Abstract
As an oral antidiabetic agent, dichloroacetate (DCA) has been proven to improve diabetes and related complications. However, its functional role in diabetic cataract (DC) remains to be elucidated. This study was to define the role of DCA and its underlying molecular mechanism in DC in vitro and in vivo. In this study, it was shown that DCA dose-dependently ameliorated DC formation and development in DM rats. In addition, DCA significantly increased cell viability, reduced apoptosis, and inhibited EMT and oxidative stress of high glucose (HG)-treated SRA-01/04 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Besides, it was revealed that Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) expression was upregulated in lenses of DM rats and HG-treated SRA-01/04 cells, which was reversed by DCA. In addition, DCA abrogated the activation of the p38 MAPK signaling in the lenses of DM rats and HG-treated SRA-01/04 cells. Further experiments showed that IDO1 upregulation activated the p38 MAPK signaling in HG-challenged SRA-01/04 cells. Moreover, IDO1 overexpression partially reversed DCA-mediated inactivation of p38 MAPK signaling and suppression of HG-induced damage to SRA-01/04 cells. To sum up, our findings showed that DCA prevented DC-related apoptosis, EMT, and oxidative stress via inactivating IDO1-dependent p38 MAPK signaling.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relative hazards of acute and chronic diabetes complications among people with diabetes across the U.S. rural-urban continuum. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used the OptumLabs Data Warehouse, a deidentified data set of U.S. commercial and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries, to follow 2,901,563 adults (age ≥18 years) with diabetes between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2021. We compared adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of diabetes complications in remote areas (population <2,500), small towns (population 2,500-50,000), and cities (population >50,000). RESULTS Compared with residents of cities, residents of remote areas had greater hazards of myocardial infarction (HR 1.06 [95% CI 1.02-1.10]) and revascularization (HR 1.04 [1.02-1.06]) but lower hazards of hyperglycemia (HR 0.90 [0.83-0.98]) and stroke (HR 0.91 [0.88-0.95]). Compared with cities, residents of small towns had greater hazards of hyperglycemia (HR 1.06 [1.02-1.10]), hypoglycemia (HR 1.15 [1.12-1.18]), end-stage kidney disease (HR 1.04 [1.03-1.06]), myocardial infarction (HR 1.10 [1.08-1.12]), heart failure (HR 1.05 [1.03-1.06]), amputation (HR 1.05 [1.02-1.09]), other lower-extremity complications (HR 1.02 [1.01-1.03]), and revascularization (HR 1.05 [1.04-1.06]) but a smaller hazard of stroke (HR 0.95 [0.94-0.97]). Compared with small towns, residents of remote areas had lower hazards of hyperglycemia (HR 0.85 [0.78-0.93]), hypoglycemia (HR 0.92 [0.87-0.97]), and heart failure (HR 0.94 [0.91-0.97]). Hazards of retinopathy and atrial fibrillation/flutter did not vary geographically. CONCLUSIONS Adults in small towns are disproportionately impacted by complications of diabetes. Future studies should probe for the reasons underlying these disparities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and limited hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels examination are a burden in community hospitals in Thailand. The nomogram from the patients' information might be a practical solution to identify a high-risk group of diabetic complications. Thus, this study aimed to establish an effective prognostic nomogram for patients with uncontrolled T2DM. METHODS Sequential nationwide cross-sectional studies of T2DM patients in 2018 and 2015 were utilized for development and validation groups, respectively, with this chronological order aiming to capture recent trends during development and assess the nomogram's robustness across diverse timeframes. The predictive outcome was uncontrolled T2DM, defined as HbA1c ≥9%. The model was determined by multivariable regression analysis and established an effective prognostic nomogram. The receiver operating characteristic curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. RESULTS In 2018, 24% of the 38,568 participants in the development group had uncontrolled T2DM (defined as Hba1c ≥9%). The predictive nomogram of uncontrolled diabetes consisted of demographic characteristics, prescription medications, history of diabetic complications, and laboratory results (C-statistic of 0.77). The goodness of fit test and DCA showed good agreement between the result and clinical application for T2DM. CONCLUSION The predictive nomogram demonstrates simplicity, accuracy, and valuable prediction to enhance diabetic care in resource-limited countries, including Thailand.

