Article Abstract

Purpose: The aim was to describe experiences of the reconciliation process when living with insulin treated diabetes.

Methods: The study has a qualitative descriptive design, based upon nineteen in- depth interviews with persons diagnosed with insulin treated diabetes, analysed using qualitative content analysis.

Results: The study show the reconciliation process during different time periods that appeared as domains in the interviews. The time at diagnosis showed experiences of striving for control getting insights and knowledge. It meant striving for control of life circumstance changes, supported by professionals but also from others. In Presence showed developing strategies as a tool struggling for balance in body and life and the need of evaluating relations to others. Future was sometimes avoided as this might lead to speculations about a future life with threats and uncertainty about disease complications, as well as adaption. This meant on the same time an uncertainty, as a degree of risk-taking and hope for the best.

Conclusions: Persons with insulin treated diabetes need to develop flexible strategies for daily life to continuously re-evaluate their planning for attaining reconciliation. A conclusion is also that these persons need to develop a flexible regime that facilitates both quality of life and medical outcomes to reach reconciliation.

The increasing demand for efficient recombinant insulin production necessitates the development of scalable, high-yield, and cost-effective bioprocesses. In this study, we engineered a novel mini-proinsulin (nMPI) with enhanced expression properties by shortening the C-peptide and incorporating specific residue substitutions to eliminate the need for enzymatic cleavage. To optimize its production, we applied a hybrid approach combining microscale high-throughput cultivation using the BioLector microbioreactor and statistical modeling via response surface methodology (RSM).

Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite its growing prevalence, no FDA-approved pharmacological treatments exist, leaving lifestyle modifications as the primary intervention. AFLD pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and inflammation, highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic approaches.

Purpose Of The Review: This review aimed to summarize current evidence on the effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in the management of obesity and endometriosis, with a focus on dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and Ketogenic diets, as well as nutritional supplementation. Additionally, it highlights the central role of the clinical nutritionist in implementing individualized, evidence-based interventions within multidisciplinary care.

Recent Findings: Although the literature reports the existence of an inverse relationship between risk of endometriosis and body mass index, clinical evidence jointly reports that a condition of obesity is associated with greater disease severity.

Introduction: This post hoc analysis of an A Toujeo Observational Study (ATOS) aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) in high-risk subgroups of insulin-naïve people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) from multiple geographical regions (Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe).

Methods: In these post hoc analyses of ATOS, a real-world, 12-month, prospective study included 4422 insulin-naïve adults (age ≥ 18 years) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) uncontrolled (HbA > 7% and ≤ 11%) on one or more oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) who initiated Gla-300 treatment as per routine practice. Primary and secondary endpoints were studied according to renal impairment (RI) status (without or with) and age group ( View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia and associated with severe complications, including cardiovascular diseases, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Although synthetic antidiabetic drugs are available, the side effects and limited long-term effectiveness of these medications highlight the urgent need for safer, more potent alternative therapies.
