Mittal R, Koutras N, Maya J, Lemos JRN, Hirani K. Blood glucose monitoring devices for type 1 diabetes: a journey from the food and drug administration approval to market availability. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1352302. [PMID: 38559693 PMCID: PMC10978642 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1352302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Blood glucose monitoring constitutes a pivotal element in the clinical management of Type 1 diabetes (T1D), a globally escalating metabolic disorder. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices have demonstrated efficacy in optimizing glycemic control, mitigating adverse health outcomes, and augmenting the overall quality of life for individuals afflicted with T1D. Recent progress in the field encompasses the refinement of electrochemical sensors, which enhances the effectiveness of blood glucose monitoring. This progress empowers patients to assume greater control over their health, alleviating the burdens associated with their condition, and contributing to the overall alleviation of the healthcare system. The introduction of novel medical devices, whether derived from existing prototypes or originating as innovative creations, necessitates adherence to a rigorous approval process regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Diverse device classifications, stratified by their associated risks, dictate distinct approval pathways, each characterized by varying timelines. This review underscores recent advancements in blood glucose monitoring devices primarily based on electrochemical sensors and elucidates their regulatory journey towards FDA approval. The advent of innovative, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring devices holds promise for maintaining stringent glycemic control, thereby preventing T1D-associated comorbidities, and extending the life expectancy of affected individuals.

Adherence to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in diabetes mellitus patients in Saudi Arabia: A multicenter retrospective study. World J Diabetes 2024; 15:440-454. [PMID: 38591075 PMCID: PMC10999047 DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v15.i3.440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are predisposed to an increased risk of infection signifying the importance of vaccination to protect against its potentially severe complications. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (CDC/ACIP) issued immunization re-commendations to protect this patient population. AIM To assess the adherence of patients with DM to the CDC/ACIP immunization recommendations in Saudi Arabia and to identify the factors associated with the vaccine adherence rate. METHODS An observational retrospective study conducted in 2023 was used to collect data on the vaccination records from 13 diabetes care centers in Saudi Arabia with 1000 eligible patients in phase I with data collected through chart review and 709 patients in phase II through online survey. RESULTS Among participants, 10.01% (n = 71) had never received any vaccine, while 85.89% (n = 609) received at least one dose of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine, and 34.83% (n = 247) had received the annual influenza vaccine. Only 2.96% (n = 21), 2.11% (n = 15), and 1.12% (n = 8) received herpes zoster, tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap), and human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, respectively. For patients with DM in Saudi Arabia, the rate of vaccination for annual influenza and COVID-19 vaccines was higher compared to other vaccinations such as herpes zoster, Tdap, pneumococcal, and HPV. Factors such as vaccine recommendations provided by family physicians or specialists, site of care, income level, DM-related hospitalization history, residency site, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, and health sector type can significantly influence the vaccination rate in patients with DM. Among non-vaccinated patients with DM, the most reported barriers were lack of knowledge and fear of side effects. This signifies the need for large-scale research in this area to identify additional factors that might facilitate adherence to CDC/ACIP vaccine recommendations in patients with DM. CONCLUSION In Saudi Arabia, patients with DM showed higher vaccination rates for annual influenza and COVID-19 vaccines compared to other vaccinations such as herpes zoster, Tdap, pneumococcal, and HPV. Factors such as vaccine recommendations provided by family physicians or specialists, the site of care, income level, DM-related hospitalization history, residency site, HbA1c level, and health sector type can significantly influence the vaccination rate in patients with DM.

Prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and their risk factors in an informal settlement in Freetown, Sierra Leone: a cross-sectional study. BMC Public Health 2024; 24:783. [PMID: 38481202 PMCID: PMC10935859 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-18158-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), especially hypertension and diabetes mellitus are on the increase in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Informal settlement dwellers exhibit a high prevalence of behavioural risk factors and are highly vulnerable to hypertension and diabetes. However, no study has assessed the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and NCDrisk factors among informal settlement dwellers in Sierra Leone. We conducted a study in June 2019 to determine the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and NCD risk factors among adults living in the largest Sierra Leonean informal settlement (KrooBay). METHODS AND MATERIALS We conducted a community-based cross-sectional survey among adults aged ≥ 35 years in the KrooBay community. Trained healthcare workers collected data on socio-demographic characteristics and self-reported health behaviours using the World Health Organization STEPwise surveillance questionnaire for chronic disease risk factors. Anthropometric, blood glucose, and blood pressure measurements were performed following standard procedures. Logistics regression was used for analysis and adjusted odd ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to identify risk factors associated with hypertension. RESULTS Of the 418 participants, 242 (57%) were females and those below the age of 45 years accounted for over half (55.3%) of the participants. The prevalence of smoking was 18.2%, alcohol consumption was 18.8%, overweight was 28.2%, obesity was 17.9%, physical inactivity was 81.5%, and inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables was 99%. The overall prevalence of hypertension was 45.7% (95% CI 41.0-50.5%), systolic hypertension was 34.2% (95% CI 29.6-38.8%), diastolic blood pressure was 39.9% (95% CI 35.2-44.6), and participants with diabetes were 2.2% (95% CI 0.7-3.6%). Being aged ≥ 55 years (AOR = 7.35, 95% CI 1.49-36.39) and > 60 years (AOR 8.05; 95% CI 2.22-29.12), separated (AOR = 1.34; 95% 1.02-7.00), cohabitating (AOR = 6.68; 95% CL1.03-14.35), vocational (AOR = 3.65; 95% CI 1.81-7.39 ) and having a university education (AOR = 4.62; 95% CI 3.09-6.91) were found to be independently associated with hypertension. CONCLUSION The prevalence of hypertension,and NCD risk factors was high among the residents of the Kroobay informal settlement. We also noted a low prevalence of diabetes. There is an urgent need for the implementation of health education, promotion, and screening initiatives to reduce health risks so that these conditions will not overwhelm health services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbid depression substantially affects the management of glycemia and diabetes-related complications among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this study, we sought to determine the association between weight change over 4 years and depression risk among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS This population-based retrospective cohort study from the National Health Insurance Services of Korea included 1 111 345 patients with type 2 diabetes who were divided into groups according to body weight change over 4 years. Body weight changes were compared with the preceding 4-year period (2005-2008). Depression was defined according to the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision code for depression (F32 and F33) on one or more inpatient or outpatient claims. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.4 years, 244 081 cases of depression were identified. We observed a U-shaped association between body weight change and depression risk with a higher risk among both groups of weight loss (hazard ratio (HR) 1.17, 95% CI 1.15-1.19 for ⩾ -10%; HR 1.07, 95% CI 1.06-1.08 for -10 to -5%) and weight gain (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.04-1.08 for ⩾10%; HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.04 for 5-10%) compared with the stable weight group (-5 to 5%). CONCLUSIONS A U-shaped association between body weight change and depression risk was observed in this large nationwide cohort study. Our study suggests that patients with type 2 diabetes and weight change, either gain or loss, could be considered a high-risk group for depression.

Abstract
With increasing attention to diabetes remission, various special dietary patterns have been found to be effective in achieving diabetes remission. The effect of a single dietary pattern on lowering blood glucose is clear, but studies on the synergistic effects of different dietary patterns are limited. This article describes the types of intermittent fasting and ketogenic diets, potential mechanisms, contraindications of combination diets, recommendations for combination diets, and their health outcomes. This paper aims to illustrate the evidence for intermittent fasting combined with a ketogenic diet on outcomes of diabetes remission and effect on blood glucose control. Knowledge of these findings can help doctors and patients determine dietary patterns for achieving diabetes remission and understanding their application.