Abstract
Diabetes complications are associated with aldose reductase (AR) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Using bioassay-guided isolation by column chromatography, 10 flavonoids and one coumarin were isolated from Poncirus trifoliata Rafin and tested in vitro for an inhibitory effect against human recombinant AR (HRAR) and rat lens AR (RLAR). Prunin, narirutin, and naringin inhibited RLAR (IC50 0.48-2.84 μM) and HRAR (IC50 0.68-4.88 μM). Docking simulations predicted negative binding energies and interactions with the RLAR and HRAR binding pocket residues. Prunin (0.1 and 12.5 μM) prevented the formation of fluorescent AGEs and nonfluorescent Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML), as well as the fructose-glucose-mediated protein glycation and oxidation of human serum albumin (HSA). Prunin suppressed the formation of the β-cross-amyloid structure of HSA. These results indicate that prunin inhibits oxidation-dependent protein damage, AGE formation, and AR, which may help prevent diabetes complications.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are a serious complication of diabetes and often result in limb amputations and confer high mortality rates. The proinflammatory secretome in the wound perpetuates defective neovascularization and contributes to dysregulated tissue repair. This study aims to design a gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA) hydrogel to sustained the release of grancalcin-neutralizing antibody (GCA-NAb) and evaluate it as a potential scaffold to promote diabetic wound healing. Results show that the expression of grancalcin(GCA), a protein secreted by bone marrow-derived immune cells, is elevated in the wound sites of individuals and animals with diabetic ulcers. Genetic inhibition of grancalcin expression accelerates vascularization and healing in an animal model. Mechanistic studies show that grancalcin binds to transient receptor potential melastatin 8(TRPM8) and partially inactivates its downstream signaling pathways, thereby impairing angiogenesis in vitro and ex vivo. Systemic or topical administration of a GCA-NAb accelerate wound repair in mice with diabetes. The data suggest that GCA is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
AIMS To assess diabetes-related complications, glycemic levels, and healthcare utilization 12 months after exposure to therapeutic inertia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium (electronic health records from Florida practices/clinics). The cohort included adult patients (≥18 years old) with T2D who had an HbA1c≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol) recorded from January 1, 2014-September 30, 2019. Therapeutic inertia (exposed vs. not exposed) was evaluated during the six months following HbA1c≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol). The outcomes assessed during the 12-month follow-up period included diabetes-related complications (continuous Diabetes Complications and Severity Index (DCSI)), glycemic levels (continuous follow-up HbA1c lab), and healthcare utilization counts. We analyzed data using multivariable regression models, adjusting for covariates. RESULTS The cohort included 26,881 patients with T2D (58.94% White race, 49.72% female, and mean age of 58.82 (SD=13.09)). After adjusting for covariates, therapeutic inertia exposure was associated with lower DCSI (estimate=-0.14 (SE=0.03), p < 0.001), higher follow-up HbA1c (estimate=0.14 (SE=0.04), p < 0.001), and lower rates of ambulatory visits (rate ratio=0.79, 95% CI=0.75-0.82). CONCLUSIONS Findings communicate the clinical practice implications and public health implications for combating therapeutic inertia in diabetes care.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Type 2 diabetes is a highly heterogeneous disease for which new subgroups ('clusters') have been proposed based on disease severity: moderate age-related diabetes (MARD), moderate obesity-related diabetes (MOD), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD) and severe insulin-resistant diabetes (SIRD). It is unknown how disease severity is reflected in terms of quality of life in these clusters. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the cluster characteristics and cluster-wise evolution of quality of life in the previously defined clusters of type 2 diabetes. METHODS We included individuals with type 2 diabetes from the Maastricht Study, who were allocated to clusters based on a nearest centroid approach. We used logistic regression to evaluate the cluster-wise association with diabetes-related complications. We plotted the evolution of HbA1c levels over time and used Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression to evaluate the cluster-wise time to reach adequate glycaemic control. Quality of life based on the Short Form 36 (SF-36) was also plotted over time and adjusted for age and sex using generalised estimating equations. The follow-up time was 7 years. Analyses were performed separately for people with newly diagnosed and already diagnosed type 2 diabetes. RESULTS We included 127 newly diagnosed and 585 already diagnosed individuals. Already diagnosed people in the SIDD cluster were less likely to reach glycaemic control than people in the other clusters, with an HR compared with MARD of 0.31 (95% CI 0.22, 0.43). There were few differences in the mental component score of the SF-36 in both newly and already diagnosed individuals. In both groups, the MARD cluster had a higher physical component score of the SF-36 than the other clusters, and the MOD cluster scored similarly to the SIDD and SIRD clusters. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Disease severity suggested by the clusters of type 2 diabetes is not entirely reflected in quality of life. In particular, the MOD cluster does not appear to be moderate in terms of quality of life. Use of the suggested cluster names in practice should be carefully considered, as the non-neutral nomenclature may affect disease perception in individuals with type 2 diabetes and their healthcare providers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires lifelong management and care, affecting around 422 million people worldwide and roughly 37 million in the United States. Patients newly diagnosed with diabetes must work with health care providers to formulate a management plan, including lifestyle modifications and regular office visits, to improve metabolic control, prevent or delay complications, optimize quality of life, and promote well-being. OBJECTIVE Our aim is to investigate one component of system-wide access to timely health care for people with diabetes in New York City (NYC), namely the length of time for someone with newly diagnosed diabetes to obtain an appointment with 3 diabetes care specialists: a cardiologist, an endocrinologist, and an ophthalmologist, respectively. METHODS We contacted the offices of 3 different kinds of specialists: cardiologists, endocrinologists, and ophthalmologists, by telephone, for this descriptive cross-sectional study, to determine the number of days required to schedule an appointment for a new patient with diabetes. The sampling frame included all specialists affiliated with any private or public hospital in NYC. The number of days to obtain an appointment with each specialist was documented, along with "time on hold" when attempting to schedule an appointment and the presence of online booking capabilities. RESULTS Of the 1639 unique physicians affiliated with (private and public) hospitals in the 3 subspecialties, 1032 (cardiologists, endocrinologists, and ophthalmologists) were in active practice and did not require a referral. The mean wait time for scheduling an appointment was 36 (SD 36.4; IQR 12-51.5) days for cardiologists; 82 (SD 47; IQR 56-101) days for endocrinologists; and 50.4 (SD 56; IQR 10-72) days for ophthalmologists. The median wait time was 27 days for cardiologists, 72 days for endocrinologists, and 30 days for ophthalmologists. The mean time on hold while attempting to schedule an appointment with these specialists was 2.6 (SD 5.5) minutes for cardiologists, 5.4 (SD 4.3) minutes for endocrinologists, and 3.2 (SD 4.8) minutes for ophthalmologists, respectively. Over 46% (158/341) of cardiologists enabled patients to schedule an appointment on the web, and over 55% (128/228) of endocrinologists enabled patients to schedule an appointment on the web. In contrast, only approximately 25% (117/463) of ophthalmologists offered web-based appointment scheduling options. CONCLUSIONS The results indicate considerable variation in wait times between and within the 3 specialties examined for a new patient in NYC. Given the paucity of research on wait times for newly diagnosed people with diabetes to obtain an appointment with different specialists, this study provides preliminary estimates that can serve as an initial reference. Additional research is needed to document the extent to which wait times are associated with complications and the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of people served by different providers.

Abstract
Diabetes, a severe metabolic disease characterized by chronic hypoglycemia, poses debilitating and life-threatening risks of microvascular and macrovascular complications, including blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, and limb amputation. Addressing these complications is paramount, urging the development of interventions targeting diabetes-associated vascular dysfunctions. To effectively combat diabetes, a comprehensive understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying complications and identification of precise therapeutic targets are imperative. Transglutaminase 2 (TGase2) is a multifunctional enzyme implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, fibrosis, and inflammatory conditions. TGase2 has recently emerged as a key player in both the pathogenesis and therapeutic intervention of diabetic complications. This review highlights TGase2 as a therapeutic target for diabetic complications and explores TGase2 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach in their treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic angiogenesis is closely associated with disabilities and death caused by diabetic microvascular complications. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are abnormally accumulated in diabetic patients and are a key pathogenic factor for diabetic angiogenesis. The present study focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying diabetic angiogenesis and identifying therapeutic targets based on these mechanisms. METHODS In this study, AGE-induced angiogenesis serves as a model to investigate the mechanisms underlying diabetic angiogensis. Mouse aortic rings, matrigel plugs, and HUVECs or 293T cells were employed as research objects to explore this pathological process by using transcriptomics, gene promoter reporter assays, virtual screening and so on. RESULTS Here, we found that AGEs activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and enhanced the β-catenin protein level by affecting the expression of β-catenin degradation-related genes, such as FZDs (Frizzled receptors), LRPs (LDL Receptor Related Proteins), and AXIN1. AGEs could also mediate β-catenin Y142 phosphorylation through VEGFR1 isoform5. These dual effects of AGEs elevated the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and sequentially induced the expression of KDR (Kinase Insert Domain Receptor) and HDAC9 (Histone Deacetylase 9) by POU5F1 and NANOG, respectively, thus mediating angiogenesis. Finally, through virtual screening, Bioymifi, an inhibitor that blocks VEGFR1 isoform5-β-catenin complex interaction and alleviates AGE-induced angiogenesis, was identified. CONCLUSION Collectively, this study offers insight into the pathophysiological functions of β-catenin in diabetic angiogenesis.

Abstract
The effect of diabetes distress on glycemic control and its association with diabetes complications is still poorly understood. We aimed to study the clinical features of patients with high diabetes distress, focusing on changes in glycemic control and risk of diabetic complications. From the Korean National Diabetes Program data, we investigated 1862 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who completed diabetic complication studies and the Korean version of the Problem Areas in Diabetes Survey (PAID-K). A total score of PAID-K ≥ 40 was considered indicative of high distress. Individuals with high distress (n = 589) had significantly higher levels of glycated hemoglobin than those without distress (7.4% vs. 7.1%, p < 0.001). This trend persisted throughout the 3-year follow-up period. Higher PAID-K scores were associated with younger age, female gender, longer duration of diabetes, and higher carbohydrate intake (all p < 0.05). There was a significant association between high distress and diabetic neuropathy (adjusted odds ratio, 1.63; p = 0.002), but no significant association was found with other complications, including retinopathy, albuminuria, and carotid artery plaque. In conclusion, high diabetes distress was associated with uncontrolled hyperglycemia and higher odds of having diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to determine the extent of non-adherence to the different dimensions of diabetes self-management and to identify the factors influencing non-adherence among peripheral patients in Bangladesh. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 990 adult diabetic patients residing in Thakurgaon district, Bangladesh. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews including socio-demographic information, disease and therapeutic, health services, knowledge and adherence to self-management components. RESULTS The proportion of non-adherence to drug prescription was 66.7%, dietary regimen (68.9%), physical exercise (58.0%), follow-up visit/blood glucose test (88.2%), stopping tobacco (50.6%), and regular foot care (93.9%). Significant predictors for non-adherence to drug were poorest socio-economic status (OR = 2.47), absence of diabetic complications (OR = 1.43), using non-clinical therapy (OR = 5.61), and moderate level of knowledge (OR = 1.87). Non-adherence to dietary recommendations was higher for women (OR = 1.72), poorest socio-economic status (OR = 3.17), and poor technical knowledge (OR = 4.68). Non-adherence to physical exercise was lower for women (OR = 0.62), combined family (OR = 0.63), middle socio-economic status (OR = 0.54), and moderate knowledge on physical exercise (OR = 0.55). Non-adherence to follow-up visits/blood glucose test was higher among patients who did not have diabetic complications (OR = 1.81) and with own transport (OR = 2.57), and respondents from high-income group (OR = 0.23) were less likely to be non-adherent. Non-adherence to stopping tobacco was higher for older individuals (OR = 1.86); but lower for women (OR = 0.48), individuals with higher education level (OR = 0.17) and patients sick for a longer time (OR = 0.52). Non-adherence to foot care was higher for patients who needed longer time to go to hospital (OR = 4.07) and had poor basic knowledge on diabetes (OR = 17.80). CONCLUSION An alarmingly high proportion of diabetic patients did not adhere to diabetes self-management. Major predictors for non-adherence were related to patient's demographic characteristics and their experience with disease, treatment and health care services.

