Despite the growing evidence supporting the outpatient use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for improving glycaemic control and reducing hypoglycaemia, there is a need for a detailed understanding of the specific features of CGM devices that best meet individual patient needs. This expert opinion, based on a comprehensive literature review and the personal perspectives of clinicians, aims to provide the healthcare professionals (HCPs) with a comprehensive framework for selecting CGM devices. It evaluates the current state of CGM technology, categorizing features into essential features, major drivers of choice, and additional/useful features. Moreover, the practical model presented outlines a patient's journey with CGM, emphasising the importance of aligning device features with patient needs. This includes understanding the patient's lifestyle, clinical conditions, and personal preferences to optimize CGM use and improve diabetes management outcomes.

Purpose: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors represent major advancements in the management of type 2 diabetes. However, many patients remain suboptimally managed with these therapies. This underutilization highlights the need for practical implementation strategies in real-world settings.

The pancreatic islets of Langerhans, which are composed of α, β, δ, ε, and PP cells, orchestrate systemic glucose homeostasis through tightly regulated hormone secretion. Although the precise mechanisms involving β cells in the onset and progression of diabetes have been elucidated and insulin replacement therapy remains the primary treatment modality, the regulatory processes, functions, and specific roles of other pancreatic islet hormones in diabetes continue to be the subject of ongoing investigation. At present, a comprehensive review of the secretion and regulation of pancreatic islet cell hormones as well as the related mechanisms of diabetes is lacking.

Background: Cardiovascular health (CVH) may be influenced by early life factors, such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Prior work suggests social stressors may particularly influence CVH trajectories across the lifecourse in women; however, this relationship remains poorly understood. We used data from a prospective longitudinal cohort study to evaluate associations of ACEs with CVH and its components among midlife women (mean 51.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) requires rigorous glycemic control to prevent complications, but traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) offers limited insights. Real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) provides dynamic data to optimize management, although its efficacy in T2D remains debated. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate RT-CGM's impact on glycemic outcomes in adults with T2D.
