We also bring to you our research findings on the use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring as a routine investigation in diabetes, presented at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions at San Diego this year. We also have articles on molecules responsible for memory loss in diabetes, how brown adipose tissues activation fights obesity etc.
