Lee J, Kim MH, Jang JY, Oh CM. Assessment HOMA as a predictor for new onset diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications in non-diabetic adults: a KoGES prospective cohort study. Clin Diabetes Endocrinol 2023; 9:7. [PMID: 37974292 PMCID: PMC10652621 DOI: 10.1186/s40842-023-00156-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a biomarker for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the role of HOMA-IR in the non-diabetic is unclear. This study aimed to determine whether IR measured HOMA-IR value is associated with new onset diabetes as well as vascular disease and can be used as an early predictor for diabetes and vascular diseases in non-diabetic participants. METHODS From a prospective community-based cohort of 10,030 individuals, 4314 individuals younger than 65 years and without diabetes were enrolled and divided into three groups by baseline HOMA-IR tertiles: low (n = 1454), moderate (n = 1414), and high (n = 1446). The primary outcome was new onset T2DM. Secondary outcomes were chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a composite of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke as macrovascular events. RESULTS The mean age was 51 years. The prevalence of hypertension and cholesterol and HbA1c were higher in the high HOMA-IR group. New onset T2DM (5.8%) and CKD (12.2%) incidence in the high HOMA-IR group was higher than that in the others. The prevalence of macrovascular events did not differ among groups. High-HOMA-IR was an independent risk factor for new onset T2DM (odds ratio 1.86 [1.17-2.96]; p = 0.01) and CKD (1.49 [1.12-1.98]; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS High HOMA-IR was an early predictor of new onset T2DM and CKD, regardless of HbA1c in non-diabetic individuals. Further research on the specific cut off value will be needed.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes promote microcirculation in aged diabetic mice by TGF-β1 signaling pathway. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:234. [PMID: 37968711 PMCID: PMC10652470 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01191-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular dysfunction is one of the most common pathological characteristics in Type 2 diabetes. Human mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (hUCMSCs-Exo) have diverse functions in improving microcirculation; however, the molecular mechanism of hUCMSCs-Exo in regulating burn-induced inflammation is not well understood. METHODS hUCMSCs-Exo were extracted by hypervelocity centrifugation method, and exosome morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy, exosome diameter distribution was detected by particle size analysis, and exosome specific proteins were identified by Western blot.2. DB/DB mice were randomly divided into exosomes group and PBS group. Exosomes and PBS were injected into the tail vein, respectively, and the calf muscle tissue was taken 28 days later. 0.5% Evans blue fluorescence assessment microvascular permeability. The expression of CD31 was detected by immunofluorescence.The morphology and function of microvessels in muscle tissue of lower limbs was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy.3. TMT proteomics was used to detect the changes of differential protein expression in lower limb muscle tissues of the PBS group and the exosome group, and data analysis was performed to screen key signal molecules and their involved biological pathways. Key signal molecules CD105 were verified by Western blot. The expression of TGF-β1 in exosomes were evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS Electron microscopy showed that hUCMSCs-Exo presented a uniform vesicle structure, and NTA showed that its diameter was about 160 nm. Western blot showed positive expression of specific proteins CD9, CD81 and TSG101 on exosomes.2. There is no significant change in blood glucose and body weight before and after the exosome treatment. The exosome group can significantly reduce the exudation of Evans blue. Compared with the PBS group. Meanwhile, CD31 immunofluorescence showed that the red fluorescence of exosome treatment was significantly increased, which was higher than that of PBS group. Transmission electron microscopy showed smooth capillary lumen and smooth and complete surface of endothelial cells in the exosome group, while narrow capillary lumen and fingerlike protrusion of endothelial cells in the PBS group.3.Quantitative analysis of TMT proteomics showed that there were 82 differential proteins, including 49 down-regulated proteins and 33 up-regulated proteins. Go enrichment analysis showed that the differential proteins were involved in molecular function, biological process, cell components,among which CD105 was one of the up-regulated proteins. Through literature search, CD105 was found to be related to endothelial cell proliferation. Therefore, this study verified the changes of CD105 in the exosome group, and it was used as the mechanism study of this study. 4. Western blot analysis showed that the expression of CD105 protein in lower limb muscle tissue of exosome group was significantly increased compared with that of PBS group. Based on the fact that CD105 is a component of the TGF-β1 receptor complex and exosomes are rich in growth factors and cytokines, this study further examined the expression of TGF-β1 in exosomes, and the results showed that exosomes had high expression of TGF-β1. CONCLUSION By improving the integrity of microvascular endothelial cells, hUCMSCs-Exo can improve the permeability of microvessels in diabetic lower muscle tissue, further promote the proliferation of lower limb muscle cells and inhibit the apoptosis of tissue cells. The mechanism may be associated with exosomes rich in TGF-β1, which is likely to promote endothelial cell proliferation and improve permeability through binding to the endothelial CD105/TβR-II receptor complex, while promoting angiogenesis and protecting skeletal muscle cells from apoptosis.

