Comparison of β-Cell Function and Insulin Sensitivity Between Normal-Weight and Obese Chinese With Young-Onset Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes 2024; 73:953-963. [PMID: 38506952 DOI: 10.2337/db23-0966] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
Normal-weight individuals with usual-onset type 2 diabetes have reduced β-cell function and greater insulin sensitivity compared with their obese counterparts. The relative contribution of β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance to young-onset type 2 diabetes (YOD) among normal-weight individuals is not well established. In 44 individuals with YOD (24 with normal weight and 20 with obesity) and 24 healthy control individuals with normoglycemia (12 with normal weight and 12 with obesity), we conducted 2-h 12 mmol/L hyperglycemic clamps to measure acute (0-10 min) and steady-state (100-120 min) insulin and C-peptide responses, as well as insulin sensitivity index. Normal-weight individuals with YOD had lower acute insulin response, steady-state insulin and C-peptide responses, and a higher insulin sensitivity index compared with their obese counterparts with YOD. Compared with BMI-matched healthy control individuals, normal-weight individuals with YOD had lower acute and steady-state insulin and C-peptide responses but a similar insulin sensitivity index. The impairment of steady-state β-cell response relative to healthy control individuals was more pronounced in normal-weight versus obese individuals with YOD. In conclusion, normal-weight Chinese with YOD exhibited worse β-cell function but preserved insulin sensitivity relative to obese individuals with YOD and BMI-matched healthy individuals with normoglycemia. The selection of glucose-lowering therapy should account for pathophysiological differences underlying YOD between normal-weight and obese individuals. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
The incidence and prevalence of youth-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are increasing. The rise in frequency and severity of childhood obesity, inclination to sedentary lifestyle, and epigenetic risks related to prenatal hyperglycemia exposure are important drivers of the youth-onset T2DM epidemic and might as well be responsible for the early onset of diabetes complications. Indeed, youth-onset T2DM has a more extreme metabolic phenotype than adult-onset T2DM, with greater insulin resistance and more rapid deterioration of beta cell function. Therefore, intermediate complications such as microalbuminuria develop in late childhood or early adulthood, while end-stage complications develop in mid-life. Due to the lack of efficacy and safety data, several drugs available for the treatment of adults with T2DM have not been approved in youth, reducing the pharmacological treatment options. In this mini review, we will try to address the present challenges and pitfalls related to youth-onset T2DM and summarize the available interventions to mitigate the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications.

Effectiveness of lifestyle interventions/culturally bespoke programmes in South Asian ethnic groups targeting weight loss for prevention and/or remission of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention trials. J Hum Nutr Diet 2024; 37:550-563.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People from South Asian heritage are at high risk of type 2 diabetes, but there are limited specific strategies to prevent and manage this condition. The aim was to assess the effectiveness of culturally bespoke lifestyle programmes in South Asians that target weight loss for the prevention or remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention trials. PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), CINAHL, PsycINFO and CENTRAL were searched. Human intervention trials (randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental) investigating the effect of lifestyle interventions on the prevention and remission of T2DM in South Asians were included. Studies including participants at risk of T2DM (prevention trials) and having the disease (remission trials) with duration ≥12 weeks were eligible. For prevention trials, the primary outcome was change in weight (kg) from baseline; for remission trials, it was decrease in HbA1c to non-diabetic levels (HbA1c ≤ 6.5%) without diabetes medications. Prevention trials were separated into (i) lifestyle modification advice and (ii) lifestyle modification advice including a supervised physical activity programme. RESULTS Twenty-four trials were eligible (21 prevention trials and 3 remission trials). In T2DM prevention trials involving only lifestyle modification advice, the mean postintervention difference in weight between intervention and control groups was -0.65 kg (95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.04, -0.26; p = 0.01). Lifestyle modification advice including a physical activity programme was associated with greater decreases in weight: -1.13 kg (95% CI: -2.04, -0.21; p = 0.02). Fasting blood glucose levels were slightly lower in intervention groups for both intervention subtypes, although there was no significant change in HbA1c levels or 2-h plasma glucose levels. Diabetes remission trials showed potential acceptability but were limited in number and involved a small sample size, and some did not include a control group. CONCLUSIONS In South Asians, lifestyle interventions for prevention of T2DM offer only modest impacts on weight and glucose control and will unlikely reduce diabetes incidence. Alternative lifestyle interventions co-designed with members of the communities and aimed at both prevention and remission of T2DM must be urgently considered.

