Professor Andreas Liebl from the Diabetes and Metabolism Center Bad Heilbrunn, Germany, believes that the iteration and upgrading of innovative drugs will be most critical in the coming years. Drugs targeting GLP‑1, GIP, and glucagon receptors will be continuously optimized and diversified. As I noted earlier, such agents allow us to manage patients from a […]

Common Misconceptions in Choosing Insulin Injection Sites
Common misconceptions among patients with diabetes regarding insulin injection site selection include:
Recommendations for Scientific Rotation of Insulin Injection Sites
Rotation of insulin injection sites should not be random; it requires a strategic, systematic rotation plan. Major rotation technique:Think of the four areas as four “regions”. Use one region as the main injection site each week. This allows each large area sufficient time to recover, effectively preventing lipohypertrophy and other complications.
Does the “2+N Systematic Therapy” Make Remission of Type 2 Diabetes Possible?
In many people’s perception, once diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it means lifelong medication, strict glycemic control, and constant risk of complications. However, in recent years, the concept of “diabetes remission” has quietly changed clinical practice—not a cure, but long-term maintenance of blood glucose at non-diabetic levels through scientific intervention, without medication, and […]
How to Choose Cold Medicine for People with Diabetes?
Pay attention to whether Chinese patent cold medicines are sugar-free.Some Chinese patent lozenges, cold granules, etc., add sugar to improve taste and mask bitterness. For people with diabetes, such sugar-containing medicines can become a hidden cause of elevated blood sugar and disrupt glucose stability.Therefore, always check the label and instructions carefully, and choose sugar-free products […]
People with diabetes usually need treatment if they get a parasitic infection
People with diabetes usually need treatment if they become infected with parasites, because parasitic infections may worsen diabetes or cause other health problems. The specific treatment and its necessity depend on the type of parasite and the severity of the infection.
Diabetic Gastroparesis symptoms and treatment
Diabetic gastroparesis is a common chronic complication of diabetes. It is caused by long-term hyperglycemia that leads to abnormalities in nerves, gastrointestinal hormones, and other related functions. Treatment includes blood glucose control, improving gastrointestinal motility, and other measures. If symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or early satiety occur, seek medical attention promptly and receive standardized […]
Metabolic Surgery Achieves Better Glycemic Control and Reduced Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity
Bariatric surgery for obesity promotes significant and sustained weight loss, and improves glycemic control and long-term outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Given the magnitude and speed of improvement in hyperglycemia and glucose homeostasis, these procedures have even been proposed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in individuals without severe obesity, so the […]
Fully Closed-Loop System: A Major Advance in Diabetes Treatment
The fully closed-loop system represents a major advance in diabetes therapy. It connects an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to achieve full automation of insulin infusion, eliminating the need for patients to manually calculate carbohydrates or administer mealtime insulin injections.In September 2025, at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the […]
Closed-Loop Insulin Infusion System: Reducing the Burden of Diabetes Management
Closed-loop insulin delivery systems, also known as artificial pancreas systems, combine an insulin pump with a continuous glucose monitor to form a feedback loop. These systems automatically adjust insulin delivery based on real-time blood glucose levels, reducing the burden of diabetes management and improving overall glycemic control.Medtronic’s MiniMed 780G and Tandem’s Control-IQ are typical representatives […]