Effect of exercise interventions based on family management or self-management on glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:232. [PMID: 37957775 PMCID: PMC10644553 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01209-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most studies about exercise interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been conducted in hospitals or labs, but it is unclear whether study findings from this specific condition can be generalised to real-life T2DM communities. If patients with T2DM can exercise on their own or with family members, it may also reduce the need for patient supervision by medical staff, thereby reducing the burden of medical treatment and improving condition management's cost-effectiveness and practicability. Much of the current research on exercise interventions for T2DM was focused on the type of exercise and less on the mode of management, so we aimed to examine the effect of exercise interventions based on family management or self-management on glycaemic control in patients with T2DM. METHODS Articles were searched from eight Chinese and English databases. Randomized control trials (RCTs) published in English and Chinese, from inception to October 17, 2022, were included in this review. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the RCT risk of bias assessment tool provided by the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. Meta-analysis was performed using Rev Man 5.4 and Stata 15.0 software. Heterogeneity was investigated using sensitivity analysis and subgroup analyses. Publication bias was tested by funnel plot and Egger's asymmetry tests. RESULTS A total of 10 studies with a total of 913 subjects were finally included in this review. The Meta-analysis showed that exercise interventions based on family management or self-management were more effective than control groups in reducing HbA1c (Z = 3.90; 95% CI MD = - 0.81; - 1.21 to - 0.40; P < 0.0001), fasting glucose (Z = 4.63; 95% CI MD = - 1.17; - 1.67 to - 0.68; P < 0.00001), 2-h plasma glucose (Z = 5.53; 95% CI MD = - 1.84; - 2.50 to - 1.19; P < 0.00001), and Low-density lipoproteins levels (Z = 3.73; 95% CI MD = - 0.38; - 0.58 to - 0.18; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS Exercise interventions based on family management or self-management can significantly reduce glycosylated haemoglobin, fasting glucose, 2-h plasma glucose, and Low-density lipoproteins levels in patients with T2DM, which can effectively delay disease progression and reduce the risk of developing complications. In the future, for exercise interventions based on family or self-management, this review recommended that exercise intervention programmes should be formulated according to 30-60 min per session, more than three times per week, for more than six months of aerobic exercise or aerobic combined with resistance exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we evaluated the impact of hemoglobin (Hb) variants on the performance of the Abbott Alinity c and Bio-Rad Variant II Turbo 2.0 HPLC Hb A1c assays. METHODS The analytical performance of the Abbott Alinity c Hb A1c (enzymatic) assay was compared to the Bio-Rad Variant II Turbo 2.0 HPLC method using leftover whole blood EDTA samples with and without the presence of a hemoglobin variant. Assay precision was determined from an analysis of controls. Bias was estimated from analysis of a set of 40 samples analyzed by a Tosoh G8 HPLC instrument at the University of Missouri Diabetes Diagnostic Laboratory, an NGSP Secondary Reference Laboratory. RESULTS Between-day precision was excellent for both methods (<3%). Bias met NGSP criteria of ±5% to target value. Correlation between the Alinity and Bio-Rad methods was good for patient samples without a hemoglobinopathy (y = 1.028x - 0.38, standard error of the estimate (SEE) = 0.16, n = 36, mean bias = -0.22). A total of 700 hemoglobin variant samples were evaluated on the 2 methods. Of the hemoglobin variants, 640/700 gave results on both methods: hemoglobin (Hb) S trait (n = 452), C trait (n = 131), D trait (n = 23), E trait (n = 26), and a mixture of other hemoglobinopathies (n = 8) including beta thalassemia, high hemoglobin F, transfused Hb SC, transfused Hb SD, and transfused Hb SS, or unknown variant. There was good agreement for the 640 Hb variants between the methods with a range of mean differences of -0.10 to +0.06 depending on the variant, but more variability (SEE 0.25 to 0.39). Sixty samples did not have paired results. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this study was the largest investigation of the effect of hemoglobinopathies on the Abbott Alinity c Hb A1c assay. Analytical performance varied depending on the specific hemoglobin variant trait when compared to the Bio-Rad Variant II Turbo 2.0 HPLC method.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to determine the predictive values of fetal pancreas size and maternal serum biomarkers glycated albumin (GA) and insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective observational study including 109 pregnant women, the fetal pancreas size and maternal serum biomarkers GA and IRAP were measured at the gestational age of 20-22 weeks and later at the gestational age of 24-28 weeks, in 19 participants of them, GDM was confirmed with the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the fetal pancreas size was measured in all the participants again. RESULTS The median fetal pancreas sizes were significantly higher in women with or without GDM when measured at the 24-28 weeks of pregnancy compared to those at the 20-22 weeks of pregnancy (p < 0.05). At both of the 20-22 and 24-28 weeks of pregnancy, the median values of fetal pancreas sizes in the women with or without GDM were found comparable (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences between pregnant women with or without GDM regarding maternal serum biomarkers GA and IRAP (p > 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed no meaningful association of study parameters with the development of GDM. CONCLUSION The fetal pancreas size and maternal serum biomarkers GA and IRAP provide no potential for early prediction of GDM at the 20-22 weeks of gestation. Further studies, including serial measurement of these parameters during the second and third trimesters of GDM pregnancies, may clarify their role in the antenatal care of women with GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes, a leading cause of visual impairment, is on the rise in Canada. We assessed trends in the prevalence of visual impairment among people in Canada with and without diabetes to inform the development of strategies and policies for the management of visual impairment. METHODS We analyzed self-reported data from respondents aged 45 years and older in 7 cycles of nationwide surveys (National Population Health Survey and Canadian Community Health Survey) from 1994/95 to 2013/14. The age- and sex-standardized prevalence of visual impairment was calculated. We assessed comparisons by levels of education and income, using sex-standardized prevalence owing to sparse data. RESULTS Among people in Canada with diabetes, the age- and sex-standardized prevalence of visual impairment was 7.37% (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.31%-9.43%) in 1994/95 and 1996/97 combined, decreasing to 3.03% (95% CI 2.48%-3.57%) in 2013/14, giving a standardized prevalence ratio of 0.41 (95% CI 0.30-0.56) comparing 2013/14 with 1994/95 and 1996/97 combined. Among people in Canada without diabetes, visual impairment prevalence decreased from 3.72% (95% CI 3.31%-4.14%) in 1994/95 and 1996/97 combined to 1.69% (95% CI 1.52%-1.87%) in 2013/14, with a standardized prevalence ratio of 0.45 (95% CI 0.40-0.52). Decreased sex-standardized prevalence of visual impairment was observed among people with high and low education levels and incomes among those with and without diabetes. INTERPRETATION Visual impairment prevalence was roughly 2 times higher among those with versus without diabetes in all survey years; from 1994 to 2014, visual impairment prevalence decreased among those with and without diabetes irrespective of education and income levels. These results suggest effective collective efforts by clinicians, researchers, the public and government.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Certain clinical events reduce life expectancy and necessitate a reassessment of patient treatment. OBJECTIVE To describe medication changes in relation to a cancer diagnosis and the end of life and to highlight challenges and limitations with such descriptions. METHODS From a cohort with all Danish patients with type 2 diabetes, we matched patients with incident cancer during 2000-2021 (n = 41,745) with patients without cancer (n = 166,994) using propensity scores. We described their medication usage from cancer diagnosis until death. RESULTS The 1- and 5-year mortality were 51% and 86%, respectively, in the cancer group, and 13% and 59% in the non-cancer group. In relation to cancer diagnosis and death, the use of symptomatic medications (e.g., opioids, benzodiazepines) increased (10-60 incident medications per 100 patient-months), and the use of preventive medications (e.g., antihypertensives, statins) decreased (5-30% fewer users). The changes in relation to the diagnosis were driven by patients with short observed lengths of survival (< 2 years). In contrast, changes occurring within a year before death were less dependent on survival strata, and > 60% used preventive medications in their last months. CONCLUSIONS Medication changes in relation to a cancer diagnosis were frequent and correlated to the length of survival. The results showcase the challenges and limited clinical utility of anchoring analyses on events or death. While the former diluted the results by averaging changes across patients with vastly different clinical courses, the latter leveraged information unavailable to the treating clinicians. While medication changes were common near death, preventive medications were often used until death.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Assessment of glucose exposure via glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has limitations for interpretation in individuals with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The glucose management indicator (GMI) derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data could be an alternative. However, the concordance between HbA1c measured in laboratory and GMI (HbA1c-GMI) is uncertain in individuals with CKD. The purpose of this study is to analyze this discrepancy. MATERIAL AND METHOD We performed a multicentric, retrospective, observational study. A group of individuals with diabetes and CKD (n = 170) was compared with a group of individuals with diabetes without CKD (n = 185). All individuals used an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM). A comparison of 14-day and 90-day glucose data recorded by the isCGM was performed to calculate GMI and the discordance between lab HbA1c and GMI was analyzed by a Bland-Altman method and linear regression. RESULTS HbA1c-GMI discordance was significantly higher in the CKD group versus without CKD group (0.78 ± 0.57 [0.66-0.90] vs 0.59 ± 0.44 [0.50-0.66]%, P < .005). An absolute difference >0.5% was found in 68.2% of individuals with CKD versus 42.2% of individuals without CKD. We suggest a new specific formula to estimate HbA1c from the linear regression between HbA1c and mean glucose CGM, namely CKD-GMI = 0.0261 × 90-day mean glucose (mg/L) + 3.5579 (r2 = 0.59). CONCLUSIONS HbA1c-GMI discordance is frequent and usually in favor of an HbA1c level higher than the GMI value, which can lead to errors in changes in glucose-lowering therapy, especially for individuals with CKD. This latter population should benefit from the CGM to measure their glucose exposure more precisely.

[PMID: 37915902 PMCID: PMC10616475 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfad186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The 'legacy effect' refers to the long-term benefits of intensive therapy that are observed long after the end of clinical trials and trial interventions in chronic diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. It emphasizes the importance of intensive treatment to prevent long-term complications and mortality. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the legacy effect is evident in various studies. Long-term nephroprotection in diabetes is well documented in major studies in the early stages of diabetes, such as Diabetes Control and Complications Trial-Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT-EDIC), UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) and Intensified Multifactorial Intervention in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Microalbuminuria (STENO-2). These studies highlight the importance of intensive glycaemic control in reducing microvascular complications, including nephropathy, in patients with recently diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However, the legacy effect is less evident in patients with long-term, established diabetes. In chronic glomerulonephritis, studies on immunoglobulin A nephropathy showed that early immunosuppressive treatment could have long-term beneficial effects on kidney function in children and adults with CKD. The Frequent Hemodialysis (FH) and the EXerCise Introduction To Enhance Performance in Dialysis (EXCITE) trials indicated that frequent haemodialysis and a personalized walking exercise program could improve clinical outcomes and reduce the long-term risk of death and hospitalization. The legacy effect concept underscores the importance of intensive intervention in chronic diseases, including CKD. This concept has significant implications for public health and warrants in-depth basic and clinical research to be better understood and exploited in clinical practice. However, its limitations should be considered when interpreting long-term observational data collected after a clinical trial. Appropriate study designs are necessary to investigate an unbiased legacy effect.

