    During the past decade, there has been an increase in the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology in clinical practice1 and in clinical trials and research2 for diabetes. Three main factors have led to this increase. First, advances in CGM technology have improved the accuracy of glucose readings, improved the comfort and practicality of small sensors, and reduced or eliminated the need for calibration with blood-glucose readings. Second, the standardisation of CGM readouts between different manufacturers has enabled clinicians and users to quickly understand the essential metrics of glycaemic control and to objectively measure improvements after treatments and interventions.

    Abstract. Introduction: The aim of the study was to compare eligible individuals who were or were not treated with bariatric surgery and describe disease burden, treatment, and healthcare costs over 3 years in individuals who were not. Methods: Adults with obesity class II and comorbidities, or obesity class III, were identified in IQVIA Ambulatory EMR – US and PharMetrics® Plus administrative claims databases (January 1, 2007–December 31, 2017). Outcomes included demographics, BMI, comorbidities, and per patient per year (PPPY) healthcare costs. Results: Of 127,536 eligible individuals, 3,962 (3.1%) underwent surgery. The surgery group was younger, a greater proportion were women, and mean BMI and rates of some comorbidities (obstructive sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and depression) were higher than in the nonsurgery group. Mean healthcare costs PPPY in the baseline year were USD 13,981 in the surgery group and USD 12,024 in the nonsurgery group. In the nonsurgery grou

    Previous studies have shown that overweight and obesity may be risk factors for several types of cancers. Although female patients with obesity may be more susceptible to cancer than male patients with obesity, the risk may decrease with intentional weight loss. However, evidence of any links among obesity, weight loss, and hematologic malignancies has been limited. In the new study, investigators used the Swedish Obese Subjects study and the Cancer Registry at the National Board of Health and Welfare to

    Although telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy did not change short-term weight outcomes in patients 1 year after bariatric surgery, it did improve disordered eating and psychological distress, researchers reported. “Despite advances in pharmacotherapy and behavioral treatments for obesity and related comorbidities, bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment for severe
