Hi,

Do you know that a wearable painless patch with a responsive delivery system is on the way that might allow type 2 diabetes individuals to better regulate their blood sugar levels? UCLA researchers suggests that babies born to women with diabetes are more likely to develop congenital heart diseases. We also discuss the risks associated with adopting an aggressive glycemic control plan among older patients; the increased six-fold risk of developing a heart attack after an influenza infection and much more in this issue of Gems.