Abstract
The incidence rates of type 2 diabetes among adults in Asia have been stable, but the rates in youth and young adults have increased. In territory-wide surveillance in Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region of People's Republic of China, all-cause mortality rates among people with diabetes have exhibited a declining trend in the past 15 years, with a narrowing in the mortality gap between people with and without diabetes. At the same time, the improvement in survival resulted in a changing age structure and disease profile of people with diabetes, towards an increasing proportion of older people with long diabetes duration and multi-morbidities. Reductions in event rates were not observed in the youngest age group who also had the least gains in risk factor control and uptake in organ protective drugs over time. A young age at diabetes diagnosis, associated with exposure to high glycemic burden from an early age, predicted higher risks of complications and premature mortality compared with later-onset of diabetes. People presenting with type 2 diabetes below 40 years of age were 5-fold more likely to die and their life expectancy was shortened by 8 years than age-matched counterparts without diabetes. Analysis of population-based data in Hong Kong Chinese identified hypertension followed by chronic kidney disease as the leading contributor to mortality in young people, indicating that efforts to optimize non-glycemic risk factors and organ protection are as important in young individuals as it is in the older population.

Abstract
In high-income countries, rates of atherosclerotic complications in type 2 diabetes have declined markedly over time due to better management of traditional risk factors including lipids, blood pressure, and glycemia levels. Population-wide reductions in smoking have also helped lower atherosclerotic complications and so reduce premature mortality in type 2 diabetes. However, as excess adiposity is a stronger driver for heart failure (HF), and obesity levels have remained largely unchanged, HF risks have not declined as much and may even be rising in the increasing number of people developing type 2 diabetes at younger ages. Excess weight is also an underrecognized risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Based on evidence from a range of sources, we explain how excess adiposity must be influencing most risks well before diabetes develops, particularly in younger-onset diabetes, which is linked to greater excess adiposity. We also review potential mechanisms linking excess adiposity to HF and CKD and speculate on how some of the responsible pathways-e.g., hemodynamic, cellular overnutrition, and inflammatory-could be favorably influenced by intentional weight loss (via lifestyle or drugs). On the basis of available evidence, we suggest that the cardiorenal outcome benefits seen with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors may partially derive from their interference of some of these same pathways. We also note that many other complications common in diabetes (e.g., hepatic, joint disease, perhaps mental health) are also variably linked to excess adiposity, the aggregated exposure to which has now increased in type 2 diabetes. All such observations suggest a greater need to tackle excess adiposity earlier in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular senescence is associated with the formation and progression of a range of illnesses, including ageing and metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus and pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. Ageing and reduced glucose tolerance are interconnected. Often, Diabetes is becoming more common, which is concerning since it raises the risk of a variety of age-dependent disorders such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are to find out the most recent research on how ageing affects the functions of pancreatic beta cells, beta cell mass, beta cell senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance. METHODS Various research and review manuscripts are gathered from various records such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Mendeley, Scopus, Science Open, the Directory of Open Access Journals, and the Education Resources Information Centre, using different terms like "Diabetes, cellular senescence, beta cells, ageing, insulin, glucose". RESULTS In this review, we research novel targets in order to discover new strategies to treat diabetes. Abnormal glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the elderly may aid in the development of novel medicines to delay or prevent diabetes onset, improve quality of life, and, finally, increase life duration. CONCLUSION Aging accelerates beta cell senescence by generating premature cell senescence, which is mostly mediated by high glucose levels. Despite higher plasma glucose levels, hepatic gluconeogenesis accelerates and adipose tissue lipolysis rises, resulting in an increase in free fatty acid levels in the blood and worsening insulin resistance throughout the body.

Whole Blood-based Transcriptional Risk Score for Nonobese Type 2 Diabetes Predicts Dynamic Changes in Glucose Metabolism. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 109:114-124.

