AbstractConsumers of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are susceptible to dysglycemia. The aim was to characterize 24-h glucose profiles of HPN consumers using continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and to identify factors that influence glucose. Glucose profiles of 20 adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS) without diabetes were assessed using the Freestyle Libre Pro CGM. Measures included mean 24-h glucose, coefficient of variation (%), % time in range (TIR 70–140 mg/dL), among others.

AbstractWhile environmental factors play an important role in weight loss effectiveness, genetics may also influence its success. We examined whether a genome-wide polygenic score for BMI was associated with weight loss effectiveness and aimed to identify common genetic variants associated with weight loss. Participants in the ONTIME study (n = 1210) followed a uniform, multimodal behavioral weight-loss intervention.

PA WireNew research suggests there may be a genetic link between anorexia and being someone who gets up early. People with the eating disorder often wake early and experience insomnia, the new study found. Experts say this differs from many other disorders which tend to be evening-based such as depression, binge-eating disorder and schizophrenia.

AbstractPrior research identified genetic variants influencing macronutrient preference, but whether genetic differences underlying nutrient preference affect long-term food choices is unknown. Here we examined the associations of polygenic scores for carbohydrate, fat, and protein preference with 12 months’ workplace food purchases among 397 hospital employees from the ChooseWell 365 study.