Abstract
Objective The incidence of early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased significantly, with insulin resistance (IR) and obesity being the main drivers of its onset. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics of early-onset T2D and its association with triglyceride glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI), an emerging surrogate of IR. Methods A total of 1000 adults newly diagnosed with T2D were enrolled and divided into early-onset T2D (18~40 years, N=500) and late-onset T2D groups (≥40 years, N=500). Independent t and chi-squared tests were used to compare the characteristics of the two groups, and logistic regression analysis, trend tests, restricted cubic spline curves (RCSs), and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify the relationship between TyG-BMI and early-onset T2D. Results Patients with early-onset T2D were more likely to have a higher body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), serum uric acid (SUA), triglyceride glucose index (TyG), and TyG-BMI (P < 0.05). A higher TyG-BMI was associated with an increased risk of early-onset T2D (P < 0.001). The RCSs showed a nonlinear relationship between TyG-BMI and early-onset T2D, and the slope of the curve increased with an increase in TyG-BMI (P for nonlinearity < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, additive interactions between TyG-BMI and the risk of early-onset T2D were observed for sex, family history of diabetes, BMI, fatty liver, and hypertension (P < 0.001). ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of TyG-BMI was 0.6781, which was larger than its main components (TyG, BMI, FPG, TG). The best cutoff value was 254.865, the sensitivity was 74.6%, and the specificity was 53.6%. Conclusion Patients with early-onset T2D are characterized by severe IR, metabolic disorders, and being overweight/obese and an increase in TyG-BMI is independently associated with an increased risk of early-onset T2D.

Abstract
AIMS Hospital readmissions due to recurrent fluid overload in diabetes and diabetic kidney disease can be avoided with evidence-based interventions. We aimed to identify at-risk patients who can benefit from these interventions by developing risk prediction models for readmissions for fluid overload in people living with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of 1,531 adults with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease hospitalized for fluid overload, congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, and generalized edema between 2015 and 2017. The multivariable regression models for 30-day and 90-day readmission for fluid overload were compared with the LACE score for discrimination, calibration, sensitivity, specificity, and net reclassification index (NRI). RESULTS Readmissions for fluid overload within 30 days and 90 days occurred in 8.6% and 17.2% of patients with diabetes, and 8.2% and 18.3% of patients with diabetic kidney disease, respectively. After adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, clinical parameters, and medications, a history of alcoholism (HR 3.85, 95% CI: 1.41-10.55) and prior hospitalization for fluid overload (HR 2.50, 95% CI: 1.26-4.96) were independently associated with 30-day readmission in patients with diabetic kidney disease, as well as in individuals with diabetes. Additionally, current smoking, absence of hypertension, and high-dose intravenous furosemide were also associated with 30-day readmission in individuals with diabetes. Prior hospitalization for fluid overload (HR 2.43, 95% CI: 1.50-3.94), cardiovascular disease (HR 1.44, 95% CI: 1.03-2.02), eGFR ≤45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (HR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.003-1.93) was independently associated with 90-day readmissions in individuals with diabetic kidney disease. Additionally, thiazide prescription at discharge reduced 90-day readmission in diabetic kidney disease, while the need for high-dose intravenous furosemide predicted 90-day readmission in diabetes. The clinical and clinico-psychological models for 90-day readmission in individuals with diabetes and diabetic kidney disease had better discrimination and calibration than the LACE score. The NRI for the clinico-psychosocial models to predict 30- and 90-day readmissions in diabetes was 22.4% and 28.9%, respectively. The NRI for the clinico-psychosocial models to predict 30- and 90-day readmissions in diabetic kidney disease was 5.6% and 38.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION The risk models can potentially be used to identify patients at risk of readmission for fluid overload for evidence-based interventions, such as patient education or transitional care programs to reduce preventable hospitalizations.

Abstract
Introduction Telemonitoring improves clinical outcomes in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), however, cost structure analyses are lacking. This study seeks to explore the cost structure of telemonitoring for the elderly with AH and T2D in primary care and identify factors influencing costs for potential future expansions. Methods Infrastructure, operational, patient participation, and out-of-pocket costs were determined using a bottom-up approach. Infrastructure costs were determined by dividing equipment and telemonitoring platform expenses by the number of participants. Operational and patient participation costs were determined by considering patient training time, data measurement/review time, and teleconsultation time. The change in out-of-pocket costs was assessed in both groups using a structured questionnaire and 12-month expenditure data. Statistical analysis employed an unpaired sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square test. Results A total of 117 patients aged 71.4±4.7 years were included in the study. The telemonitoring intervention incurred an annual infrastructure costs of €489.4 and operational costs of €97.3 (95% CI 85.7-109.0) per patient. Patient annual participation costs were €215.6 (95% CI 190.9-241.1). Average annual out-of-pocket costs for both groups were €345 (95% CI 221-469). After 12 months the telemonitoring group reported significantly lower out-of-pocket costs (€132 vs. €545, p<0.001), driven by reduced spending on food, dietary supplements, medical equipment, and specialist check-ups compared to the standard care group. Conclusion To optimise the cost structure of telemonitoring, strategies like shortening the telemonitoring period, developing a national telemonitoring platform, using patient devices, integrating artificial intelligence into platforms, and involving nurse practitioners as telemedicine centre coordinators should be explored.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE AND AIMS Diabetic microvascular complications significantly impact morbidity and mortality. This review focuses on machine learning/artificial intelligence (ML/AI) in predicting diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and diabetic neuropathy (DN). METHODS A comprehensive PubMed search from 1990 to 2023 identified studies on ML/AI models for diabetic microvascular complications. The review analyzed study design, cohorts, predictors, ML techniques, prediction horizon, and performance metrics. RESULTS Among the 74 identified studies, 256 featured internally validated ML models and 124 had externally validated models, with about half being retrospective. Since 2010, there has been a rise in the use of ML for predicting microvascular complications, mainly driven by DKD research across 27 countries. A more modest increase in ML research on DR and DN was observed, with publications from fewer countries. For all microvascular complications, predictive models achieved a mean (standard deviation) c-statistic of 0.79 (0.09) on internal validation and 0.72 (0.12) on external validation. Diabetic kidney disease models had the highest discrimination, with c-statistics of 0.81 (0.09) on internal validation and 0.74 (0.13) on external validation, respectively. Few studies externally validated prediction of DN. The prediction horizon, outcome definitions, number and type of predictors, and ML technique significantly influenced model performance. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE There is growing global interest in using ML for predicting diabetic microvascular complications. Research on DKD is the most advanced in terms of publication volume and overall prediction performance. Both DR and DN require more research. External validation and adherence to recommended guidelines are crucial.

Peñalvo JL. The impact of taxing sugar-sweetened beverages on diabetes: a critical review. Diabetologia 2024; 67:420-429.

Abstract
The global burden of type 2 diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate, fuelled by the obesity epidemic, with significant associated health and economic consequences and apparent inequalities. Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are a major source of added sugars in diets worldwide and have been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes through a variety of mechanisms, including excess weight. Taxing SSBs has become a promising public health strategy to reduce consumption and mitigate the burden of type 2 diabetes. A substantial body of evidence suggests that SSB taxes lead to increased prices and subsequent reduced consumption, with a potentially greater effect among lower socioeconomic groups. This highlights the potential for tax policies to have an impact on type 2 diabetes and address health inequalities. Evidence from several ongoing SSB tax schemes, including sales and excise taxes, indicates positive effects on improving consumption patterns, and modelling studies point to health gains by averting type 2 diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases. In contrast, evidence from empirical evaluation of the impact of SSB tax is scarce. Continued monitoring and the strengthening of evaluation research to develop context-tailored policies are required. In addition, there is a need to implement complementary efforts to amplify the impact of SSB taxation and effectively address the global burden of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Adipose organ, historically known as specialized lipid-handling tissue serving as the long-term fat depot, is now appreciated as the largest endocrine organ composed of two main compartments, i.e., subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (AT), madding up white and beige/brown adipocytes. Adipose organ dysfunction manifested as maldistribution of the compartments, hypertrophic, hypoxic, inflamed, and insulin-resistant AT, contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we highlight the role of nitric oxide (NO·) in AT (dys)function in relation to developing T2D. The key aspects determining lipid and glucose homeostasis in AT depend on the physiological levels of the NO· produced via endothelial NO· synthases (eNOS). In addition to decreased NO· bioavailability (via decreased expression/activity of eNOS or scavenging NO·), excessive NO· produced by inducible NOS (iNOS) in response to hypoxia and AT inflammation may be a critical interfering factor diverting NO· signaling to the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, resulting in AT and whole-body metabolic dysfunction. Pharmacological approaches boosting AT-NO· availability at physiological levels (by increasing NO· production and its stability), as well as suppression of iNOS-NO· synthesis, are potential candidates for developing NO·-based therapeutics in T2D.

Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) comprises approximately one-half of all diagnoses of heart failure. There is significant overlap of this clinical syndrome with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with many shared comorbid conditions. The presence of CKD in patients with HFpEF is one of the most powerful risk factors for adverse clinical outcomes, including death and heart failure hospitalization. The pathophysiology linking HFpEF and CKD remains unclear, but it is postulated to consist of numerous bidirectional pathways, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, obesity, insulin resistance, and impaired sodium handling. The diagnosis of HFpEF requires certain criteria to be satisfied, including signs and symptoms consistent with volume overload caused by structural or functional cardiac abnormalities and evidence of increased cardiac filling pressures. There are numerous overlapping metabolic clinical syndromes in patients with HFpEF and CKD that can serve as targets for intervention. With an increasing number of therapies available for HFpEF and CKD as well as for obesity and diabetes, improved recognition and diagnosis are paramount for appropriate management and improved clinical outcomes in patients with both HFpEF and CKD.

Abstract
Integrated personalized diabetes management (IPDM) has emerged as a promising approach to improving outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). This care approach emphasizes the integration and coordination of different providers, including physicians, nurses, dietitians, social workers and pharmacists. The goal of IPDM is to provide patients with personalized care that is tailored to their needs. This review addresses the concept of integrated care and the use of technology (including data, software applications and artificial intelligence) as well as managerial, regulatory and financial aspects. The implementation and upscaling of digitally enabled IPDM are discussed, with elaboration of successful practices and related evidence. Finally, recommendations are made. It is concluded that the adoption of digitally enabled IPDM on a global level is inevitable, considering the challenges created by an increasing prevalence of patients with DM and the need for better outcomes and improvement of health system sustainability.

Abstract
Caffeine is a substance with central and metabolic effects. Although it is recommended that its use be limited during pregnancy, many women continue to consume caffeine. Direct and indirect actions of caffeine in fetuses and newborns promote adaptive changes, according to the Developmental Origins of Health and Diseases (DOHaD) concept. In fact, epidemiological and experimental evidence reveals the impact of early caffeine exposure. Here, we reviewed these findings with an emphasis on experimental models with rodents. The similarity of human and rodent caffeine metabolism allows the comprehension of molecular mechanisms affected by prenatal caffeine exposure. Maternal caffeine intake affects the body weight and endocrine system of offspring at birth and has long-term effects on the endocrine system, liver function, glucose and lipid metabolism, the cardiac system, the reproductive system, and behavior. Interestingly, some of these effects are sex dependent. Thus, the dose of caffeine considered safe for pregnant women may not be adequate for the prenatal period.

Abstract
Renal Denervation (RDN) is an interventional, endovascular procedure used for the management of hypertension. The procedure itself aims to ablate the renal sympathetic nerves and to interrupt the renal sympathetic nervous system overactivation, thus decreasing blood pressure (BP) levels and total sympathetic drive in the body. Recent favorable evidence for RDN resulted in the procedure being included in the recent European Guidelines for the management of Hypertension, while RDN is considered the third pillar, along with pharmacotherapy, for managing hypertension. Sympathetic overactivation, however, is associated with numerous other pathologies, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome and glycemic control, which are linked to adverse cardiovascular health and outcomes. Therefore, RDN, via ameliorating sympathetic response, could be also proven beneficial for maintaining an euglycemic status in patients with cardiovascular disease, alongside its BP-lowering effects. Several studies have aimed, over the years, to provide evidence regarding the pathophysiological effects of RDN in glucose homeostasis as well as investigate the potential clinical benefits of the procedure in glucose and insulin homeostasis. The purpose of this review is, thus, to analyze the pathophysiological links between the autonomous nervous system and glycemic control, as well as provide an overview of the available preclinical and clinical data regarding the effect of RDN in glycemic control.

Abstract
Background and Aims Diabetes is recognized as a significant factor in both mortality and morbidity worldwide, affecting various demographics regardless of geographic location, age group, or gender. This correspondence aims to express concern and draw the attention of leaders and policymakers worldwide to this critical public health issue. Methods A thorough literature search was conducted utilizing various databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) website, to collect the required data. Keywords were strategically applied to enhance search results, with preference given to English-language articles containing pertinent information. Results According to the 2021 report by the IDF, approximately 537 million individuals globally were affected with diabetes, constituting roughly 10.5% of the world's populace. This condition incurred healthcare expenditures totaling $966 billion. Projections indicate a surge in diabetes cases to 783 million by 2045, with associated healthcare costs estimated to surpass $1054 billion. However, almost half of all people with diabetes are unaware of their medical condition, with the highest prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes Mellitus (DM) found in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) of the regions of Africa, the Western Pacific, and Southeast Asia. Conclusion Collaborating with the World Health Organization (WHO), LMIC governments should improve healthcare accessibility, including more frequent diabetes screenings for individuals aged ≥ 45 years and younger individuals at elevated risk of having a family history.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION An overrepresentation of epilepsy has been suggested in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate if type 1 diabetes is associated with a higher incidence of epilepsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Longitudinal observational studies which are relevant to the purpose of the meta-analysis were screened and obtained by searching PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Random-effects models were used when significant heterogeneity was observed; otherwise, fixed-effects models were used. RESULTS Six observational studies involving 10 datasets of 8,001,899 participants were included, with six datasets including children and only one dataset including older people. Among them, 100,414 (1.25%) had type 1 diabetes. During the follow-up duration of 5.4-15.2 years (mean: 9.5 years), 98,644 cases (1.23%) of epilepsy were observed. Compared with participants with normoglycemia, those with type 1 diabetes were shown to have a higher incidence of epilepsy (risk ratio [RR]: 2.41, 95% confidence interval 1.69-3.44, P < 0.001; I2 = 95%) after adjustment of potential confounding variables including age and sex. Subgroup analysis showed consistent results in nested case-control and retrospective cohort studies, and in studies of children, non-elderly adult, and older participants (P for subgroup difference = 0.42 and 0.07). In addition, a stronger association of type 1 diabetes and epilepsy was suggested in studies with follow-up duration <10 years compared with those ≥10 years (RR: 3.34 vs 1.61, P for subgroup difference < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with type 1 diabetes may have a higher risk of epilepsy, which was mainly driven by datasets including children.