Abstract
Arguably, diabetes mellitus is one of the best quantified human conditions. In the past 50 years, the metabolic monitoring technologies progressed from occasional assessment of average glycemia via HbA1c, through episodic blood glucose readings, to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) producing data points every few minutes. The high-temporal resolution of CGM data enabled increasingly intensive treatments, from decision support assisting insulin injection or oral medication, to automated closed-loop control, known as the "artificial pancreas." Throughout this progress, mathematical models and computer simulation of the human metabolic system became indispensable for the technological progress of diabetes treatment, enabling every step, from assessment of insulin sensitivity via the now classic Minimal Model of Glucose Kinetics, to in silico trials replacing animal experiments, to automated insulin delivery algorithms. In this review, we follow these developments, beginning with the Minimal Model, which evolved through the years to become large and comprehensive and trigger a paradigm change in the design of diabetes optimization strategies: in 2007, we introduced a sophisticated model of glucose-insulin dynamics and a computer simulator equipped with a "population" of N = 300 in silico "subjects" with type 1 diabetes. In January 2008, in an unprecedented decision, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted this simulator as a substitute to animal trials for the pre-clinical testing of insulin treatment strategies. This opened the field for rapid and cost-effective development and pre-clinical testing of new treatment approaches, which continues today. Meanwhile, animal experiments for the purpose of designing new insulin treatment algorithms have been abandoned.

Abstract
AIMS To identify longitudinal trajectories of glycemic control among adults with newly diagnosed diabetes, overall and by diabetes type. METHODS We analyzed claims data from OptumLabs® Data Warehouse for 119,952 adults newly diagnosed diabetes between 2005 and 2018. We applied a novel Mixed Effects Machine Learning model to identify longitudinal trajectories of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) over 3 years of follow-up and used multinomial regression to characterize factors associated with each trajectory. RESULTS The study population was comprised of 119,952 adults with newly diagnosed diabetes, including 696 (0.58%) with type 1 diabetes. Among patients with type 1 diabetes, 52.6% were diagnosed at very high HbA1c, partially improved, but never achieved control; 32.5% were diagnosed at low HbA1c and deteriorated over time; and 14.9% had stable low HbA1c. Among patients with type 2 diabetes, 67.7% had stable low HbA1c, 14.4% were diagnosed at very high HbA1c, partially improved, but never achieved control; 10.0% were diagnosed at moderately high HbA1c and deteriorated over time; and 4.9% were diagnosed at moderately high HbA1c and improved over time. CONCLUSIONS Claims data identified distinct longitudinal trajectories of HbA1c after diabetes diagnosis, which can be used to anticipate challenges and individualize care plans to improve glycemic control.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that women and racial and ethnic minority patients are at increased risk of developing lower extremity peripheral artery disease and suffering adverse outcomes from it, but a knowledge gap remains regarding the underlying causes of these increased risks. Both groups are more likely to be underdiagnosed, have poorly managed contributory comorbidities, and incur disparities in treatment and management postdiagnosis. Opportunities for improvement in the care of women and racial and ethnic minorities with peripheral artery disease include increased rates of screening, higher rates of clinical suspicion (particularly in the absence of typical symptoms of intermittent claudication), and more aggressive risk factor management before and after the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND This study investigates the long-term efficacy and safety of evogliptin add-on therapy in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) previously received dapagliflozin and metformin (DAPA/MET) combination. METHODS In this multicenter randomized placebo-controlled phase 3 trial, patients with glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels 7.0% to 10.5% (n=283) previously used DAPA 10 mg plus MET (≥1,000 mg) were randomly assigned to the evogliptin 5 mg once daily or placebo group (1:1). The primary endpoint was the difference in the HbA1c level from baseline at week 24, and exploratory endpoints included the efficacy and safety of evogliptin over 52 weeks (trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04170998). RESULTS Evogliptin add-on to DAPA/MET therapy was superior in HbA1c reduction compared to placebo at weeks 24 and 52 (least square [LS] mean difference, -0.65% and -0.55%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.79 to -0.51 and -0.71 to -0.39; P<0.0001). The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% was higher in the triple combination group at week 52 (32.14% vs. 8.51% in placebo; odds ratio, 5.62; P<0.0001). Evogliptin significantly reduced the fasting glucose levels and mean daily glucose levels with improvement in homeostatic model assessment of β-cell function (LS mean difference, 9.04; 95% CI, 1.86 to 16.21; P=0.0138). Adverse events were similar between the groups, and no serious adverse drug reactions were reported in the evogliptin group. CONCLUSION Long-term triple combination with evogliptin added to DAPA/MET showed superior HbA1c reduction and glycemic control compared to placebo at 52 weeks and was well tolerated.

Abstract
PURPOSE To date, no study has demonstrated the role of transdermal 17β-estradiol + norethisterone acetate on all of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women. To overcome this knowledge gap, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to determine the effects of this combination treatment on BMI, body weight, waist/hip ratio, fibrinogen, factor VII, lipoprotein(a), fasting blood sugar, insulin, HbA1c, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TC in postmenopausal women. METHODS PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant articles published between the inception of each database and April 6, 2023. The sample size and mean (SD) were used to calculate overall effect size using a random-effects model. FINDINGS A total of 10 articles with 14 arms were included in the meta-analysis. On pooled analysis of effect size, fibrinogen (weighted mean difference [WMD], -0.18 g/L; 95% CI, -0.25 to -0.10), factor VII (WMD, -9.58; 95% CI, -12.51 to -6.64), LDL-C (WMD, -13.09 mg/dL; 95% CI, -18.48 to -7.71), and TC (WMD, -12.61 mg/dL; 95% CI, -18.11 to -7.12) were significantly affected with the use of transdermal 17β-estradiol + norethisterone acetate (all, P < 0.001), but effects on lipoprotein(a), TG, HDL-C, fasting blood sugar, insulin, HbA1c, BMI, body weight, and waist/hip ratio were not significant. IMPLICATIONS Based on the findings from the present systematic review and meta-analysis, it was concluded that transdermal administration of 17β-estradiol + norethisterone acetate had beneficial impacts on fibrinogen, factor VII, LDL-C, and TC, suggesting a possible application in the reduction of cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
Early and intensive treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been associated with lower risk of diabetes-related complications. Control of overweight and obesity, which are strongly associated with T2D and many of its complications, is also key in the management of the disease. New therapies allow for individualised glycaemic control targets with greater safety. Thus, in patients with a higher cardiovascular and renal risk profile, current guidelines encourage early treatment with metformin together with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors with proven cardiovascular benefit. GLP-1 RAs combine highly efficacious glucose-lowering activity with a reduced risk of hypoglycaemia. Recently, tirzepatide, a first-in-class drug that activates both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 receptors, has demonstrated very high efficacy in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and weight reduction in clinical trials. Tirzepatide has the potential to help people with T2D reach recommended glycaemic and weight targets (HbA1c < 7% and > 5% weight reduction) and to allow some patients to reach HbA1c measurements close to normal physiological levels and substantial weight reduction. In 2022, tirzepatide was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency for treatment of people with T2D and is currently in development for chronic weight management.

Abstract
AIMS Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are effective treatments for type 2 diabetes, effectively lowering glucose without weight gain and with low risk for hypoglycemia. However, their influence on the retinal neurovascular unit remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the effects of the GLP-1 RA lixisenatide on diabetic retinopathy. METHODS Vasculo- and neuroprotective effects were assessed in experimental diabetic retinopathy and high glucose-cultivated C. elegans, respectively. In STZ-diabetic Wistar rats, acellular capillaries and pericytes (quantitative retinal morphometry), neuroretinal function (mfERG), macroglia (GFAP western blot) and microglia (immunohistochemistry) quantification, methylglyoxal (LC-MS/MS) and retinal gene expressions (RNA-sequencing) were determined. The antioxidant properties of lixisenatide were tested in C. elegans. RESULTS Lixisenatide had no effect on glucose metabolism. Lixisenatide preserved the retinal vasculature and neuroretinal function. The macro- and microglial activation was mitigated. Lixisenatide normalized some gene expression changes in diabetic animals to control levels. Ets2 was identified as a regulator of inflammatory genes. In C. elegans, lixisenatide showed the antioxidative property. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that lixisenatide has a protective effect on the diabetic retina, most likely due to a combination of neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of lixisenatide on the neurovascular unit.