Abstract
This research is an attempt to investigate the benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2I) use in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) for outcomes of sepsis/septic shock. We used Taiwan's national data set to identify patients and patients' characteristics to investigate sepsis/septic shock among diabetes patients who use SGLT2I compared to those who do not. We have compared the two groups for several relevant categories of potential risk factors for sepsis/septic shock and adjusted the Cox regression models accordingly. The adapted diabetes complications severity index (DCSI) was used for stratifying the advancing disease of DM. Compared to patients with DCSI = 0, patients with DCSI ≥ 2 had a significantly higher risk of sepsis/septic shock (adjusted HR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.37-1.68). A significantly lower risk of sepsis/septic shock events was observed in the SGLT2I cohort than in the non-SGLT2I cohort with the DCSI groups [adjusted HR = 0.6 (DCSI group = 0), adjusted HR = 0.61 (DCSI group = 1), adjusted HR = 0.55 (DCSI group ≥ 2)]. Patients who received SGLT2I for a cumulative duration of ≥ 90 days had a significantly lower risk of sepsis/septic shock than patients with a duration of < 90 days (adjusted HR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.34-0.39). We described a decreased risk of sepsis/septic shock among diabetic patients who took SGLT2I.

Abstract
In the present study, the efficiency of two formulations of maggot therapy: free-range larvae on the wounds and larvae in a special bag (larval-bag), was compared for healing diabetic ulcers with Wagner 2 diabetic ulcer. This study was conducted as a parallel randomized clinical trial. Out of 281 patients with Wagner grade 2 diabetic ulcers referred to the wound clinic, 54 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to intervention groups. The disinfected larvae of Lucilia sericata were put on the wounds with 2 methods, free-range larvae and larval-bag. Follow up was done at every 48 h interval until the full appearance of granulated tissues. The main measures were wound bed preparation, removing of necrotic tissues, appearing of granulated tissues, and removing of bacterial infections in the wounds. Statistical analysis based on the Kaplan-Meier curve and the Wilcoxon (Breslow) test showed a significant reduction in wound healing time by using free-range larvae in comparison with larval-bag (P = .03). The median time to debridement was 4 days in the free-range larval group (95% confidence interval: 3-9 days) while it was 9 days in the larval-bag group (95% confidence interval: 5-16 days). Debridement rate (proportion of removed necrotic tissue surfaces) at any time in the free-ranged larvae group was 1.78 times that of the bagged larvae group (95% confidence interval 1.01-3.15, P = .036). There was no significant difference between free-range larval use and larval-bag in the acceptability of maggot therapy by patients (P = .48). It can be concluded that both of two formulations of the larval therapy (free-range larvae and larval-bag) could be recommended for cleaning out and bed preparation of diabetic ulcers. However, using free-range larvae is hardly recommended on the wounds which are eligible to use.

Abstract
In diabetes hyperglycemia, excessive production of free radicals and present oxidative stress lead to many complications in the body, including male reproductive system disorders. To prevent the development of diabetic complications in the testes resulting from them, it seems beneficial to include compounds considered as natural antioxidants. Honokiol and magnolol are neolignans obtained from magnolia bark, which possess proven antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of honokiol and magnolol on the parameters of oxidative stress, polyol pathway and glycation products in the testes as well as on selected biochemical parameters in the blood serum of rats with type 2 diabetes. The study was conducted on mature male Wistar rats with high fat diet and streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes. Neolignans-treated rats received honokiol or magnolol orally at the doses of 5 or 25 mg/kg, respectively, for 4 weeks. Parameters related to glucose and lipid homeostasis, basic serological parameters and sex hormones level in the serum as well as polyol pathway parameters, antioxidant enzyme activity, endogenous antioxidants level, sumaric parameters for oxidative stress and oxidative damage in the testes were estimated. Oral administration of honokiol and magnolol turned out to be beneficial in combating the effects of oxidative stess in the testes, but showed no favorable effects on serum biochemical parameters. Additionally, magnolol compared to honokiol revealed more advantageous impact indicating the reversal of the effects of diabetic complications in the male reproductive system and counteracted oxidative stress damages and polyol pathway disorders in the testes.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has revealed the emerging role of ferroptosis in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been demonstrated to facilitate the healing of T2DM ulcers. However, the mechanism by which PRP repairs T2DM ulcers remains unclear. Here, we sought to investigate the interaction between PRP and ferroptosis in repairing T2DM ulcers. The results showed that the cellular activity, proliferation, and migration of fibroblasts were down-regulated, and the cellular activity and normal function of vascular endothelial cells were impaired in the high glucose environment or under RSL3 conditions (a GSH peroxidase 4 inhibitor and ferroptosis inducer). Additionally, both cells experienced over-activation of multiple forms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. In the T2DM rat model, we observed a decreased rate of ulcer wound healing, impaired proliferative capacity, diminished vascular regeneration, and marked inflammation and hyperfibrosis. More importantly, there was typical damage to mitochondria, increased levels of iron ions, and consistent alterations in protein expression of ferroptosis-related factors. These factors include cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), transferrin receptor (TFRC), and Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11), among others. Due to the strong association between ferroptosis and T2DM ulcers, the use of allogeneic platelet-rich plasma (Al-PRP) exhibited physiological effects similar to those of the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). In vivo experiments, both drugs inhibited a range of impediments to wound healing caused by T2DM and ameliorated the adverse effects associated with ferroptosis. Moreover, Al-PRP attenuated the impairment of normal cellular function, activation of ROS and lipid peroxidation induced by high glucose or RSL3. These results suggested that ferroptosis was involved in the development of T2DM ulcers, which could be treated with Al-PRP by inhibiting ferroptosis, and inhibition of ferroptosis may be a suitable treatment strategy for T2DM ulcers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are growing health concerns. Since 2005, Student Health Service (SHS) and Hong Kong Paediatric Society formulated a protocol on urine glucose screening (UGS) for early diagnosis of T2DM in students with obesity in Hong Kong. This study reviews students with T2DM captured by this screening program and compare the data with the Hong Kong Children Diabetes Registry (HKCDR) database, to see if the UGS program facilitates early diagnosis of T2DM. METHODS Students between the ages of 10-18 years old with age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) >97th percentile who attended SHS between the school years from 2005/06 to 2017/18 were recruited for UGS. Those tested positive for random urine glucose underwent diagnostic testing for T2DM according to ADA guidelines. Demographic data and investigatory results from UGS and HKCDR within the same time period were compared. RESULTS A total of 216,526 students completed UGS in the said period; 415 (0.19 %) students were tested positive for urine glucose of which 121 students were diagnosed with T2DM. UGS picked up 23 % of the newly diagnosed T2DM cases. When compared to the HKCDR database, students diagnosed via UGS were significantly younger, less obese, and had fewer diabetic related complications. The negative predictive value of UGS is high and can effectively rule out T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Urine glucose screening is an inexpensive and simple test that allows for early diagnosis of T2DM among obese school students. Other methods including POCT HbA1c can be explored to improve program effectiveness.

