No breakthroughs this week, but still plenty of lesser news, and a bit of bogosity. I have no idea why anyone would be possessed to ignore CGMs in a study of digital diabetes tools.
Fierce Healthcare: Digital diabetes tools don't deliver meaningful benefits: study
A new analysis pours cold water on the effectiveness of widely used digital diabetes management solutions, stirring up discussion about how best to evaluate the growing market of digital health tools.
The Digital Therapeutics Alliance, which includes DarioHealth as one of its members, said in a statement that it supports the PHTI's "overarching methodology" but disagrees with the conclusions drawn.
DTx noted the lack of endocrinologists among the clinical advisers who contributed and reviewed the report, and the trade group argued the report made a "sweeping conclusion" on all diabetes products based on a small sample size.
[Omar Manejwala, M.D., chief medical officer at DarioHealth,] also took issue with the PHTI issuing a patient guide (PDF) for digital diabetes solutions based on what he called a "flawed analysis."
The report highlighted one "promising solution" out of the eight that were evaluated—Virta Health's. The company's solution aims to reverse Type 2 diabetes through personalized nutrition therapy and remote medical care.
This is not what I recognize as a digital health tool.
The study concluded that digital diabetes tools don't improve patients' health and increase overall spending.
A new study explores the molecular connections between Type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's, supporting the notion of Alzheimer's as "Type 3 diabetes.”
Never heard of it.
Researchers say that developing type 2 diabetes may increase a person's risk of Alzheimer's disease.
The scientists said they traced a particular protein in the gut to find out how it influences brain processes. They reported that eating a high-fat diet suppresses a protein called jak3.
The mice without this protein experienced inflammation that began in the intestine and then moved to the liver and the brain. These mice developed Alzheimer’s-like symptoms, including cognitive impairment.
- They said it’s possible that eating a high-fat diet might lead to higher levels of inflammation, which could increase dementia risk.
- They note that a healthy diet and participating in a healthy lifestyle might reverse the process and decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

.Yahoo Finance: Why Tandem Diabetes Care Stock Was Zooming Higher Today
Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ: TNDM) was a standout stock as Tuesday's trading session barreled to a close. The insulin pump maker's stock price was nearly 10% higher in mid-afternoon trading, thanks largely to a recommendation upgrade from an analyst. That performance was well exceeding the 0.2% rise of the S&P 500 index at that point.
I normally don’t report purely financial news, which I am always deeply suspicious of.