Abstract
Near normal glycaemic control in diabetes consists to target daily glucose fluctuations and quarterly HbA1c oscillations in addition to overall glucose exposure. Consequently, the prerequisite is to define simple, and mathematically undisputable key metrics for the short- and long-term variability in glucose homeostasis. As the standard deviations (SD) of either glucose or HbA1c are dependent on their means, the coefficient of variation (CV = SD/mean) should be applied instead as it that avoids the correlation between the SD and mean values. A CV glucose of 36% is the most appropriate threshold between those with stable versus labile glucose homeostasis. However, when near normal mean glucose concentrations are achieved a lower CV threshold of <27 % is necessary for reducing the risk for hypoglycaemia to a minimal rate. For the long-term variability in glucose homeostasis, a CVHbA1c < 5 % seems to be a relevant recommendation for preventing adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have an increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. These patients require optimal glucose control to prevent the progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Contemporary guidelines recommend an HbA1c ≤7% to mitigate this risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate HbA1c control in T2DM patients with angiographically proven ASCVD. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, retrospective study on consecutive T2DM patients with acute and chronic coronary syndromes managed in a tertiary academic hospital in South Africa. Glycaemic control was assessed by evaluating the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level measured at index presentation with acute and chronic coronary syndromes and during the most recent follow-up visit. Results The study population comprised 262 T2DM patients with a mean age of 61.3 ± 10.4 years. At index presentation, 110 (42.0%) T2DM patients presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, 69 (26.3%) had non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, 43 (16.4%) had unstable angina, and 40 (15.3%) had stable angina. After a median duration of 16.5 months (IQR: 7-29), 28.7% of the study participants had an HbA1c ≤7%. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, females were less likely to have poor glycaemic control (HbA1c above 7%) [odds ratio (OR): 0.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.19-0.95, p=0.038]. Also, T2DM patients prescribed metformin monotherapy (OR: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.14-0.82, p=0.017) and patients with ST-segment depression on the electrocardiogram (OR: 0.39, 95% CI: 0.16-0.96, p=0.041) were less likely to have poor glycaemic control. Conclusion After a median duration of 16.5 months, only 28.7% of T2DM patients with CAD had an HbA1c ≤7%. This finding underscores the substantial unmet need for optimal diabetes control in this very high-risk group.

Haghighinejad H, Malekpour F, Jooya P. Evaluation of the knowledge and practice of family physicians in the management of diabetes mellitus type 2 in Iran. BMC PRIMARY CARE 2023; 24:222. [PMID: 37891459 PMCID: PMC10612364 DOI: 10.1186/s12875-023-02183-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing prevalence and occurrence of type 2 diabetes has made it a widespread epidemic. Being the first line of care, family doctors can play an essential role in this field. The knowledge of these doctors about how to deal with the prevention, diagnosis, and correct treatment of patients is fundamental in reducing the burden of this disease in the community. In this study, we decided to evaluate the knowledge and practice of family doctors in Shiraz-Iran and its related factors in managing Diabetes. METHOD This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among family doctors of two primary healthcare centers, Shahadai Wal-Fajr Health Center and the Enghlab Health Center in Shiraz, Iran, from March 2021 to August 2021. A researcher-designed diabetes questionnaire consisting of 21 items and a data collection form including demographic information and other related factors was used in this study. An interviewer asked the questions from participants at their workplace and completed the questionnaires. The data were analyzed by SPSS-20 software. A linear regression test was used to investigate the factors affecting the questionnaire score. A one-way ANOVA test was used to compare questionnaire scores among multiple groups. RESULTS On average, the participants obtained 62.5% of the total score. The average scores for each question in the screening, the diagnosis, and the treatment sections were 0.5 ± 0.28, 0.65 ± 0.2, and 0.66 ± 0.17, respectively. Physicians' knowledge about the blood sugar threshold for diagnosing Diabetes was suboptimal, and 81.9, 47, 43 correctly mentioned the FBS, 2hrpp BS, and HbA1c threshold, respectively. Although 95% knew the first line medication but 33.6% prescribed 2nd or 3rd medication for DM treatment. Only 43% knew the goal of therapy. Sixty-three doctors (42%) have not registered any referrals for newly diagnosed uncomplicated diabetic patients, and 37.6% referred these new DM cases to an internist or endocrinologist at the first visit. Microvascular complication screening, such as testing for microalbuminuria and ophthalmologist consultation reported by 32. 89% and 8% of physicians, respectively. Years since graduation was the determining factor of the knowledge level of doctors in this study. Regarding the preferred education method, most participants selected the workshop method as the preferred training method. Virtual education was ranked as the second preferred educational method. CONCLUSION The knowledge and practice of general family doctors were lower than the optimal level in diabetes screening, diagnosis, and treatment. In the treatment of patients, the knowledge of most of the physicians was appropriate in the early stages of treatment, such as determining the time to start the medication and the first line of treatment, but in the follow-up and more advanced treatment, the knowledge and performance of the doctors were less than expected. They prefer to refer patients to higher levels in the healthcare system. Recently graduated physicians had better knowledge and approach to DM management. Therefore, effective periodic training should be conducted as soon as possible to address this pitfall and improve the quality of care. Workshops and virtual education were the most preferred education methods from the participants' points of view. So, it is suggested that these methods be used as the first training methods. Implementing the specialty training program for family medicine (which has been started in our country for a few years) is the best final solution. In addition, A clinical guideline should be designed for family physicians highlighting these physicians' roles in the management of Diabetes.

Glycemic control, HbA1c variability, and major cardiovascular adverse outcomes in type 2 diabetes patients with elevated cardiovascular risk: insights from the ACCORD study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:287. [PMID: 37891565 PMCID: PMC10612188 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02026-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although recent guidelines advocate for HbA1c target individualization, a comprehensive criterion for patient categorization remains absent. This study aimed to categorize HbA1c variability levels and explore the relationship between glycemic control, cardiovascular outcomes, and mortality across different degrees of variability. METHODS Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes study data were used. HbA1c variability was measured using the HbA1c variability score (HVS) and standard deviation (SD). K-means and K-medians clustering were used to combine the HVS and SD. RESULTS K-means clustering was the most stable algorithm with the lowest clustering similarities. In the low variability group, intensive glucose-lowering treatment significantly reduced the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes (HR: 0·78 [95% CI: 0·63, 0·97]) without increasing mortality risk (HR: 1·07 [0.81, 1·42]); the risk of adverse cardiovascular events (HR: 1·33 [1·14, 1·56]) and all-cause mortality (HR: 1·23 [1·01,1·51]) increased with increasing mean HbA1c. In the high variability group, treatment increased the risk of cardiovascular events (HR: 2.00 [1·54, 2·60]) and mortality (HR: 2·20 [1·66, 2·92]); a higher mean HbA1c (7·86%, [7·66%, 8·06%]) had the lowest mortality risk, when the mean HbA1c was < 7·86%, a higher mean HbA1c was associated with a lower mortality risk (HR: 0·63 [0·42, 0·95]). In the medium variability group, a mean HbA1c around 7·5% was associated with the lowest risk. CONCLUSIONS HbA1c variability can guide glycemic control targets for patients with type 2 diabetes. For patients with low variability, the lower the HbA1c, the lower the risk. For those with medium variability, controlling HbA1c at 7·5% provides the maximum benefit. For patients with high variability, a mean HbA1c of around 7·8% presents the lowest risk of all-cause mortality, a lower HbA1c did not provide cardiovascular benefits but instead increased the mortality risk. Further studies, especially those with patients that reflect the general population with type 2 diabetes undergoing the latest therapeutic approaches, are essential to validate the conclusions of this study.

