Dysglycemia is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients,which is uncertain in patients with diabetes regarding to the situation of glucose control before hospitalization. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of the difference between the level of blood glucose during ICU stay and before admission to ICU upon the outcomes o...

To investigate the effects of glucose-free and glucose-containing dialysates during dialysis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients by the prospective cross-over study, and detect glucose control methods in MHD patients. A total of 66 MHD 18-75 years old patients in our hospital from Nov. 2019 to Mar. 2020 were recruited. All patients underwent...

To systematically summarize the reported prediction models for hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes, compare their performance, and evaluate their applicability in clinical practice. We selected studies according to the PRISMA, appraised studies according to the Prediction model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST), and extracted and synthesize...

Glucose is the most important substrate for proper brain functioning and development, with an increased glucose consumption in relation to the need of creating new brain structures and connections. Therefore, alterations in glucose homeostasis will inevitably be associated with changes in the development of the Nervous System. Several studies demon...

Severe and prolonged neonatal hypoglycemia can cause brain injury, while the long-term consequences of mild or transitional hypoglycemia are uncertain. As neonatal hypoglycemia is often asymptomatic it is routine practice to screen infants considered at risk, including infants of mothers with diabetes and those born preterm, small or large, with se...
We wished to determine whether peri-dialytic hypoglycemia is a clinical risk in contemporary dialysis patients using glucose containing dialysate. We measured blood glucose pre- and post-hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration, using 5.5 mmol/L glucose dialysate, and body composition by bioimpedance. Two hundred and thirty nine patients were studied, mea...

The BETTER (BEhaviors, Therapies, TEchnologies and hypoglycemic Risk in Type 1 diabetes) registry is a type 1 diabetes population surveillance system codeveloped with patient partners to address the burden of hypoglycemia and assess the impact of new therapies and technologies. The aim of this report was to describe the baseline characteristics of ...
