Introduction: T-Coach program is a phone support platform for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with insulin glargine 300 U/ml in order to adjust basal insulin dose, reinforce diabetes education and encourage patients to get their goals through regular phone calls. The aim of the study was to evaluate T-Coach program effectiveness in metabolic control and level of satisfaction in patients with T2D.Methods: We conducted a retrospe...

Introduction: Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment in order to achieve an important weight loss and improvement of metabolic comorbidities. This study aimed to assess the clinical factors that can influenced on evolution of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity patients after bariatric surgery.Methods: We conducted a cohort study with a sample of patients with type 2 diabetes and class II obesity or above who underwent bariatric surgery at Hospital Un...

Aim: Comparing the effect of Faster Aspart insulin (Fiasp®) with previous insulin analogues (aspart, lispro) in type I diabetic patients with sensor-augmented pump therapy.Methods: Patients with Minimed Paradigm® insulin pumps, Enlite® sensors and Guardian® software (able to automatically stop the pump infusion to prevent hypoglycemia) were switched from previous insulin to Faster Aspart. Da...

Introduction: Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is relatively high worldwide, it is associated with poor skeletal health and has recently been related to other extra-skeletal diseases, probably due to its immunomodulatory effects. Detection and treatment of asymptomatic hypovitaminosis D in healthy adult population is especially relevant to attempt to optimize the overall functioning of the human body.Objectives: To assess the percentage of adult health...

Background: Dumping syndrome (DS) and post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) are some of the most challenging problems encountered during the follow-up of bariatric surgery (BS), especially after Roux-en-y gastric bypass (yRGB). When pharmacological and dietary treatment fail to control DS and PBH, surgical revision is often the next therapeutic step. Endoscopic treatment with argon plasma coagulation (APC) may be an alternative treatment by reducing the diameter of the gastro-jeju...
