TL;DR: In this paper, the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on maternal glucose control and obstetric and neonatal health outcomes was examined in women with Type 1 diabetes and planning pregnancy.

TL;DR: The DALI research program aims to promote pan-European standards in the detection and diagnosis of gestational diabetes and to develop effective preventive interventions as mentioned in this paper. But, despite the positive evidence that early detection and treatment improves outcomes, this is hampered by continued disagreement and inconsistency regarding many aspects of its diagnosis, and the lack of consensus on testing methods, diagnostic glycaemic thresholds and the value of routine screening.

TL;DR: The CGMS is useful for detecting unrecognized hypoglycemias in type 1 and type 2 diabetic subjects; however, it is not better than standard capillary glucose measurements for improving metabolic control of type 1 diabetic subjects, regardless of the therapeutic regimen.

TL;DR: Increases in fasting homocysteine in diabetic patients are associated with increased albumin excretion rate, especially in those with NIDDM, thus providing a potential new link between microalbuminuria, diabetic nephropathy and cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Two cases of autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease) occurring after SARS-CoV-2 infection are described and clinical presentation, increased thyroid uptake and positive TSH receptor antibodies are compatible with a diagnosis of Graves' disease (autoimmune hyperthy thyroidroidism).