Abstract
AIMS To analyze if midterm improvement in diabetes distress can be explained by resilience, diabetes acceptance, and patient characteristics. METHODS N = 179 adults with type 1 diabetes were enrolled during their stay at a tertiary diabetes center (monocentric enrolment) and followed up over three months in a prospective, observational study ('DIA-LINK1'). Improvement in diabetes distress was assessed as reduction in the Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale score from baseline to follow-up. Resilience (Resilience Scale-13), acceptance (Diabetes Acceptance Scale), and patient characteristics were analyzed as predictors of improvement in diabetes distress using hierarchical multiple regression. RESULTS Greater reductions in diabetes distress were significantly explained by lower diabetes acceptance at baseline (β = -0.34, p < 0.01), while resilience, diabetes complications, and other person-related variables were not significantly related to changes in diabetes distress (all p > 0.05). When change in diabetes acceptance from baseline to follow-up was added to the model, improved diabetes distress was explained by increasing diabetes acceptance (β = 0.41, p < 0.01) and a shorter duration of diabetes (β = -0.18, p = 0.03), while baseline diabetes acceptance was no longer significantly associated (β = -0.14, p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes acceptance is inversely related to diabetes distress, and increasing acceptance explained greater improvement in diabetes distress. These findings suggest that increasing diabetes acceptance may facilitate the reduction of diabetes distress. Treatment approaches targeting acceptance might be useful for the mental healthcare of people with type 1 diabetes and clinically elevated diabetes distress.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) modification has been reported to have roles in modulating the development of diabetic cataract (DC). Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) is a critical m6 A methyltransferase involving in m6 A modification activation. Here, we aimed to explore the action and mechanism of METTL3-mediated maturation of miR-4654 in DC progression. Human lens epithelial cells (HLECs) were exposed to high glucose (HG) to imitate DC condition in vitro. Levels of genes and proteins were tested via qRT-PCR and western blotting assays. The proliferation and apoptosis of HLECs were evaluated by cell counting kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Oxidative stress was analyzed by detecting the contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA). The binding of miR-4654 and SOD2 was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The m6 A-RNA immunoprecipitation (MeRIP) assay detected the m6 A modification profile. Thereafter, we found that miR-4654 expression was elevated in DC samples and HG-induced HLECs. MiR-4654 knockdown reversed HG-mediated apoptosis and oxidative stress in HLECs. Mechanistically, miR-4654 directly targeted SOD2, silencing of SOD2 abolished the protective effects of miR-4654 knockdown on HLECs under HG condition. In addition, METTL3 induced miR-4654 maturation through promoting pri-miR-4654 m6 A modification, thereby increasing miR-4654 content in HLECs. METTL3 was highly expressed in DC samples and HG-induced HLECs, METTL3 deficiency protected HLECs against HG-mediated apoptotic and oxidative injury via down-regulating miR-4654. In all, METTL3 induced miR-4654 maturation in a m6 A-dependent manner, which was then reduced SOD2 expression, thus promoting apoptosis and oxidative stress in HLECs, suggesting a novel path for DC therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterogeneity in type 2 diabetes can be represented by a tree-like graph structure by use of reversed graph-embedded dimensionality reduction. We aimed to examine whether this approach can be used to stratify key pathophysiological components and diabetes-related complications during longitudinal follow-up of individuals with recent-onset type 2 diabetes. METHODS For this cohort analysis, 927 participants aged 18-69 years from the German Diabetes Study (GDS) with recent-onset type 2 diabetes were mapped onto a previously developed two-dimensional tree based on nine simple clinical and laboratory variables, residualised for age and sex. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by a hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp, insulin secretion was assessed by intravenous glucose tolerance test, hepatic lipid content was assessed by 1 H magnetic resonance spectroscopy, serum interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-18 were assessed by ELISA, and peripheral and autonomic neuropathy were assessed by functional and clinical measures. Participants were followed up for up to 16 years. We also investigated heart failure and all-cause mortality in 794 individuals with type 2 diabetes undergoing invasive coronary diagnostics from the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) cohort. FINDINGS There were gradients of clamp-measured insulin sensitivity (both dimensions: p<0·0001) and insulin secretion (pdim1<0·0001, pdim2=0·00097) across the tree. Individuals in the region with the lowest insulin sensitivity had the highest hepatic lipid content (n=205, pdim1<0·0001, pdim2=0·037), pro-inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6: n=348, pdim1<0·0001, pdim2=0·013; IL-18: n=350, pdim1<0·0001, pdim2=0·38), and elevated cardiovascular risk (nevents=143, pdim1=0·14, pdim2<0·00081), whereas individuals positioned in the branch with the lowest insulin secretion were more prone to require insulin therapy (nevents=85, pdim1=0·032, pdim2=0·12) and had the highest risk of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (nevents=184, pdim1=0·012, pdim2=0·044) and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (nevents=118, pdim1=0·0094, pdim2=0·06). In the LURIC cohort, all-cause mortality was highest in the tree branch showing insulin resistance (nevents=488, pdim1=0·12, pdim2=0·0032). Significant gradients differentiated individuals having heart failure with preserved ejection fraction from those who had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. INTERPRETATION These data define the pathophysiological underpinnings of the tree structure, which has the potential to stratify diabetes-related complications on the basis of routinely available variables and thereby expand the toolbox of precision diabetes diagnosis.