The Role of Vitamin D and Its Molecular Bases in Insulin Resistance, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome, and Cardiovascular Disease: State of the Art. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15485. [PMID: 37895163 PMCID: PMC10607188 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242015485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In the last decade, an increasing awareness was directed to the role of Vitamin D in non-skeletal and preventive roles for chronic diseases. Vitamin D is an essential hormone in regulating calcium/phosphorous balance and in the pathogenesis of inflammation, insulin resistance, and obesity. The main forms of vitamin D, Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) and Ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2) are converted into the active form (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) thanks to two hydroxylations in the liver, kidney, pancreas, and immune cells. Some anti-inflammatory cytokines are produced at higher levels by vitamin D, while some pro-inflammatory cytokines are released at lower levels. Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) expression is increased, and a pro-inflammatory state is also linked to low levels of vitamin D. Regardless of how it affects inflammation, various pathways suggest that vitamin D directly improves insulin sensitivity and secretion. The level of vitamin D in the body may change the ratio of pro- to anti-inflammatory cytokines, which would impact insulin action, lipid metabolism, and the development and function of adipose tissue. Many studies have demonstrated an inverse relationship between vitamin D concentrations and pro-inflammatory markers, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, metabolic syndrome, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. It is interesting to note that several long-term studies also revealed an inverse correlation between vitamin D levels and the occurrence of diabetes mellitus. Vitamin D supplementation in people has controversial effects. While some studies demonstrated improvements in insulin sensitivity, glucose, and lipid metabolism, others revealed no significant effect on glycemic homeostasis and inflammation. This review aims to provide insight into the molecular basis of the relationship between vitamin D, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, type 1 and 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The authors trialed a mobile application, DiabetesXcel, which included type 2 diabetes-focused educational videos and modules, in 50 adults of Bronx, NY, a region with a high prevalence of diabetes and diabetes complications. From baseline to 4 months and from baseline to 6 months, there was significantly improved quality of life, self-management, knowledge, self-efficacy, depression, A1C, and LDL cholesterol among those who used DiabetesXcel. There was also a significant decrease in diabetes-related emergency department visits and hospital admissions from baseline to 6 months. This study demonstrates that DiabetesXcel could be beneficial for type 2 diabetes management.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate retinal vascular perfusion and density by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) before, during, and after hypoglycemia in individuals with diabetes mellitus with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods A focused clinical history was performed, followed by an ophthalmological examination to document retinopathy status. OCTA was performed at baseline, at hypoglycemia, and at glucose normalization. Eye tracking and eye alignment devices on the platform were used to obtain a macular thickness cube (512 × 128) and vascular perfusion and density protocols of 3 × 3 mm. Retinal vascular reactivity was analyzed with superficial plexus vascular perfusion and density protocols on OCTA. Results Fifty-two participants encompassing 97 eyes fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Their mean age was 42.9 ± 15.1 years (range, 22 to 65), and 20 (38.2%) were men. We found a statistically significant difference in vascular perfusion and density when comparing all groups at baseline. The controls had higher vascular perfusion and density values than the cases. Vascular perfusion and density were significantly reduced in all groups during the hypoglycemia episode, except for vascular density in DR cases. Conclusion Acute hypoglycemia significantly alters the retinal vascularity in DM patients with and without DR, suggesting that repeated episodes of acute hypoglycemia could exacerbate retinopathy in the long term.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1207. [PMID: 37892937 PMCID: PMC10604272 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10101207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
To reduce the error induced by overfitting or underfitting in predicting non-invasive fasting blood glucose (NIBG) levels using photoplethysmography (PPG) data alone, we previously demonstrated that incorporating HbA1c led to a notable 10% improvement in NIBG prediction accuracy (the ratio in zone A of Clarke's error grid). However, this enhancement came at the cost of requiring an additional HbA1c measurement, thus being unfriendly to users. In this study, the enhanced HbA1c NIBG deep learning model (blood glucose level predicted from PPG and HbA1c) was trained with 1494 measurements, and we replaced the HbA1c measurement (explicit HbA1c) with "implicit HbA1c" which is reversely derived from pretested PPG and finger-pricked blood glucose levels. The implicit HbA1c is then evaluated across intervals up to 90 days since the pretest, achieving an impressive 87% accuracy, while the remaining 13% falls near the CEG zone A boundary. The implicit HbA1c approach exhibits a remarkable 16% improvement over the explicit HbA1c method by covering personal correction items automatically. This improvement not only refines the accuracy of the model but also enhances the practicality of the previously proposed model that relied on an HbA1c input. The nonparametric Wilcoxon paired test conducted on the percentage error of implicit and explicit HbA1c prediction results reveals a substantial difference, with a p-value of 2.75 × 10-7.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-known risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the mechanism(s) by which DM affects AF prevalence remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the impact of diabetes mellitus severity (expressed as its known duration), antihyperglycemic treatment regimen and glycaemic control on AF prevalence. From the representative sample of 3014 participants (mean age 77.5, 49.1% female) from the cross-sectional NOMED-AF study, 881 participants (mean age 77.6 ± 0.25, 46.4% female) with concomitant DM were involved in the analysis. AF was screened using a telemonitoring vest for a mean of 21.9 ± 9.1 days. The mean DM duration was 12 ± 0.35 years, but no significant impact of DM timespan on AF prevalence was observed. No differences in the treatment pattern (oral medication vs insulin vs both oral + insulin) among the study population with and without AF were shown (p = 0.106). Metabolic control reflected by HbA1c levels showed no significant association with AF and silent AF prevalence (p = 0.635; p = 0.094). On multivariate analyses, age (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.35, 95%CI: 1.18-1.53, p < 0.001), p = 0.042), body mass index (BMI; OR 1.043, 95%CI: 1.01-1.08, p = 0.027) and LDL < 100 mg/dl (OR 0.64, 95%CI: 0.42-0.97, p = 0.037) were independent risk factors for AF prevalence, while age (OR 1.45, 95%CI: 1.20-1.75, p < 0.001), LDL < 100 mg/dl (OR 0.43, 95%CI 0.23-0.82, p = 0.011), use of statins (OR 0.51, 95%CI: 0.28-0.94, p = 0.031) and HbA1c ≤ 6.5 (OR 0.46, 95%CI: 0.25-0.85, p = 0.013) were associated with silent AF prevalence. Diabetes duration, diabetic treatment pattern or metabolic control per se did not significantly impact the prevalence of AF, including silent AF detected by prospective continuous monitoring. Independent predictors of AF were age, BMI and low LDL levels, with statins and HbA1c ≤ 6.5 being additional independent predictors for silent AF.Trial registration: NCT03243474.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of the self-management of insulin titration based on information received by the Short Message Service (SMS). METHODS A case-control study including 59 subjects in each arm with 16 weeks of follow-up was performed. The inclusion criteria were: (1) Subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) under basal insulin treatment; (2) Suboptimal glycemic control: HbA1c ≥ 7.5% and fasting capillary blood glucose (FCBG) > 140 mg/dL (>3 times per week). Subjects were invited to use an insulin titration service based on SMS feedback aimed at optimizing glycemic control depending on fasting blood glucose levels. Psychological aspects were evaluated in the interventional group by means of validated questionnaires (DDS, HADS and SF-12). RESULTS The intervention group achieved a lower mean FCBG (126 mg/dL ± 34 vs. 149 mg/dL ± 46, p = 0.001) and lower HbA1c (7.5% ± 1.3 vs. 7.9% ± 0.9, p = 0.021) than the control group. In addition, the intervention group showed a significant improvement in psychological aspects related to Emotional Burden (p = 0.031), Regimen Distress (p < 0.001), Depression (p = 0.049) and Mental Health (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The SMS-guided titration was effective in terms of improving glucometric parameters in comparison with the standard of care and improved significant psychological aspects-mainly, the stress associated with insulin treatment.

Abstract
New European medical device regulations require the performance of postmarketing surveillance evaluations for blood glucose meters (BGMs). We conducted an ISO15197:2015-conform system performance evaluation with the approved glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)-based Wellion NEWTON BGM. One hundred subjects were enrolled into the study (44 female, 56 male, 43 healthy subjects, 23 type 1 diabetes, 34 type 2 diabetes, age: 53.7 ± 15.8 years). In addition, manipulated heparinized whole blood was used for a laboratory interference test with ten selected substances (interference definition: substance-induced bias > 10%). The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) was 4.7%, and 100% of the values were in zones A (99.7%) and B (0.3%), respectively, of the consensus error grid. Interference was observed with xylose only, which is a known interfering substance for GDH-based BGMs.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome is a condition where is a bidirectional and mutually detrimental relationship between the heart and kidneys. The mechanisms underlying cardiorenal syndrome are multifactorial and complex. Patients with kidney disease exhibit increased cardiovascular risk, presenting as coronary and peripheral artery disease, structural heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death, largely occurring because of a systemic proinflammatory state, causing myocardial and vascular remodeling, manifesting as atherosclerotic lesions, vascular and valvular calcification, and myocardial fibrosis, particularly among those with advanced disease. This review summarizes the current understanding and clinical implications of kidney disease in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a crucial marker of glucose control that is widely utilized in the management of diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a diabetes management program (DMP) offered by a health insurance company, together with the effects of other factors associated with patient and physician characteristics, on the frequency of HbA1c testing in outpatient diabetes clinics in Slovakia. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted to compare the frequency of HbA1c measurements in patients under the care of physicians participating in the DMP with those who did not, spanning the years 2015 to 2019. In 2019, a total of 74,384 patients with diabetes were included in the analysis, of which 52% were men and 48% were women, with an average age of 64.1 years. RESULTS At the end of the study period, the average annual number of HbA1c measurements was significantly higher in patients treated by physicians participating in the DMP than in patients treated by physicians who were not (2.50 vs. 1.91 per year, respectively; P < 0.001). There was a substantial increase in HbA1c testing at least twice yearly in both groups, but the growth rate was greater in the group with DMP-engaged diabetologists (14.3%) compared to the diabetes specialists who were not involved in the DMP (5.1%). In the multivariate analysis, participation in the DMP was correlated with an increase in HbA1c tests per year by 0.7. CONCLUSIONS Physician participation in a DMP was found to significantly increase the number of HbA1c tests ordered by physicians, potentially leading to improved glycemic control.

