Summary: This study aimed to quantify the relationship of acute glucose and insulin postprandial responses with longer-term effects on diabetes-related risk factors through a systematic review and meta-analysis of dietary intervention studies. Results showed that changes in acute postprandial glucose responses were associated with changes in fasting plasma glucose, but not with fasting insulin. Further research is needed to fully understand the impact of acute postprandial changes on long-term risk factors.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether consuming a multimeal paradigm with a low glycemic response could improve cognitive function in patients with type 2 diabetes. The results showed that the low glycemic response multimeal paradigm had some benefits for cognitive function before lunch compared to the high glycemic response multimeal paradigm.

Summary: Postprandial exercise, especially aerobic exercise, can significantly improve the glycemic response in patients with type 2 diabetes. The combination of aerobic and resistance exercise shows greater benefits in reducing post-meal blood glucose levels, with aerobic exercise performed alone or before resistance exercise showing the most advantages.

Summary: In children with type 1 diabetes, a healthy lifestyle is crucial for glycemic control and reducing inflammatory effects. Glycemic index and load are important indicators to assess the quality of food consumed. Recent studies have shown that incorporating low-glycemic-index foods into the diet can result in better glycemic stability and reduced hyperglycemic peaks.

Summary: Interrupting prolonged sitting with 6-minute bouts of simple resistance activities every 60 minutes significantly reduced postprandial glucose and insulin responses in adults with medication-controlled type 2 diabetes. Other frequencies of interruptions and potential longer-term benefits require further examination for clinical relevance.

Summary: The main goal in managing type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is to maintain optimal glycemic control, particularly postprandial glycemia, to prevent complications and improve quality of life. Postprandial blood glucose levels are influenced by various factors including dietary habits, insulin dosage adjustment, hormonal secretion, digestive function, and physical activity. Establishing meal-time routines, consuming appropriate ratios of macronutrients, and correctly adjusting insulin dosage based on meal composition have positive impacts on postprandial glycemic variability and long-term cardiometabolic health in individuals with T1DM.

Summary: Reactive postprandial hypoglycemia (RPH) is an understudied condition that lacks clinical definition and knowledge of future health implications. This study aimed to assess the glycemic response after glucose ingestion in individuals with RPH and compare it with healthy volunteers. The results showed that RPH subjects did not exhibit deteriorated insulin sensitivity or insulin resistance, and there were no significant differences in glucose-insulin curves during oral glucose tolerance tests compared to healthy controls.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate glycemic control in adults with controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus using continuous glucose monitoring system during Basalin or Lantus administration. Lantus-treated patients showed lower 24-hour MBG, MAGE, and SDBG compared to the Basalin group. Insulin glargine Lantus may be a better choice for T2DM patients with HbA1c <= 7%.

Summary: This study suggests that the type and emulsification of dietary fat are important factors in carotenoid absorption. Olive oil had higher bioaccessibility of total carotenoids compared to coconut oil, and emulsified fat showed greater absorption than nonemulsified fat. These findings support the design of excipient emulsions as potential dietary strategies for optimizing the absorption of fat-soluble compounds.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression to investigate the effect of xanthophyll intake on visual outcomes. The results showed that xanthophyll intake enhanced macular pigment optical density and decreased photostress recovery time. Improvement in visual acuity was observed only in patients with eye disease. There was a positive correlation between change in macular pigment optical density and serum lutein levels.

Summary: This study assessed the postprandial glycemic and lipid effects in middle-aged and older Singaporeans following consumption of biscuits containing okara and biovalorized okara. The results showed that biovalorized okara lowered insulin secretion, while okara improved insulin sensitivity. Additionally, biovalorized okara led to higher levels of short-chain fatty acids. However, these biscuits did not significantly affect blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride concentrations. Biovalorized okara was preferred in terms of flavor and overall liking.

Summary: This study aimed to assess maternal dietary intake patterns, anthropometric measures, and biochemical markers in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence. The results showed that pregnant women in the gestational diabetes mellitus pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence group had higher body mass index, arm circumference, and triceps skinfold than the other groups, indicating an obesogenic maternal environment. Significant differences in dietary food intake were also observed. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and pregnancy-specific urinary incontinence to address obesity and micronutrient deficiencies.

Summary: This study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activation on thermogenic pathways and mitochondrial metabolism in mouse adipose tissue. The results show that activation of PPARa and dual PPARa/y can reduce body mass, mitigate insulin resistance, and induce browning in white adipose tissue. Preserved mitochondrial metabolism emerges as a potential target for obesity treatment using PPAR agonists, with possible clinical applications.

Summary: The study found that the modified Controlling Nutritional Status system, which includes C-reactive protein as an inflammatory parameter, is more accurate than the traditional system in predicting the survival of patients with cancer cachexia. High Controlling Nutritional Status and modified Controlling Nutritional Status are both independent risk factors for survival and have a negative impact on survival in patients with advanced-stage cancers, such as esophagogastric and colorectal cancer.

Summary: This study investigated the frequency of breakfast consumption and its associations with the consumption of food at different degrees of industrial processing and with overweight indicators in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that 20% of adolescents skipped breakfast and 46% of their caloric intake came from ultra-processed foods. Skipping breakfast was associated with increased consumption of ultra-processed foods, higher BMI-for-age, and higher body fat percentage.
