The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between dietary exposures to dioxins, dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL-PCBs) and non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (NDL-PCBs) and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.

In patients with diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, particularly below the knee, is associated with medial arterial calcification. This is a frequent and potentially serious complication, affecting all types of diabetes. In recent years, our understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical significance of medial arterial calcification has improved considerably. Here, we offer a short narrative review of the epidemiology, clinical consequences, and pathophysiology of this complication. Now that medial arterial calcification of the lower limbs is better understood, we also focus on the prospect of treatments targeting arterial calcification.

In patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors are suspected to increase the risk of amputation. "Traditional" diuretics may increase major adverse limb events (MALEs), but the evidence is weak. We studied the association between common diuretics (i.e. thiazides, loop- and potassium-sparing diuretics) and MALEs/amputations in patients with T2DM.

Perirenal fat (PRF) is an independent predictor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Previous studies speculated that PRF may promote renal dysfunction through affecting renal hemodynamics. To verify this hypothesis, we studied the relationship between PRF and renal hemodynamics in T2DM.

We aimed to investigate the medium-term associations of periodontitis and the number of missing teeth with serum lipoproteins and their plasma subfractions using follow-up data from the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-TREND).

It remains unknown whether sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) could be associated with incident cancer.

Postprandial glycemic fluctuations after gastrectomy are seen in patients with gastric cancer but, no studies have investigated the association between gastrectomy and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in gastric cancer survivors. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between gastrectomy (total or subtotal) and incident T2DM. In addition, we explored whether vitamin B12 supplementation modulates this risk among patients who have undergone total gastrectomy.

Optimal weight loss involves decreasing adipose tissue while preserving lean muscle mass. Identifying molecular mediators that preserve lean muscle mass is therefore a clinically important goal. We have shown that circulating, postprandial FGF19 levels are lower in patients with obesity and decrease further with comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and MASLD. Preclinical studies have shown that FGF15 (mouse ortholog of human FGF19) is necessary to protect against lean muscle mass loss following metabolic surgery-induced weight loss in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. We evaluated if non-surgical weight loss interventions also lead to increased systemic levels of FGF19 and whether FGF19 levels are predictive of lean muscle mass following rapid weight loss in human subjects with obesity.

It is notable that monogenic forms of diabetes are exceedingly uncommon, with only 28 genes thus far identified. Such conditions frequently result in the dysfunction of pancreatic cells responsible for insulin production. Mutation in the TRMT10A gene leads to a rare genetic disease that is associated with endocrine and metabolic disorders, including diabetes and short stature. This article presents a review of the existing literature on the subject, describing the association between TRMT10A gene mutation and diabetes. It also presents the clinical case of a young girl with type 1 diabetes and facial dysmorphia. TRMT10A gene mutation has been linked to syndromic juvenile diabetes in a manner analogous to Wolfram's syndrome. This form of diabetes, which manifests in early childhood and is associated with microcephaly, epilepsy and intellectual disability, is caused by mutations in the gene for homolog A of tRNA methyltransferase 10 (TRMT10A). This emphasizes the importance of using a targeted panel to recognize previously unidentified monogenic diabetes among early-onset non-insulin-dependent diabetes in the absence of obesity and autoimmunity. In view of the aforementioned data, it is recommended that TRMT10A sequencing be considered in children or adults with early-onset diabetes and a history of intellectual disability, microcephaly and epilepsy.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) are commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Various adverse reactions have been gradually reported. This case presents a rare phenomenon in which a GLP1-RA caused a marked elevation in carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA 19-9) without evidence of a tumor.

To investigate the association between hemoglobin (Hb) levels and incident diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

To evaluate whether the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors which have shown potential neuroprotective effects, is associated with lower risk of dementia in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and comorbid mental disorders, who are considerably more susceptible to dementia.

Although insulin resistance (IR) has been recognized to be a causal component in various diseases, current information on the relationship between IR and long-term mortality in the general population is limited and conclusions varied among different IR indicators and different populations. We aimed to assess associations between different measurements of IR with long-term all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality risk for the general population.

Bariatric surgery is highly effective for the treatment of obesity in individuals without (OB) and in those with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, whether bariatric surgery triggers similar or distinct molecular changes in OB and T2D remains unknown. Given that individuals with type 2 diabetes often exhibit more severe metabolic deterioration, we hypothesized that bariatric surgery induces distinct molecular adaptations in skeletal muscle, the major site of glucose uptake, of OB and T2D after surgery-induced weight loss.

We aimed to assess the clinical effects of dietary education intervention utilizing the nudge strategy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

To evaluate the impact of onset time, duration, and severity of various types of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) on the risk of incident DM.

The objective of this study was to assess overall and segmented trends in the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents younger than 20 years, from 2002 to 2022.

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I) have been suggested to reduce new-onset cancer amongst type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. This study aims to compare the risks of prostate cancer between SGLT2I and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4I) amongst T2DM patients.

As people with type 1 diabetes have increased risk of cardiovascular morbi-mortality, management of cardiovascular risk factors is of crucial importance. We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) target achievement in patients with type 1 diabetes at high and very-high cardiovascular risk.
