The quantity and quality of food intake have been considered crucial for peoples' wellness. Only recently has it become appreciated that the timing of food intake is also critical. Nondipping blood pressure (BP) is prevalent in diabetic patients and is associated with increased cardiovascular events. However, the causes and mechanisms of nondipping BP in diabetes… Continue reading #Time-restricted feeding protects the blood #pressure circadian rhythm in #diabetic mice

Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Abdominal #Obesity and Diabetic #Kidney Disease in Type 2 #Diabetic Patients
The meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association of visceral fat area (VFA), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-height ratio (WHtR) with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Included studies were searched from Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library before July 2020. We synthesized the pooled results of the above… Continue reading Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Abdominal #Obesity and Diabetic #Kidney Disease in Type 2 #Diabetic Patients
Number of #teeth and masticatory function are associated with #sarcopenia and #diabetes mellitus status among community-dwelling older adults: A Shimane CoHRE study
We aimed to examine the number of teeth and masticatory function as oral health indices and clarify their roles in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia and diabetes mellitus in community-dwelling older adults. Subjects and methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 635 older adults in Ohnan, Shimane Prefecture, in rural Japan. The number of teeth and masticatory… Continue reading Number of #teeth and masticatory function are associated with #sarcopenia and #diabetes mellitus status among community-dwelling older adults: A Shimane CoHRE study
Associations Between #Fruit Intake and Risk of #Diabetes in the AusDiab Cohort
Fruit, but not fruit juice, intake is inversely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, questions remain about the mechanisms by which fruits may confer protection. ObjectiveThe aims of this work were to examine associations between intake of fruit types and 1) measures of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and 2) diabetes at follow-up.… Continue reading Associations Between #Fruit Intake and Risk of #Diabetes in the AusDiab Cohort
#Antihypertensive medication needs and blood pressure control with weight loss in the #Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT)
Our aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a planned therapeutic withdrawal of all antihypertensive and diuretic medications, on commencing a formula low-energy diet replacement, targeting remission of type 2 diabetes. MethodsPost hoc analysis of changes in BP, antihypertensive medication prescriptions and symptoms during the initial total diet replacement phase was performed in… Continue reading #Antihypertensive medication needs and blood pressure control with weight loss in the #Diabetes Remission Clinical Trial (DiRECT)
A Randomized, Open-Label Comparison of Once-Weekly #Insulin Icodec Titration Strategies Versus Once-Daily Insulin Glargine U100
Insulin icodec is a novel once-weekly basal insulin analog. This trial investigated the efficacy and safety of icodec using different once-weekly titration algorithms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a phase 2, randomized, open-label, 16-week, treat-to-target study. Insulin-naïve adults (n = 205) with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c 7–10% while treated with oral glucose-lowering medications… Continue reading A Randomized, Open-Label Comparison of Once-Weekly #Insulin Icodec Titration Strategies Versus Once-Daily Insulin Glargine U100
VPS39-deficiency observed in type 2 #diabetes impairs #muscle stem cell differentiation via altered autophagy and epigenetics
Insulin resistance and lower muscle quality (strength divided by mass) are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we explore whether alterations in muscle stem cells (myoblasts) from individuals with T2D contribute to these phenotypes. We identify VPS39 as an important regulator of myoblast differentiation and muscle glucose uptake, and VPS39 is downregulated in myoblasts… Continue reading VPS39-deficiency observed in type 2 #diabetes impairs #muscle stem cell differentiation via altered autophagy and epigenetics
Association of Type 2 #Diabetes Mellitus and Glycemic Control With Intracranial Plaque Characteristics in Patients With Acute Ischemic #Stroke
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has shown to be associated with carotid plaque vulnerability. However, the impact of T2DM on intracranial artery atherosclerosis is not well‐understood. Purpose To evaluate the association of diabetes and glycemic control with intracranial atherosclerotic plaque characteristics identified by three‐dimensional contrast enhanced MR vessel wall imaging in patients after acute ischemic… Continue reading Association of Type 2 #Diabetes Mellitus and Glycemic Control With Intracranial Plaque Characteristics in Patients With Acute Ischemic #Stroke
#Semaglutide 2·4 mg once a week in adults with #overweight or #obesity, and type 2 diabetes (STEP 2): a randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial
Background This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of the GLP-1 analogue once a week subcutaneous semaglutide 2·4 mg versus semaglutide 1·0 mg (the dose approved for diabetes treatment) and placebo for weight management in adults with overweight or obesity, and type 2 diabetes. Methods This double-blind, double-dummy, phase 3, superiority study enrolled adults with… Continue reading #Semaglutide 2·4 mg once a week in adults with #overweight or #obesity, and type 2 diabetes (STEP 2): a randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial
