Aims: People with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2DM) often delay initiating and titrating basal insulin. Patient-managed titration may reduce such deferral. The Italian Titration Approach Study (ITAS) compared the efficacy and safety of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) initiation and titration using patient- (nurse-supported) or physician-management in insulin-naïve patients with uncontrolled T2DM. Materials and methods: ITAS was a multicentre, phase IV, 24-week, open-label, randomized (1:1), parallel-group study.

Introduction: Management of malignant insulinomas is challenging due to the need to control both hypoglycaemic syndrome and tumor growth. Literature data is limited to small series. Aim of the study: To analyze clinico-pathological characteristics, treatments and prognosis of patients with malignant insulinoma. Materials and methods: Multicenter retrospective study on 31 patients (male: 61.3%) diagnosed between 1988 and 2017. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was 48 years. The mean NET diameter was 41 ± 31 mm, and 70.8% of NETs were G2.
