SEVERE INSULIN RESISTANCE IN TYPE 2 DIABETES SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED WITH MEDTRONIC 780G CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM: A CASE REPORT (ATTD 2026) - "Her regimen included high-dose rapid-acting insulin lispro U-200, long-acting insulin glargine U-300 (Toujeo), maximum-dose metformin (1000 mg BID), and once-weekly semaglutide (Ozempic) at 1.2 mg. This case highlights the potential role of advanced diabetes technologies such as the Medtronic 780G closed-loop insulin delivery system in managing extreme insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Even in cases with longstanding hyperglycemia and high insulin requirements, automated insulin delivery can significantly improve glycemic control and reduce insulin needs. This supports broader consideration of insulin pump therapy in selected patients with refractory type 2 diabetes."

Comparative Effectiveness of Switching From First-Generation Basal Insulins to Either Glargine 300 U/mL or Degludec 100 U/mL in Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes: Results From the ISPED CARD Clinical Registry. (PubMed, Pediatr Diabetes) - "To assess the real-world effectiveness of switching from first-generation basal insulins (1BIs) to either glargine U300 (Gla-300) or degludec U100 (Deg-100) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D), using data from the Italian ISPED CARD clinical registry. Although both insulins showed comparable effectiveness, differences in titration patterns highlight the need for individualized treatment strategies and improved clinician education in insulin optimization. Safety outcomes, particularly hypoglycemia, could not be assessed."

Differences in the expression of insulin pathway genes according to the basal insulin analogue treatment used in the INEOX study (EASD 2025) - P4 | "So, we tried to evaluate potential differences in the gene expression of the insulin signaling pathway in leukocytes from adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), depending on the treatment with different long-acting basal insulin analogs, using data from the INEOX study.Materials and INEOX is a 24-week controlled clinical trial comparing two groups of T1DM patients (diagnosed over 2 years ago, treated for more than 1 year with rapid-acting insulin analogs, and with HbA1c above 10%) who were randomly assigned to treatment with Glargine U300 (Gla300) or Degludec U100 (Deg100). Our results suggest the potential differential regulation of the insulin pathway gene SOCS2 in adult women with T1DM treated with different second-generation long-acting basal insulin analogs, as differences were observed depending on the insulin analog used."

Aging with type 1 diabetes: a perspective on "octagenarians" living with type 1 diabetes in Italy (EASD 2025) - "Among patients treated with the conventional basal-bolus insulin regimen, most (76.5%) were treated with second-generation basal insulin (glargine U300 or degludec). The most used rapid insulin analogues were lispro (44%), aspart (32.4%), glulisine (10%), and faster aspart (11.9%)... Many people with type 1 diabetes have aged, becoming 'octogenarians' by being regularly followed up in Italian diabetes centers. The overall quality of care for patients regularly followed up has resulted in a lower-than-expected burden of end-stage renal disease, visual loss, and diabetic foot. Management of CV risk factors could be improved."
