Reviewing the significance of very low carbohydrate diets in type 2 diabetes.
This study compared the effect of very low carbohydrate (VLC) or ketogenic diets (KDs) with higher carbohydrate diets in patients with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data showed that reduced levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and triglycerides may occur with VLC or KDs, but with limited advantages over other diets.

Can cardiovascular risk factors be reduced by consumption of soymilk and probiotics in patients with type 2 diabetes?
This study examined the effects of consuming soymilk and probiotics on risk factors related to heart and blood vessel diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study showed that the consumption of soymilk with probiotics might improve cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in these patients.

Can autologous cell therapy improve severe diabetic foot disease?
This study looked at the use of autologous cell therapy (ACT) to treat no-option chronic limb-threatening ischemia (NO-CLTI) in patients with diabetic patients. The study showed that compared to standard treatment, ACT resulted in a significant improvement in ischemia and food healing in these patients.

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.

Can vitamin B12 supplementation improve the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes?
This review assessed the effect of vitamin B12 supplementation on clinical outcomes when used alone or combined with other treatments for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PN). The authors concluded that a greater reduction of PN symptoms occurred with the use of B12 supplementation alone or in combination with other treatments compared to placebo.

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.

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.

How safe and effective is dapagflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes based on blood pressure levels?
This study analyzed the safety and effectiveness of dapagliflozin (Farxiga) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across different ranges of baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP; blood pressure when the heart beats). The data suggested that dapagliflozin reduced the risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and kidney-related outcomes and was safe for use across different levels of SBP without causing an increase in short-term (acute) kidney injury, dehydration, or amputations in patients.
