Summary: Time-restricted eating (TRE) may lead to weight loss and improvements in insulin sensitivity and plasma glucose levels for patients with diabetes and prediabetes, with no severe adverse events reported. However, the limited number of studies in this field calls for more high-quality research to further validate the effectiveness of this intervention.

Summary: The meta-analysis showed that patients who received dapagliflozin experienced a significant reduction in HbA1c levels, body weight, and total daily insulin dose, as well as a substantial increase in 24-hour urinary glucose excretion compared to the control group.

Summary: Insulin treatment may increase mortality and incidence of severe/critical complications in patients with COVID-19 and diabetes, while showing a mixed effect on in-hospital admission. Additional large-scale studies are required to confirm these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms.

Summary: Better adherence and persistence to antidiabetic medication in patients with type 2 diabetes are associated with lower rates of microvascular and/or macrovascular outcomes, as well as inpatient hospitalization. Additionally, more adherent and persistent patients typically have fewer hospital visits and admissions, and shorter hospital stays, leading to lower healthcare costs.

Summary: This systematic scoping review aimed to evaluate the feasibility of time-restricted eating (TRE) in individuals with overweight, obesity, prediabetes, or type 2 diabetes. The results showed that TRE is implementable, acceptable, and safe in these populations, but requires support and options for individual adjustments.

Summary: Poor adherence to oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) can lead to therapy failure and risk of complications. This study aimed to determine the adherence to OADs in patients with T2D and estimate the association between good adherence and glycemic control. The systematic review and meta-analysis included 156 studies and showed that the proportion of adherent patients was 54%. There was a significant association between good glycemic control and good adherence, indicating that improving adherence could reduce the risk of complications.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that approximately 1 in 5 girls with T2D had PCOS. However, further evaluation is needed to assess the associations of obesity and race with PCOS prevalence among girls with T2D.

Summary: The systematic review aimed to investigate the optimal timing of insulin bolus in youths with type 1 diabetes. The findings suggest that pre-meal administration of insulin is associated with lower postprandial blood glucose levels and reduced HbA1c without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Furthermore, postprandial administration of fast-acting analogues is superior to rapid-acting analogues in controlling postprandial glycemia. These results have important implications for improving blood glucose control and quality of life in patients.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures in Ethiopia. The results showed a low level of adherence, with only 41.15% of the population following the measures. The perceived severity of COVID-19, attitude, and knowledge were significantly associated with adherence.

Summary: There is a relationship between muscle fiber type and obesity. Studies found a significant correlation between muscle fiber type and body mass index (BMI), with type I fibers having a negative relationship and type IIX fibers having a positive relationship with BMI. Individuals living with obesity tend to have a higher prevalence of type IIX fibers.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation in preventing diabetes and found that it does not reduce insulin resistance or the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in prediabetes. Due to the variation in study designs and biases, clear interpretation of the results is not possible, and long-term and well-designed studies are still required.

Summary: The study found that omega-3 supplementation has significant effects in reducing fasting blood glucose and insulin resistance, but not on glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetes.

Summary: In this study, ultra-rapid-acting insulins were found to have similar efficacy and safety as rapid-acting insulins in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, with a favorable effect on PPG control.

Summary: This review investigates the effects of eHealth interventions on medication adherence in patients with COPD or asthma. The results show mixed effects, possibly due to the type, context, and intensity of the interventions, as well as differences in the operationalization and measurement of adherence outcomes. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential of eHealth in optimizing treatment adherence for COPD and asthma.