Abstract
Background: Studies have reported significantly higher hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in African American patients than in White patients with the same mean glucose, but less is known about other racial/ethnic groups. We evaluated racial/ethnic differences in the association between mean glucose, based on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, and A1C. Methods: Retrospective study among 1788 patients with diabetes from Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) who used CGM devices during 2016 to 2021. In this study population, there were 5264 A1C results; mean glucose was calculated from 124,388,901 CGM readings captured during the 90 days before each A1C result. Hierarchical mixed models were specified to estimate racial/ethnic differences in the association between mean glucose and A1C. Results: Mean A1C was 0.33 (95% confidence interval: 0.23-0.44; P < 0.0001) percentage points higher among African American patients relative to White patients for a given mean glucose. A1C results for Asians, Latinos, and multiethnic patients were not significantly different from those of White patients. The slope of the association between mean glucose and A1C did not differ significantly across racial/ethnic groups. Variance for the association between mean glucose and A1C was substantially greater within groups than between racial/ethnic groups (65% vs. 9%, respectively). Conclusions: For African American patients, A1C results may overestimate glycemia and could lead to premature diabetes diagnoses, overtreatment, or invalid assessments of health disparities. However, most of the variability in the mean glucose-A1C association was within racial/ethnic groups. Treatment decisions driven by guideline-based A1C targets should be individualized and supported by direct measurement of glycemia.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to determine the attitudes of patients with type 2 diabetes toward insulin treatment and complementary alternative medicine and to examine the relationship between them. METHOD A cross-sectional design was used in the study. A total of 293 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in the study. The study data were collected by using a Descriptive Information Form, Complementary, Alternative and Conventional Medicine Attitude Scale (CACMAS), and the Insulin Treatment Appraisal Scale (ITAS). The factors related to the attitudes of patients with type 2 diabetes toward insulin were examined by using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS It was determined that 36.5% of the patients used CAM, 49.8% received insulin therapy, and that 38.6% received oral antidiabetic treatment. Patients' mean score on the total CACMAS was 106.8 ± 19.7, indicating a moderately positive attitude. Their mean score on the total ITAS was 57.1 ± 11.6, suggesting that they had a negative attitude toward insulin therapy. In regular drug use, negative attitudes toward insulin decreased (β = -0.151, p < 0.001), and when dissatisfaction with conventional medicine increased, negative attitudes toward insulin increased, as well (β = -0.432p<0.05). CONCLUSION While almost all of the patients (93.9%) had a negative attitude toward insulin, they had a moderately positive attitude toward the use of CAM. A significant portion of them (36.5%) stated that they used CAM. There was a weak positive correlation between attitude toward CAM and negative attitude toward insulin.

Abstract
While the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise worldwide, with 537 million adults aged 20-79-years-old having diabetes in 2021, the development of new therapeutic classes improving not only glycemic control but also kidney function and cardiovascular prevention has revolutionized patient care. Today, the treatment of diabetes is no longer just the treatment of blood sugar level. In this context, the individualized therapeutic strategy has been completely reviewed, with in particular sulfamides indicated much later in the therapeutic strategy, while SGLT2 inhibitors are indicated very early in patients with kidney disease and/or with ischemic heart disease or chronic heart failure, and GLP-1 analogues in obese patients and/or in primary or secondary cardiovascular prevention. As for lifestyle rules and metformin, they remain the cornerstone of treatment. Knowledge of antidiabetic effects in terms of efficacy and hypoglycemic risk, of cardiovascular, nephroprotective and weight effects is essential to optimize the management of diabetic patients today.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder manifested by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and deteriorating beta-cell function. A way to prevent progression of the disease might be to enhance beta-cell function and insulin secretion. However, most previous studies examined beta-cell function while patients were using glycemia-lowering agents without an adequate period off medications (washout). In the present review we focus on studies with a washout period. We performed a literature search (2010 to June 2021) using beta-cell function and enhancement. The evidence shows that beta-cell function can be enhanced. Bariatric surgery and very low calorie diets show improvement in beta-cell function in many individuals. In addition, use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists for prolonged periods (3 years or more) can also lead to improvement of beta-cell function. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms leading to improved beta-cell function and identify agents that could enhance beta-cell function in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous laboratory tests are used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus. The quality of the scientific evidence supporting the use of these assays varies substantially. APPROACH An expert committee compiled evidence-based recommendations for laboratory analysis in screening, diagnosis, or monitoring of diabetes. The overall quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendations were evaluated. The draft consensus recommendations were evaluated by invited reviewers and presented for public comment. Suggestions were incorporated as deemed appropriate by the authors (see Acknowledgments). The guidelines were reviewed by the Evidence Based Laboratory Medicine Committee and the Board of Directors of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry and by the Professional Practice Committee of the American Diabetes Association. CONTENT Diabetes can be diagnosed by demonstrating increased concentrations of glucose in venous plasma or increased hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in the blood. Glycemic control is monitored by the people with diabetes measuring their own blood glucose with meters and/or with continuous interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM) devices and also by laboratory analysis of HbA1c. The potential roles of noninvasive glucose monitoring, genetic testing, and measurement of ketones, autoantibodies, urine albumin, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide are addressed. SUMMARY The guidelines provide specific recommendations based on published data or derived from expert consensus. Several analytes are found to have minimal clinical value at the present time, and measurement of them is not recommended.

Abstract
Imeglimin (PXL008, EMD-387008, Twymeeg®) is a first-in-class novel oral hypoglycemic agent, launched in Japan, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its mechanism of action targets mitochondrial bioenergetics to ameliorate insulin resistance and to enhance β-cell function. This review summarizes the properties underlying the pharmacokinetic profile of imeglimin, a small cationic drug belonging to the tetrahydrotriazine chemical class, with a complex mechanism of absorption involving an active transport through organic cation transporters (OCTs). Imeglimin absorption decreases when dose increases due to the saturation of the active uptake transport. Post absorption, imeglimin is rapidly and primarily distributed to organs and tissues, and has a half-life ranging from 9.03 to 20.2 h. Plasma protein binding of imeglimin is low, which explains the rapid distribution to the organs observed in all species. Imeglimin is excreted unchanged in urine, indicating a low extent of metabolism. Imeglimin is a substrate of multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) 2-K and a substrate and inhibitor of OCT1, OCT2, and MATE1. Clinical drug-drug interaction studies confirmed the absence of relevant clinical interaction with substrates or inhibitors of these transporters. Overall, the drug-drug interaction potential of imeglimin is low. Its pharmacokinetics profile has also been characterized in special populations, showing no influence of mild and moderate hepatic impairment but an impact of renal function on imeglimin renal clearance. Dosage adjustment is thus required in moderately and severely renally impaired patients. Imeglimin pharmacokinetics was shown to be insensitive to ethnicity and food intake and to have no effect on QTcF interval.

Abstract
AIMS AND DATA SYNTHESIS Glucose variability (GV) is increasingly considered an additional index of glycemic control. Growing evidence indicates that GV is associated with diabetic vascular complications, thus being a relevant point to address in diabetes management. GV can be measured using various parameters, but to date, a gold standard has not been identified. This underscores the need for further studies in this field also to identify the optimal treatment. CONCLUSIONS We reviewed the definition of GV, the pathogenetic mechanisms of atherosclerosis, and its relationship with diabetic complications.

