Systematic review and meta-analysis on postoperative dysglycemia prevalence in pediatric cardiac surgery
High rate of blood sugar issues after children heart surgery
This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesized data on postoperative dysglycemia in 3864 pediatric cardiac surgery patients. The poole…
A major review found most kids have blood sugar problems after heart surgery. This can lead to longer hospital stays.
CGM-Derived Glycemic Persistence Index Predicts OGTT 2-Hour Glucose in Dysglycemia
Wearable Glucose Monitor Could Replace Burdensome Blood Test
In an observational cohort of adults with paired free-living CGM and OGTT, the glycemic persistence index (GPI) was the strongest single pre…
A new way to read glucose monitor data might make testing easier.
Admission blood glucose levels associated with NRDS severity in neonates
High blood sugar linked to worse breathing in newborns with lung distress
This retrospective cohort study of 219 neonates with NRDS at a tertiary hospital in China found that hyperglycemia at admission was associat…
Newborns with high blood sugar had more severe breathing trouble and needed longer support than those with normal sugar levels.
PON1 genetic variants rs2057681 and rs854572 modulate PONase activity and dysmetabolic risk in MASLD
Your Liver's Hidden Genetic Shield
This cohort study of 922 Portuguese individuals from the PREVADIAB2 cohort examined associations between PON1 genetic variants and metabolic…
Your specific DNA pattern for a liver enzyme predicts diabetes and liver scarring risk better than simple blood tests alone.
Psychotropic medications frequently cause metabolic adverse effects via gut-brain axis
Why do psychiatric medications often cause weight gain and diabetes?
A narrative review synthesizes emerging evidence on psychotropic-induced metabolic disturbances.
Psychiatric drugs often cause weight gain and diabetes by disrupting the gut-brain-metabolic axis, a link new science is starting to map.
Questions about Dysglycemia
Can a specific CGM index predict high sugar levels in dysglycemia?
Yes, the glycemic persistence index (GPI) from CGM strongly predicts high 2-hour glucose on OGTT in dysglycemia, outperforming other CGM metrics.