Abstract
CONTEXT The performance of peripheral blood transcriptional markers in evaluating risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with normal body mass index (BMI) is unknown. OBJECTIVE We developed a whole blood-based transcriptional risk score (wb-TRS) for nonobese T2D and assessed its contributions on disease risk and dynamic changes in glucose metabolism. METHODS Using a community-based cohort with blood transcriptome data, we developed the wb-TRS in 1105 participants aged ≥40 years who maintained a normal BMI for up to 10 years, and we validated the wb-TRS in an external dataset. Potential biological significance was explored. RESULTS The wb-TRS included 144 gene transcripts. Compared to the lowest tertile, wb-TRS in tertile 3 was associated with 8.91-fold (95% CI, 3.53-22.5) higher risk and each 1-unit increment was associated with 2.63-fold (95% CI, 1.87-3.68) higher risk of nonobese T2D. Furthermore, baseline wb-TRS significantly associated with dynamic changes in average, daytime, nighttime, and 24-hour glucose, HbA1c values, and area under the curve of glucose measured by continuous glucose monitoring over 6 months of intervention. The wb-TRS improved the prediction performance for nonobese T2D, combined with fasting glucose, triglycerides, and demographic and anthropometric parameters. Multi-contrast gene set enrichment (Mitch) analysis implicated oxidative phosphorylation, mTORC1 signaling, and cholesterol metabolism involved in nonobese T2D pathogenesis. CONCLUSION A whole blood-based nonobese T2D-associated transcriptional risk score was validated to predict dynamic changes in glucose metabolism. These findings suggested several biological pathways involved in the pathogenesis of nonobese T2D.

Abstract
South Asian individuals (SAs) face heightened risks of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) and early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with grave health, societal, and economic implications due to the region's dense population. Both conditions, influenced by cardiometabolic risk factors such as insulin resistance, hypertension, and central adiposity, manifest earlier and with unique thresholds in SAs. Epidemiological, demographic, nutritional, environmental, sociocultural, and economic transitions in SA have exacerbated the twin epidemic. The coupling of premature CAD and T2DM arises from increased obesity due to limited adipose storage, early-life undernutrition, distinct fat thresholds, reduced muscle mass, and a predisposition for hepatic fat accumulation from certain dietary choices cumulatively precipitating a decline in insulin sensitivity. As T2DM ensues, the β-cell adaptive responses are suboptimal, precipitating a transition from compensatory hyperinsulinemia to β-cell decompensation, underscoring a reduced functional β-cell reserve in SAs. This review delves into the interplay of these mechanisms and highlights a prediabetes endotype tied to elevated vascular risk. Deciphering these mechanistic interconnections promises to refine stratification paradigms, surpassing extant risk-prediction strategies.

Abstract
Ethnic South Asian Americans have the highest relative risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the US. Culturally tailored and language-concordant diabetes care and nutrition interventions can potentially promote South Asian diabetes management and disease progression. From our perspective, the extent of their use and evaluation in the US settings remains limited. This Perspective characterizes and evaluates the necessity and outcomes of culturally and linguistically adapted lifestyle interventions targeted toward type 2 diabetes mellitus indicators among South Asian individuals in the US. Suggestions for how this education could be modified include emphasizing the cultural and linguistic knowledge and self-awareness of diabetes educators and the sociological and historical factors that influence the cultural and linguistic orientation of diabetes care professionals and their clients. Such strategies could ensure better diabetes education and self-management among South Asian individuals.

Abstract
Use of effective treatments and management programs is leading to longer survival of people with diabetes. This, in combination with obesity, is thus contributing to a rise in people living with more than one condition, known as multiple long-term conditions (MLTC or multimorbidity). MLTC is defined as the presence of two or more long-term conditions, with possible combinations of physical, infectious, or mental health conditions, where no one condition is considered as the index. These include a range of conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic kidney disease, arthritis, depression, dementia, and severe mental health illnesses. MLTC has major implications for the individual such as poor quality of life, worse health outcomes, fragmented care, polypharmacy, poor treatment adherence, mortality, and a significant impact on health care services. MLTC is a challenge, where interventions for prevention and management are lacking a robust evidence base. The key research directions for diabetes and MLTC from a global perspective include system delivery and care coordination, lifestyle interventions and therapeutic interventions.