Abstract
Background: The glycemia risk index (GRI) is a new composite metric derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to assess the quality of glycemia. This study investigates the association between the GRI and albuminuria. Methods: Professional CGM and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) data from 866 individuals with type 2 diabetes were retrospectively reviewed. Albuminuria and macroalbuminuria were defined as one or more UACR measurements ≥30 and ≥300 mg/g, respectively. Results: The overall prevalence of albuminuria and macroalbuminuria was 36.6% and 13.9%, respectively. Participants with a higher UACR had a significantly higher hyperglycemia component and GRI score than those with a lower UACR (all P < 0.001), although the hypoglycemia component did not differ among the groups. Multiple logistic regression analyses that adjusted for various factors affecting albuminuria revealed that the odds ratio (OR) of albuminuria was 1.13 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.27, P = 0.039) per increase in the GRI zone. The results were similar for the risk of macroalbuminuria (OR: 1.42 [95% CI: 1.20-1.69], P < 0.001), and that association remained after adjusting for glycated hemoglobin (OR: 1.31 [95% CI: 1.10-1.58], P = 0.004). Conclusions: GRI is strongly associated with albuminuria, especially macroalbuminuria, in type 2 diabetes.

[PMID: 37775297 PMCID: PMC10546165 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2022-070473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Many people with type 2 diabetes experience clinical inertia, remaining in poor glycaemic control on oral glucose-lowering medications rather than intensifying treatment with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, despite an efficacious, orally administered option, oral semaglutide, being available. The present study evaluated the long-term cost-effectiveness of initiating oral semaglutide versus continuing metformin plus sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor therapy in the UK. DESIGN Outcomes were projected over patients' lifetimes using the IQVIA Core Diabetes Model (V.9.0). Clinical data were taken from the oral semaglutide and placebo arms of the patient subgroup receiving metformin plus an SGLT-2 inhibitor in PIONEER 4. Costs, expressed in 2021 Pounds sterling (GBP), were accounted from a healthcare payer perspective. INTERVENTIONS Modelled patients received oral semaglutide immediately (in the first year of the analysis) or after a 2-year delay, after which all physiological parameters were brought to values observed in the immediate therapy arm. During the simulation, patients intensified with the addition of basal insulin and, subsequently, by switching to basal-bolus insulin. RESULTS Immediate oral semaglutide therapy was associated with improvements in life expectancy of 0.17 (95% CIs 0.16 to 0.19) years, and quality-adjusted life expectancy of 0.15 (0.14 to 0.16) quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), versus a 2-year delay. Benefits were due to a reduced incidence of diabetes-related complications. Direct costs were estimated to be GBP 1423 (1349 to 1496) higher with immediate oral semaglutide therapy versus a 2-year delay, with higher treatment costs partially offset by cost savings from avoidance of diabetes-related complications. Immediate oral semaglutide therapy was therefore associated with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of GBP 9404 (8380 to 10 538) per QALY gained versus a 2-year delay. CONCLUSIONS Immediate oral semaglutide is likely to represent a cost-effective treatment in people with type 2 diabetes with inadequate glycaemic control on metformin plus an SGLT-2 inhibitor in the UK.

Abstract
Many adults with diabetes mellitus are unaware worldwide. The study objectives aimed to evaluate the risk of dialysis within 5 years of diagnosis between patients with newly diagnosed diabetes with and without diabetes-related complications. A retrospective longitudinal nationwide cohort study was conducted. Patients diagnosed with diabetes between 2005 and 2013 were followed up until 2018. They were categorized based on the presence or absence of complications, the number of complications, and the diabetes complications severity index (DCSI) scores. Dialysis outcomes were determined through the Registry of Catastrophic Illness from the National Health Insurance Research Database. Among the analyzed patients, 25.38% had complications at diagnosis. Patients with complications at diagnosis had a significantly higher risk of dialysis within 5 years (adjusted hazard ratio: 9.55, 95% confidence interval CI 9.02-10.11). Increasing DCSI scores and the number of complications were associated with higher dialysis risks. Patients with one complication had a 7.26-times higher risk (95% CI 6.83-7.71), while those with ≥ 3 complications had a 36.12-times higher risk (95% CI 32.28-40.41). In conclusion, newly diagnosed diabetes patients with complications face an increased risk of dialysis within 5 years. The severity and number of complications are directly linked to the risk of dialysis within this timeframe.

Abstract
This study aimed to describe risk factors of severe hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in a tertiary care hospital in Indonesia. This study was a retrospective cohort study in the Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic of Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. All subjects more than 18 years old who had been visiting the clinic for at least a year were included. Subjects were interviewed whether they had any severe hypoglycemia events within the past year, while data on risk factor variables of severe hypoglycemia was taken from medical records one year before data collection. We recruited 291 subjects, among whom 25.4% suffered at least one episode of severe hypoglycemia within one year. History of severe hypoglycemia (OR 5.864, p ≤ 0.001), eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2 (OR 1.976, p = 0.028), and insulin use (OR 2.257, p = 0.021) were associated with increased risk of severe hypoglycemia. In conclusion, history of previous severe hypoglycemia, eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2, and insulin use were associated with severe hypoglycemia.

The role of SGLT2i in attenuating residual cardiovascular risk through blood pressure-lowering: mechanistic insights and perspectives. FRONTIERS IN CLINICAL DIABETES AND HEALTHCARE 2023; 4:1243530. [PMID: 37822556 PMCID: PMC10562622 DOI: 10.3389/fcdhc.2023.1243530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2) have been increasingly pursued as a promising target for addressing residual cardiovascular risk. Prior trials demonstrated that SGLT2i not only promotes glucose-lowering, but also improves endothelial dysfunction, adiposity, fluid overload, and insulin sensitivity thus contributing to hemodynamic changes implicated in its cardiorenal benefits. The mechanisms in the effect of SGLT2i on blood pressure and their potential role in preventing cardiovascular events are hereby revised.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether recent reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality in type 2 diabetes apply equally to both sexes is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to characterize temporal changes in CVD events and related outcomes in community-based male and female Australian adults with type 2 diabetes or without known diabetes. METHODS Participants from the longitudinal observational Fremantle Diabetes Study Phases I (FDS1; n = 1291 recruited 1993-1996) and II (FDS2; n = 1509 recruited 2008-2011) and four age-, sex- and postcode-matched individuals without diabetes (FDS1 n = 5159; FDS2 n = 6036) were followed for first myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure hospitalization, lower extremity amputation, CVD death and all-cause mortality. Five-year incidence rates (IRs) for males versus females in FDS1 and FDS2 were calculated, and IR ratios (IRRs) derived. RESULTS The FD1 and FDS2 participants were of mean age 64.0 and 65.4 years, respectively, and 48.7% and 51.8% were males. For type 2 diabetes, IRRs for all endpoints were 11-62% lower in FDS2 than FDS1 for both sexes. For participants without diabetes, IRRs were 8-56% lower in FDS2 versus FDS1 apart from stroke in females (non-significantly 41% higher). IRRs for males versus females across FDS phases were not significantly different for participants with type 2 diabetes or those without diabetes (P-values for male * FDS2 interaction ≥ 0.0.083 adjusted for age). For risk factors in participants with type 2 diabetes, greater improvements between FDS1 and FDS2 in smoking rates in males were offset by a greater reduction in systolic blood pressure in females. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of chronic complications in Australians with type 2 diabetes and without diabetes has fallen similarly in both sexes over recent decades, consistent with comparably improved overall CVD risk factor management.

