Endocrine 2023; 82:28-41. [PMID: 37428296 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-023-03424-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The actual global burden of Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults (LADA) remains unknown even though its prevalence is almost equal to the type 1 form of diabetes. Hence the present systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to estimate the prevalence of LADA among diabetic individuals using the studies published at global levels. METHODS A comprehensive literature revival was performed to identify articles on the prevalence of LADA published till 2023. The prevalence estimates were calculated using DerSimonian and Laird random-effects models with a heterogeneity measure by Cochrane Q and I2 statistics. Publication bias was assessed by the Doi plot and Luis Furuya-Kanamori asymmetry index (LFKindex). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The overall pooled prevalence of LADA obtained from a total of 51,725 diabetic individuals was found to be 8.9% (95%CI 7.5-10.4, P < 0.001) with a prevalence range of 2.3% in to 18.9% in United Arab Emirates and Bahrain respectively. Subgroup analysis of LADA in the context of the IDF geographic regions showed a higher prevalence in North America (13.5%), 9.5% in Middle East and North Africa, 9.4% in Africa, 9.2% in South East Asia, 8.3% in Western Pacific and the lowest prevalence of 7.0% in Europe. CONCLUSION The Meta-analysis revealed a worldwide prevalence of LADA as 8.9%, with the highest prevalence in Bahrain and the lowest in United Arab Emirates. Further, the higher prevalence in some IDF regions and the inconsistent association between socioeconomic status and LADA recommend more research in the future.

BMJ Open Diabetes Res Care 2022; 10:10/3/e002739. [PMID: 35750359 PMCID: PMC9234797 DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2021-002739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the test utilization and intraindividual changes of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA), a biomarker for autoimmune diabetes in Korean adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated longitudinally measured GADA test results to assess test utilization and intraindividual changes through a laboratory information system. RESULTS During the 3-year study period, 11 668 GADA tests were performed in 11 184 Korean adults. The overall rate of GADA positivity at initial measurement was 7.8%. Among the 11 668 test results, 871 GADA test results from 401 Korean patients (228 men and 173 women) requested by 54 hospitals were analyzed for intraindividual changes. Among these 401 patients, 80 (20.0%) had positive (≥2.0 U/mL) and 35 (8.7%) had gray zone GADA (1.0-1.9 U/mL) level at initial measurement. The prevalence of GADA-positive patients based on initial measurement was significantly different by type of medical institution. Among 80 patients with initial positive results, 5 (6.3%) experienced qualitative GADA changes during follow-up. Among the 321 patients with initially negative or gray zone GADA, 9 (2.8%) changed to GADA positive at least once during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Although most patients had stable GADA results, some exhibited qualitative changes during follow-up. This study can help to understand the variation in GADA positivity in the monitored patients.

Prevalence of diabetes-associated autoantibodies among patients presenting with type 2 diabetes and related metabolic differences. Prim Care Diabetes 2021; 15:169-174. [PMID: 32798203 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcd.2020.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To explores the prevalence of autoantibodies (zinc transporter 8 autoantibodies (ZnT8A), antibodies to insulin (IAAs), glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody (GAD65)), the relation of the type of positive autoantibody and the number of positive autoantibodies with the glycemic and lipid profile of the patients with LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) and compares it to the metabolic profile of patients presenting with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS 263 patients with T2DM were recruited for this cross-sectional study in Tehran, Iran. Data from patients included complete medical history, GAD65, ZnT8A, IAA and routine metabolic laboratory workup. Assay for autoantibodies were conducted using ELISA kits. The association between autoantibodies and glycemic and lipid profile of patients with diabetes was assessed using univariate and multivariate regression analysis. RESULTS Our study revealed that among 263 patients with T2DM, 29 (11%) cases were positive for IAAs, 9 (3.4%) for ZnT8A, and 12 (4.6%) for GAD65. Six (2.3%) of the patients had triple positive antibodies. Patients with positive results were younger, had lower body mass index (BMI), c-peptide, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL), HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. Triple antibody positivity was significantly associated with lower levels of C-Peptide, Triglycerides, FBG, and HbA1c compared to triple negative antibodies. CONCLUSION Patients with LADA positive for either of the autoantibodies (GAD65, ZnT8 and IAA) presented with worse glycemic control. Measurement of these autoantibodies can assist in discrimination of these patients and help with earlier control of glycemic profile.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although there is ample data about the prevalence of diabetes in the Middle East, little is known about the prevalence and features of autoimmune diabetes in this region. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and metabolic characteristics of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) amongst Yemeni Type 2 DM patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this cross-section study, 270 Type 2 DM patients aged 30-70 years were recruited from the National Diabetes Center, Al-Thowra Hospital, Sana'a city, during the period November 2015 to August 2016. All Type 2 DM patients were diagnosed within 5 years and who did not require insulin for a minimum of 6 months following diagnosis. Levels of glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies (GADA) were measured in all patients, and LADA was diagnosed in patients testing positive for anti-GAD antibodies. Further, biochemical analysis was carried out including fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin, and lipid profile. Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and β-cell function (HOMA-β) were calculated. RESULTS The prevalence of LADA, as defined by GADA-positive, amongst patient with Type 2 DM was 4.4%; with no significant difference in the prevalence between male (5.8%) and female (3.4%). LADA patients were younger than GADA-negative Type 2 DM. Body mass index, waist circumference, insulin and HOMA-β were significantly lower in LADA patients, whereas triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL-c and HOMA-IR were non-significantly lower with respect to Type 2 DM. In contrast, FBG and HbA1c were significantly higher in LADA patients. Moreover, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly lower in LADA as compared with Type 2 DM. Only 2 out of the 12 GADA-positive (16.7%) were on insulin treatment at the time of the study. CONCLUSION The prevalence of LADA in Yemeni Type 2 DM is lower than many of those reported in the literature, with no gender preference. Metabolic syndrome was significantly lower in LADA patients. Patients with LADA share insulin resistance with Type 2 DM but display a more severe defect in β-cell function, thus highlighting the importance of an early diagnosis of LADA, to correctly treat LADA patients, allowing safe and effective therapies.