Abstract
Ketone bodies have a negative image because of ketoacidosis, one of the acute and serious complications in diabetes. The negative image persists despite the fact that ketone bodies are physiologically produced in the liver and serve as an indispensable energy source in extrahepatic organs, particularly during long-term fasting. However, accumulating experimental evidence suggests that ketone bodies exert various health benefits. Particularly in the field of aging research, there is growing interest in the potential organoprotective effects of ketone bodies. In addition, ketone bodies have a potential role in preventing kidney diseases, including diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a diabetic complication caused by prolonged hyperglycemia that leads to a decline in kidney function. Ketone bodies may help alleviate the renal burden from hyperglycemia by being used as an alternative energy source in patients with diabetes. Furthermore, ketone body production may reduce inflammation and delay the progression of several kidney diseases in addition to DKD. Although there is still insufficient research on the use of ketone bodies as a treatment and their effects, their renoprotective effects are being gradually proven. This review outlines the ketone body-mediated renoprotective effects in DKD and other kidney diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prevalence of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is 2-3 times greater among Mexican Americans than non-Latino whites, and Mexican Americans are more likely to develop T2DM at younger ages and experience higher rates of complications. Social networks might play a crucial role in both T2DM etiology and management through social support, access to resources, social engagement, and health behavioral norms. OBJECTIVE To quantitatively identify the social network features associated with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in a community sample of Mexican immigrants residing in New York City, and to explore the extent to which these quantitative findings converge with qualitative narratives of their lived experiences. METHODS This study used a convergent mixed methods design. To collect personal network data, we used EgoWeb, and obtained 1,400 personal network ties from 81 participants. HbA1c readings were collected using dried blood spots and categorized according to the laboratory criteria of the American Diabetes Association. Additional survey data were collected using Qualtrics software. To investigate the significance of the network-level factors after accounting for the socioeconomic and demographic individual-level factors that the literature indicates to be associated with T2DM, we used a multiple regression model on quantitative data sources. For the qualitative portion of the study, we selected a subset of individuals who participated in the quantitative portion, which represented 500 personal network ties from 25 participants. We conducted in-depth interviews guided by the visualization of these ties to explore who was helpful or difficult in managing their health and health behaviors. RESULTS Individual-level indicators associated with lower HbA1c scores were body mass index (β = -0.07, p<0.05), and healthy eating index scores (β = -0.03, p<0.02). The network-level predictor associated with higher HbA1c levels was the percentage of diabetic alters in the network (β = 0.08, p <0.001, with a 25% increase in the percentages associated 2.0 change in HbA1c levels. The qualitative data highlighted that most of the diabetes-related information diffused through the social networks of our participants was related to dietary practices, such as reducing sugar and red meat consumption, eating out less, and reducing portion sizes. Notably, even among those with elevated levels and diabetes-related health complications, HbA1c was not considered a part of the lay descriptions of good health since they were not "suffering." Participants regarded doctors as the ultimate authority in diabetes care, even if they had supportive members in their personal networks. CONCLUSION Our study provides quantitative evidence for the significant role of diabetic network members in the etiology and management of T2DM among Mexican Americans. Our qualitative findings suggest important ley terms for T2DM management and the importance of physicians, which could be included in in future social networks studies seeking to diffuse diabetes-related health information for T2DM prevention and management efforts in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In diabetes, high blood glucose induces glucotoxicity, resulting in the further damage of pancreatic beta-cells and then precipitating diabetic complications. This study was aimed to investigate the relationship between glucotoxicity with the level of adipokines, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and hematological markers. Moreover, the study examined the potential modulatory effect of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) on the aforementioned markers associated with the sequelae of diabetes mellitus. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four male rats were randomly assigned to receive an injection of STZ to induce diabetes (n = 16) or to remain uninduced (n = 8). The hyperglycemic status was induced in fasting rats by single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (45 mg /kg b.w.) dissolved in citrate buffer (pH 4.5). Three days after STZ injection, rats were divided into three groups; Normal control group (A), Diabetic control group (B), and CoQ10- treated diabetic group (C). The group (C) was fed with the basal diet supplemented with 5 g of CoQ10 per kilogram of diet for three weeks after the diabetes induction. After 21 days, the blood and serum samples were taken to conduct biochemical analyses. Blood glucose was determined by Blood Glucose Monitoring System. Adipokines or cytokines were evaluated by ELISA from a serum sample. Cardiac myopathy biomarkers were estimated by UP-Converting Phosphor Immunoassay Analyzer, and hematological parameters were measured by automatic hematology analyzer. RESULTS In hyperglycemic rats, the level of fasting blood glucose, and serum level of resistin, omentin, TNF-α, and cardiomyopathy biomarkers significantly increased (P < 0.05). The treatment with CoQ10 significantly decreased the profile of adipokines and cardiomyopathy markers (cardiac enzymes and LPPLA2) in diabetic rats and also reduced glucose levels (P < 0.05). Lymphocyte percentages significantly decreased while significant increases were observed in granulocytes and MID percentages in hyperglycemic rats. CONCLUSION Diabetic rats had higher serum levels of adipokines and cardiomyopathy markers. Among the hematological markers, GRA% and MID% increased while LYM% decreased. The profile of adipokines and cardiomyopathy markers improved when CoQ10 was supplemented. The study suggests that CoQ10 may have a beneficial effect on improving diabetic complications.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to assess the association between depression, ultra-processed food consumption (UPFs), and the risk of developing diabetes-specific complications in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Baseline data came from the CARTaGENE study, a health survey of adults (40-69 years) in Quebec, Canada. The incidence of T2D complications was examined in N= 683 participants with T2D without complications at baseline by linking survey data with administrative health data. Food and drink consumption was assessed using the Canadian Diet History Questionnaire and categorized by NOVA classification. Participants were categorized into tertiles of UPFs consumption. Depression was defined as having elevated depressive symptoms based on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 or the use of antidepressant medications. Cox regression models were used to estimate the associations between UPFs, depression, and T2D complications. Results In total, 105 individuals developed diabetes-related complications over a 7-year period. Participants with high depressive symptoms and high UPFs consumption had the highest risk for diabetes complications (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 2.07, 95% CI: 0.91 - 4.70), compared to participants with low depressive symptoms and low UPFs consumption. Higher risks for diabetes complications were observed when high depressive symptoms and antidepressant use were combined with high UPFs consumption (aHR 2.59, 95% CI: 1.32 - 5.06). Conclusion This study indicates that those with co-occurring depression and high UPFs consumption have a greater risk of diabetes complications. Early management and monitoring of both risk factors might be essential to prevent diabetes complications.

Abstract
Diabetic patients develop coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and exhibit high mortality of coronary artery disease. Methylglyoxal (MGO) largely accumulates in the circulation due to diabetes. We addressed whether macrophages exposed to MGO exhibited damaging effect on the coronary artery and whether urocortin2 (UCN2) serve as protecting factors against such diabetes-associated complication. Type 2 diabetes was induced by high-fat diet and a single low-dose streptozotocin in mice. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from MGO-treated macrophages (MGO-sEV) were used to produce diabetes-like CMD. UCN2 was examined for a protective role against CMD. The involvement of arginase1 and IL-33 was tested by pharmacological inhibitor and IL-33-/- mice. MGO-sEV was capable of causing coronary artery endothelial dysfunction similar to that by diabetes. Immunocytochemistry studies of diabetic coronary arteries supported the transfer of arginase1 from macrophages to endothelial cells. Mechanism studies revealed arginase1 contributed to the impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation of coronary arteries in diabetic and MGO-sEV-treated mice. UCN2 significantly improved coronary artery endothelial function, and prevented MGO elevation in diabetic mice or enrichment of arginase1 in MGO-sEV. Diabetes caused a reduction of IL-33, which was also reversed by UCN2. IL-33-/- mice showed impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation of coronary arteries, which can be mitigated by arginase1 inhibition but can't be improved by UCN2 anymore, indicating the importance of restoring IL-33 for the protection against diabetic CMD by UCN2. Our data suggest that MGO-sEV induces CMD via shuttling arginase1 to coronary arteries. UCN2 is able to protect against diabetic CMD via modulating MGO-altered macrophage sEV cargoes.