Abstract
Background Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly experience poor sleep quality. This study aimed to investigate whether alexithymia mediates the association between fear of hypoglycaemia (FoH) and sleep quality in patients with T2DM. Methods From September 2021 to November 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted on 407 patients with T2DM in China. Data collection was made possible through the administration of the Chinese Version of the Worry Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale and Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (CPSQI). Multiple linear regression analyses were also performed. Results A total of 65.6% of the participants were male, and 75.7% were aged 18-40 years. FoH showed a moderate and positive correlation with CPSQI scores (r = 0.308, p < 0.001). Alexithymia was weakly and positively correlated with CPSQI scores (r = 0.185, p < 0.001). Meanwhile, FoH exhibited a moderate and positive correlation with alexithymia (r = 0.422, p < 0.001), and difficulty in identifying (r = 0.414, p < 0.001) and describing feelings (r = 0.416, p < 0.001) and a weak and positive correlation with externally oriented thinking (r = 0.221, p < 0.001). The total effect (β = 0.408, p < 0.001) of FoH on CPSQI comprised not only the direct (β = 0.293, 95% confidence interval: 0.174-0.411, p < 0.001) but also the indirect effect (β = 0.115, p < 0.001) of alexithymia. Conclusions Alexithymia can mediate the association between FoH and sleep quality. Clinicians should recognize the potential effect of alexithymia and incorporate it in intervention planning and care. Addressing the affective disturbances arising from FoH can enhance emotional expression and sleep quality among T2DM patients.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, however, its underlying biological mechanisms remain poorly understood. We examined single nucleotide polymorphisms linked to 486 blood metabolites through extensive genome-wide association studies conducted on individuals of European ancestry. The FinnGen Biobank database served as a reference to define DR. Two-sample MR analysis was conducted to reveal the association between the levels of genetically predicted circulating metabolites and the susceptibility to DR. To validate the robustness of the obtained findings, sensitivity analyses with weighted median, weighted mode, and MR-Egger were conducted. 1-oleoylglycerophosphoethanolamine (odds ratio [OR] (OR per one standard deviation [SD] increase) = 0.414; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.292-0.587; P = 7.613E-07, PFDR = 6.849E-06), pyroglutamine (OR per one SD increase = 0.414; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.292-0.587; P = 8.31E-04, PFDR = 0.007), phenyllactate (PLA) (OR per one SD increase = 0.591; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.418-0.836; P = 0.003, PFDR = 0.026), metoprolol acid metabolite (OR per one SD increase = 0.978; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.962-0.993; P = 0.005, PFDR = 0.042), 10-undecenoate (OR per one SD increase = 0.788; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.667-0.932; P = 0.005, PFDR = 0.049), erythritol (OR per one SD increase = 0.691; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.513-0.932; P = 0.015, PFDR = 0.034), 1-stearoylglycerophosphoethanolamine (OR per one SD increase = 0.636; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.431-0.937; P = 0.022, PFDR = 0.099), 1-arachidonoylglycerophosphoethanolamine (OR per one SD increase = 0.636; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.431-0.937; P = 0.030, PFDR = 0.099) showed a significant causal relationship with DR and could have protective effects. stachydrine (OR per one SD increase = 1.146; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.066-1.233; P = 2.270E-04, PFDR = 0.002), butyrylcarnitine (OR per one SD increase = 1.117; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.023-1.219; P = 0.014, PFDR = 0.062), 5-oxoproline (OR per one SD increase = 1.569; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.056-2.335; P = 0.026, PFDR = 0.082), and kynurenine (OR = 1.623; 95% CI 1.042-2.526; P = 0.041, PFDR = 0.097) were significantly associated with an increased risk of DR. This study identified metabolites have the potential to be considered prospective compounds for investigating the underlying mechanisms of DR and for selecting appropriate drug targets.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes; yet its pathophysiology is still incompletely understood and until today, there is no specific treatment against it. In the two 2023 large congresses on diabetes (American Diabetes Association, ADA, European Association for the Study of Diabetes, EASD), several high-level studies have been presented. They have attempted to delineate the pathophysiology of DN, the characteristics of affected patients, and future potential treatments. We herein review the presented studies on diabetic neuropathy at these diabetes congresses and discuss the needs for future research on this topic.

Abstract
Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are rapidly increasing in Italy due to aging, preventable risk factors, and worsening socioeconomic context. T2DM and its sequelae take a heavy toll on healthcare systems and the economy, given costly management, difficulties in coping with everyday life, and decreasing patient/worker productivity. Considering long life expectancy in Italy and a decreasing mortality rate due to T2DM, this study aims to calculate the years lived with disability (YLDs) of T2DM and its sequelae grouped into three categories: Neuropathy, Chronic Kidney Disease and No Complications, taking into consideration sex, year, and geographical location. This is the first attempt to measure YLDs from data that do not rely on self-reported diabetes diagnoses. Data come from the Italian Diabetologists Association dataset, the most comprehensive longitudinal source of national outpatient data. YLDs are obtained by multiplying the number of individuals living with a specific health condition and a disability weight which represents the magnitude of health loss associated with that particular condition. Findings show increasing YLD age-standardized rates for T2DM and its sequelae, especially Neuropathy, with the trend being stronger in the central macro-region and among men, and that 2009 marks a structural change in YLD growth rate. Systematic data collection for measuring the burden of diseases is key, among other things, to policy-making and implementation.

Global prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors based on the Life's Essential 8 score: an overview of systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Res 2024; 120:13-33.

Abstract
Cardiovascular health (CVH) is a critical issue for global health. However, no previous study has determined the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors based on the American Heart Association's (AHA) Life's Essential 8 (LE8). Therefore, we aimed to estimate the global prevalence of the eight cardiovascular risk factors identified in the LE8. A systematic search of systematic reviews with meta-analysis on cardiovascular risk factors covering data reported between 2000 and 2019 was conducted on PubMed, Epistemonikos, and the Cochrane Library until 1 May 2023. After applying exclusion criteria, 79 studies remained in the final selection for the narrative synthesis in the systematic review, of which 33 of them were used in the meta-analysis which included 2 555 639 participants from 104 countries. The overall pooled prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was as follows: insufficient physical activity, 26.3% (95% CI 2.3%-63.4%), no adherence to a healthy diet, 34.1% (95% CI 5.8%-71.2%), nicotine exposure, 15.4% (95% CI 10.4%-21.2%), insufficient sleep quality, 38.5% (95% CI 14.0%-66.7%), obesity, 17.3% (95% CI 6.1%-32.6%), dyslipidemia, 34.1% (95% CI 33.8%-34.4%), diabetes, 12.0% (95% CI 7.0%-18.2%), and hypertension, 29.4% (95% CI 23.3%-35.8%). These results warrant prevention strategies aimed at reducing insufficient sleep quality, and no adherence to a healthy diet as leading cardiovascular risk factors worldwide. The high prevalence of hypertension among children and adults is concerning and should also be adequately addressed through global policies.

Increased susceptibility to new-onset atrial fibrillation in diabetic women with poor sleep behaviour traits: findings from the prospective cohort study in the UK Biobank. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:51. [PMID: 38414084 PMCID: PMC10898144 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01292-1] [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: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic individuals often encounter various sleep-related challenges. Although the association between sleep duration and atrial fibrillation (AF) have been explored, the association of other sleep traits with the incidence of AF remains unclear. A comprehensive understanding of these traits is essential for a more accurate assessment of sleep conditions in patients with diabetes and the development of novel AF prevention strategies. METHODS This study involved 23,785 patients with diabetes without any pre-existing cardiovascular disease, drawn from the UK Biobank. Sleep behaviour traits examined encompassed sleep duration, chronotype, insomnia, snoring and daytime sleepiness. Sleep duration was categorised into three groups: low (≤ 5 h), proper (6-8 h) and long (≥ 9 h). We assessed associations using multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models. Furthermore, four poor sleep behaviours were constructed to evaluate their impact on the risk of new-onset AF. RESULTS Over a mean follow-up period of 166 months, 2221 (9.3%) new cases of AF were identified. Short (hazard ratio (HR), 1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10-1.50) and long sleep durations (HR 1.16; 95% CI 1.03-1.32) consistently exhibited an elevated risk of AF compared to optimal sleep duration. Early chronotype, infrequent insomnia and daytime sleepiness were associated with 11% (HR 0.89; 95% CI 0.82-0.97), 15% (HR 0.85; 95% CI 0.77-0.95) and 12% (HR 0.88; 95% CI 0.81-0.96) reduced risk of new-onset AF, respectively. However, no significant association was found between snoring and the incidence of AF (HR 0.99; 95% CI 0.91-1.07). CONCLUSIONS In diabetic populations, sleep duration, chronotype, insomnia and daytime sleepiness are strongly associated with AF incidence. An optimal sleep duration of 6-8 h presents the lowest AF risk compared to short or long sleep duration. Additionally, poor sleep patterns present a greater risk of new-onset AF in women than in men.

