Global incidence of adult-onset T1D higher than expected
An international study led by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has shown a higher-than-expected incidence of adult-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) worldwide, indicating a need for accurate diagnosis of these patients to facilitate appropriate treatment including early insulin therapy.
Wearable sensors show potential for T1D sensing with informative parameters
Commercially available, wearable technology can improve its sensing ability of physiological signals in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) with additional, informative biomarkers, which can be observed noninvasively and continuously, suggests a recent study.
What are the ideal thresholds for ASTP, toe-brachial index in diabetic foot screening?
In diabetic foot screening (DFS), both absolute systolic toe pressure (ASTP) and toe-brachial index (TBI) can detect ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI)-determined peripheral arterial disease (PAD), results of a Singapore study have shown. The optimal threshold values derived from a multiethnic Asian diabetic population are <0.7 for TBI and <95.5 mm Hg for ASTP.
