Abstract
Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) remains a leading complication after solid organ transplantation. Previous international PTDM consensus meetings in 2003 and 2013 provided standardized frameworks to reduce heterogeneity in diagnosis, risk stratification and management. However, the last decade has seen significant advancements in our PTDM knowledge complemented by rapidly changing treatment algorithms for management of diabetes in the general population. In view of these developments, and to ensure reduced variation in clinical practice, a 3rd international PTDM Consensus Meeting was planned and held from 6-8 May 2022 in Vienna, Austria involving global delegates with PTDM expertise to update the previous reports. This update includes opinion statements concerning optimal diagnostic tools, recognition of prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance), new mechanistic insights, immunosuppression modification, evidence-based strategies to prevent PTDM, treatment hierarchy for incorporating novel glucose-lowering agents and suggestions for the future direction of PTDM research to address unmet needs. Due to the paucity of good quality evidence, consensus meeting participants agreed that making GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) recommendations would be flawed. Although kidney-allograft centric, we suggest that these opinion statements can be appraised by the transplantation community for implementation across different solid organ transplant cohorts. Acknowledging the paucity of published literature, this report reflects consensus expert opinion. Attaining evidence is desirable to ensure establishment of optimized care for any solid organ transplant recipient at risk of, or who develops, PTDM as we strive to improve long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Background Achieving glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) targets have been shown to reduce long-term microvascular complications of diabetes; however, suboptimal glucose control is common. We tested whether glucose control could be improved within 8 weeks by employing structured blood glucose monitoring (BGM) qid in addition to seven times per day prior to visits for diabetes education and medication management that occurred every 2-4 weeks. Methods This single-center, prospective study was conducted on 78 adults with either type 1 diabetes (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D), HbA1c >8%, and serum creatinine (sCr) <2.0 mg/dl. HbA1c was checked at baseline, Week 2, Week 4, and at Week 8. Patients were evaluated by a physician and a certified diabetes educator (CDE) at baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 for treatment adjustments and lifestyle advice based on a review of BGM done qid plus 7-point profiles conducted before Weeks 2, 4, and 8. Study outcomes were change in HbA1c from baseline to Week 8 and change in mean glucose on the 7-point profile from Week 2 to Week 8. These were compared using one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Results Of the 78 patients, 64.1% had T2D, 50% were women, and 72% were Caucasian. Mean age (±SD) was 51.3.5 ± 11.1 years, and median diabetes duration was 9 (5-17) years. The percentage of patients using insulin increased from 58.9% at baseline to 67.9% at Week 8. The mean (±SD) HbA1c was 9.53% (±1.71) at baseline, declined -1.38% from baseline to week 8 (CI -1.62 to -0.14, P < 0.001). The mean (±SD) glucose on the 7-point profile was 187 (±52) mg/dl at Week 2, and 157 (±5) mg/dl at Week 8. (P < 0.01). Conclusions An intensive glucose optimization program using structured BGM qid plus 7-point profiles, diabetes education, and conventional anti-diabetic therapies was successful in reducing HbA1c by 1.38% over 8 weeks in patients with poor glucose control.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes is a frequent complication after transplantation. Moreover, patients suffering from post-transplant diabetes have increased cardiovascular morbidity and reduced survival. Pathogenesis mainly involves beta-cell dysfunction in presence of insulin resistance. Both pre- and post-transplant risk factors are well-described, and some of them may be corrected or prevented. However, the frequency of post-transplant diabetes has not decreased in recent years. We realized a critical appraisal of preventive measures to reduce post-transplant diabetes.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is one from the most common metabolic complications
after kidney transplantation. PTDM develops in the early period after transplantation.
The risk factors of PTDM are carbohydrate imbalances occurring in the patient prior to
transplantation, surgery and the inclusion of immunosuppressive treatment. Kidney transplant
patients tend to gain weight, which is associated with an increased risk of post-transplant
diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and abnormal transplanted kidney function.
Patients after kidney transplantation should be advised to adopt a lifestyle based on a proper
diet, exercise, weight control and smoking cessation. The strategy to reduce the risk factors
for PTDM development should start before transplantation and continue after kidney
transplantation. A targeted, non-pharmacological approach to patients already during the
dialysis period may have a significant impact on reducing post-transplantation diabetes.
Lifestyle interventions can effectively reduce the risk of development and inhibit the progression
of post-transplantation diabetes. The article describes elements of comprehensive
non-pharmacological management based on available knowledge of rehabilitation, dietetics
and psychology.

Abstract
Background Being overweight for kidney transplant recipients can cause serious side effects. Weight gain affects two-thirds of kidney transplant recipients and has been attributed to a more liberal diet after transplantation, recovery of appetite due to lack of uremic toxicity, corticosteroid use, and inadequate lifestyle changes. The aim of this study was to assess gender-dependent profile of body mass index (BMI) changes after kidney transplantation (KTx). Material/Methods Sixty-two kidney transplant recipients (38 males and 24 females), aged 46.0±12.8 years at KTx, were observed according to weight gain after KTx. BMI was calculated before transplantation (pre-KTx) and at 6, 12, and 24 months post-KTx. Results During the 24-month observation period, we found an increase in the incidence of kidney transplant recipients being overweight or obese (pre-KTx 43.5% increase and 24-month post-Ktx 61.3% increase, P=0.036). We analyzed a number of factors that could potentially influence a 24-month BMI gain including age at KTx, gender, pre-KTx BMI, time on dialysis, pre-KTx glucose metabolism disorder, and post-KTx diabetes mellitus. For female recipients, there was a significant step-wise post-KTx increase in BMI during the 24-month observation period. The overall pre-KTx to 24-month net increase for female BMI was 2 times greater than that observed for male recipients (1.90±2.20 kg/m2 versus 0.89±1.85 kg/m2, P<0.001). Conclusions Weight gain after KTx was observed in both sexes, but the net BMI increase was more than 2 times greater in females than in males at 24-months post-KTx. This indicated the need for diet education and strict weight control in kidney transplant recipients, especially in female patients.