Abstract
Purpose This research aims to examine and scrutinize gender variations in the incidence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the trajectory of renal function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Patients and Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study that enrolled 1549 patients diagnosed with T2DM from May 2015 to July 2023. We separately compared the clinical characteristics of male and female participants with and without DN. We utilized the Kaplan-Meier method to examine the cumulative incidence of DN among T2DM patients of varying genders. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to evaluate the correlation between various factors and the risk of DN incidence. Multiple linear regression was utilized to investigate the relationship between ΔeGFR% and each factor. Logistic regression with cubic spline function and smooth curve fitting was employed to analyze the nonlinear link between ΔeGFR% and the risk of DN among participants of different genders. Results The prevalence of DN was higher in female participants (17.31%) than in male participants (12.62%), with a significant cumulative risk ratio (1.33 [1.02-1.73], P = 0.034). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that creatinine, female gender, blood urea nitrogen, alkaline phosphatase, and total cholesterol had a significant impact on ΔeGFR% in T2DM patients, with standardized β coefficients of -0.325, -0.219, -0.164, -0.084, and 0.071, respectively. The restricted cubic spline analysis demonstrated a strong negative association between ΔeGFR% and the risk of developing DN (P < 0.001). Conclusion Both male and female patients with T2DM had a higher prevalence of DN over the 5-year follow-up period. However, women had a greater risk of developing DN and a faster decline in renal function compared to men.

Abstract
Leopoldia comosa (LC), popularly known as Muscari comosum, spontaneously grows in the Mediterranean region and its bulbs are used as a vegetable. Traditionally, they are also used to treat various diseases and conditions, which has inspired the study of the pharmacological activities of different parts of LC. These studies revealed the numerous biological properties of LC including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, anti-cancer, anti-Alzheimer's disease, antibacterial, and immune stimulant. High antioxidant activity compared to other non-cultivated plants, and the potential role of antioxidant activity in other reported activities make LC an excellent candidate to be developed as an antioxidant plant against important associated diseases. The presence of a diverse class of phytochemicals (n = 85), especially flavonoids and homoisoflavones, in LC, also imparts significance to the nutraceutical candidature of the plant. However, limited animal studies and the lack of a directional approach have limited the further design of effective clinical studies for the development of LC. The current study is the first attempt to comprehensively compile information regarding the phytochemicals and pharmacological activities of LC, emphasize the targets/markers targeted by LC, important in other activities, and also highlight the current gaps and propose possible bridges for the development of LC as a therapeutic and/or supplement against important diseases.

Abstract
(1) Background: Preexisting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been shown in some studies as a risk factor and a severity factor for acute pancreatitis (AP). In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the link between T2DM and AP using data from a large retrospective epidemiological registry in a tertiary center. (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective, large-cohort study of 1855 cases of AP and recurrent AP drawn from the seven-year consecutive hospitalization electronic health records of the largest acute-care tertiary teaching center in Romania. (3) Results: We observed a significant association between T2DM and a more severe course of the disease, and between T2DM and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to AP, in our cohort using a chi-square test. However, we did not see a meaningful difference in comparing LoS-ICU between T2DM-AP and OAP (other known cause of AP). AP patients with T2DM had a greater probability of a severe course of the disease and were more likely to be admitted to the ICU than to the OAP. (4) Conclusions: The association between T2DM and AP remains a topic very representative of the "chicken-egg paradox". We need further research on DM-related AP and their bidirectional association as our study is limited by its retrospective design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoglycemia, a prevalent acute complication among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), manifests with varied symptoms. Those with diabetes who have previously encountered hypoglycemic episodes commonly develop a Fear of Hyperglycemia (FOH). Illness perception (IP) significantly affects self-care behaviors and health outcomes in individuals diagnosed with T2D. OBJECTIVE This study examined the correlation between IP and FOH among T2D patients and predictors of FOH. METHODS The present study employed a descriptive-analytical design. The target population for this investigation comprised patients diagnosed T2D who sought medical care at the clinic and endocrinology departments of a hospital affiliated with Alborz University of Medical Sciences. The data collection period spanned from August 2019 to March 2021. A total of 300 individuals were included in the sample. Questionnaires were administered to measure both IP and FOH. Statistical analysis was conducted to examine the association between IP and FOH, as well as to identify the predictors of FOH. RESULTS The results of the study indicated a statistically significant relationship between FOH and the mean score of IP among patients with diabetes (p = 0.001, r = 0.393), suggesting a moderate positive correlation between these variables. Additionally, the duration of illness, IP, and level of education were identified as variables that predicted FOH (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The numerous factors that influence FOH in individuals diagnosed with T2D highlight the necessity for strategic planning and training initiatives aimed at enhancing IP and reducing FOH within this specific population. Healthcare providers should prioritize interventions that not only address patients' concerns but also contribute to the improvement of their overall well-being. By implementing such interventions, healthcare providers can optimize diabetes management strategies and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.

Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by chronic elevation in blood glucose levels, resulting from inadequate insulin production, defective cellular response to extracellular insulin, and/or impaired glucose metabolism. The two main types that account for most diabetics are type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), each with their own pathophysiological features. T1D is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. This leads to lack of insulin, a vital hormone for regulating blood sugar levels and cellular glucose uptake. As a result, those with T1D depend on lifelong insulin therapy to control their blood glucose level. In contrast, T2DM is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, coupled with a relative insulin deficiency. This form of diabetes is often associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and/or genetic factors, and it is managed with lifestyle changes and oral medications. Animal models play a crucial role in diabetes research. However, given the distinct differences between T1DM and T2DM, it is imperative for researchers to employ specific animal models tailored to each condition for a better understanding of the impaired mechanisms underlying each condition, and for assessing the efficacy of new therapeutics. In this review, we discuss the distinct animal models used in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus research and discuss their strengths and limitations.

The impact of using reinforcement learning to personalize communication on medication adherence: findings from the REINFORCE trial. NPJ Digit Med 2024; 7:39. [PMID: 38374424 PMCID: PMC10876539 DOI: 10.1038/s41746-024-01028-5] [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: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Text messaging can promote healthy behaviors, like adherence to medication, yet its effectiveness remains modest, in part because message content is rarely personalized. Reinforcement learning has been used in consumer technology to personalize content but with limited application in healthcare. We tested a reinforcement learning program that identifies individual responsiveness ("adherence") to text message content and personalizes messaging accordingly. We randomized 60 individuals with diabetes and glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] ≥ 7.5% to reinforcement learning intervention or control (no messages). Both arms received electronic pill bottles to measure adherence. The intervention improved absolute adjusted adherence by 13.6% (95%CI: 1.7%-27.1%) versus control and was more effective in patients with HbA1c 7.5- < 9.0% (36.6%, 95%CI: 25.1%-48.2%, interaction p < 0.001). We also explored whether individual patient characteristics were associated with differential response to tested behavioral factors and unique clusters of responsiveness. Reinforcement learning may be a promising approach to improve adherence and personalize communication at scale.