The case for precision medicine in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiometabolic diseases in low-income and middle-income countries. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2023; 11:836-847. [PMID: 37804857 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(23)00164-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases are the leading preventable causes of death in most geographies. The causes, clinical presentations, and pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases vary greatly worldwide, as do the resources and strategies needed to prevent and treat them. Therefore, there is no single solution and health care should be optimised, if not to the individual (ie, personalised health care), then at least to population subgroups (ie, precision medicine). This optimisation should involve tailoring health care to individual disease characteristics according to ethnicity, biology, behaviour, environment, and subjective person-level characteristics. The capacity and availability of local resources and infrastructures should also be considered. Evidence needed for equitable precision medicine cannot be generated without adequate data from all target populations, and the idea that research done in high-income countries will transfer adequately to low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) is problematic, as many migration studies and transethnic comparisons have shown. However, most data for precision medicine research are derived from people of European ancestry living in high-income countries. In this Series paper, we discuss the case for precision medicine for cardiometabolic diseases in LMICs, the barriers and enablers, and key considerations for implementation. We focus on three propositions: first, failure to explore and implement precision medicine for cardiometabolic disease in LMICs will enhance global health disparities. Second, some LMICs might already be placed to implement cardiometabolic precision medicine under appropriate circumstances, owing to progress made in treating infectious diseases. Third, improvements in population health from precision medicine are most probably asymptotic; the greatest gains are more likely to be obtained in countries where health-care systems are less developed. We outline key recommendations for implementation of precision medicine approaches in LMICs.

Abstract
AIMS We compared beta-cell function in Chinese with type 2 diabetes diagnosed at age < 40 years (young-onset diabetes, YOD) and ≥ 40 years (late-onset diabetes, LOD). METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we selected participants from two cohorts of people with type 2 diabetes recruited in 1996-2012 (n = 4,376) and 2020-2021 (n = 794). Multivariable linear regression models were applied to compare homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function (HOMA2-%B) and fasting plasma C-peptide across diabetes duration at enrolment between YOD and LOD. RESULTS The YOD group (n = 1,876, mean [SD] age: 39.9 [7.5] years, median [IQR] diabetes duration: 6 [2-12] years) was more likely to have family history of diabetes (61.6 % vs 43.6 %), obesity (41.9 % vs 26.8 %), dyslipidaemia (61.7 % vs 54.4 %), and worse glycaemic control (mean HbA1c 7.7 % vs 7.4 %) than those with LOD (n = 3,294, age: 60.8 [10.6] years, diabetes duration: 5 [1-10] years). When compared to people with LOD, HOMA2-%B and fasting plasma C-peptide were lower in the YOD group, consistently among those with BMI < 27.5 kg/m2 and HOMA2-IR ≤ 1.6 (median value), adjusted for year at enrolment, sex, diabetes duration, family history of diabetes, HbA1c, weight and lipid indices (p < 0.01). Cross-sectionally, the slopes of decline in HOMA2-%B by diabetes duration were greater in YOD than LOD among individuals with BMI < 27.5 kg/m2 (p-interaction = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS Chinese with YOD had accelerated loss of beta-cell function than those with LOD especially in non-obese individuals.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood is termed early-onset type 2 diabetes. Cases of early-onset type 2 diabetes are increasing rapidly globally, alongside rising obesity. Compared with a diagnosis later in life, an earlier-onset diagnosis carries an unexplained excess risk of microvascular complications, adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and earlier death. Women with early-onset type 2 diabetes also have a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The high burden of complications renders individuals with early-onset type 2 diabetes at future risk of multimorbidity and interventions to reverse these concerning trends should be a priority. Within the early-onset cohort, disease pathophysiology and interventions have been better studied in paediatric-onset (<19 years) type 2 diabetes compared to adults; however, young adults aged 19-39 years (a larger number proportionally) are not well characterised and are also invisible in the current evidence base supporting management, which is derived from trials in later-onset type 2 diabetes. Young adults with type 2 diabetes face challenges in self-management that older individuals are less likely to experience (being in education or of working age, higher diabetes distress, and possible obesity-related stigma and diabetes-related stigma). There is a major research gap as to the optimal strategies to deploy in managing type 2 diabetes in adolescents and young adults, given that current models of care appear to not work as well in this age group. In the face of manifold risk factors (obesity, female sex, social deprivation, non-White European ethnicity, and genetic risk factors) prevention strategies with tailored lifestyle interventions, where needed, are likely to have greater success, but more evidence is needed. In this Review, we draw on evidence from both adolescents and young adults to provide a contemporary update on the current insights and emerging trends in early-onset type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE South Asian (SA) persons have increased risks for diabetes mellitus (DM) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We examined whether the association of DM with subclinical atherosclerosis assessed by coronary artery calcium (CAC) differs in SA versus other ethnic groups. METHODS We studied adults from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America studies without ASCVD. CAC was examined among those normoglycemic, pre-DM and DM. Logistic regression examined pre-DM and DM with the odds of any CAC > 0 and CAC ≥ 100. RESULTS Among 7562 participants, CAC > 0 and CAC ≥ 100 in those with DM was highest in non-Hispanic White (NHW) (80% and 48%) and SA (72% and 41%) persons. Adjusted Ln (CAC + 1) was highest in NHW (3.68 ± 0.21) and SA (3.60 ± 0.23) (p < .01) DM patients. SA and NHW adults with DM (vs normoglycemic) had highest odds of CAC > 0 (2.13 and 2.27, respectively, p < .01). For CAC ≥ 100, SA and Chinese adults had the highest odds (2.28 and 2.27, respectively, p < .01). Fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin were most strongly associated with CAC among SA. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes mellitus most strongly relates to any CAC in SA and NHW adults and CAC ≥ 100 in SA and Chinese adults, helping to explain the relation of DM with ASCVD in these populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) currently was increased in some countries of the world like China. However, the epidemiological trends of T2DM attributable to non-high body mass index (BMI) remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to describe the burden of T2DM attributable to non-high BMI. METHODS To estimate the burden of T2DM attributable to non-high BMI, data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 were used to calculate the deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by age, sex, year, and location. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was applied in the analysis of temporal trends in T2DM from 1990 to 2019. RESULTS Globally in 2019, the number of death cases and DALYs of T2DM attributable to non-high BMI accounted for 57.9% and 48.1% of T2DM-death from all risks, respectively. Asia accounted for 59.5% and 63.6% of the global non-high-BMI-related death cases and DALYs of T2DM in 2019, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, regions in the low-income experienced a rise in DALYs attributable to non-high BMI. As compared to other age groups, older participants had higher deaths and DALYs of T2DM attributable to non-high BMI. The death and DALY rates of T2DM due to non-high BMI were higher in males and people in regions with low socio-demographic index (SDI) countries. CONCLUSIONS The burden of T2DM attributable to non-high BMI is higher in the elderly and in people in regions with low- and middle-SDI, resulting in a substantial burden on human health and the social cost of healthcare.

THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. SOUTHEAST ASIA 2023; 14:100182. [PMID: 37492423 PMCID: PMC10363502 DOI: 10.1016/j.lansea.2023.100182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 12/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
Background A machine-learning approach identified five subgroups of diabetes in Europeans which included severe autoimmune diabetes (SAID), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD), severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD), mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD) and mild age-related diabetes (MARD) with partially distinct genetic aetiologies. We previously validated four of the non-autoimmune subgroups in people with young-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the Indian WellGen study. Here, we aimed to apply European-derived centroids and genetic risk scores (GRSs) to the unselected (for age) WellGen to test their applicability and investigate the genetic aetiology of the Indian T2D subgroups. Methods We applied European derived centroids and GRSs to T2D participants of Indian ancestry (WellGen, n = 2217, 821 genotyped) and compared them with normal glucose tolerant controls (Pune Maternal Nutrition Study, n = 461). Findings SIDD was the predominant subgroup followed by MOD, whereas SIRD and MARD were less frequent. Weighted-GRS for T2D, obesity and lipid-related traits associated with T2D. We replicated some of the previous associations of GRS for T2D, insulin secretion, and BMI with SIDD and MOD. Unique to Indian subgroups was the association of GRS for (a) proinsulin with MOD and MARD, (b) liver-lipids with SIDD, SIRD and MOD, and (c) opposite effect of beta-cell GRS with SIDD and MARD, obesity GRS with MARD compared to Europeans. Genetic variants of fucosyltransferases were associated with T2D and MOD in Indians but not Europeans. Interpretation The similarities emphasise the applicability of some of the European-derived GRSs to T2D and its subgroups in India while the differences highlight the need for large-scale studies to identify aetiologies in diverse ancestries. The data provide robust evidence for genetically distinct aetiologies for the T2D subgroups and at least partly mirror those seen in Europeans.

