Article Abstract

Introduction: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies have been advancing rapidly, but evidence on their comparative effectiveness stills limited to date yet. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate and investigate the impact of CGM systems on glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes.

Methods: We searched electronic literature databases from inception through April 30, 2025, for comparative studies investigating CGM systems with standard monitoring or different CGM technologies in adults with type 1 diabetes. Primary outcomes included HbA1c reduction, time in range (TIR), and hypoglycemia reduction. We performed random-effects meta-analyses, network meta-analysis, and subgroup analyses by baseline HbA1c and intervention duration. Evidence quality was assessed using GRADE methodology.

Results: Twenty-seven studies with total of 2975 participants were included. CGM significantly reduced HbA1c compared to standard monitoring (mean difference: 0.38 %, 95 % CI: 0.49 to -0.27 %). TIR increased by 7.9 % (95 % CI: 5.8-10.0 %), representing 114 additional minutes daily in best range. Real-time CGM showed advantages over intermittently scanned CGM for TIR (+5.63 %, P-value<0.001) and hypoglycemia reduction (-1.28 %, P-value<0.001). Automated closed-loop systems achieved the highest ranking in network meta-analysis (SUCRA = 0.92). Benefits were greater among patients with higher baseline HbA1c (>8.5 %: 0.68 % reduction in HbA1c vs. <7.5 %: 0.24 % reduction in HbA1c, P-value = 0.009).

Conclusions: CGM technologies significantly improve glycemic control in adults with type 1 diabetes, with greater benefits for those with higher baseline HbA1c. Advanced systems demonstrate progressively greater improvements, with automated closed-loop systems showing the strongest evidence of effectiveness. These findings support broader implementation of CGM technologies, with selection tailored to individual patient needs.

Aims: Chronic ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are leading causes of vision loss in older adults. While sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are widely prescribed in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), their effects on ocular disease risk remain largely unknown.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between SGLT2i use and the risk of AMD and other age-related ocular conditions in adults aged ≥60 with T2DM, using a target trial emulation framework based on the TriNetX global health research network (2013-2025).

Aims: Diabetes is a global public health crisis, especially when it is accompanied by microvascular complications such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between the combined lifestyle factors of diabetes patients and their joint effects with genetic risk and the risk of DKD.

Materials And Methods: We included individuals diagnosed with diabetes at baseline from UK Biobank.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) is frequently resistant to conventional treatments. Botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) is a recommended option for focal peripheral NP, but the dynamics of its effect in real-life conditions remain poorly characterized.

Objective: To assess BT-A efficacy in a real-world study of patients with focal peripheral NP, over a 1-year follow-up period.

Objectives: Postoperative pain remains a significant concern in endodontics. The main aim of this clinical trial was to assess the impact of various obturation technique and sealer types on post-obturation pain and sealer extrusion in single-visit nonsurgical root canal treatments.

Materials And Methods: Study participants were recruited through consecutive sampling from patients referred to the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Institution University, diagnosed as asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
