Managing gestational diabetes mellitus using a smartphone application with artificial intelligence (SineDie) during the COVID-19 pandemic: Much more than just telemedicine.
We describe our experience in the remote management of women with gestational diabetes mellitus during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used a mobile phone application with artificial intelligence that automatically classifies and analyses the data (ketonuria, diet transgressions, and blood glucose values), making adjustment recommendations regarding the diet or insulin treatment.

Clinical TrialFasting blood glucose level is a predictor of mortality in patients with COVID-19 independent of diabetes history.
No study elucidated the role of fasting blood glucose (FBG) level in the prognosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ⋯ We firstly showed FBG ≥7.0 mmol/L predicted worse outcome in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 independent of diabetes history. Our findings indicated screening FBG level is an effective method to evaluate the prognosis of patients with COVID-19.

Clinical TrialClinical characteristics and outcome of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with diabetes: A single-center, retrospective study in Iran.
To describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics along with outcomes of hospitalized Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with and without diabetes. ⋯ COVID-19 patients with diabetes are at a higher risk of complications and a higher in-hospital mortality during hospitalization. Diabetes status of COVID-19 patients and frequent monitoring of glycemia would be helpful to prevent deteriorating clinical conditions.

Correlation of serum meteorin-like concentrations with diabetic nephropathy.
Meteorin-like (Metrnl), a secreted myokine, is induced in white adipose tissue during cold exposure and in muscle after exercise. The present investigation aims to determine the hypothesis that serum Metrnl concentrations are correlated with diabetic nephropathy (DN). ⋯ Serum Metrnl concentrations are inversely correlated with renal function and DN.
