A case report of type 1 diabetes mellitus coexistent with Charcot –Marie–Tooth type 1A and a literature review
ConclusionIt is not yet clear whether there is a genetic association between the CMTD and diabetes, the genes causing CMTD are perhaps related to T1D and T2D genes. When CMTD and diabetes coexist, the resulting neuropathy is more severe than that observed with either condition alone. We recommend that such patients should strictly control their blood-glucose level to slow down the progression of the disease. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Maternal and neonatal outcomes of deliveries at 39  weeks compared to deliveries at 40 weeks in pregnant women with diet controlled gestational diabetes mellitus
ConclusionThere were no statistically significant differences in maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes in women with diet-controlled gestational diabetes who delivered at 39  weeks compared to women who delivered at 40 weeks. However, the observed higher rate of shoulder dystocia and preeclampsia among women who delivered at 40 weeks might need to be investigated further in larger studies while it might indicate the need for iatrogenic intervention at 39 weeks.

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and charcot neuroarthropathy in type 2 diabetes: adding a new severity classification score
ConclusionsThere is a high prevalence of CAN in people with type 2 diabetes followed in a tertiary health service and the use of severity score may enable to differentiate people with or without CN. We suggest that this score could be used as a new tool in caring for people with diabetes to identify the most severe CAN. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)
