The human kidneys play a pivotal role in regulating blood pressure, water, and salt homeostasis, but assessment of renal function typically requires invasive methods. Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is a novel, noninvasive technique for mapping tissue-specific uptake and metabolism of deuterium-labeled tracers. This study evaluates the feasibility of renal DMI at 7-Tesla (7T) to track deuterium-labeled tracers with high spatial and temporal resolution, aiming to establish a foundation for potential clinical applications in the noninvasive investigation of renal physiology and pathophysiology.

Background: Despite advances, glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D) treated with oral antidiabetic medications (ADMs) often remains suboptimal. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has shown promise in diabetes management, offering real-time insights into glucose trends. This study evaluates the impact of transitioning from conventional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) to CGM on glycemic outcomes and self-management in PwT2D receiving oral ADMs.

Objective: To validate a student patient education assessment rubric for initiation of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) by measuring the inter-rater reliability (IRR).

Methods: Second and third-year pharmacy students at two institutions were evaluated on their ability to counsel a patient on the initial set up and use of a CGM device, either Dexcom G6 or FreeStyle Libre 2, during a practical assessment. Utilizing a standardized rubric, faculty evaluators evaluated each student.

Introduction: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides real-time glucose data for people with diabetes. However, detailed knowledge of its use in daily life remains limited. We aim to investigate the interaction between people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their CGM data and the impact of the interaction on glycaemia and diabetes distress.

Aims: Identifying non-glycemic factors associated with high Glucose variability (GV).

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study recruited people with type 2 diabetes, who wore a Freestyle Libre Pro CGM.

Independent Variables: Age, sex, BMI, diabetes medication, diabetes duration, HbA1c and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
