Risk differences and underlying factors of cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes versus type 1 diabetes: a longitudinal cohort study of Swedish nationwide register data
In this study, type 1 diabetes was associated with higher overall risk for cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality than type 2 diabetes, particularly at ages older than 60 years for the ...

Not everyone (HCPs or pts) knows enzyme doses may need adjusting for different meals, depending on fat *or* protein content. If you know someone with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI / PEI), they may be interested in PERT Pilot: Android: bit.ly/PERT-Pilot-A... iOS: bit.ly/PERT-Pilot-iOS
A comic showing a doctor saying take 2 pills, a patient questioning what to do with a different sized meal; a second panel showing two different sized meals; a third panel showing the patient thinking through how much to take; and a 4th panel showing the patient realizing that different meals need different doses. 

PERT Pilot is a free mobile app that enables people with EPI (PEI) to record what they eat, what enzymes they took, and whether the dose worked, so they can improve their dosing over time.

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters. 

Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.

Intermittent fasting triggers interorgan communication to suppress hair follicle regeneration
Intermittent fasting halts hair follicle regeneration by activating communication between adrenal glands and niche adipocytes, which in turn selectively induces apoptosis of hair follicle stem cells but not epidermal stem cells in the skin.

The people who invented insulin sold their patent for $1 because they wanted it to be available to people. The lead researcher famously said, “Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.” Pharmaceutical companies ramped up the price anyway, to line their pockets. #MedSky

For years, #insulin4all advocates have been arguing that the manufacturers have the ability to lower list prices. We've been told it's not possible because of PBMs and insurers and the complicated mess that is our drug pricing system. We've always called b.s. This proves we were right all along.

The text reads, “Additional outcomes analysis showed that the amount of insulin used was reduced from an average of 0.80 U/kg/day during standard therapy to 0.57 U/kg/day during AID. This corresponds to an average decrease of 23 U/day.”
