Article Abstract

Aims: to investigate if a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) protocol improves glycemic control and fitness capacity, compared to traditional moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) exercise.

Methods: 30 sedentary individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and 26 healthy controls were assigned to a 3-week HIIT or MICT protocol. Blood glucose levels by continuous glucose monitoring system and fitness status were compared before and after the study period.

Results: During workouts, blood glucose levels remained stable in HIIT exercise (+3.2 ± 16.2 mg/dl (p = 0.43)), while decreased in MICT (-27.1 ± 17.5 mg/dl (p < 0.0001)) exercise. In addition, out of the 9 training sessions, HIIT volunteers needed to take carbohydrate supplements to avoid hypoglycemia in 0.56 ± 0.9 sessions, compared to 1.83 ± 0.5 sessions (p < 0.04) in MICT individuals. In the analysis of blood glucose levels between rest and training days (24h-period), training significantly reduced mean glycemic levels in both groups, but the MICT exercise results in an increase in the frequency of hypoglycemic episodes. The response to exercise seems to be attenuated in individuals with T1D, especially in HIIT group.

Conclusion: HIIT training results in a greater glycemic stability, with reduction of hypoglycemic episodes.

Purpose: To investigate how a group-based lifestyle intervention affects food choices and if the dietary patterns at the end of the intervention are associated with incidence type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also investigated if the possible associations between diet and T2D risk were modified by the genetic risk for T2D.

Methods: Participants in the T2D-GENE study were men with prediabetes aged 50-75 years, body mass index  ≥ 25 kg/m, belonging in either low or high genetic risk score (GRS) tertile for T2D.

Functional synapses between neurons and small cell lung cancer.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of lung cancer, characterized by rapid proliferation, early metastatic spread, frequent early relapse and a high mortality rate. Recent evidence has suggested that innervation has an important role in the development and progression of several types of cancer. Cancer-to-neuron synapses have been reported in gliomas, but whether peripheral tumours can form such structures is unknown.

Existing evaluations of the National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) in England have demonstrated associated reductions in body weight, hemoglobin A1c and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this study, we examined associations between completion of the NHS DPP and incidence of T2D and 30 other long-term conditions (LTCs), including LTCs considered linked to the program's interventional goals of body weight reduction, increased physical activity and improved diet quality (LTC-L) and LTCs considered to be possibly linked to those goals (LTC-PL). We found that completers of the NHS DPP had lower incidences of T2D, LTC-L and LTC-PL compared to non-attenders.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, with a reach extending beyond the liver to include other metabolic syndrome-related disorders. Cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are recognised non-communicable disorders and often downstream complications of MASLD and share similar risk factors. However, MASLD has not been afforded parity alongside other cardiometabolic non-communicable disorders, including the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome.

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia type 1 due to a rare missense mutation: a delayed diagnosis in a man with chronic hypercalcaemia.

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) is a rare disorder that represents a minute but important part of the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia. We describe a man in his 60s who was re-referred to endocrinology because of hypercalcaemia thought to be due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that had not been followed up for 13 years. In his early 50s, the hypercalcaemia was accompanied by normal serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, normal 24-hour urinary calcium excretion and normal bone density and kidney imaging, and no parathyroid adenoma was demonstrated on neck imaging.