Abstract
AIMS The aim was to investigate the frequency and characteristics of persons with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) amongst patients who had been clinically diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus (CT2DM) in a tertiary care centre. METHODOLOGY One hundred and sixty patients with CT2DM participated in this cross-sectional study following selection by systematic random sampling. Demographic data, relevant clinical history and anthropometric measurements (weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference) were taken and blood samples were obtained for analysis of fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA). The results were analysed using SPSS version 16. RESULTS Nineteen (11.9%) out of 160 persons with CT2DM were positive for GADA. 95(59.4%) of the total study population were females. The mean (SD) age, BMI, waist circumference, were 60.49 (10.37) years, 26.47 (4.80) kg/m2, 92.16 (11.50)cm respectively. Subjects with CT2DM who were GADA positive had trend towards lower mean BMI (25.64 kg/m2 vs. 26.59 kg/m2) and waist circumference (89.80 kg/m2 vs. 92.47 kg/m2) than GADA negative subjects. GADA positive subjects also had a trend showing higher mean fasting blood glucose (144 mg/dl vs. 125 mg/dl, t=2.20, p=0.14), higher mean HbA1c (7% vs. 6.1%, t=3.19, p=0.077) and a higher proportion on insulin (31.6% vs. 22%, χ2=0.07, p=0.25) when compared with GADA negative patients. CONCLUSION The prevalence of LADA amongst a subset of Nigerians with CT2DM was 11.9%. There were no distinguishing clinical features to help characterize persons with LADA. The above finding emphasizes the importance of GADA testing for appropriate classification of persons with CT2DM. Early diagnosis of LADA would help direct appropriate therapy to optimize glycaemic control.

Abstract
One of the principal components of equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) is hyperinsulinaemia combined with insulin resistance. It has long been known that hyperinsulinaemia occurs after the development of insulin resistance. But it is also known that hyperinsulinaemia itself can induce insulin resistance and obesity and might play a key role in the development of metabolic syndrome. This review focuses on the physiology of glucose and insulin metabolism and the pathophysiological mechanisms in glucose homeostasis in the horse (compared with what is already known in humans) in order to gain insight into the pathophysiological principles underlying EMS. The review summarizes new insights on the oral uptake of glucose by the gut and the enteroinsular axis, the role of diet in incretin hormone and postprandial insulin responses, the handling of glucose by the liver, muscle and fat tissue, and the production and secretion of insulin by the pancreas under healthy and disrupted glucose homeostatic conditions in horses.

[PMID: 23068107 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2012.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2012] [Revised: 07/20/2012] [Accepted: 07/23/2012] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate the long-term results of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass on excess weight loss, remission of the metabolic syndrome, and complications in Indian patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with a body mass index of 30-35 kg/m(2). The setting was a corporate hospital in Mumbai, India. METHODS The present prospective observational study was begun in January 2006. A total of 52 patients with uncontrolled T2DM and a body mass index of 30-35 kg/m(2) elected to undergo laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The duration of T2DM was 3.5-14.5 years (median 8.4). Of the 52 patients, 61.5% had hypertension and 59.6% had dyslipidemia. Remission of T2DM and other components of the metabolic syndrome were assessed. All patients were followed up for 5 years. RESULTS The median percentage of excess weight loss was 72.2% at 1 year and 67.8% at 5 years. Of the 52 patients, 84.6% had achieved euglycemia and 73.1% had achieved complete remission, 23.1% partial remission, and 3.84% no remission at 1 year. Weight regain occurred in 8 patients. They required antihypertensive drugs and statins, decreasing the complete remission rate to 57.7% and partial remission rate to 38.5% at 5 years. However, 96.2% improvement in metabolic status was found at the end of 5 years. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a safe, efficacious, and cost-effective treatment for uncontrolled T2DM in patients with a body mass index of 30-35 kg/m(2). Early-onset T2DM, better weight loss, and greater C-peptide levels were predictors of success after surgery. The improvement after surgery in hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia could help in controlling the occurrence of micro- and macrovascular complications and decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with T2DM.