Differential Impact of Degree of Hypertension on Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis in Asymptomatic Subjects With and Without Diabetes Mellitus. Am J Cardiol 2023; 203:343-351. [PMID: 37517130 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.07.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
This study sought to evaluate the association between the degree of hypertension and subclinical coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic subjects with and without diabetes mellitus (DM). We retrospectively analyzed 7,352 asymptomatic subjects (mean age 52.8 ± 7.8 years; 4,689 [63.8%] men) with no history of coronary artery disease who voluntarily underwent coronary computed tomography angiography as part of a general health examination. The classification of hypertension was adapted from the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association 2017 guideline. Subclinical coronary atherosclerosis was defined as the presence of coronary plaque by coronary computed tomography angiography. In subjects without DM (n = 6,598), after the adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors, subclinical coronary atherosclerosis was significantly associated with both stage 1 hypertension (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.356; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.167 to 1.575; p <0.001) and stage 2 hypertension (aOR, 1.614; 95% CI, 1.329 to 1.961; p <0.001) groups compared with the normal group. In contrast, in subjects with DM (n = 754), there was no statistical difference in the aOR of the stage 1 hypertension group for the presence of coronary plaque (aOR, 1.449; 95% CI, 0.982 to 2.136; p = 0.061). However, the stage 2 hypertension group had a significant association with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis (aOR, 2.067; 95% CI, 1.287 to 3.322; p = 0.003). In subjects without DM, both stages 1 and 2 hypertension were associated with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis. However, in subjects with DM, stage 2 hypertension was only associated with an increased risk of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with thrombogenicity, clinically manifested with atherothrombotic events after percutaneous cutaneous intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate association between DM status and platelet reactivity, and their prognostic implication in PCI-treated patients. METHODS The Platelet function and genoType-Related long-term Prognosis-Platelet Function Test (PTRG-PFT) cohort was established to determine the linkage of platelet function test (PFT) with long-term prognosis during dual antiplatelet therapy including clopidogrel in patients treated with drug-eluting stent (DES). We assessed platelet reactivity using VerifyNow and 'high platelet reactivity (HPR)' was defined as ≥ 252 P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU). Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis or stroke. RESULTS Between July 2003 and Aug 2018, DES-treated patients with available PFT were enrolled (n = 11,714). Diabetic patients demonstrated significant higher levels of platelet reactivity (DM vs. non-DM: 225.7 ± 77.5 vs. 213.6 ± 79.1 PRU, P < 0.001) and greater prevalence of HPR compared to non-diabetic patients (38.1% vs. 32.0%, P < 0.001). PRU level and prevalence of HPR were significantly associated with insulin requirement and HbA1c level, as well as diabetic status. DM status and HPR phenotype had a similar prognostic implication, which showed the synergistic clinical impact on MACCE. Association between PRU level and MACCE occurrence seemed higher in diabetic vs. non-diabetic patients. In non-DM patients, HPR phenotype did not significantly increase the risk of MACCE (adjusted hazard ratio [HRadj]: 1.073; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.869-1.325; P = 0.511), whereas HPR was an independent determinant for MACCE occurrence among diabetic patients (HRadj: 1.507; 95% CI: 1.193-1.902; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The levels of on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity are determined by diabetic status and the severity of DM. In addition, HPR phenotype significantly increases the risk of MACCE only in diabetic patients. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov . Unique identifier: NCT04734028.

Abstract
There is an increasing global burden of diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), coupled with a high burden of people with HIV (PWH). Due to an increased lifespan on ART, PWH are now at risk of developing non-communicable diseases, including DM. Africa has the greatest burden of HIV infection and will experience the greatest increase in prevalence of DM over the next two decades. In addition, there is a rising number of people with CKD and progression to kidney failure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the early identification and management of all 3 diseases to prevent disease progression and complications. This is particularly important in Africa for people with CKD where there is restricted or no access to dialysis and/or transplantation. This review focuses on the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the interaction between HIV infection and DM and the impact that these diseases have on the development and progression of CKD. Finally, it also aims to review the data on the management, which stems from the growing burden of all three diseases.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive cardiometabolic disorder that affects more than 10% of adults worldwide and is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, disability, and high costs. Over the past decade, the pattern of management of diabetes has shifted from a predominantly glucose centric approach, focused on lowering levels of haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), to a directed complications centric approach, aimed at preventing short term and long term complications of diabetes, and a pathogenesis centric approach, which looks at the underlying metabolic dysfunction of excess adiposity that both causes and complicates the management of diabetes. In this review, we discuss the latest advances in patient centred care for type 2 diabetes, focusing on drug and non-drug approaches to reducing the risks of complications of diabetes in adults. We also discuss the effects of social determinants of health on the management of diabetes, particularly as they affect the treatment of hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes.

Inflammatory Markers Used as Predictors of Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Patients with Diabetic Polyneuropathy. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1861. [PMID: 37763265 PMCID: PMC10532684 DOI: 10.3390/life13091861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is identified late in diabetic patients because, in the majority of cases, it is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, resulting in little or no symptoms, or symptoms that are completely neglected. METHODS In this study were enrolled all patients over 18 years of age, with diabetes mellitus type II for more than a year with poor glycemic control, diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy admitted to the Diabetology Department, Emergency County Hospital of Targu Mures, Romania between January 2020 and March 2023. We divided the patients into two groups, based on the presence or absence of subclinical atherosclerosis in the lower limb, named "SA" and "non-SA". RESULTS Patients in the SA group were older (p = 0.01) and had a higher incidence of IHD (p = 0.03), history of MI (p = 0.02), and diabetic nephropathy (p = 0.01). Moreover, patients with subclinical atherosclerosis had a higher BMI (p < 0.0001) and a longer duration of diabetes (p < 0.0001). Among all patients, the systemic inflammatory markers, MLR (r = 0.331, p < 0.001), NLR (r = 0.517, p < 0.001), PLR (r = 0.296, p < 0.001), SII (r = 0.413, p < 0.001), as well as BMI (r = 0.241, p < 0.001) and HbA1C (r = 0.489, p < 0.001), demonstrated a strong positive correlation with the diabetes duration. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older patients (OR: 2.58, p < 0.001), the male gender (OR: 2.30, p = 0.006), a higher baseline levels of BMI (OR: 7.71, p < 0.001), and the duration of diabetes (OR: 8.65, p < 0.001) are predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis in DN patients. Additionally, the high baseline levels of all systemic inflammatory markers (for all: p < 0.001) and poor diabetes management (OR: 10.4, p < 0.001 for HbA1C; OR: 10.78, p < 0.001 for admission glucose) are independent predictors of SA. CONCLUSIONS the inflammatory markers, NLR, MLR, PLR, and SII, being cheap and easy to collect in routine medical practice from the standard blood tests, could be an important step in predicting vascular outcomes in diabetic patients and the disease's progression, playing a key role in follow-up visits in type-2 diabetic patients and PAD patients.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND We explored the risk of death from pneumonia according to cumulative duration in low household income state (LHIS) among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Using Korean National Health Insurance Service data (2002 to 2018), the hazards of mortality from pneumonia were analyzed according to duration in LHIS (being registered to Medical Aid) during the 5 years before baseline (0, 1-4, and 5 years) among adults with T2DM who underwent health examinations between 2009 and 2012 (n=2,503,581). Hazards of outcomes were also compared in six groups categorized by insulin use and duration in LHIS. RESULTS During a median 7.18 years, 12,245 deaths from pneumonia occurred. Individuals who had been exposed to LHIS had higher hazards of death from pneumonia in a dose-response manner (hazard ratio [HR], 1.726; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.568 to 1.899 and HR, 4.686; 95% CI, 3.948 to 5.562 in those exposed for 1-4 and 5 years, respectively) compared to the non-exposed reference. Insulin users exposed for 5 years to LHIS exhibited the highest outcome hazard among six groups categorized by insulin use and duration in LHIS. CONCLUSION Among adults with T2DM, cumulative duration in LHIS may predict increased risks of mortality from pneumonia in a graded dose-response manner. Insulin users with the longest duration in LHIS might be the group most vulnerable to death from pneumonia among adults with T2DM.

Risk factors for at-risk foot and peripheral artery disease among the population with diabetes: A multicommunity-based cross-sectional study. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2023; 203:110869. [PMID: 37562660 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2023.110869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023]
Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and influence factors of the at-risk foot with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS This study included 3030 DM patients from the at-risk foot screening program of Shanghai in China between March 21 and April 30 in 2021. Data were collected from the questionnaire survey, physical examination, and fasting blood sample. RESULTS The prevalence of at-risk foot was 27.8% among DM patients. After adjusted, the risk of higher at-risk grade increased with age and urinary albumin creatinine ratio (OR = 1.04, 95%CI = 1.02-1.06; OR = 1.001, 95%CI = 1.000-1.002, respectively), whereas decreased with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (OR = 0.991, 95%CI = 0.984-0.998). The incidence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) was 11.1% in all people with DM, and age, pulse rate, and low-density lipoprotein were independent risk factors for PAD. In contrast, high-density lipoprotein, eGFR, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio were independent protective factors for PAD. Glycated hemoglobin HbA1c was not an independent risk factor for increased risk grade or more severe PAD. CONCLUSIONS The at-risk foot accounted for a high percentage among DM patients. Advanced age and renal dysfunction are independent risk factors for the at-risk foot. Glycemic control does not reduce the risk grade of at-risk foot and the incidence of PAD.
