A recent consensus report on hyperglycemic crises included recommendations for calculating the subcutaneous insulin dose when transitioning from intravenous insulin. In 95 patients admitted for hyperosmolar hyperglycemic crisis, there were no significant differences in post-transition glycemic control between patients who met the consensus recommendations and those who did not.

Aim
Studies evaluating the cardiovascular safety of pioglitazone show inconsistent results and ischemic heart disease (IHD) risks associated with different anti-diabetic drugs added to metformin uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are not assessed. This study aimed to evaluate IHD risk associated with pioglitazone and/or insulin added to patients with metformin uncontrolled T2DM.
Methods
Data were extracted from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan. A total of 19,952 patients with T2DM uncontrolled on metformin received pioglitazone and/or insulin added to metformin were included.
Results
Compared to those who never received pioglitazone and/or insulin, patients receiving both insulin and pioglitazone had higher cumulative risk of IHD (adjusted HR [aHR] = 1.911, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.506–2.351), pioglitazone alone (aHR = 1.446, 95 % CI: 1.111–1.775), and insulin alone (aHR = 1.351, 95 % CI: 1.1052–1.684) (all, p < 0.05). Patients who received both pioglitazone and insulin had a higher cumulative risk of IHD than those who received insulin or pioglitazone as well as a similar result in the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) of the drugs.
Conclusion
Administering pioglitazone plus insulin to patients with T2DM uncontrolled on metformin may increase the risk of IHD, suggesting that other second-line anti-diabetes drugs may be a better choice for patients with T2DM uncontrolled on metformin.

Aims
To assess the clinical features and outcomes of patients diagnosed with DKA who were hospitalized for conditions outside of internal medicine.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of admissions for DKA in adult patients between 2005 and 2022 at a tertiary hospital in Israel. Patients with DKA were stratified into medical vs non-medical groups, the primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
Results
429 patients were included in the study, 385 patients (89.7 %) were treated by an internal medicine team, while 44 patients (10.3 %) were hospitalized with surgical or obstetrical conditions. Patients in the non-internal medicine group were older (52 ± 18.9 vs 43.6 ± 20.4, p < 0.005) and had higher rates of diabetes complications such as chronic ischemic heart disease (20.5 % vs. 4.2 %, p < 0.0001) and chronic kidney disease (50 % vs. 3.4 %, p < 0.001). Glucose level on presentation was lower for non-internal medicine patients (398 ± 221 mg/dL vs 551 ± 180 mg/dL) and outcomes of mechanical ventilation and length of hospitalization were more severe (29.5 % vs. 6 %, p < 0.001 and 8.0 vs. 3.0, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that composite outcome of in-hospital mortality, ICU admission and longer hospitalization was more likely in the non-internal medicine group (OR 3.99, CI 1.89–8.4, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
DKA is a universal pathology that concerns various medical fields. It is essential for every clinician to be familiar with this condition. Patients diagnosed with DKA who were hospitalized for conditions outside of internal medicine may be at high risk and may present with lower glycemic levels. Future research is needed to characterize the unique features of subgroups of patients with DKA.

Aims
To estimate whether a mix of pre- and probiotics would strengthen the gut barrier and protect the kidneys in individuals with type 1 diabetes and albuminuria.
Methods
Randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Forty-one participants received synbiotic (pre- and probiotics) mix or placebo for 12 weeks with 6 weeks washout. Primary endpoint was change from baseline to end-of-period in UACR. Secondary endpoints were changes in endothelial glycocalyx thickness, inflammatory and intestinal barrier dysfunction markers, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ambulatory systolic blood pressure.
Results
Thirty-five participants completed the study. Mean age was 58 (SD 10) years, 73 % (n = 30) were male, median UACR was 134 (IQR 63–293) mg/g, estimated GFR was 75 (30) ml/min/1.73m2. There was no significant difference in UACR with a mean relative change (CI 95 %) from baseline to end-of-treatment of −3.0 (−18.4; 15.5) % in the synbiotic group and −12.0 (−29.6; 9.6) % in the placebo group with no significant difference between treatment periods (9.37 (−25.2; 44.0) percentage points; p = 0.60). No significant beneficial difference in the secondary end points was demonstrated.
Conclusion
Twelve weeks treatment with synbiotic mix had no effect on UACR or on any of the secondary endpoints in subjects with type 1 diabetes and albuminuria.

