Mean TIR achieved with manual mode was 77.3±11.3, increasing to 81.6%±7.6 (p<0.001) after two weeks of auto mode use. A significant reduction in TBR <70mg/dL (2,7%±2,28 vs 1,83%±1,67, p<0,001) and in glycemic variability (% coefficient of variation 32.4 vs 29.7, p<0.001) was evident, independently of baseline therapy.

HCL systems allows T1D patients to improve TIR, TBR and glycemic variability independently of previous treatment. Virtual training can be used during situations that limit the access of patients to follow-up centers.

To determine and analyze the factors related to anxiety and depression in patients having diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).

This two-center, cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 patients with DFU, who were receiving treatment in the outpatient diabetes foot care clinic at Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Saudi Arabia and National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Genetics, Jordan. Employing the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the anxiety and depression levels of the study population were measured. The demographic variables were also recorded.

Females displayed significantly higher anxiety (p=0.032) and depression levels (p=0.043); and those who were unmarried showed higher anxiety (p=0.042). School educated patients showed reduced degrees of anxiety (p=0.023) and depression (p=0.003) and college educated showed reduced anxiety (p=0.047) compared to uneducated. Compared to patients on treatment with diet, a significant decline was found in depression (p=0.034) levels among orally treated patients. Compared to patients on oral medication, patients with oral and insulin treatments revealed higher depression (p=0.026). selleck Higher-income patients showed a significant decline for anxiety (p=0.004). Patients who were past smokers had higher anxiety (p=0.046) than current and never had been smokers. Higher anxiety (p=0.017) was observed in patients having higher HbA1c levels, similarly, patients with three diabetes-related complications showed higher levels of anxiety (p=0.001) and depression (p=0.001).

Female gender, lower education levels, patients on oral and insulin treatments, low income, high HbA1c levels and patients experiencing a higher number of diabetes-related complications showed either higher anxiety or depression levels.

The measurement of vital signs is an important part of clinical work up. Presently, measurement of blood glucose is a factor for concern mostly when treating individuals with diabetes. Significance of blood glucose measurement in prognosis of non-diabetic and hospitalized patients is not clear.

A systematic search of literature published in the Electronic databases, PubMed and Google Scholar was performed using following keywords; blood glucose, hospital admissions, critical illness, hospitalizations, cardiovascular disease (CVD), morbidity, and mortality. This literature search was largely restricted to non-diabetic individuals.

Blood glucose level, even when in high normal range, or in slightly high range, is an important determinant of morbidity and mortality, especially in hospitalized patients. Further, even slight elevation of blood glucose may increase mortality in patients with COVID-19. Finally, blood glucose variability and hypoglycemia in critically ill individuals without diabetes causes excess in-hospital complications and mortality.

In view of these data, we emphasize the significance of blood glucose measurement in all patients admitted to the hospital regardless of presence of diabetes. We propose that blood glucose be included as the "fifth vital sign" for any hospitalized patient.

It is not known if new onset diabetes during Coronavirus-19 disease (COVID-19; NOD COVID) is phenotypically or biochemically different than new onset diabetes before COVID-19 (NOD).

All adults diagnosed with new onset diabetes from during the time of COVID-19 were compared with new onset diabetes prior to COVID-19 from two tertiary care hospitals in Chennai and Delhi. RTPCR test for SARS-CoV-2 virus was done as appropriate, and COVID-19 antibody test was done in all other NOD COVID patients.

A total of 555 patients with new onset diabetes were included in the study (282 NOD and 273 NOD COVID patients). Patients with NOD COVID had higher fasting and post prandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels vs. NOD patients. Both the groups had high average body mass index; ∼28kg/m

. Interestingly, fasting C-peptide levels were significantly higher in the NOD COVID group vs. NOD group. There was no difference in C-peptide levels or glycemic parameters between the COVID-19 antibody positive and negative NOD COVID cases.

Individuals who were diagnosed with diabetes during COVID-19 epidemic (NOD COVID) do not significantly differ from those diagnosed before COVID-19 in symptomatology, phenotype, and C-peptide levels but they had more severe glycemia.

According to current diagnostic criteria for transverse myelitis and NMOSD, clinical worsening should not exceed 3-4 weeks from attack onset. Recently, we were able to document, through frequent clinical examination and radiological follow-up, the unusual case of an ab initio progressive myelopathy, ultimately attributed to aquaporin-4 autoimmunity. Although this case might merely represent an overlooked cluster of individual clinical attacks, it could, however, draw attention to the controversial concept of disease progression in the context of NMOSD.