Abstract
In type 1 diabetes, it is important to prevent diabetes-related complications and postural instability may be one clinically observable manifestation early on. This study was set to investigate differences between type 1 diabetics and healthy controls in variables of instrumented posturography assessment to inform about the potential of the assessment in early detection of diabetes-related complications. Eighteen type 1 diabetics with no apparent complications (HbA1c = 58 ± 9 mmol/L, diabetes duration = 15 ± 7 years) and 35 healthy controls underwent six 1-min two feet standing postural stability tests on a force plate. Study groups were comparable in age and anthropometric and performed the test with eyes open, eyes closed (EC), and EC head up with and without unstable padding. Type 1 diabetics exhibited greater sway (path length, p = 0.044 and standard deviation of velocity, p = 0.039) during the EC test with the unstable pad. Also, power spectral density indicated greater relative power (p = 0.043) in the high-frequency band in the test with EC head up on the unstable pad and somatosensory activity increased more (p = 0.038) when the unstable pad was added to the EC test. Type 1 diabetes may induce subtle changes in postural control requiring more active balancing when stability is challenged. Postural assessment using a portable easy-to-use force plate shows promise in detecting a diabetes-related decline in postural control that may be used as a sensitive biomarker of early-phase diabetes-related complications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications have remained a major cause of death among patients with diabetes. Hence, there is a need for effective therapeutics against diabetes-induced CVD complications. Since its discovery, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been reported to be involved in the pathology of various CVDs, with studies showing a positive association between plasma levels of PCSK9, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. PCSK9 regulates lipid homeostasis by interacting with low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs) present in hepatocytes and subsequently induces LDLR degradation via receptor-mediated endocytosis, thereby reducing LDL uptake from circulation. In addition, PCSK9 also induces pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and apoptotic cell death in diabetic-CVD. Furthermore, therapies designed to inhibit PCSK9 effectively reduces diabetic dyslipidemia with clinical studies reporting reduced cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes and no significant adverse effect on glycemic controls. In this review, we discuss the role of PCSK9 in the pathogenesis of diabetes-induced CVD and the potential mechanisms by which PCSK9 inhibition reduces cardiovascular events in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Sexual dysfunction is a common but underestimated disorder of diabetic patients of both genders, entailing specific and complex pathogenesis and severely affecting reproductive health and quality of life. Hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, aging, and psychological factors underlie its pathogenesis. A large body of evidence indicates that advanced glycation end products and oxidative stress have a distinct impact on the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications, including hypogonadism, which is closely related to sexual dysfunction. Advanced glycation end products seem to affect sexual function either directly by accumulation in various regions of the reproductive system and/or correlation or indirectly through oxidative stress induction via several mechanisms. They are also involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, which are related to sexual dysfunction. Herein, we review the issue of sexual dysfunction in diabetic males and females, with special emphasis on the impact of advanced glycation end products in the pathogenesis of sexual dysfunction, the relationship of advanced glycation end products with low testosterone levels in diabetic subjects, which account for the proportion of disorder and the available therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic liver disease is one of the main complications that leads to the aggravation of diabetes, but it has not received sufficient attention. This study aimed to provide a better understanding of the altered molecular networks in in diabetic rats with liver damage after stem cell therapy. To a certain extent, our research would be instructive, since almost no studies of this kind have been performed on patients with diabetic liver disease after stem cell therapy. METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were treated with adipose-derived stem cells. RNA-Seq analysis was performed on the liver tissues of these animals, and key pathway factors were further identified and validated. RESULTS RNA-Seq analysis revealed numerous affected signaling pathways and functional categories. The results showed that the network of dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), an oxidative stress-related gene, was prominently activated in the liver after stem cell therapy, and the enrichment of genes associated with liver damage, steatosis and fibrosis was also detected. The extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway may be involved in this process by regulating the nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. CONCLUSIONS These data provide novel insights into liver biology, suggest common alterations in the molecular networks during diabetic liver damage, and show the advantages of stem cell therapy, indicating its further application potential for early treatment of diabetic liver damage and delaying the progression of liver fibrosis in the later stage.

Abstract
CONTEXT MicroRNA-191-5p regulates key cellular processes involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications such as angiogenesis, extracellular matrix deposition, and inflammation. However, no data on circulating microRNA-191-5p in the chronic complications of diabetes are available. OBJECTIVE To assess whether serum levels of microRNA-191-5p were associated with micro- and macrovascular disease in a large cohort of subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) from the EURODIAB Prospective Complication Study. DESIGN AND SETTING Levels of microRNA-191-5p were measured by quantitative PCR in 420 patients with DM1 recruited as part of the cross-sectional analysis of the EURODIAB Prospective Complication Study. Cases (n = 277) were subjects with nephropathy and/or retinopathy and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD). Controls (n = 143) were patients without complications. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the potential independent association of microRNA-191-5p levels with chronic complications of diabetes. RESULTS Levels of microRNA-191-5p were significantly reduced (P < .001) in cases compared with controls even after adjustment for age, sex, and diabetes duration. Logistic regression analysis revealed that microRNA-191-5p was negatively associated with a 58% reduced odds ratio (OR) of chronic diabetes complications, specifically CVD, micro-macroalbuminuria, and retinopathy (OR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.23-0.77), independent of age, sex, physical activity, educational levels, diabetes duration, glycated hemoglobin, total insulin dose, hypertension, smoking, total cholesterol, albumin excretion rate, estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Analyses performed separately for each complication demonstrated a significant independent association with albuminuria (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, (0.18-0.75) and CVD (OR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.16-0.70). CONCLUSIONS In DM1 subjects, microRNA-191-5p is inversely associated with vascular chronic complications of diabetes.

Abstract
Background Glucose control in diabetes is essential for avoiding diabetes-related complications. Aim To determine the impact of body composition and sexual hormones in glucose control and diabetes-related complications, in males with autoimmune diabetes. Patients and methods Thirty-nine patients with autoimmune diabetes and flash glucose monitoring were included. A morphofunctional nutritional evaluation with bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA), abdominal adipose tissue ultrasound, rectus femoris ultrasound and biochemical parameters, was performed. Results Strong, positive correlations were observed between body composition parameters, biochemical variables and sexual hormones (p<0.05). Adipose tissue measured by BIVA and ultrasound was more significantly associated with glucose control (including time in range >70%, glucose variability <36% determined by flash glucose monitoring; p<0.05) and the presence of microvascular/macrovascular complications (p<0.05) than lean mass. After adjusting by the duration of diabetes, BMI, abdominal circumference, fat mass and phase angle increased the risk for microvascular complications (OR 1.32(1.00 - 1.73), OR 1.06(1.00 - 1.12), OR 1.14(1.01 - 1.20), 0R 0.3(0.10 - 0.91) respectively; for macrovascular complications: BMI OR 1.38(1.04 - 1.84) and fat mass OR 1.26(1.00 - 1.58)]. Sexual hormone levels did not influence on glucose control or the development of diabetes-related complications. Conclusion Anthrpometric parameters, especially adipose tissue, were associated with glucose control and variability determined by flash glucose monitoring. Furthermore, changes in fat and lean mass were associated with the presence of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Thus, a comprehensive nutritional evaluation might be useful for the evaluation of males with autoimmune diabetes, in order to identify patients with increased risk of complications.