Changing socioeconomic and geographic gradients in cardiovascular disease risk factors among Indians aged 15-49 years - evidence from nationally representative household surveys. THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. SOUTHEAST ASIA 2023; 12:100188. [PMID: 37384058 PMCID: PMC10305936 DOI: 10.1016/j.lansea.2023.100188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). CVDs and their metabolic risk factors have historically been concentrated among urban residents with higher socioeconomic status (SES) in LMICs such as India. However, as India develops, it is unclear whether these socioeconomic and geographic gradients will persist or change. Understanding these social dynamics in CVD risk is essential for mitigating the rising burden of CVDs and to reach those with the greatest needs. Methods Using nationally representative data with biomarker measurements from the fourth (2015-16) and fifth (2019-21) Indian National Family and Health Surveys, we investigated trends in the prevalence of four CVD risk factors: smoking (self-reported), unhealthy weight (BMI ≥25 kgm2), diabetes (random plasma glucose concentration ≥200 mg/dL or self-reported diabetes), and hypertension (one of: average systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, average diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, self-reported past diagnosis, or self-reported current antihypertensive medication use) among adults aged 15-49 years. We first described changes at the national level and then trends stratified by place of residence (urban versus rural), geographic region (northern, northeastern, central, eastern, western, southern), regional level of development (Empowered Action Group member state or not), and two measures of socioeconomic status: level of education (no education, primary incomplete, primary complete, secondary incomplete, secondary complete, higher) and wealth (quintiles). Findings Unhealthy weight increased among all social and geographic groups but both the absolute and the relative changes were substantially higher among people with low SES (as measured by education or wealth) and in rural areas. For diabetes and hypertension, the prevalence increased for those from disadvantaged groups while staying constant or even decreasing among the wealthier and more educated. In contrast, smoking consumption declined for all social and geographic groups. Interpretation In 2015-16, CVD risk factors were higher among more advantaged subpopulations in India. However, between 2015-16 and 2019-21, the prevalence of these risk factors grew more rapidly for less wealthy and less educated subpopulations and those living in rural areas. These trends have resulted in CVD risk becoming far more widespread throughout the population; CVD can no longer be characterized as a wealthy urban phenomenon.

Farhat G. Culturally Tailored Dietary Interventions for Improving Glycaemic Control and Preventing Complications in South Asians with Type 2 Diabetes: Success and Future Implications. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11081123. [PMID: 37107956 PMCID: PMC10138081 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11081123] [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: 03/12/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Glycaemic control is the basis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management and is crucial for preventing diabetes microvascular and macrovascular complications. The South Asian population is at higher risk of T2DM and resultant cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease and death compared to Caucasians. Effective diabetes care has been deemed challenging in this population, but little is known about the usefulness of lifestyle interventions in improving glycaemic control and reducing complications. This narrative review aims to explore the efficacy of lifestyle interventions targeted to South Asians with T2DM in inducing clinically relevant improvements in HbA1c levels at such levels that reduce the risk of diabetes complications. A search of the literature using six databases (MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Scopus) identified dietary-based, physical-activity-based and education-based interventions that aimed to manage T2DM in South Asians. Results showed that dietary and physical activity interventions (duration 3-12 months) have been effective in generating a clinically relevant decrease in HbA1c levels (≥0.5%) in South Asians with T2DM and could potentially assist in reducing diabetes complications. Education-based interventions produced small effects on glycaemic control. These outcomes support the development of comparable longer-term randomised clinical trials combining dietary and physical activity interventions with the aim to provide further evidence on specific interventions that can lower complications and ensure effective diabetes care in a high-risk population.

