A 15-day integrated continuous glucose monitor registered accurate glucose values similar to those measured through venous blood samples, according to a presenter.

Technosphere insulin, a rapid-acting human insulin administrated through an inhaler, was associated with reductions in HbA1c at 30 weeks for adults with type 1 diabetes, according to findings from the INHALE-3 extension trial.

Data from the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes at University of Colorado show pilots with type 1 diabetes are not just thriving in the air, but also with their diabetes management.

Adults with type 1 diabetes who initiated treatment with a bionic pancreas at a primary care site experienced similar glycemic benefits as those starting the device through an endocrinologist, researchers reported.

Adults with type 1 diabetes have greater reductions in body weight and HbA1c after using off-label semaglutide or tirzepatide than those not using either drug, according to data published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics.

The prevalence of diabetes is increasing faster in some low-income countries than elsewhere in the world, generating concerns about health care infrastructure and access to treatment for people in those regions.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, or SGLT2, inhibitors may be more cardioprotective for older adults, whereas glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists may confer greater HbA1c reductions in that population, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The use of a continuous glucose monitor during pregnancy may be more cost-effective than self-monitoring blood glucose for women with type 1 diabetes, according to a brief report published in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics.

Adults with type 1 diabetes who partake in weight cycling and repeatedly lose and regain body weight are more likely to develop diabetic kidney disease, researchers reported in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

A report from The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission has proposed new criteria for defining and diagnosing obesity, including measuring body fat to diagnose obesity instead of BMI alone.
