Do some anti-diabetic medications affect the risk of fractures in patients with type 2 diabetes?
This analysis investigated the relationship between anti-diabetic medications and the risk of fractures in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data showed that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) and sulfonylurea (SU) provided better protection against fractures compared to thiazolidinedione (TZD) or dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) while sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) increased the risk of fractures compared to GLP1-RAs.

How can counselling affect pancreatic beta-cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes?
This study analyzed the long-term effect of behavioral counseling on increasing daily physical activity (PA) and reducing sedentary (SED) time on changes in beta-cell (β-cell) function and glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The authors concluded that increasing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and reducing SED time can effectively preserve the β-cell function of the pancreas and improve glucose control in these patients.

Is intermittent fasting safe and effective for individuals with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes?
This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of intermittent fasting (IF) for 3 non-consecutive days a week, over a period of 12 weeks in people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D). The authors concluded that this dietary approach was safe and effective for controlling blood glucose, reducing total daily insulin requirements, and decreasing body weight in participants with T2D.

How does physical activity affect the occurrence of major diabetes-related complications?
This study evaluated evidence on the association between physical activity and major diabetes-related complications in patients with diabetes. The authors concluded that physical activity was associated with a reduction in the occurrence of major diabetes-related complications, even if performed at levels lower than recommended.

Can the onset of type 1 diabetes be delayed with vitamin D supplementation in children and adolescents?
This study reviewed the effect of high-dose vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) supplementation on delaying the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed T1D. The authors recommended maintaining a safe and effective high-dose vitamin D2 concentration of 30-60 ng/mL for delaying the onset of T1D in these patients.

Is real time glucose monitoring better than intermittent scanning for patients with type 1 diabetes?
This study compared intermittent scanning continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) with real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). It found that compared to isCGM, rt CGM resulted in increased time spent in range and improved blood glucose control in these patients.

Evaluating the effectiveness of laser photocoagulation plus anti-VEGF treatment in patients with diabetic eye disease.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) plus intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment versus PRP alone for the treatment of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR; diabetic eye disease). The data showed that PRP with anti-VEGF combination treatment improved vision without an increase in side effects compared to PRP alone in these patients.
