Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is now advocated for the clinical management of individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, this glucose monitoring strategy is not routinely used in type 2 diabetes (T2D), given the large population, significant cost implications and relatively limited supporting evidence. T2D is a more heterogenous condition compared with T1D with various glucose lowering therapies that do not necessarily require CGM to ensure within target glucose levels. While all individuals with T2D may benefit from CGM at certain time points, the whole T2D population does not necessarily require this technology continuously, which should be prioritized based on patient benefit and cost effectiveness. In this pragmatic opinion piece, we describe the rationale and evidence for CGM use in different subgroups of individuals with T2d, divided according to the stage of the condition, glycemic therapies, presence of diabetes complications, or associated co-morbidities. We discuss a total of 16 T2D subgroups and provide a clinical view on CGM use in each, based on current evidence while also highlighting areas of knowledge gaps. This work provides health care professionals with a simple guide to CGM use in different T2D groups and gives suggestion for future studies to justify expansion of this technology.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes, which represents 90% of diabetes cases globally, is a major public health concern. Improved glucose management reduces the risk of vascular complications and mortality; however, only a small proportion of the type 2 diabetes population have blood glucose levels within the recommended treatment targets. In recent years, diabetes technologies have revolutionised the care of people with type 1 diabetes, and it is becoming increasingly evident that people with type 2 diabetes can also benefit from these advances. In this review, we describe the current knowledge regarding the role of technologies for people living with type 2 diabetes and the evidence supporting their use in clinical practice. We conclude that continuous glucose monitoring systems deliver glycaemic benefits for individuals with type 2 diabetes, whether treated with insulin or non-insulin therapy; further data are required to evaluate the role of these systems in those with prediabetes (defined as impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose and/or HbA1c levels between 39 mmol/mol [5.7%] and 47 mmol/mol [6.4%]). The use of insulin pumps seems to be safe and effective in people with type 2 diabetes, especially in those with an HbA1c significantly above target. Initial results from studies exploring the impact of closed-loop systems in type 2 diabetes are promising. We discuss directions for future research to fully understand the potential benefits of integrating evidence-based technology into care for people living with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Blood glucose monitoring was vitally important in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients for preventing complications and improving survival rates. The associations between glycemic variability and blood biochemical indicators were underestimated in patients with DKD undergoing hemodialysis. Therefore, we primarily aimed to investigate the glycemic variability and 1-year risk of cardiovascular disease events in diabetic hemodialysis patients. And we secondarily aimed to explore the association between glycemic variability and blood biochemical indicators. METHODS In total, 27 patients were included in the final analysis. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was used to evaluate glucose variability for 14 days. Patients were divided into two groups by the cutoff level of time in range (TIR; >70% or ≤70%). The three-point major adverse cardiovascular event (3P MACE) was recorded within 1 year. RESULTS After 1 year of follow-up, 4 patients in the high-TIR group and 3 patients in the low-TIR group had 3p MACE. Higher low blood glucose index (LBGI) level in diabetic hemodialysis patients increased the risk of 3p MACE outcomes (HR = 2.37, p = 0.018). And the level of albumin was positively associated with LBGI (β = 0.51, p = 0.036). The plasma levels of albumin, glycosylated hemoglobin, and hemoglobin were positively associated with other CGM parameters. CONCLUSION LBGI during 14 days was positively associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common condition that typically requires surgical intervention. Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a potential alternative treatment option, although the choice of embolization material remains a topic of debate. In this case series, we report on the outcomes of 10 patients with cSDH who underwent MMAE. Most patients experienced symptom relief and a significant reduction in cSDH size post-procedure. Despite the presence of comorbidities and risk factors, most patients had positive outcomes following MMAE treatment. Only one patient required surgical intervention after the MMAE procedure due to the progression of symptoms, while MMAE successfully prevented recurrence in most patients. Our findings suggest that MMAE can be a promising treatment option for selected patients with cSDH. However, further studies are needed to compare the efficacy and safety of different embolization materials in MMAE procedures for cSDHs.
