    Abstract Objective: To compare the 12-month effects of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) versus blood glucose monitoring (BGM) in adults with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes.
    Research design and methods: This is a single-center, parallel, open-label, randomized controlled trial including adults with inadequately controlled, insulin-treated type 2 diabetes from the outpatient clinic at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Denmark. Inclusion criteria were ≥18 years of age, insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, and HbA1c ≥7.5% (58 mmol/mol). Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to 12 months of either CGM or BGM. All participants received a diabetes self-management education course and were followed by their usual health care providers. Primary outcome was between-group differences in change in time in range (TIR) 3.9-10.0 mmol/L, assessed at baseline, after 6 and 12 months by blinded CGM. The prespecified secondary outcomes were differences in change in several other glycemic, metabolic, and participant-reported outcomes.
    Results: The 76 participants had a median baseline HbA1c of 8.3 (7.8, 9.1)% (67 [62-76] mmol/mol), and 61.8% were male. Compared with BGM, CGM usage was associated with significantly greater improvements in TIR (between-group difference 15.2%, 95% CI 4.6; 25.9), HbA1c (-0.9%, -1.4; -0.3 [-9.4 mmol/mol, -15.2; -3.5]), total daily insulin dose (-10.6 units/day, -19.9; -1.3), weight (-3.3 kg, -5.5; -1.1), and BMI (-1.1 kg/m2, -1.8; -0.3) and greater self-rated diabetes-related health, well-being, satisfaction, and health behavior.
    Conclusions: In adults with inadequately controlled insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, the 12-month impact of CGM was superior to BGM in improving glucose control and other crucial health parameters. The findings support the use of CGM in the insulin-treated subgroup of type 2 diabetes.

    Abstract Aims: To explore the feasibility and potential benefits of a peer support programme for adults with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) starting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).
    Methods: This part of the Steno2tech study is an exploratory, single-centre, open-labelled, prospective, randomised controlled trial (RCT). A total of 60 participants were randomised 2:1 to 12 months of CGM with or without peer support. All participants received a 3-h diabetes self-management education course including a CGM part on how to use the CGM and interpret the CGM-derived data. Peer support consisted of three 3-h peer support meetings over the first 6 months of the study period with groups of three to six people. The exploratory outcomes included the acceptability and feasibility of the peer support intervention, and the between-group difference in change in several glycaemic, metabolic and participant-reported outcomes measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months.
    Results: The peer support intervention was found acceptable and feasible. Participants shared their experiences of using and interpreting CGM data and its association with health behaviour. While both groups had improvements in glycaemic, metabolic and participant-reported outcomes, there were no significant between-group differences.
    Conclusions: Although feasible, we found no measured additional benefits when adding a peer support programme after starting CGM in this exploratory RCT including adults with insulin-treated T2D. Understanding the perceived effect of and preferences for a peer support intervention from the participants' points of view, including why individuals declined to participate, would be of value for future research.

    Abstract Background: Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems offer promise in improving glycemic outcomes for individuals with type 1 diabetes. However, data on those who struggle with suboptimal glycemic levels despite insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are limited. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the effects of an AID system in this population.
    Methods: Participants with hemoglobin A
    Results: Forty adults (mean ± SD: age 52 ± 11 years, HbA
    Conclusions: For adults with type 1 diabetes not meeting glycemic targets despite use of insulin pump and CGM, transitioning to an AID system confers considerable glycemic benefits.

    Abstract Although important for digestion and metabolism in repose, the healthy endocrine pancreas also plays a key role in facilitating energy transduction around physical exercise. During exercise, decrements in pancreatic β-cell mediated insulin release opposed by increments in α-cell glucagon secretion stand chief among the hierarchy of glucose-counterregulatory responses to decreasing plasma glucose levels. As a control hub for several major glucose regulatory hormones, the endogenous pancreas is therefore essential in ensuring glucose homeostasis. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is pathophysiological condition characterised by a destruction of pancreatic β-cells resulting in pronounced aberrations in glucose control. Yet

    Abstract Background and objective: Pleural infection is associated with significant mortality and morbidity worldwide, with a steadily increasing incidence. We sought to investigate whether video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or thoracotomy provides the best outcomes in the treatment of stage II and III pleural infection as indications remain controversial.
    Methods: Systematic review of relevant articles from the PubMed database.
    Key content and findings: Nine non-randomized retrospective studies published between 1996 and 2020 with a total of 2,121 patients were included. Results varied between studies, but overall shorter operative and recovery times and greater patient satisfaction were demonstrated using VATS compared with thoracotomy.
    Conclusions: Although VATS and thoracotomy are viable treatment options for stage II and III pleural infection, VATS has potential advantages in terms of decreased operation time, fewer days with tube drainage, shorter postoperative hospital stay, reduced postoperative pain, increased patient satisfaction with the procedure, and wound appearance. VATS has limitations in the treatment of patients with stage III pleural infection, where delayed surgical referral has been shown to increase the risk of intraoperative conversion to thoracotomy. The data to date implies that debridement by VATS should be proposed as soon as possible in stage II pleural infection and considered in cases of stage III pleural infection.

    Abstract In an in-patient switch study, 10 adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) performed 45 min of moderate-intensity exercise on 2 occasions: (1) when using their usual insulin pump (UP) and (2) after transitioning to automated insulin delivery (AID) treatment (MiniMed™ 780G). Consensus glucose management guidelines for performing exercise were applied. Plasma glucose concentrations measured over a 3-h monitoring period were stratified into time below range (TBR, <3.9 mmol/L), time in range (TIR, 3.9-10.0 mmol/L), and time above range (TAR, >10.0 mmol/L). Overall, TBR (UP: 11 ± 21 vs. AID: 3% ± 10%,

    Abstract Background: Unintentional falls among older adults are of primary importance due to their impact on quality of life. Falling accounts for 95% of hip fractures, leading to an approximately six times increased risk of death within the first 3 months. Furthermore, physical and cognitive parameters are risk factors for falls. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of a 6-month salsa dance training intervention, compared with regular fitness circuit training and a control group.
    Methods: This study will include 180 older adults: 90 healthy patients and 90 patients with osteoporosis. Participants will be allocated randomly in either of the groups, stratified according to age. Training groups will receive 2 weekly 1-hour training sessions, continuously through 6 months. Participants will be tested at baseline and 6 and 18 months post baseline. Primary outcome will be number of falls and secondary outcomes include bone mineral density, body composition, pain evaluation, weekly physical activity, single-task and dual-task gait patterns, balance, Fullerton Functional Fitness Test and assessment of the mini-BESTest.
    Discussion: This study will investigate the effects of a specially designed dance training programme (Dancing Against falls iN Community-dwElling older adults (DANCE)) to reduce the risk of falling among older adults. The study will investigate the effect against an active and passive comparator, resulting in the possibility to state, if DANCE training should be an alternative to traditional training.
