Do patients with diabetes have a different antibody response to COVID-19 vaccines compared to healthy individuals?
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.

Can high-frequency spinal cord stimulation provide relief to patients with painful diabetic nerve disease?
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.

Comparing chiglitazar and sitagliptin effectiveness on glucose variations, insulin resistance and inflammation levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This study compared the effectiveness of chiglitazar (Bilessglu) and sitagliptin (Januvia) on glycemic (blood glucose) variations, insulin resistance, and inflammation levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The data showed that chiglitazar treatment was more effective at improving insulin resistance and inflammation compared with sitagliptin in these patients.

Can physical activity affect glucose levels variations in patients with diabetes?
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.

How beneficial is sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure?
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.

Can combined therapy with sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and sulfonylureas affect the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes?
This review assessed the risk of hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood glucose) with the addition of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors to sulfonylureas in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The authors concluded that this combination was associated with an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

Do smaller late-night meals improve blood sugar increases in patients with type 2 diabetes?
This study examined if eating a divided dinner late at night had an impact on blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
They found that patients who ate a divided meal late at night improved increased blood sugar (hyperglycemia) following the meal (postprandial).
