BACKGROUND: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the chronic inflammation and cause of endothelial dysfunction (ED). Heart rate variability (HRV) is a marker of sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous system dysfunction. We investigated the association of lipid profile, inflammatory biomarkers, endothelial dysfunction, and heart rate variability in adolescents with T1DM among UAE population. METHOD: In this case-control study we recruited 126 adolescents (13-22 years) from Abu Dhabi, UAE (United Arab Emirates)...

BACKGROUND: T1DM patients have a higher prevalence of eating disorders than the general population, and up to 30-40% of young T1DM patients suffer from an eating disorder, including diabulimia. Eating disorders worsen glycemic control and make insulin therapy management more difficult. Closed loop systems (HCLS) allow major therapeutic flexibility; however, proper carbohydrate (CHO) counting remains a fundamental feature for insulin dose adjustments. CASE REPORT: A 30-year-old female patient affected by T1DM (with a past medical history of drug abuse and depressive syndrome) presented with inadequate glycemic control and prandial boli management...

OBJECTIVES: Previous reports indicate that diabetic ketoacidosis (pDKA) rates in Malaysian children with type 1 diabetes range between 54-75%, which is higher than most European nations. Knowledge of trends and predictors of DKA can be helpful to inform measures to lower the rates of DKA. However, this data is lacking in Malaysian children. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine the predictors and trends of pDKA in Malaysian children at the initial diagnosis of T1DM. METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined demographic, clinical and biochemical data of all newly diagnosed Malaysian children aged 0-18 years with T1DM over 11 years from a single centre...

BACKGROUND: NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is becoming an increasingly common cause of chronic liver disease. Metabolic dysfunction, overweight/obesity, and diabetes are thought to be closely associated with increased NAFLD risk. However, few studies have focused on the mechanisms of NAFLD occurrence in T1DM. METHODS: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess the causal association between T1DM and NAFLD with/without complications, such as coma, renal complications, ketoacidosis, neurological complications, and ophthalmic complications...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a persistent metabolic disorder associated with the hormone insulin. The two main types of DM are type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM). Physical activity plays a crucial role in the therapy of diabetes, benefiting both types of patients. The detection, recognition, and subsequent classification of physical activity based on type and intensity are integral components of DM treatment. The continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) signal provides the blood glucose (BG) level, and the combination of CGMS and heart rate (HR) signals are potential targets for detecting relevant physical activity from the BG variation point of view...

Despite the advent of innovative therapies in the treatment of diabetes, ever-increasing awareness is still directed to the role of insulin since it has continued to be at the centre of diabetes therapy for decades, as a therapeutic integration of innovative agents in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as the only replacement therapy in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and also in gestational diabetes. In this context, the study of molecules such as weekly basal insulins, both for their technological and pharmacodynamic innovation and their manageability and undoubted benefits in compliance with drug therapy, can only be a turning point in diabetes and for all its phenotypes...

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia due to insulin insufficiency as a consequence of the pancreatic β-cells' auto-immune attack. Nowadays, the application of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSCs-Exs) as the main cell-free therapy for diabetes treatment is becoming more and more extensive. In non-autologous therapy, researchers are moving towards a new strategy based on loading MSC-Exs with certain drugs, aimed at maintaining and maximizing the function of exosomes at the function site and enhancing their efficiency and safety...
