Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyMulticentre, randomised, controlled study of the impact of continuous sub-cutaneous glucose monitoring (GlucoDay) on glycaemic control in type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.
This randomised study was designed to investigate the impact of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for 48h on glycaemic control with a 3-month follow-up in patients with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 (T2D) diabetes. ⋯ This is the first randomised study showing that CGM improves glycaemic control in patients with T2D.

Urinary albumin excretion in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is more similar to type 2 than type 1 diabetes: results of the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study 1995-1997.
As it is unclear, whether or not, urinary albumin excretion (UAE) differs between patients classified as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and other forms of diabetes, our study aimed to investigate the distribution of the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in LADA compared with those in the "classical" types 1 (T1D) and 2 (T2D) diabetes. ⋯ In this cross-sectional study, the ACR in LADA and in T2D were similar and higher than in T1D. This similarity between LADA and T2D makes it unlikely that the autoimmune processes that operate in LADA promote albuminuria.
