Introduction and Objective: Autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1) is a hereditary disease caused by activating mutation of calcium – sensing receptor (CASR) gene, manifested as low parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, hypocalcemia and hypercalciuria. Its clinical manifestations range from mild asymptomatic to severe hypocalcemia, which may be accompanied by epileptic seizures in severe cases. To […]

Introduction and Objective: The rising prevalence of obesity and metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, highlights the need for effective dietary strategies to improve health outcomes. The Mediterranean diet has been well studied and shown to reduce chronic disease risk through its beneficial effects on body composition and glucose metabolism. The Australian Guide to […]

Introduction and Objective: Youth with T1D and elevated HbA1c experience higher rates of short- and long-term complications. While individuals from some racial and ethnic groups are at greater risk of disparities in HbA1c due to systemic barriers and discrimination, less is known about the impact on family functioning amongst youth already experiencing elevated HbA1c. This […]

Introduction and Objective: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is characterized by a set of metabolic abnormalities, such as pathological adipose tissue (WAT) accumulation, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Two major components linking pathological WAT function and MASLD to T2D are perturbed cellular redox homeostasis and the onset of chronic deregulation of inflammatory […]

Introduction and Objective: Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) face a high risk of type 2 diabetes, making lifestyle change for prevention essential. Cost and accessibility are barriers to lifestyle change programs. This study evaluated the relationship between patient activation and engagement with diabetes prevention strategies in women with a history of […]

Introduction and Objective: Health literacy reflects the ability to make appropriate health decisions and affects health outcomes. It therefore is an important parameter in patient care. Health literacy in patients undergoing coronary angiography is unclear and is addressed in the present study.Methods: We enrolled 697 consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography for the evaluation of established […]

Introduction and Objective: Discrimination can lower self-esteem and undermine self-care and health seeking behaviors, but its impact on young people with diabetes is poorly studied. We assessed if perceived discrimination was associated with diabetes management among youth and young adults (YYA) with youth-onset type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional […]

Introduction and Objective: Despite the increase in the use of anti-obesity medication (AOM) since the approval of glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, the changes in cardiometabolic risk profile after discontinuation of AOM in real-life are still unknown, challenging the projection of long-term value. The aim of this study was to project the trajectory of body-mass index (BMI) […]

Introduction and Objective: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a common complication of diabetes, presenting in patients with T1D and T2D. We aimed to compare DFU characteristics and outcomes stratified by T1 vs T2DM.Methods: All patients with a DFU hospitalized in an Atlanta Hospital between 01/2019 – 12/2021 were included. T1D and T2D status were determined […]

Introduction and Objective: Achieving optimal postprandial glucose control is a primary goal in managing type 1 diabetes. While insulin delivery prior to meals is recommended for tighter glucose control, many individuals do not adhere to this practice for various reasons. Meal announcements in conjunction with Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) systems play a pivotal role […]