Abstract
The Carbohydrate Response Element Binding Protein (ChREBP) is a glucose-responsive transcription factor (TF) that is characterized by two major splice isoforms (α and β). In acute hyperglycemia, both ChREBP isoforms regulate adaptive β-expansion; however, during chronic hyperglycemia and glucolipotoxicity, ChREBPβ expression surges, leading to β-cell dedifferentiation and death. 14-3-3 binding to ChREBPα results in its cytoplasmic retention and concomitant suppression of transcriptional activity, suggesting that small molecule-mediated stabilization of this protein-protein interaction (PPI) via molecular glues may represent an attractive entry for the treatment of metabolic disease. Here, we show that structure-based optimizations of a molecular glue tool compound led not only to more potent ChREBPα/14-3-3 PPI stabilizers but also for the first time cellular active compounds. In primary human β-cells, the most active compound stabilized the ChREBPα/14-3-3 interaction and thus induced cytoplasmic retention of ChREBPα, resulting in highly efficient β-cell protection from glucolipotoxicity while maintaining β-cell identity. This study may thus not only provide the basis for the development of a unique class of compounds for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes but also showcases an alternative 'molecular glue' approach for achieving small molecule control of notoriously difficult targetable TFs.

Clinical inertia in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus among patients attending selected healthcare institutions in Colombia. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:42. [PMID: 38360703 PMCID: PMC10868072 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01245-0] [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: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of disease of diabetes in Colombia have increased in the last decades. Secondary prevention is crucial for diabetes control. Many patients already treated remain with poor glycemic control and without timely and appropriate treatment intensification. This has been called in the literature as Clinical Inertia. Updated information regarding clinical inertia based on the Colombian diabetes treatment guidelines is needed. OBJECTIVE To measure the prevalence of clinical inertia in newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients in healthcare institutions in Colombia, based on the recommendations of the current official guidelines. METHODS An observational and retrospective cohort study based on databases of two Health Medical Organizations (HMOs) in Colombia (one from subsidized regimen and one from contributory regimen) was conducted. Descriptive analysis was performed to summarize demographic and clinical information. Chi-square tests were used to assess associations between variables of interest. RESULTS A total of 616 patients with T2DM (308 for each regimen) were included. Median age was 61 years. Overall clinical inertia was 93.5% (87.0% in contributory regimen and 100% in subsidized regimen). Patients with Hb1Ac ≥ 8% in the subsidized regimen were more likely to receive monotherapy than patients in the contributory regimen (OR 2.33; 95% CI 1.41-3.86). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the prevalence of overall clinical inertia was higher in the subsidized regime than in the contributory regime (100% vs 87%). Great efforts have been made to equalize the coverage between the two systems, but this finding is worrisome with respect to the difference in quality of the health care provided to these two populations. This information may help payers and clinicians to streamline strategies for reducing clinical inertia and improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
The global diabetes surge poses a critical public health challenge, emphasizing the need for effective glycemic control. However, rapid correction of chronic hyperglycemia can unexpectedly trigger microvascular complications, necessitating a reevaluation of the speed and intensity of glycemic correction. Theories suggest swift blood sugar reductions may cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and neurovascular changes, resulting in complications. Healthcare providers should cautiously approach aggressive glycemic control, especially in long-standing, poorly controlled diabetes. Preventing and managing these complications requires a personalized, comprehensive approach with education, monitoring, and interdisciplinary care. Diabetes management must balance short and long-term goals, prioritizing overall well-being. This editorial underscores the need for a personalized, nuanced approach, focusing on equilibrium between glycemic control and avoiding overcorrection.

Abstract
The anti-diabetic properties of whole groats and dietary fibers from various grains and legumes are well known. Nevertheless, studies on the anti-diabetic effects of their extracts are limited, and it is difficult to compare their efficacy. This study investigated the anti-diabetic potential of ethanol extracts from oats (OE), sorghum (SE), foxtail millet (FE), proso millet (PE), adzuki bean (AE), and black soybean (BE) in a high-fat diet and streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced diabetic rat models. The extracts, obtained using 99.9 % ethanol, were orally administered to diabetic rats for four weeks. Various parameters were evaluated, including fasting blood glucose levels, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, serum insulin levels, and pancreas histological analysis. OE and SE effectively reduced fasting blood glucose levels and the area under the curve (AUC) in the oral glucose tolerance test. Only OE significantly decreased the AUC in the insulin tolerance test and increased insulin concentration and homeostatic model assessment of the β-cell function index, indicating improved insulin sensitivity and β-cell function. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis of the pancreas supported these findings, demonstrating that OE protected against pancreatic cell damage. In contrast, FE, PE, AE, and BE did not have a significant effect on diabetes-related parameters. These findings identify OE as the most promising natural intervention for diabetes management.

Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is the most prominent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of ulceration, amputation, and extended hospitalization. Evidence regarding the magnitude and factors associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy is not well documented in Ethiopia, particularly in the study area. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 293 adult type 2 diabetic patients who were on treatment and follow-up from May to June 31, 2023. To select participants in the study, a systematic random sampling method was utilized. Data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires and medical record reviews. The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) was employed to assess diabetic peripheral neuropathy. To model the association between diabetic peripheral neuropathy and independent variables, binary logistic regression model was used. An adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was used to estimate the association and statistical significance was proclaimed at a p-value < 0.05. The magnitude of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was 14.3% (95% CI 10.4-18.0). It was 13.4% (95% CI 8.4-19.1) among males and 15.4% (95% CI 10.1-22.2) among females. Age above 60 years (AOR = 5.06, 95% CI 1.60-15.96), being rural resident (AOR = 2.41; 95% CI 1.15-5.06), duration of diabetes above 5 years (AOR = 2.48, 95% CI 1.16-5.27) and having comorbid hypertension (AOR = 2.56, 95% CI 1.24-5.28) were independently associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. One in seven adult type 2 diabetes patients in the study area had diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Factors such as age, place of residence, duration of diabetes, and comorbid hypertension showed positive associations with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Thus, it is imperative to give special consideration to diabetic patients who are elderly, living in rural areas, experiencing a prolonged duration of diabetes, or dealing with comorbid hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiogenin, an enzyme belonging to the ribonucleases A superfamily, plays an important role in vascular biology. Here, we sought to study the association of plasma angiogenin and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS This prospective study included 1083 T2D individuals recruited from a secondary hospital and a primary care facility. The primary outcome was a composite of four-point MACE (nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, unstable angina pectoris leading to hospitalization and cardiovascular death). Circulating angiogenin was measured by a proximity extension assay. Cox regression models were used to evaluate the association of baseline plasma angiogenin with the risk of MACE. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 9.3 years, 109 (10%) MACE were identified. Plasma angiogenin was significantly higher in participants with MACE than in those without MACE (P < 0.001). Doubling of plasma angiogenin concentration was associated with a 3.10-fold (95% CI 1.84-5.22) increased risk for MACE. The association was only moderately attenuated after adjustment for demographic and cardiometabolic risk factors (adjusted HR 2.38, 95% CI 1.34-4.23) and remained statistically significant after additional adjustment for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (uACR) (adjusted HR 1.90, 95% CI 1.02-3.53). A consistent outcome was obtained when plasma angiogenin was analysed as a categorical variable in tertiles. CONCLUSIONS Plasma angiogenin was associated with the risk of future cardiovascular events in patients with T2D and may be a promising novel biomarker for identifying high-risk T2D patients for early management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); its diagnosis and treatment are based on symptomatic improvement. However, as pharmacological therapy causes multiple adverse effects, the implementation of acupunctural techniques, such as electroacupuncture (EA) has been suggested as an alternative treatment. Nonetheless, there is a lack of scientific evidence, and its mechanisms are still unclear. We present the design and methodology of a new clinical randomized trial, that investigates the effectiveness of EA for the treatment of DPN. METHODS This study is a four-armed, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trial (20-week intervention period, plus 12 weeks of follow-up after concluding intervention). A total of 48 T2DM patients with clinical signs and symptoms of DPN; and electrophysiological signs in the Nerve Conduction Study (NCS); will be treated by acupuncture specialists in outpatient units in Mexico City. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following four groups: (a) short fibre DPN with EA, (b) short fibre DPN with sham EA, (c) axonal DPN with EA and (d) axonal DPN with sham EA treatment. The intervention will consist of 32 sessions, 20 min each, per patient over two cycles of intervention of 8 weeks each and a mid-term rest period of 4 weeks. The primary outcome will be NCS parameters, and secondary outcomes will include DPN-related symptoms and pain by Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score (MDNS), Dolour Neuropatique Score (DN-4), Semmes-Westein monofilament, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain assessment, and the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). To measure quality of life and improve oxidative stress, the inflammatory response; and genetic expression; will be analysed at the beginning and at the end of treatment. DISCUSSION This study will be conducted to compare the efficacy of EA versus sham EA combined with conventional diabetic and neuropathic treatments if needed. EA may improve NCS, neuropathic pain and symptoms, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and genetic expression, and it could be considered a potential coadjutant treatment for the management of DPN with a possible remyelinating effect.