Dietary weight-management for type 2 diabetes remissions in South Asians: the South Asian diabetes remission randomised trial for proof-of-concept and feasibility (STANDby). THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. SOUTHEAST ASIA 2023; 9:100111. [PMID: 36777452 PMCID: PMC9904218 DOI: 10.1016/j.lansea.2022.100111] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Background We aimed to assess whether a structured weight management programme incorporating a total diet replacement (TDR) (3-5 months ∼850 kcal/day formula diet) weight loss phase is acceptable to people of South Asian ethnicity and can achieve type 2 diabetes (T2D) remissions similarly to other populations. Methods Adults of South Asian ethnicity, aged 18-65 years, with T2D for ≤4 years, and BMI 25-45 kg/m2 were recruited from primary care and social media, and randomised to commence TDR either immediately (iTDR), or delayed (dTDR) for 3-5 months as a usual care control arm during this period. Intervention effects were tested in randomised comparisons powered to detect significant weight loss, and in an expanded observational analysis to determine remission effect size, including both iTDR and dTDR groups. Acceptability in those recruited was explored by questionnaire and weight change. Trial registration Current Controlled Trials, ISRCTN10720065. Date of Registration 27/09/2017. Findings Twenty-five eligible individuals were recruited. Mean baseline (SD) age was 45.8 (11.1) years, weight 88.2 (13.7) kg, BMI 32.1 (3.8) kg/m2, HbA1c 60.4 (11.3) mmol/mol, liver fat by MRI 15.6 (9.4)%. In the RCT, mean(SD) weight change after TDR was -7.7 (7.2)% in the intervention group (n = 13), and -1.2 (1.4)% in the usual-care control group (n = 12) (p = 0.005), with T2D remission achieved by 5/13, compared to 0/12 respectively (p = 0.039). In the observational study, 23/25 started TDR and 19/23 participants completed the TDR phase. Median time spent in TDR was 105 days (IQR 77-134 days). T2D remission was achieved in 10/23 (43%), and weight changes were concordant with the RCT. Overall, 8/23 (35%) lost over 10% bodyweight. Absolute liver fat proportion near halved from 15.3% at the start of TDR to 8.6% (p < 0.001). Interpretation In UK-based South Asians, TDR-led weight loss and T2D remission rates are comparable to those observed in white cohorts, and the intervention was acceptable in most of those recruited. There is potential to further improve outcomes, but one-third lost >10% body weight, and the mechanism underpinning T2D remission appears similar, driven by weight change with loss of excess ectopic body-fat. Funding We gratefully acknowledge funding for the MRI scans from the, Miss MJM Smith Trust (registered charity: SC040586). No other external funds were provided for this trial.

Abstract
South Asians, comprising almost one fourth of the world population, are at higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and CKD compared with other ethnic groups. This has major public health implications in South Asia and in other parts of the world to where South Asians have immigrated. The interplay of various modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors confers this risk. Traditional models of cardiometabolic disease progression and CKD evaluation may not be applicable in this population with a unique genetic predisposition and phenotype. A wider understanding of dietary and lifestyle influences, genetic and metabolic risk factors, and the pitfalls of conventional equations estimating kidney function in this population are required in providing care for kidney diseases. Targeted screening of this population for metabolic and vascular risk factors and individualized management plan for disease management may be necessary. Addressing unhealthy dietary patterns, promoting physical activity, and medication management that adheres to cultural factors are crucial steps to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular disease and CKD in this population. In South Asian countries, a large rural and urban community-based multipronged approach using polypills and community health workers to decrease the incidence of these diseases may be cost-effective.

Abstract
Since early times, being overweight and obesity have been associated with impaired glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Similarly, a less frequent adult-onset diabetes in low body mass index (BMI) people has been known for many decades. This form is mainly found in developing countries, whereby the largest increase in diabetes incidence is expected in coming years. The number of non-obese patients with T2D is also on the rise among non-white ethnic minorities living in high-income Western countries due to growing migratory flows. A great deal of energy has been spent on understanding the mechanisms that bind obesity to T2D. Conversely, the pathophysiologic features and factors driving the risk of T2D development in non-obese people are still much debated. To reduce the global burden of diabetes, we need to understand why not all obese people develop T2D and not all those with T2D are obese. Moreover, through both an effective prevention and the implementation of an individualized clinical management in all people with diabetes, it is hoped that this will help to reduce this global burden. The purpose of this review is to take stock of current knowledge about the pathophysiology of diabetes not associated to obesity and to highlight which aspects are worthy of future studies.