Abstract
Diabetes and its complications are increasing worldwide in the working population as well as in elders. Prolonged hyperglycemia results in damage to blood vessels of various tissues followed by organ damage. Hyperglycemia-induced damage in small blood vessels as in nephrons, retina, and neurons results in diabetic microvascular complications which involve nephropathy, retinopathy, and diabetic neuropathy. Additionally, damage in large blood vessels is considered as a macrovascular complication including diabetic cardiomyopathy. These long-term complications can result in organ failure and thus becomes the leading cause of diabetic-related mortality in patients. Members of the Forkhead Box O family (FOXO) are involved in various body functions including cell proliferation, metabolic processes, differentiation, autophagy, and apoptosis. Moreover, increasing shreds of evidence suggest the involvement of FOXO family members FOXO1, FOXO3, FOXO4, and FOXO6 in several chronic diseases including diabetes and diabetic complications. Hence, this review focuses on the role of FOXO transcription factors in the regulation of diabetic complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Socioeconomic resources and family support have been shown to improve adherence to treatment in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and are associated with a lower risk of diabetes-related complications and death. We investigated the associations of having children and their educational level with diabetes-related complications and death among older adults with T2D. METHODS We included 74,588 adults who were at least 65 years of age at the time of T2D diagnosis over the period from 2000 to 2018 in Denmark and grouped them based on having children (yes [reference]/no), and their children's highest educational level (low/medium/high [reference]). Multistate models were performed with 3 states: T2D diagnosis, diabetes-related complications, and death. All models were stratified by other chronic diseases at baseline (yes/no). RESULTS During follow-up (mean, 5.5 years), 14.6% of the adults developed a complication and 24.8% died with or without complications. Not having children was associated with a higher hazard of death without complications among adults without (hazard ratio [HR], 1.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 1.33) and with (HR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.18) other chronic diseases and after complications among adults without other chronic diseases (HR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.38). Having children with a lower educational level was associated with a higher hazard of complications (HRlow, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.24; HRmedium, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.17), death without complications (HRlow, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.17 to 1.36; HRmedium, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.14), and after complications (HRlow, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.39) among adults without other chronic diseases. CONCLUSIONS Among adults without other chronic diseases, having no children or having children with lower educational levels was associated with a higher hazard of death. Among these adults, having children with lower educational levels was also associated with a higher hazard of diabetes-related complications.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, as a way of cell death, participates in the body's normal physiological and pathological regulation. Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis may damage glucose-stimulated islets β Insulin secretion and programmed cell death of T2DM target organs are involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM and its complications. Targeting suppression of ferroptosis with specific inhibitors may provide new therapeutic opportunities for previously untreated T2DM and its target organs. Current studies suggest that natural bioactive compounds, which are abundantly available in drugs, foods, and medicinal plants for the treatment of T2DM and its target organs, have recently received significant attention for their various biological activities and minimal toxicity, and that many natural compounds appear to have a significant role in the regulation of ferroptosis in T2DM and its target organs. Therefore, this review summarized the potential treatment strategies of natural compounds as ferroptosis inhibitors to treat T2DM and its complications, providing potential lead compounds and natural phytochemical molecular nuclei for future drug research and development to intervene in ferroptosis in T2DM.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the influence of Polygonati Rhizoma on the pyroptosis in the rat model of diabetic macroangiopathy via the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1(caspase-1)/gasdermin D(GSDMD) pathway. The rat model of diabetes was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ) combined with a high-fat, high-sugar diet. The blood glucose meter, fully automated biochemical analyzer, hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot were employed to measure blood glucose levels, lipid levels, vascular thickness, inflammatory cytokine levels, and expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins. The mechanism of pharmacological interventions against the injury in the context of diabetes was thus explored. The results demonstrated the successful establishment of the model of diabetes. Compared with the control group, the model group showed elevated levels of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides(TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-c), lowered level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-c), thickened vascular intima, and elevated serum and aorta levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and interleukin-18(IL-18). Moreover, the model group showed increased NLRP3 inflammasomes and up-regulated levels of caspase-1 and GSDMD in aortic vascular cells. Polygonati Rhizoma intervention reduced blood glucose and lipid levels, inhibited vascular thickening, lowered the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18 in the serum and aorta, attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome expression, and down-regulated the expression levels of caspase-1 and GSDMD, compared with the model group. In summary, Polygonati Rhizoma can slow down the progression of diabetic macroangiopathy by inhibiting pyroptosis and alleviating local vascular inflammation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Self-consciousness is defined as a subject (I) then becomes the object (Me) associated with a present moment of self-experience in which one is aware of their experience without any reflexive judgment attached, a state commonly investigated in mindfulness studies. On the other hand, self-consciousness is viewed as a reflexive experience and, thus, as a synonym for self-reflection. Self-consciousness is an important determinant of behaviors. Expanding self-consciousness is important among adults with diabetes to optimize health prevention and compliance with diabetes self-management in the long term. The chronic complications of diabetes comprise heart disease, stroke, nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy. This review aims to explain the relationship between self-consciousness and chronic diabetes complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic literature search was conducted in the English language in several databases. The Joanna-Briggs Institute was referenced for the quality assessment of case studies, cohort and cross-sectional studies, and qualitative studies, while systematic reviews were evaluated through PRISMA-S. Results were reported according to the PRISMA guidelines. RESULTS A total of 89 studies related to self-consciousness of diabetes chronic complications were not found. However, many findings related to chronic complications are based on a lack of knowledge of diabetes and long-term self-management. People with less education, multiple comorbidities, and cognitive dysfunction need lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes and chronic complications. CONCLUSIONS Future research should be oriented toward assessing the risk of chronic diabetes complications. Our findings suggest that research should expand self-consciousness and caring partnerships to improve self-consciousness and patients' obedience.

Abstract
Objectives. To examine whether possibilities to improve care among patients with diabetes are reflected in the numbers of cardiovascular complications at national and regional level in Finland. Methods. The study population included all patients with diabetes in Finland since 1964. The incidences of first acute coronary syndrome, ischemic stroke and lower limb amputation were examined for the period from 2010 to 2017. The age- and sex-standardised incidence rates were calculated for the first events. Adjusted Poisson regression mixed models were used to calculate average annual trends and assess regional variation of incidences during the periods 2010 to 2013 and 2014 to 2017 in the university hospital districts (UHDs) and hospital districts (HDs). Results. The nationwide incidence of first acute coronary syndrome decreased among patients with diabetes by 2.7% (95% confidence interval 2.3%; 3.0%), ischemic stroke by 2.0% (1.5%; 2.4%) and major lower limb amputation by 4.6% (3.1%; 5.9%) annually. The sexes differed only in the decrease in acute coronary events. The annual decrease among males was 2.1% (1.6%; 2.6%) and among females was 3.4% (2.8%; 4.0%) (p = .001). Marked variation was observed among UHDs and HDs in the incidences of cardiovascular events and lower limb amputations in patients with diabetes. The variation in annual trends of diabetic complications was most pronounced in acute coronary syndrome among UHDs with an estimated variance of 0.0006 (p = .034). Conclusions. The decrease in the incidence of first cardiovascular events among patients with diabetes continued from 2010 to 2017 in Finland. However, the declining national incidence rates hide regional differences which should be a target for improvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Timely and continuous care is necessary for patients with diabetes to prevent hospitalization and complications. This study investigated the association between initial Continuity of Care Index (COCI) status after diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and short- and long-term diabetes-related health outcomes. METHODS It targeted elderly patients aged 60 years and above diagnosed with T2DM and used the National Health Insurance Service Senior cohort data from 2008 to 2019. The outcome measures were diabetic avoidable hospitalization and diabetic complication incidence for a five-year period. The main independent variable was the first-year COCI status after T2DM diagnosis. Survival analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Participants with a good COCI status within the first year of being diagnosed with T2DM experienced a reduced risk of diabetes-induced avoidable hospitalization (five years: Hazard ratio (HR) 0.39, 95 % Confidence interval (CI) 0.27-0.57; overall period: HR 0.56, 95 % CI 0.43-0.72) and diabetic complications (five years: HR 0.74, 95 % CI 0.68-0.80; overall period: HR 0.77, 95 % CI 0.71-0.82). CONCLUSIONS In the short- and long-term, there is a need for early management and improved healthcare accessibility of diabetes to prevent diabetes-avoidable hospitalization and diabetes-related complications.

