In healthy humans, insulin at physiological concentrations exerts acute vasodilatory actions on both resistance and terminal arterioles, leading, respectively, to increased total blood flow and the microvascular network volume being perfused. The pro...

Background/Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between glycemic control and increased glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), as assessed by serum creatinine and the CKiD equation in children and adolescents with T1DM. Methods: This cross...

Background/Objectives: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has transformed diabetes management, with time in range (TIR) emerging as a key glycemic metric. However, TIR lacks sensitivity to glycemic variability, leading to the introduction of time in...
