Chronic Kidney Disease: a practical guide (ACT-NAU)

Assessing carbohydrate counting accuracy: current limitations and future direct...

Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent chronic autoimmune disease with a high impact on global health, affecting millions of adults and resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Achieving optimal blood glucose levels is crucial for diabetes management to prevent acute and long-term complications. Carbohydrate counting (CC) is widely used by patients with type 1 diabetes to adjust prandial insulin bolus doses ...

Doença renal crónica: um guia prático (ACT-NAU)

A doença renal crónica (DRC) é um importante problema de saúde pública que está associada ao aumento da morbimortalidade global e é um fator de risco significativo para a doença cardiovascular. A prevalência da DRC tem aumentado exponencialmente em todo o mundo. A sua prevalência em Portugal é de 20,9% nos estádios 1 a 5 da DRC e de 9,8% para os estádios ≥G3a/A1 da DRC, pelo que é de extrema importância que est...

Towards patient-specific carbohydrate counting accuracy : an in silico study

Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients on intensive insulin therapy use advanced carbohydrate counting to proper dose prandial insulin. Therefore, the patient’s ability to accurately estimate the meal’s carbohydrate content is paramount. However, despite its significance, several studies show that the patient’s ability to estimates the meal’s carbohydrate content is far from ideal and identify the need for continuou...

Assessing the impact of inaccurate insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio on the patient...

To mitigate the adverse consequences of chronic hyperglycemia, patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus must provide their bodies with insulin to control their blood glucose. In most cases, insulin therapy consists of a combination of basal insulin and bolus insulin, the so-called basal-bolus insulin therapy. To determine the bolus insulin, patients must know not only the carbohydrate content of each meal but als...

An adaptive bolus calculator to minimize the impact of inaccurate insulin to ca...

Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus use intensive insulin therapy to suppress their insulin needs and avoid the adverse consequences of chronic hyperglycemia. Intensive insulin therapy consists of a combination of basal insulin and bolus insulin. While the basal insulin dose is periodically adjusted in collaboration with the healthcare team, patients have to estimate the bolus insulin dose by themselves, bef...
