How Does Visual Deprivation Affect Cognitive Function in Type 2 Diabetes During Dual Task Training?
A 12-week RCT finds adding cognitive-motor dual-task blindfold training to exercise improves cognitive scores more than exercise alone in type 2 diabetes. PICO summary and commentary.
How does blood pressure variability affect heart and kidney health in diabetic and non-diabetic patients?
An ASCOT analysis finds high blood pressure variability is strongly linked to worse cardiovascular and renal outcomes in diabetes, with amlodipine-based therapy reducing events partly via lower variability. PICO summary and commentary.
Tai Chi Preserves Cognitive Function in Older Adults with Diabetes and MCI: 2-Year Follow-Up

Early NPH Insulin in DKA: Faster Resolution of Severe Cases Without More Hypoglycemia
A small open-label RCT finds early NPH insulin plus infusion speeds resolution of severe DKA and delays rebound hyperglycaemia, without a significant difference in hypoglycaemia. PICO summary and commentary.
How does continuous glucose monitoring improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin?
A 3-month MOBILE analysis finds CGM lowers HbA1c more than fingerstick monitoring and reduces hypoglycaemia in basal-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, with benefits within a week. PICO summary and commentary.
