Summary: This study found discordance between plasma glucose measurements made using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and fingerstick meter after meals. CGM underestimated the rise in glucose levels and time spent in the normal range, while the fingerstick meter was more accurate. These discordances may have implications for applications such as precision nutrition and early detection of diabetes.

Summary: This study showed that consuming a high protein product significantly lowered peak and Delta blood glucose concentrations compared to a high carbohydrate product. Insulin response did not show significant differences between the two foods. Fasting glucose was positively correlated with glucose iAUC only for the high protein product.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the interaction between metformin and exercise training on postprandial glucose in glucose-intolerant individuals. The results showed that the combination of metformin and exercise training was not superior to exercise training alone in improving postprandial glucose levels, indicating a potential interaction between the two modalities.

Summary: Postprandial hyperglycemia is associated with increased mortality risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The gut microbiota has been found to be correlated with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the relationship between fasting and postprandial glucose levels and microbiota in older adults. The findings suggest that the individual pattern of microbiota may serve as a predictor for post-dinner hyperglycemia and abnormal glucose metabolism risk.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of FPG variability on osteoporotic fractures in the community population. By analyzing participants from three consecutive surveys, it is found that increased FPG variability is associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between fasting plasma glucose variability and osteoporotic fractures in individuals without diabetes using a nationwide cohort database. The results suggest that FPG variability may be an independent risk factor for osteoporotic fractures in the general population without diabetes.

Summary: Although previous studies have linked long-term glucose variability to osteoporosis, this study is the first to investigate the relationship between glucose variability and fractures in individuals without diabetes. The results suggest that fasting plasma glucose variability may be an independent risk factor for osteoporotic fractures in the general population without diabetes.

Summary: Verisense and Actiwatch 2 demonstrated moderate to high agreement in assessing epoch-by-epoch physical activity and sleep parameters, but showed lack of agreement in activity classifications. Further validation work is needed for Verisense's potential in continuous remote patient monitoring.

Summary: We investigated the impact of dietary and physical activity behaviors on blood glucose fluctuations in individuals at high risk for diabetes. The study found that higher BMI, body fat, and markers of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance were linked to higher mean glucose levels over the seven-day period. However, engaging in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and consuming polyunsaturated fats were associated with less variation in glucose levels, while higher protein and polyunsaturated fat intake were associated with more time-in-range. On the other hand, higher carbohydrate intake was associated with less time-in-range. These findings suggest that a diet high in polyunsaturated fat and protein, along with regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, may help reduce glucose fluctuations in individuals at high risk for diabetes.

Summary: Higher fasting blood glucose variability is associated with an increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in men. Focusing on FBG variability may serve as a valuable clinical tool in reducing the lifetime risk of CVD.

Summary: Only 9.4% of the 307 nurses in the study met the strength training recommendation. Nurses meeting the recommendation had lower body mass and waist circumference, as well as higher vigour and self-determined motivation scores. Despite the small proportion of nurses meeting the strength training recommendation, they showed improvements in their physical health and motivation levels.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in anxiety and depression among patients with cardiovascular disease before and after aerobic interval training-based cardiac rehabilitation, as well as comparing dropout rates between age groups. The results showed that younger and middle-aged adults experienced higher levels of anxiety upon entering cardiac rehabilitation compared to older adults. The study also found that cardiac rehabilitation was associated with a significant reduction in anxiety and depression severity, but younger adults had the highest dropout rates.

Summary: This study compared the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), Nordic walking (NW), and moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) on functional capacity in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. The results showed that NW was the most effective in improving functional capacity, which is a predictor of future cardiovascular events.

Summary: This study found that twelve weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT), and Nordic walking (NW) have prolonged effects on functional capacity, quality of life (QoL), and depression symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease. Nordic walking showed additional benefits in improving functional capacity.

Summary: This study compared the effects of 12 weeks of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate to vigorous intensity continuous training (MICT) on functional capacity and quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed that both HIIT and MICT had similar effects in improving functional capacity, quality of life, resting heart rate, and physical activity levels in patients with persistent and permanent AF.

Summary: This study suggests that hepato-renal dysfunction is associated with frailty in patients with heart failure, and the coexistence of high MELD-XI score and frailty is related to a poorer prognosis. These findings indicate that hepato-renal dysfunction and frailty can be used for risk stratification in heart failure patients.

Summary: This study examined the acute responses to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The results showed modest increases in heart rate and blood pressure during HIIT, regardless of age and medication use. No adverse events were reported. These findings provide evidence for the feasibility of HIIT in individuals with AF.

Summary: The primary goal of this study was to determine the time spent completing moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) among adults with atrial fibrillation (AF). The study found that many AF patients do not meet the MVPA recommendations, which may be due to lack of physical activity knowledge.
