c, glucose variability predict comorbidity risk in youth-onset type 2 diabetes
Young people with youth-onset type 2 diabetes are more likely to have comorbidities if they have a higher HbA1c and greater glucose variability after diagnosis, according to findings from the TODAY study.
Non-nutritive sweeteners alter microbiome composition, glycemia in healthy adults
Non-nutritive artificial sweeteners may alter the intestinal and oral microbiome as well as glycemic levels of healthy adults with no cardiometabolic complications, according to a study published in Cell.
ADA, EASD update consensus report on managing hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes
The American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes released an updated consensus statement on the management of hyperglycemia among adults with type 2 diabetes.
