However, blood collection with NaF tubes show a decrease in glucose levels at room temperature within 4 h after blood collection [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines recommend immersion of blood samples collected with heparin-lithium (Hp-Li) in ice water within 30 min or the use of tubes containing NaF and citrate buffer (FC) [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. However, immediate immersion in ice water is difficult in clinical practice and citric acid is difficult to dissolve and is not suitable for HbA1c measurements because of hemolysis. Therefore, we aimed to develop blood collection tubes that are easier for clinical use than FC tubes and minimize blood glucose decline, compared with NaF tubes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We collected 2 mL of whole blood each tube. Immediately after blood collection, each tube was agitated on a mix rotator at 3000 rpm (1470 g) for 5 min and then stored under storage conditions until immediately before measurement. The aliquoted blood collection tubes were stored at room temperature (25°C) or refrigerated (4°C). Then, the aliquoted whole blood was plasma-separated by centrifugation immediately and 2, 4, 24, and 48 h after collection. Glucose was measured immediately after separation, as well as HbA1c.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Changes in blood glucose levels in the NaF, FI, and FC tubes are shown in Figure 1A–D. Blood glucose changes were significantly attenuated to a greater degree in FI tubes than in NaF tubes at 4°C and 25°C conditions 4 and 24 h after sampling, whereas the blood glucose-preserving abilities of FI tubes were significantly inferior to those of FC tubes, except the case when stored at 4°C for 4 h. Regarding the criteria required from ADA (within 6.1% of the baseline blood glucose levels), the storage of FI blood collection tubes at 4°C did not reduce blood glucose levels by &gt; 6.1%, which is the criteria required from ADA, in any sample up to 48 h, whereas the storage of FI blood collection tubes at room temperature reduced blood glucose levels by &gt; 6.1% in 1 of 10 cases after 24 h (Figure S2), which were much superior to the NF tubes (Figures S1 and S2).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, the enzymatic and immunoassay methods showed a significant difference with a &lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; value of 0.005 in FC blood tubes, whereas no significant difference was observed for the FI blood tubes (Figure 1E,E). Concordantly, no significant difference in hemolytic Hb levels was observed in the NaF and FI tubes, but not in FC tubes, compared with Hp-Li tubes (Figure S4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Regarding the mechanism, although the detail mechanisms will be published somewhere else, the inhibitory effects on ATP and glucose uptake decline in erythrocytes were considered.

Since the earliest clinical descriptions of diabetes, hypoglycemia has been recognized as a critical and sometimes life-threatening complication of glucose-lowering therapy [&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;]. In the early 20th century, with the advent of insulin therapy, hypoglycemia emerged as a new and immediate concern, often identified only after the onset of severe neuroglycopenic symptoms. Early detection relied primarily on clinical observation and patient self-reporting of warning signs, with little objective measurement available. The development of capillary blood glucose testing in the 1970s and 1980s marked a major advance, enabling both patients and clinicians to more accurately identify and document hypoglycemic episodes. Over the past two decades, the evaluation of hypoglycemia has been revolutionized by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies and the integration of predictive algorithms, which now allow for real-time detection, detailed glycemic profiling, and proactive management [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. This historical progression from symptom-based recognition to advanced digital monitoring reflects the ongoing commitment to improving safety and outcomes in diabetes care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, hypoglycemia remains a principal barrier to optimal glycemic control in diabetes, particularly for individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), who require intensive insulin regimens to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. While intensified therapy reduces long-term risks, it simultaneously increases the incidence of hypoglycemia, necessitating careful therapeutic balancing. A significant subset of individuals with T1DM—estimated at up to 25%—develop hypoglycemia unawareness, where autonomic warning symptoms such as sweating and tremor become attenuated or absent [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. This phenomenon greatly elevates the risk for severe events requiring external assistance, often forcing patients and clinicians to accept higher glucose targets than recommended [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;]. Thus, the fear and reality of hypoglycemia continue to restrict the full benefits of modern diabetes therapies and remain a central concern in clinical care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The implications of hypoglycemia extend well beyond transient physical symptoms. Acute episodes have been associated with a heightened risk of cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia, linked to autonomic surges and altered cardiac repolarization [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. Hypoglycemia may also induce a prothrombotic state, increasing platelet activation and coagulation, thereby further raising cardiovascular risk—an especially pertinent issue in people already predisposed to vascular disease [&lt;span&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;].

Logistic regression consistently indicated a reduced ESRD prevalence in higher DKR quartiles. In the longitudinal study, elevated β-OHB levels were associated with improved renal survival and a lower risk of ESRD, with RCS analysis identifying the lowest risk at approximately 0.25 mmol/L.

It generally emerges during childhood or adolescence, but individuals of any age can be affected. In contrast to Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which is often associated with lifestyle factors, T1DM cannot be prevented and necessitates lifelong management. Currently, there is no definitive cure for T1DM, and patients rely on continuous insulin injections for their entire lives. Ongoing developments in insulin treatment, such as insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring, and hybrid closed-loop systems, offer promising alternatives. Despite advancements in intensive glycemic control that have reduced the occurrence of microvascular and macrovascular complications, a significant number of T1DM patients still these issues. Extensive research efforts are crucial to achieve early detection, prevent the loss of β-cells, and devise improved treatment strategies to enhance the quality of life and prognosis for those affected.
