The present study sought to establish how much type 2 diabetics manage their blood glucose and what influences their control. It was conducted at Dessie Hospital, Ethiopia, from February to March 2023 among 465 diabetic patients. The HbA1c test, which provides a long-term estimate of blood glucose levels, was used by the researchers rather than relying on fasting blood glucose alone.
The FUTURE-AI guidelines have been developed with the aim of improving the reliability, safety, and ethical aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Although AI has revolutionized disease diagnosis and treatment prediction, many doctors and patients are wary of its use, mainly due to fears of bias, errors, and data privacy risks. To counter these, the FUTURE-AI Consortium of 117 experts from 50 countries has developed a set of recommendations that have been published in *BMJ*.
The American College of Physicians (ACP) has issued new guidelines to prevent episodic migraines among adults, specifically for primary care physicians who see patients who are not taking preventive migraine drugs previously.
The study explores how certain cells in mice that produce insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar) migrate to different organs and whether other organs, like the salivary glands, can help in insulin production. Scientists tracked the movement of these insulin-producing cells using genetic labeling techniques.
This study explores the correlation of surrogate measures of insulin resistance (IR) with coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Since direct measures of IR are inconvenient and impractical in clinical settings, the study investigates simpler substitutes, which are triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI), TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), and the ratio of triglycerides/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C). Among 2,702 T2D patients, the patients were divided into groups based on CAD status.
