This study determined the effect of varying carbohydrate and saturated fat dietary contents on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors during weight-loss maintenance. The authors concluded that restriction of carbohydrates provided improved insulin resistance on lipoprotein metabolism, without unwanted side effects on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or inflammation.

This study assessed the link between metformin (Glucophage) use in hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients with diabetes and different outcomes due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The study showed that metformin use was associated with a protective effect in COVID-19 outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

This study evaluated the effect of whole grain consumption in glycaemic (blood sugar) control of patients with diabetes. The data showed that whole grain consumption was beneficial for the control of blood glucose levels in these patients.

This review evaluated the effect of prolonged fenofibrate (Tricor) treatment on the need for retinal laser treatment for diabetic eye disease in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data showed a reduced need for retinal laser treatment in these patients compared to placebo.

This study evaluated the antibody response and side effects associated with COVID-19 vaccines administration in patients with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), people without diabetes. The data showed similar immune responses in patients with and without diabetes after the second COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of glucose control.

This study evaluated the long-term impact of 10-kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN; nerve disease) and refractory symptoms. The data supported the use of 10-kHz SCS for important, durable pain relief over 12 months in these patients.

This study evaluated the effect of physical activity interventions on glycemic variability (GV; glucose levels variations) in patients with diabetes. The data showed that physical activity was associated with significantly reduced GV in these patients.

This study reviewed the long-term use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on the risk of mortality and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF). The authors concluded that long-term use of SGLT-2 inhibitors can help to reduce mortality risk and HHF in these patients.

This study evaluated the safety of anti-diabetic drugs in the risk of fractures based on available data from clinical trials. The data showed differences in associations between the use of anti-diabetic drugs and fracture risk.

This study investigated the link between vitamin D deficiency and high blood pressure in women with gestational diabetes (GD). It found that low vitamin D was associated with high blood pressure mainly in white women, rather than women with darker skin tones.
