Background: This study was performed to assess the effect of preablation glycemic control on atrial fibrillation recurrence rates after heart valve surgery concomitant with Cox-Maze IV ablation.
Methods: Twelve-month preablation trends in glycemic control were studied. Recurrence and clinical outcome data were obtained during a mean follow-up period of 36.7 ± 23.3 months postablation.
Results: Higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at the time of ablation was associated with higher postablation recurrence rates. The cumulative atrial fibrillation recurrence-free survival of patients with HbA1c ≥7.5% at the time of operation at 12, 24, 36 and 48 months was 97.1, 78.3, 54.2, and 36.3%, respectively ( < 0.001), and 100, 84.9, 37.2, and 16.2% for patients who preoperatively had an upward trend in HbA1c, respectively ( < 0.001).
Conclusion: Maintaining a downward trend in HbA1c during the 12-month period before the operation and an HbA1c value < 7.5% at the time of the operation reduced the recurrence of AF among patients who underwent heart valve surgery concomitant with the Cox-Maze IV procedure.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a fairly new class of agents for diabetes that have demonstrated significant benefits in glycemic control and cardiovascular outcomes with outpatient use. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the effect of SGLT2i use on glycemic control and clinical outcomes in the hospital setting.An electronic search of PubMed was conducted to analyze publications that assessed the inpatient use of SGLT2i and included patients with diabetes.

Objective: To investigate the association between long-term glycemic control and cerebral infarction risk in patients with diabetes through a large-scale cohort study.
Methods: This prospective, community-based cohort study included 12,054 patients with diabetes. From 2006 to 2012, 38,272 fasting blood glucose (FBG) measurements were obtained from these participants.

Background: This study aimed to develop gluten-free bread from chickpea flour by incorporation of varying levels (0 (B-C), 2.5 (B-1), 5 (B-2), and 10 g kg (B-3)) of madımak leaf powder (MLP), and to investigate its effect on physicochemical and bioactive properties, glycemic index, texture, and sensory attributes.
Results: Moisture ranged from 229 (B-3) to 244 g kg (control), while ash content increased with MLP, reaching 47 g kg in B-3 compared to 15.

Background: The objective of this study was to compare the effects of daily consumption of white potatoes compared with white rice on cardiometabolic health in individuals with type-2 diabetes (T2D).
Objective: To determine the effects of white potato consumption compared to white rice (a commonly consumed refined grain) on indices of glycemic control and cardiovascular health in individuals with overweight or obesity and T2D.
Methods: In this randomized crossover study, comparative control trial, 24 adults with T2D [45-80 y, body mass index (kg/m) 25-40] consumed baked white potatoes (100 g) or calorie-matched white rice (75 g) daily for 12 wk, separated by a 2-wk washout, with assessments of glycemic control, lipids, inflammation, blood pressure, endothelial function, and body composition at baseline (only 1 baseline visit included as a covariate in statistical analyses), 6 wk, and 12 wk.

Insulin therapy remains a cornerstone in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in patients experiencing progressive loss of pancreatic beta-cell function or those with inadequate glycemic control despite oral antidiabetic therapy. This review synthesized clinical outcomes from 44 peer-reviewed case reports published between 2019 and 2024, identified through systematic searches in PubMed and Scopus. The included cases involved 15 males and 29 females, with patient ages ranging from 11 to 91 years (mean 53 ± 20.
