Risk score may help predict future glycemic control after new diagnosis of diabetes
The most important predictors of the trajectory of glucose control were body mass index and levels of HbA1c and triglycerides, according to the study of registry data from the Netherlands.

Dapagliflozin appears effective as adjunct therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes
Patients with type 1 diabetes taking dapagliflozin for 24 weeks had lower HbA1c level, body weight, and insulin dose than those on placebo, according to the industry-funded study.

Type 1 diabetes associated with increased atrial fibrillation risk, particularly in women
Risk of atrial fibrillation increased with worse glycemic control and renal complications. Among patients with normoalbuminuria, researchers found no excess risk of atrial fibrillation with an HbA1c less than 9.7% for men or 8.8% for women.

Glucose self-monitoring had no effect on glycemic control in non–insulin-treated type 2 diabetes
Although it would seem to make sense that routine glucose self-monitoring provides better outcomes, this long-held belief is not supported by the data, said an editor's note accompanying the study.
