BackgroundDiabetes affects millions of people worldwide with a continued increase in incidence occurring within the pediatric population. The potential contribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to diabetes in youth remains poorly known, especially regarding type 1 diabetes (T1D), generally the most prevalent form of diabetes in youth. ObjectivesWe investigated the associations between POPs and T1D… Continue reading Associations between persistent organic pollutants and type 1 diabetes in youth

Dietary Interventions to Treat Type 2 Diabetes in Adults with a Goal of Remission: An Expert Consensus Statement from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine
Objective:The objective of this Expert Consensus Statement is to assist clinicians in achieving remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adults using diet as a primary intervention. Evidence-informed statements agreed upon by a multi-disciplinary panel of expert healthcare professionals were used. Methods:Panel members with expertise in diabetes treatment, research, and remission followed an established methodology… Continue reading Dietary Interventions to Treat Type 2 Diabetes in Adults with a Goal of Remission: An Expert Consensus Statement from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine
Favorable impact of long-term SGLT2 inhibitor for NAFLD complicated by diabetes mellitus: A 5-year follow-up study
The aim of this study was to determine the impact at 5 years of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on liver histopathology and clinical features. In this retrospective study, the histological impacts at 5 years after the start of SGLT2i in NAFLD with T2DM were… Continue reading Favorable impact of long-term SGLT2 inhibitor for NAFLD complicated by diabetes mellitus: A 5-year follow-up study
The Association of Consumption Time for Food With Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetic Patients
AimsThis study aims to investigate whether food intake time across 3 meals is associated with long-term survival among the people with diabetes. Materials and MethodsThis study included 4642 diabetic patients participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2014. Food consumed across a day including the forenoon, afternoon, and evening was… Continue reading The Association of Consumption Time for Food With Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetic Patients
Pancreatic islet cryopreservation by vitrification achieves high viability, function, recovery and clinical scalability for transplantation
Pancreatic islet transplantation can cure diabetes but requires accessible, high-quality islets in sufficient quantities. Cryopreservation could solve islet supply chain challenges by enabling quality-controlled banking and pooling of donor islets. Unfortunately, cryopreservation has not succeeded in this objective, as it must simultaneously provide high recovery, viability, function and scalability. Here, we achieve this goal in… Continue reading Pancreatic islet cryopreservation by vitrification achieves high viability, function, recovery and clinical scalability for transplantation
Visit-to-visit variability in albuminuria predicts renal function deterioration in patients with type 2 diabetes
Aims/IntroductionWe aimed to study the predictive ability of visit-to-visit variability in albuminuria for changes in renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and MethodsThe cohort study was carried out in a single medical center. In the model development cohort of 1008 subjects, we developed the albuminuria variability score (AVS) to evaluate the visit-to-visit… Continue reading Visit-to-visit variability in albuminuria predicts renal function deterioration in patients with type 2 diabetes
The influence of bright and dim light on substrate metabolism, energy expenditure and thermoregulation in insulin-resistant individuals depends on time of day
Aims/hypothesisIn our modern society, artificial light is available around the clock and most people expose themselves to electrical light and light-emissive screens during the dark period of the natural light/dark cycle. Such suboptimal lighting conditions have been associated with adverse metabolic effects, and redesigning indoor lighting conditions to mimic the natural light/dark cycle more closely… Continue reading The influence of bright and dim light on substrate metabolism, energy expenditure and thermoregulation in insulin-resistant individuals depends on time of day
Comprehensive investigations revealed consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines
Large-scale COVID-19 vaccinations are currently underway in many countries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we report, besides generation of neutralizing antibodies, consistent alterations in hemoglobin A1c, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation profiles, and renal functions in healthy volunteers after vaccination with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Similar changes had also been reported in… Continue reading Comprehensive investigations revealed consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines
Be Alert to the Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular Events after COVID-19 Vaccination
AbstractWith the global popularization of vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the reports of cases of vaccine-related adverse events are increasing gradually. The most common events are local pain at the injection site and atypical symptoms, such as fever, headache, myalgia, and general discomfort. However, a few people might develop serious cardiovascular complications, such as… Continue reading Be Alert to the Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular Events after COVID-19 Vaccination