FASEB J 2024; 38:e23437. [PMID: 38305849 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202301479r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Impaired functionality and loss of islet β-cells are the primary abnormalities underlying the pathogenesis of both type 1 and 2 diabetes (T1DM and T2DM). However, specific therapeutic and preventive mechanisms underlying these conditions remain unclear. Mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-5 (MKP-5) has been implicated in carcinogenesis, lipid metabolism regulation, and immune cell activation. In a previous study, we demonstrated the involvement of exogenous MKP-5 in the regulation of obesity-induced T2DM. However, the role of endogenous MKP-5 in the T1DM and T2DM processes is unclear. Thus, mice with MKP-5 knockout (KO) were generated and used to establish mouse models of both T1DM and T2DM. Our results showed that MKP-5 KO exacerbated diabetes-related symptoms in mice with both T1DM and T2DM. Given that most phenotypic studies on islet dysfunction have focused on mice with T2DM rather than T1DM, we specifically aimed to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and autophagy in T2DM KO islets. To accomplish this, we performed RNA sequence analysis to gain comprehensive insight into the molecular mechanisms associated with ERS and autophagy in T2DM KO islets. The results showed that the islets from mice with MKP-5 KO triggered 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated autophagy inhibition and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP-78)-dominated ERS. Hence, we concluded that the autophagy impairment, resulting in islet dysfunction in mice with MKP-5 KO, is mediated through GRP-78 involvement. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular pathogenesis of diabetes and highlight the significant role of MKP-5. Moreover, this knowledge holds promise for novel therapeutic strategies targeting MKP-5 for diabetes management.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study is to explore the prevalence and attributable burden of diet high in processed meat (DHIPM) in global, regional, and national level due to the burden caused by unhealthy dietary pattern worldwide. Design Cross-sectional study. Materials and design All the data involved in this research were obtained from Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019. DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian meta-regression tool, was used to estimate the prevalence, which was measured by summary exposure value (SEV) and attributable burden of DHIPM. The Spearman rank order correlation method was performed to measure the correlation between sociodemographic index (SDI) and the prevalence as well as attributable burden. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was calculated to demonstrate the temporal trends. Results Globally, there were 304.28 thousand deaths and 8556.88 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) caused by DHIPM in 2019 and increased by 34.63 and 68.69%, respectively. The prevalence had decreased slightly from 1990 to 2019, however increased in most regions and countries, especially in middle SDI regions, despite the implicitly high prevalence in high SDI regions. Countries with higher SDI values were facing higher prevalence and attributable burden of DHIPM while developing countries were observed with severer temporal trends. Compared with women, men had suffered from lower exposure level however graver attributable burden of DHIPM in the past three decades. Conclusion The progress of continuous urbanization allowed increasingly severe prevalence and attributable burden of DHIPM, thus the challenge to alleviate this trend was acute. Effective measures such as education on beneficial dietary pattern and supplement on healthy food were urgently required, especially in developing regions and countries.

Abstract
Introduction The utilization of social media presents a promising avenue for the prevention and management of diabetes. To effectively cater to the diabetes-related knowledge, support, and intervention needs of the community, it is imperative to attain a deeper understanding of the extent and content of discussions pertaining to this health issue. This study aims to assess and compare various topic modeling techniques to determine the most effective model for identifying the core themes in diabetes-related tweets, the sources responsible for disseminating this information, the reach of these themes, and the influential individuals within the Twitter community in India. Methods Twitter messages from India, dated between 7 November 2022 and 28 February 2023, were collected using the Twitter API. The unsupervised machine learning topic models, namely, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), BERTopic, and Top2Vec, were compared, and the best-performing model was used to identify common diabetes-related topics. Influential users were identified through social network analysis. Results The NMF model outperformed the LDA model, whereas BERTopic performed better than Top2Vec. Diabetes-related conversations revolved around eight topics, namely, promotion, management, drug and personal story, consequences, risk factors and research, raising awareness and providing support, diet, and opinion and lifestyle changes. The influential nodes identified were mainly health professionals and healthcare organizations. Discussion The study identified important topics of discussion along with health professionals and healthcare organizations involved in sharing diabetes-related information with the public. Collaborations among influential healthcare organizations, health professionals, and the government can foster awareness and prevent noncommunicable diseases.

Abstract
Target identification is a crucial step in elucidating the mechanisms by which functional food components exert their functions. Here, we identified the G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1, also known as TGR5) as a target of the triterpenoid mogrol, a class of aglycone mogroside derivative from Siraitia grosvenorii. Mogrol, but not mogrosides, activated cAMP-response element-mediated transcription in a TGR5-dependent manner. Additionally, mogrol selectively activated TGR5 but not the other bile acid-responsive receptors (i.e., farnesoid X receptor, vitamin D receptor, or muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3). Several amino acids in TGR5 (L71A2.60, W75AECL1, Q77AECL1, R80AECL1, Y89A3.29, F161AECL2, L166A5.39, Y240A6.51, S247A6.58, Y251A6.62, L262A7.35, and L266A7.39) were found to be important for mogrol-induced activation. Mogrol activated insulin secretion under low-glucose conditions in INS-1 pancreatic β-cells, which can be inhibited by a TGR5 inhibitor. Similar effects of mogrol on insulin secretion were observed in the isolated mouse islets. Mogrol administration partially but significantly alleviated hyperglycemia in KKAy diabetic mice by increasing the insulin levels without affecting the β-cell mass or pancreatic insulin content. These results suggest that mogrol stimulates insulin secretion and alleviates hyperglycemia by acting as a TGR5 agonist.

Abstract
Introduction There is growing evidence from animal and clinical studies suggesting probiotics can positively affect type 2 diabetes (T2D). In a previous randomized clinical study, we found that administering a live multistrain probiotic and absorbent smectite once a day for eight weeks to patients with T2D could reduce chronic systemic inflammatory state, insulin resistance, waist circumference and improve the glycemic profile. However, there is a lack of evidence supporting the efficacy of probiotic co-supplementation with absorbent smectite on pancreatic β-cell function in T2D. Aim This secondary analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of an alive multistrain probiotic co-supplementation with absorbent smectite vs placebo on β-cell function in T2D patients. Material and methods We performed a secondary analysis on a previously published randomized controlled trial (NCT04293731, NCT03614039) involving 46 patients with T2D. The main inclusion criteria were the presence of β-cell dysfunction (%B<60%) and insulin therapy alone or combined with oral anti-diabetic drugs. The primary outcome was assessing β-cell function as change C-peptide and %B. Results We observed only a tendency for improving β-cell function (44.22 ± 12.80 vs 55.69 ± 25.75; р=0.094). The effectiveness of the therapy probiotic-smectite group was confirmed by fasting glycemia decreased by 14% (p=0.019), HbA1c - 5% (p=0.007), HOMA-2 - 17% (p=0.003) and increase of insulin sensitivity by 23% (p=0.005). Analysis of the cytokine profile showed that statistical differences after treatment were in the concentration of both pro-inflammatory cytokines: IL-1β (22.83 ± 9.04 vs 19.03 ± 5.57; p=0.045) and TNF-α (31.25 ± 11.32 vs 26.23 ± 10.13; p=0.041). Conclusion Adding a live multistrain probiotic and absorbent smectite supplement slightly improved β-cell function and reduced glycemic-related parameters in patients with T2D. This suggests that adjusting the gut microbiota could be a promising treatment for diabetes and warrants further investigation through more extensive studies.