Background
Stress hyperglycemia is prevalent in critical illnesses and has been associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes in individuals with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, there is limited evidence for the predictive value of stress hyperglycemia and hospitalization mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ACS. This study aimed to explore the association between hospitalized mortality, stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), and admission blood glucose (ABG) in patients with CKD and ACS.
Methods
This study included 655 hospitalized patients who were diagnosed with ACS and CKD. Patients with incomplete data were excluded, resulting in the analysis of 550 patients. The primary outcome measured was in-hospital mortality.
Results
The median age of the cohort included in the analysis was 71 years, with a male proportion of 66.2 %, and a mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 27.8 mL/min/1.73 m2. Patients classified as having stage 3, stage 4, and stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) comprised 46.9 %, 17.1 %, and 36.0 % of the population, respectively. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 10.7 % (n = 59). Both SHR (OR = 2.67; 95 % CI 1.51–4.74; p < 0.001) and ABG (OR = 1.09; 95 % CI 1.04–1.14; p < 0.001) were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in CKD and ACS patients. SHR and ABG showed a linear relationship with in-hospital mortality, with SHR demonstrating superior reclassification ability over ABG. The inclusion of SHR or ABG, irrespective of diabetes mellitus status, substantially enhanced the predictive performance of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score model.
Conclusions
In patients with ACS and CKD, a robust correlation was observed between SHR, ABG, and in-hospital mortality. Both SHR and ABG improved the predictive accuracy of the GRACE score in forecasting inpatient mortality in this population.

Aims
To describe the change in impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia (IAH) over time and to identify factors associated with this change in the Dutch Type 1 Diabetes biomarkers cohort (NCT04977635).
Methods
A prospective cohort of type 1 diabetes patients, with C-peptide <300 pmol/L, who had completed the Clarke questionnaire, to determine IAH status, at baseline and after 2 years. Changes in awareness status were defined and compares as follows: unchanged normal awareness (NAH) versus unchanged IAH, new IAH versus reversal of IAH. Multivariate logistic regression models were fitted using forward and backward stepwise selection using a 0.10 P-value cut-off, and stepwise backward selection using AIC criteria.
Results
A total of 431 out of 611 participants were included. The baseline prevalence of IAH was 17 % and 20 % after 2 years. The incidence proportion of new IAH and reversal of IAH were, 9.5 % and 31 %, respectively. For every 2.7-fold increase in C-peptide, the odds of IAH decrease by 58 %. A 1-unit increase in BMI over the 2-year follow-up period is associated with a 5.27-fold increase in the odds of reversing IAH.
Conclusions
Higher C-peptide levels are protective against new IAH, and an increase in BMI over time is associated with the reversal of IAH.

Purpose
The present study aimed to evaluate the cardiac function changes using Layer-specific Speckle-tracking echocardiography (LS-STE) induced by Moderate-intensity aerobic training (MIAT) in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats.
Methods
Twenty-six rats were divided into four groups: the Control group (Con), the Training control group (CT), the T2DM group (DM), and the T2DM training group (DT). The CT and DT groups underwent an 8 weeks MIAT. Cardiac structure and function were evaluated by echocardiography and LS-STE.
Results
Compared with the Con group, left atrial diameter (LAD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD), relation wall thickness (RWT), and left ventricular mass (LVM) were significantly higher, and the endo-, mid-, and epi-longitudinal strain (LS), global radial strain (GRS), and endo- and mid-circumferential strain (CS) were significantly lower in DM rats (all p < 0.05). The endo-, mid-, and epi-LS, GRS, endo- and mid-CS were increased in DT rats compared with DM rats (all p < 0.05). Compared with Con rats, CT rats had a significant increase in LVEDD and LVM (all p < 0.05), meanwhile myocardial strains had no significant differences (all p > 0.05).
Conclusion
LS-STE was a sensitive method to assess subclinical myocardial changes in T2DM rats. MIAT had the benefit of reversing cardiac systolic subclinical dysfunction in T2DM rats.

Oxygen-free radicals have been implicated in the initiation of diabetic complications. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), known for their antidiabetic properties, also demonstrate notable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Although a recently developed imidazolyl analogue of pioglitazone (PA9) has exhibited superior glucose-lowering efficacy compared to pioglitazone, its antioxidant effects remain unexplored. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the antioxidant properties of PA9 in animal models with diabetes.
Rats were randomly separated into the following four groups: control, diabetic, and two groups treated orally with pioglitazone as a standard drug and PA9 for ten days. Upon completion of the experiment, tissues from the liver, heart, brain, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys were collected to assess oxidant/antioxidant markers and histological alterations. The administration of PA9 resulted in a noteworthy reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels compared to the diabetic group (p < 0.05). The group receiving PA9 displayed elevated levels of three antioxidant markers, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total thiol, in pancreatic tissue compared to diabetic rats (p < 0.05).
Furthermore, increased content of CAT was evident in the heart (p < 0.05), spleen (p < 0.001), brain, and kidney tissues in the PA9-treated group, along with augmented thiol content in the spleen compared to the diabetic group. Remarkably, no significant histological changes were observed in the liver, pancreas, heart, brain, spleen, and kidneys of the PA9-treated groups relative to diabetic rats. PA9 effectively mitigates oxidative stress, modulates redox homeostasis, and shows promise in preventing diabetic complications. The proven safety profile of this analogue underscores its potential, warranting comprehensive clinical evaluation to thoroughly understand its therapeutic scope and efficacy in the management of diabetes.