Abstract
Tayside is a region in the East of Scotland and forms one of nine local government regions in the country. It is home to approximately 416,000 individuals who fall under the National Health Service (NHS) Tayside health board, which provides health care services to the population. In Tayside, Scotland, a comprehensive informatics network for diabetes care and research has been established for over 25 years. This has expanded more recently to a comprehensive Scotland-wide clinical care system, Scottish Care Information - Diabetes (SCI-Diabetes). This has enabled improved diabetes screening and integrated management of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiovascular health, and other comorbidities. The regional health informatics network links all of these specialized services with comprehensive laboratory testing, prescribing records, general practitioner records, and hospitalization records. Not only do patients benefit from the seamless interconnectedness of these data, but also the Tayside bioresource has enabled considerable research opportunities and the creation of biobanks. In this article we describe how health informatics has been used to improve care of people with diabetes in Tayside and Scotland and, through anonymized data linkage, our understanding of the phenotypic and genotypic etiology of diabetes and associated complications and comorbidities.

Abstract
South Asian women have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) than Nordic women; however, the mechanisms behind this difference remain unclear. We investigated insulin sensitivity, β-cell function, and hepatic insulin clearance in 179 South Asian and 108 Nordic women ∼17 months after GDM (mean age 35.3 years, BMI 29.1 kg/m2) by oral glucose tolerance test using deconvolution of C-peptide kinetics. Thirty-one percent of South Asian and 53% of Nordic participants were normoglycemic at the time of measurement. South Asian women had higher areas under the curve (AUCs) for glucose, prehepatic insulin, and peripheral insulin and lower insulin sensitivity, disposition index, and fasting hepatic insulin clearance than Nordic women. In the group with prediabetes or diabetes, South Asian women had similar AUCs for glucose and prehepatic insulin but a higher AUC for peripheral insulin, lower disposition index, and lower fasting hepatic insulin clearance than Nordic women. The waist-to-height ratio mediated ∼25-40% of the ethnic differences in insulin sensitivity in participants with normoglycemia. Overall, our novel data revealed that South Asian women with normoglycemia after GDM showed lower insulin secretion for a given insulin resistance and lower hepatic insulin clearance than Nordic women. South Asian women are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes after GDM, and preventive efforts should be prioritized.

High prevalence and significant ethnic differences in actionable HbA 1C after gestational diabetes mellitus in women living in Norway. BMC Med 2022; 20:318.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The type 2 diabetes risk after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is twice as high in South Asian compared to European women. Current guidelines differ regarding which test to use as a screening-tool post-GDM. We aimed to identify ethnic differences in the prevalence rates and early predictors for actionable HbA1c (defined as prediabetes and diabetes) short time after GDM. METHODS This cross-sectional study, enrolling South Asian and Nordic women 1-3 years after a diagnosis of GDM, was undertaken at three hospitals in Norway. We performed a clinical and laboratory evaluation including an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Medical records were used to retrieve data during pregnancy. Prediabetes was classified with HbA1c alone or combined with OGTT glucose measurements according to the WHO, WHO-IEC, and ADA criteria (fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 6.1-6.9 mmol/L, FPG 6.1-6.9 mmol/L and/or HbA1c 42-47 mmol/mol (6.0-6.4%), and FPG 5.6-6.9 mmol/L and/or HbA1c 39-47 mmol/mol (5.7-6.4%)). Ethnic differences in prevalence and predictors of glucose deterioration were assed by χ2 (Pearson) tests and logistic regression models. RESULTS We included 163 South Asian and 108 Nordic women. Actionable HbA1c levels were highly prevalent and more so among South Asian than Nordic women (WHO-IEC-HbA1c: 25.8% vs. 6.5% (p ≤ 0.001), ADA-HbA1c: 58.3% vs. 22.2% (p ≤ 0.001)). Although adding OGTT-data gave higher combined prevalence rates of prediabetes and diabetes (WHO: 65.6% vs. 47.2% (p ≤ 0.05), WHO-IEC: 70.6% vs. 47.2% (p ≤ 0.001), ADA: 87.8% vs. 65.7% (p ≤ 0.001)), the excess risk in the South Asian women was best captured by the HbA1c. Important predictors for glucose deterioration after GDM were: South Asian ethnicity, GDM before the index pregnancy, use of glucose-lowering drugs in pregnancy, higher age, and higher in-pregnancy fasting glucose levels. CONCLUSIONS In women with GDM 1-3 year previously, we found high prevalence and significant ethnic differences in actionable ADA-HbA1c levels, with South Asian ethnicity, GDM before the index pregnancy, and the use of glucose-lowering drugs in pregnancy as the most important risk factors. This study reinforces the importance of annual screening-preferably with HbA1c measurements-to facilitate early intervention after GDM.