[PMID: 38390214 PMCID: PMC10882716 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1330936] [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: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used due to their profound efficacy in glycemic control and weight management. Within real-world contexts, the manifestation of certain psychiatric adverse events (AEs) has been observed, which is potentially linked to the administration of GLP-1 RAs. The objective of this study was to undertake a comprehensive investigation and characterization of the psychiatric AEs associated with GLP-1 RAs. Methods We retrieved reports of AEs associated with treatment with GLP-1 RAs during the period from the first quarter (Q1) of 2004 to Q1 2023 from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Descriptive analysis was performed to examine the clinical characteristics and time to onset of the psychiatric AEs caused by GLP-1 RAs. Moreover, disproportionality analyses were performed using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) to identify GLP-1 RA-related psychiatric AEs. Results A total of 8,240 reports of psychiatric AEs were analyzed out of 181,238 AE reports with treatment with GLP-1 RAs. Among these cases, a higher percentage was represented by women compared to men (65.89% vs. 30.96%). The median age of these patients was 56 years, with an interquartile range (IQR) of 48-67 years, based on data available in 286 case reports. This study showed that the median time to onset of the overall GLP-1 RA-related AEs was 31 days (IQR = 7-145.4 days), which varied among GLP-1 RA regimens. Specifically, exenatide had a significantly longer onset time at 45 days (IQR = 11-213 days), with statistically significant differences from the onset times of the other five GLP-1 RAs (p< 0.0001). Moreover, eight categories of psychiatric AEs, namely, nervousness (ROR = 1.97, 95% CI = 1.85-2.11), stress (ROR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.19-1.38), eating disorder (ROR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.40-1.77), fear of injection (ROR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.60-2.40), sleep disorder due to general medical condition-insomnia type (ROR = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.60-2.52), binge eating (ROR = 2.70, 95% CI = 1.75-4.16), fear of eating (ROR 3.35, 95% CI = 1.65-6.78), and self-induced vomiting (ROR = 3.77, 95% CI = 1.77-8.03), were defined as GLP-1 RA-related psychiatric AEs through disproportionality analysis. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate a significant association between GLP-1 RAs and the development of specific psychiatric AEs. Despite the observational nature of this pharmacovigilance study and the inherent limitations of the FAERS database, our preliminary findings in this work could provide a better basis for understanding the potential psychiatric AEs that may occur with GLP-1 RA treatment, assisting clinicians to focus on these AEs and provide early intervention for optimal risk management.

Abstract
Traditional approaches to prevention of the complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity have focused on reduction of blood glucose and body weight. The development of new classes of medications, together with evidence from dietary weight loss and bariatric surgery trials, provides new options for prevention of heart failure, chronic kidney disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, metabolic liver disease, cancer, T2D, and neurodegenerative disorders. Here I review evidence for use of lifestyle modification, SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and bariatric surgery, for prevention of cardiorenal and metabolic complications in people with T2D or obesity, highlighting the contributions of weight loss, as well as weight loss-independent mechanisms of action. Collectively, the evidence supports a tailored approach to selection of therapeutic interventions for T2D and obesity based on the likelihood of developing specific complications, rather than a stepwise approach focused exclusively on glycemic or weight control.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) serve as crucial contact sites between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Recent research has highlighted the significance of MAM, which serve as a platform for various protein molecules, in processes such as calcium signaling, ATP production, mitochondrial structure and function, and autophagy. Cardiac diseases caused by any reason can lead to changes in myocardial structure and function, significantly impacting human health. Notably, MAM exhibits various regulatory effects to maintain cellular balance in several cardiac diseases conditions, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiotoxicity. MAM proteins independently or interact with their counterparts, forming essential tethers between the ER and mitochondria in cardiomyocytes. This review provides an overview of key MAM regulators, detailing their structure and functions. Additionally, it explores the connection between MAM and various cardiac injuries, suggesting that precise genetic, pharmacological, and physical regulation of MAM may be a promising strategy for preventing and treating heart failure.

Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia is highly prevalent among individuals with prediabetes, further exacerbating their cardiovascular risk. However, the genetic determinants underlying diabetic dyslipidemia in Southern Han Chinese remain largely unexplored. Methods We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of blood lipid traits in 451 Southern Han Chinese adults with prediabetes. Fasting plasma lipids, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were assayed. Genotyping was conducted using the Precision Medicine Diversity Array and Gene Titan platform, followed by genotype imputation using IMPUTE2 with the 1000 Genomes Project (Phase 3, Southern Han Chinese) as reference. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with lipid levels were identified using mixed linear regression, with adjustment for covariates. Results We identified 58, 215, 74 and 81 novel SNPs associated with TG, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C levels, respectively (P < 5×10-5). Several implicated loci were located in or near genes involved in lipid metabolism, including SRD5A2, PCSK7, PITPNC1, IRX3, BPI, and LBP. Pathway enrichment analysis highlighted lipid metabolism and insulin secretion. Conclusion This first GWAS of dyslipidemia in Southern Han Chinese with prediabetes identified novel genetic variants associated with lipid traits. Our findings provide new insights into genetic mechanisms underlying heightened cardiovascular risk in the prediabetic stage. Functional characterization of implicated loci is warranted.

Abstract
Aging in humans is associated with abdominal distribution and remodeling of body fat and a parallel gradual increase in the prevalence of metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and fatty liver disease, as well as the risk of developing metabolic complications. Current treatments might be improved by understanding the detailed mechanisms underlying the onset of age-related metabolic disorders. Neddylation, a post-translational modification that adds the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8 to substrate proteins, has recently been linked to age-related metabolic diseases, opening new avenues of investigation and raising a potential target for treatment of these diseases. In this review, we will focus on the potential role of NEDD8-mediated neddylation in age-related metabolic dysregulation, insulin resistance, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus and fatty liver. We propose that alterations in NEDD8-mediated neddylation contribute to triggering insulin resistance and the development of age-related metabolic dysregulation, thus highlighting NEDD8 as a promising therapeutic target for preventing age-related metabolic diseases.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:8291-8311.

Abstract
Arsenic-contaminated drinking water can induce various disorders by disrupting lipid and glucose metabolism in adipose tissue, leading to insulin resistance. It inhibits adipocyte development and exacerbates insulin resistance, though the precise impact on lipid synthesis and lipolysis remains unclear. This review aims to explore the processes and pathways involved in adipogenesis and lipolysis within adipose tissue concerning arsenic-induced diabetes. Although arsenic exposure is linked to type 2 diabetes, the specific role of adipose tissue in its pathogenesis remains uncertain. The review delves into arsenic's effects on adipose tissue and related signaling pathways, such as SIRT3-FOXO3a, Ras-MAP-AP-1, PI(3)-K-Akt, endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins, CHOP10, and GPCR pathways, emphasizing the role of adipokines. This analysis relies on existing literature, striving to offer a comprehensive understanding of different adipokine categories contributing to arsenic-induced diabetes. The findings reveal that arsenic detrimentally impacts white adipose tissue (WAT) by reducing adipogenesis and promoting lipolysis. Epidemiological studies have hinted at a potential link between arsenic exposure and obesity development, with limited research suggesting a connection to lipodystrophy. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the mechanistic association between arsenic exposure and impaired adipose tissue function, ultimately leading to insulin resistance.
