Enhanced renoprotective effects of combined glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes mellitus: Real-world evidence
Developing a more effective treatment for the global impact of diabetic kidney disease is crucial. This study examined the renoprotective effects of combining glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) compared to SGLT2is alone in type 2 diabetes (DM).
FOSL2 activates TGF-β1-mediated GLUT1/mTOR signaling to promote diabetic kidney disease
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of kidney failure. FOS-like antigen 2 (FOSL2) has been revealed to be increased in kidney biopsies of patients with lupus nephritis, while its association with DKD remains unsolved. This study aimed to characterize the role of FOSL2 in DKD and its mechanism.

Association between severity of diabetic complications and risk of cancer in middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes
Hyperglycemia was found to be associated with an increased risk of cancer in a general population cohort. However, it remains to be established whether the severity of diabetic complications is associated with cancer risk in patients with diabetes.
Is glucose-induced hypersecretion of glicentin after the revision surgery using Roux-en-Y gastric bypass related to improved glycemic control due to insulin hypersecretion in a type 2 diabetes patient without diabetes remission after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy?
We report case details of a morbidly obese patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who became a failure of diabetes remission after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). He had a marked improvement of hyperglycemia after the revision surgery using Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), where passage failure of a solid food intake at the gastric angle portion disappeared after the revision surgery. Interestingly, he showed improvements of insulin and a marked glicentin secretions with minor changes in glucagon related peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) secretions in the oral glucose tolerance test OGTT after the RYGB surgery compared with post-LSG. Although a marked increase in glucose-induced glicentin secretion after RYGB surgery with increased insulin secretion, further studies are needed to confirm if the increased glicentin secretion after RYGB surgery is linked to stimulation of insulin secretion.
The health-economic impact of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio testing for chronic kidney disease in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes
This analysis seeks to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio testing compared with urine protein-creatinine ratio testing and no urine testing for the identification of kidney damage in individuals with type 2 diabetes who have, or are at risk of, chronic kidney disease in Japan.
Artificial intelligence-based body composition analysis using computed tomography images predicts both prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus
We assess the efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI)-based, fully automated, volumetric body composition metrics in predicting the risk of diabetes.
Trends in prescribing sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors for individuals with type 2 diabetes with and without cardiovascular-renal disease in South Korea, 2015-2021
This study evaluates shifts in oral glucose-lowering drug prescription patterns and the adoption of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in South Korea.
Comments on "Non-classical monocytes frequency and serum vitamin D3 levels are linked to diabetic foot ulcer associated with peripheral artery disease"
Comparison of universal screening for gestational diabetes mellitus between one-step and two-step method among Thai pregnant women: A randomized control trial
To compare the prevalence of GDM and pregnancy outcomes between the one-step and two-step methods of universal screening among Thai pregnant women.
Relationship between nerve ultrasonography image and electrophysiology in diabetic polyneuropathy
This study aims to investigate the association between cross-sectional area (CSA) imaging findings of nerve ultrasound and conventional nerve conduction studies (NCS) for patients with distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) due to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Toward a cure for diabetes: iPSC and ESC-derived islet cell transplantation trials
Advancements in regenerative medicine, particularly through the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs), are garnering substantial attention as potential solutions to the limited availability of donors, leading to prolonged waiting periods for people with type 1 diabetes who require transplantation of pancreatic islets from deceased donors. The promising outcomes from recent clinical trials suggest that transplantation of iPSC- or ESC-derived islet cells could pave the way for more effective and broadly accessible treatment options. This progress holds potential not only for individuals with type 1 diabetes but may also extend to type 2 diabetes treatment in the future.
Lipid signature changes of women with gestational diabetes mellitus in response to puerperal exclusive breastfeeding
We here investigated whether lactation during puerperium could help to reverse the diabetogenic effect of gestation and further explored the lipid profiling changes upon breastfeeding.
Hepatokine leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 as a biomarker of insulin resistance, liver enzymes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in the general population
Leukocyte cell-derived chemotaxin 2 (LECT2) is an obesity-associated hepatokine that causes skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Since LECT2 is up-regulated by the inactivation of the energy sensor AMPK in the liver, we hypothesized that LECT2 has potential as a biomarker for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Therefore, we investigated whether circulating LECT2 levels are associated with insulin sensitivity, liver enzymes, and MASLD.
Gender-specific genetic influence of rs1111875 on diabetes risk: Insights from the Taiwan biobank study
This study investigates the gender-specific genetic influence of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1111875 on diabetes risk within the Taiwanese population using data from the Taiwan Biobank. Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes (T2D), is influenced by genetic factors, and the rs1111875 SNP near the hematopoietically expressed homeobox (HHEX) gene has been linked to T2D susceptibility.
A novel index for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus: Cholesterol, High density lipoprotein, and Glucose (CHG) index
Gold standard methods of type 2 diabetes mellitus are expensive and therefore not practical for large scale studies in low-income countries. We have investigated the total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and glucose (CHG) index for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus index which is derived from fasting state. In this study we aimed to compare the accuracy of with CHG index and triglycerides (TG) and glucose levels (TyG) as surrogates of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
