Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a long-term chronic disease characterized by abnormal high level blood glucose (BG). An artificial closed-loop system that mimics pancreatic β-cells and releases insulin on demand has potential to improve the therapeutic efficiency of diabetes. Herein, a lectin Concanavalin A modified oxidized starch nanogel was designed to regulate glucose dynamically according to different glucose concentrations. The nanogels were formed by double cross-linking the Concanavalin A and glucose units on oxidized starch via specific binding and amide bonds to achieve the high drug loading and glucose responsiveness. The results showed that oxidized starch nanogels prolonged the half-life of antidiabetic peptide drug exenatide and released it in response to high BG concentrations. It could absorb BG at a high level and maintain glucose homeostasis. Besides, the oxidized starch nanogels performed well in recovering regular BG level from hyperglycemia state and maintaining in euglycemia state that fitted in a biological rhythm. In addition, the nanogels showed high biocompatibility in vivo and could improve plasma half-life and therapeutic efficacy of exenatide. Overall, the nanogels protected peptide drugs from degradation in plasma as a glucose-responsive platform showing a high potential for peptide drugs delivery and antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
To achieve appropriate glycaemic control, postprandial and baseline hyperglycaemia should be reduced. Various epidemiological studies have suggested an association between fluctuations in postprandial blood glucose and cardiovascular risk. However, studies of interventions performed to date have not shown that selective control of postprandial hyperglycaemia is associated with cardiovascular benefits. Accordingly, an appropriate combination of drugs that control both baseline and postprandial hyperglycaemia (individually based on each patient's characteristics) is the best strategy for achieving good glycaemic control. This review seeks to impart to clinicians the concept of postprandial hyperglycaemia, analysing its causes, how to measure it, its prevalence, its consequences and, ultimately, the available therapeutic strategies for the preferential control of the postprandial hyperglycaemia along with baseline hyperglycaemia.

Abstract
Type II diabetes (T2D) has been identified as a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Interestingly, both AD and T2D have similar characteristics including amyloid peptide aggregation, decreased metabolism, and increased oxidative stress and inflammation. Despite their prevalence, therapies for these diseases are limited. To date, most therapies for AD have targeted amyloid-β or tau. Unfortunately, most of these clinical trials have been largely unsuccessful, creating a crucial need for novel therapies. A number of studies have shown that metabolic hormone therapies are effective at ameliorating high blood glucose levels in diabetics as well as improving cognitive function in AD and mild cognitive impairment patients. Pramlintide, a synthetic analogue of the pancreatic hormone amylin, has been developed and used for years now as a treatment for both type I diabetes and T2D due to the loss of β-islet cells responsible for producing amylin. Importantly, recent data demonstrates its potential therapeutic role for AD as well. This review aims at addressing parallels between T2D and AD at a pathological and functional level, focusing on amylin signaling as a key, overlapping mediator in both diseases. The potential therapeutic use of this hormone to treat AD will also be explored from a mechanistic viewpoint.

Analysis of Postprandial Glycemia in Relation to Metabolic Compensation and Other Observed Parameters of Outpatients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Czech Republic. Diabetes Ther 2018; 9:665-672.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The goal of the study was to determine the level of metabolic compensation expressed by glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, and postprandial glucose as determined after a standardized breakfast; further, to evaluate interrelationships between the studied parameters and postprandial glucose levels. METHODS The study included 1055 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Their fasting plasma glucose and postprandial glucose were measured before and after a standardized breakfast. Attending diabetologists completed a uniform questionnaire that included demographic data, type of antidiabetic treatment, duration of diabetes, latest glycosylated hemoglobin value, presence of dyslipidemia, and organic complications. RESULTS Glycosylated hemoglobin < 53 mmol/mol was achieved in 363 (34.2%), postprandial glucose < 7.5 mmol/l in 211 (19.9%), and fasting plasma glucose < 6 mmol/l in 251 (23.7%) patients. Excellent metabolic compensation, indicated by all the above mentioned glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, and postprandial glucose values simultaneously, was achieved in only 71 (6.7%) patients. Comparable to fasting plasma glucose and postprandial glucose values, correlation with glycosylated hemoglobin levels is statistically significant; however, there is no difference at different glycosylated hemoglobin levels. There was a significant correlation between dyslipidemia and postprandial glycemia (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION The objective of care for patients with diabetes mellitus is to improve their long-term metabolic compensation; to that end, both fasting plasma glucose and postprandial glucose deserve equal attention.

Bidirectional Relationship between Gastric Emptying and Plasma Glucose Control in Normoglycemic Individuals and Diabetic Patients. J Diabetes Res 2018; 2018:1736959. [PMID: 30402500 PMCID: PMC6192082 DOI: 10.1155/2018/1736959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2018] [Revised: 05/14/2018] [Accepted: 09/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastric emptying and glycemic control pathways are closely interrelated processes. Gastric chyme is transferred into the duodenum with velocities depending on its solid or liquid state, as well as on its caloric and nutritional composition. Once nutrients enter the intestine, the secretion of incretins (hormonal products of intestinal cells) is stimulated. Among incretins, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has multiple glycemic-regulatory effects that include delayed gastric emptying, thus triggering a feedback loop lowering postprandial serum glucose levels. Glycemic values also influence gastric emptying; hyperglycemia slows it down, and hypoglycemia accelerates it, both limiting glycemic fluctuations. Disordered gastric emptying in diabetes mellitus is understood today as a complex pathophysiological condition, with both irreversible and reversible components and high intra- and interindividual variability of time span and clinical features. While limited delays may be useful for reducing postprandial hyperglycemias, severely hindered gastric emptying may be associated with higher glycemic variability and worsened long-term glycemic control. Therapeutic approaches for both gastric emptying and glycemic control include dietary modifications of meal structure or content and drugs acting as GLP-1 receptor agonists. In the foreseeable future, we will probably witness a wider range of dietary interventions and more incretin-based medications used for restoring both gastric emptying and glycemic levels to nearly physiological levels.
