An error grid compares measured versus reference glucose concentrations to assign clinical risk values observed errors. Widely used grids for blood monitors (BGMs) have limited value because they do not also reflect accuracy of continuous (CGMs).

Summary Aims Observations are made on four Type 1 diabetic patients with the rare syndrome of intractable vomiting from confirmed gastroparesis, to determine whether radical surgery would alleviate their symptoms and subsequently examine in detail gastric histopathology. Methods The surgical approach consisted an ≈ 70% resection stomach, including antrum pylorus, closure duodenum restoration gastrointestinal continuity a 60‐cm Roux‐en‐Y jejunal loop. Four longstanding were examined treated...

This study evaluates whether diffusion tensor imaging magnetic resonance neurography (DTI-MRN), T2 relaxation time, and proton spin density can detect grade neuropathic abnormalities in patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients diabetes (n = 49) were included—11 severe polyneuropathy (sDPN), 13 mild (mDPN), 25 without (nDPN)—along 30 healthy control subjects (HCs). Clinical examinations, nerve conduction studies, vibratory perception thresholds determined the presence severity of DPN. DTI-MRN...