Abstract
Most diabetic lower-limb amputations probably result from combinations of contributing causes rather than from unitary causes. Iron-induced damage might modulate the development of chronic diabetes complications. In this study, the relationship between tissue iron levels and polarization of macrophages in induction of angiogenesis was investigated in diabetic ulcer samples and the transitional zone of diabetic ulcers. Patients with diabetic ulcers who underwent amputation were included. The transitional zone of diabetic ulcers, from the same diabetic patients, was used as a control group. After tissue preparation, Perls Prussian blue staining and immunohistochemistry for CD11c, CD163, and CD68 markers were done. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), Tie2, and protein kinase B (also known as AKT) transcription of genes were measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. For statistical analysis, we used independent samples t-test or its nonparametric equivalents, Mann-Whitney U test was used for quantitative variables, and chi-square (or Fisher's exact test) for qualitative variables. According to the results, the ratio of M2 to M1 macrophages was decreased in ulcers tissue compared to the transitional zone of diabetic ulcers. The expression of angiogenesis-related genes was increased due to hypoxia induction such as HIF and VEGF in ulcer tissue (P < .0001), but the expression of vascular stability-related genes such as Tie2 was decreased (P < .0001).In amputated diabetic ulcers, the polarization of macrophages is toward the classic type, but no connection was found in terms of tissue iron and help in the polarization of macrophages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with insulin or sulfonylureas, Endocrine Society guideline recommends HbA1c between 7% to <7.5% for those in good health, 7.5% to <8% for those in intermediate health, and 8% to <8.5% for those in poor health. Our aim was to examine associations between attained HbA1c below, within (reference), or above recommended target range and risk of complication or mortality. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of adults ≥65 years old with T2D treated with insulin or sulfonylureas from an integrated healthcare delivery system. Cox proportional hazards models of complications during 2019 were adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical variables. Primary outcome was a combined outcome of any microvascular or macrovascular event, severe hypoglycemia, or mortality during 12-month follow-up. RESULTS Among 63,429 patients (mean age: 74.2 years, 46.8% women), 8773 (13.8%) experienced a complication. Complication risk was significantly elevated for patients in good health (n = 16,895) whose HbA1c was above (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.62-2.41) or below (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.02-1.63) compared to within recommended range. Among those in intermediate health (n = 30,129), complication risk was increased for those whose HbA1c was above (HR 1.45, 95% CI 1.30-1.60) but not those below the recommended range (HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.89-1.09). Among those in poor health (n = 16,405), complication risk was not significantly different for those whose HbA1c was below (HR 0.98, 95% CI 0.89-1.09) or above (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.88-1.06) recommended range. CONCLUSIONS For older adults with T2D in good health, HbA1c below or above the recommended range was associated with significantly elevated complication risk. However, for those in poor health, achieving specific HbA1c levels may not be helpful in reducing the risk of complications.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiovascular complications are associated with up to 50% mortality, and current therapies are not effective enough. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASis) are the standard of care for diabetic patients with hypertension and albuminuria. Based on our previous studies reporting the renoprotective effects of low-dose RAASis, here, we hypothesized that low-dose RAASi treatment has cardioprotective and antifibrotic benefits in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). After five weeks of T1DM, adult male Wistar rats received low doses of ramipril, losartan, or eplerenone for two weeks. Heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were recorded. Aortic intima-media thickness (IMT), collagen accumulation, and myocardial fibrosis were assessed. All RAASis reduced PWV elevation, prevented the progression of myocardial fibrosis, and normalized B-type natriuretic peptide, troponin I, and fibroblast growth factor 23 levels without affecting blood pressure. Interestingly, only eplerenone reversed the decline in Klotho levels and reduced IMT and fibrosis in the media of the aorta. Our comparative analysis suggests that mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, particularly eplerenone, may offer superior efficacy in halting both the arterial and the myocardial injuries in T1DM compared to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers.

Abstract
PURPOSE The complications of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have a negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and could lead to increased healthcare costs. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding how and to what extent T2DM complications, particularly macrovascular and microvascular complications, affect the patients' HRQoL. This study aimed to evaluate the HRQoL in relation to diabetes complications and identify associated factors among patients with T2DM. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted over six months on T2DM patients at a National University Hospital, Malaysia. Since Malaysia is a multiethnic country with majority Malay-speaking and English widely used, the Malay and English versions of the revised version Diabetes Quality of life (DQoL) questionnaire was used to measure HRQoL. Multiple Linear Regression was applied to estimate association of individual DQoL domains with T2DM-related complications, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. RESULTS A total of 513 patients were recruited in the study. Sociodemographic (age, gender, ethnicity, employment, education) and body mass index affected satisfaction, impact and worry domains while complications affected the impact domain. Poorer HRQoL were demonstrated for severe stages heart failure (p = 0.001), nephropathy (p = 0.029), retinopathy (p < 0.001). The presence of neuropathy (p = 0.004) and foot ulcer (p = 0.039) showed poor HRQoL regardless of severity stage. Increase frequencies of hypoglycaemia (p < 0.001) showed poorer HRQoL compared to those with lesser frequencies. CONCLUSION The complications, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with T2DM affect the HRQoL domains differently. Understanding the point of which complication types and stages impact HRQoL the most can provide insights to clinicians to prioritise on effective interventions. The study findings may assist researchers and policymakers in selecting appropriate health state values when conducting cost-effectiveness studies to aid decision making.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes complications are prevalent and cause adverse effects on the physical, psychological, and economic status of adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Meditation may positively affect self-management and, in turn, reduce diabetes complications. However, the systematic examination of the effects of meditation without additional components on self-management in this population have been rarely examined. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the effects of meditation interventions on self-management (ie, control of glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and obesity and self-management) among adult patients with type 2 diabetes in randomized controlled trials. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, 6 electronic databases were searched using major keywords of meditation , diabetes , and self-management during March 2022. RESULTS Eight studies (9 articles) using mindfulness-based meditation were included. The meta-analysis showed that meditation improved hemoglobin A 1c (effect size = -0.75; 95% confidence interval, -1.30 to -0.21; P = .007) but not fasting blood glucose. Only a few studies examined meditation effects on other types of self-management (eg, blood pressure, body mass index, cholesterol, diet, exercise, foot care, and monitoring of blood glucose), and the effects were inconsistent. In 1 study, meditation improved diabetes self-management. CONCLUSIONS Mindfulness-based meditation reduced hemoglobin A 1c levels in adult patients with type 2 diabetes but did not consistently improve other types of self-management in a few studies examined. This may imply the need for additional intervention components to improve different types of self-management. Further studies are needed to examine the effects of different types of meditations with additional components on different types of self-management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common diabetic complications. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is an important step for renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis during DKD progression. Herein, the role and regulatory mechanism of METTL14 in ERS during DKD progression were investigated. METHODS DKD animal and cell models were established by streptozotocin (STZ) and high glucose (HG), respectively. HE and Masson staining were performed to analyze renal lesions in DKD mouse. Cell viability and proliferation were determined by MTT and EdU staining, respectively. HK2 cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. TUG1 m6A level was determined by Me-RIP. The interaction between TUG1, LIN28B and MAPK1 was analyzed by RIP and RNA pull-down assays. RESULTS HG stimulation promoted apoptosis and increased ERS marker proteins (GRP78, CHOP and caspase12) expression in HK2 cells, while these changes were reversed by METTL14 knockdown. METTL14 inhibited TUG1 stability and expression level in an m6A-dependent manner. As expected, TUG1 knockdown abrogated METTL14 knockdown's inhibition on HG-induced HK2 cell apoptosis and ERS. In addition, TUG1 inactivated MAPK1/ERK signaling by binding with LIN28B. And TUG1 overexpression's repression on HG-induced HK2 cell apoptosis and ERS was abrogated by MAPK1 signaling activation. Meanwhile, METTL14 knockdown or TUG1 overexpression protected against STZ-induced renal lesions and renal fibrosis in DKD mouse. CONCLUSION METTL14 promoted renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis and ERS by activating MAPK/ERK pathway through m6A modification of TUG1, thereby accelerating DKD progression.

Abstract
Diabetes is a highly heterogeneous condition; yet, it is diagnosed by measuring a single blood-borne metabolite, glucose, irrespective of aetiology. Although pragmatically helpful, disease classification can become complex and limit advances in research and medical care. Here, we describe diabetes heterogeneity, highlighting recent approaches that could facilitate management by integrating three disease models across all forms of diabetes, namely, the palette model, the threshold model and the gradient model. Once diabetes has developed, further worsening of established diabetes and the subsequent emergence of diabetes complications are kept in check by multiple processes designed to prevent or circumvent metabolic dysfunction. The impact of any given disease risk factor will vary from person-to-person depending on their background, diabetes-related propensity, and environmental exposures. Defining the consequent heterogeneity within diabetes through precision medicine, both in terms of diabetes risk and risk of complications, could improve health outcomes today and shine a light on avenues for novel therapy in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Haptoglobin (Hp) is a hemoglobin-binding protein that functions as an antioxidant in human plasma. It is reported that glycemic variability (GV) plays a key role in diabetes-related complications associated with impaired glucose metabolism and oxidative stress. Here we aim to investigate whether the effect of GV on diabetic macroangiopathy depends on Hp genotype in type 2 diabetes. METHODS A number of 860 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes was genotyped and assigned to two Hp subgroups (Hp 2-2 and Hp 1 carriers). Glycemic variability (GV) was assessed by using a retrospective continuous glucose monitoring system for three consecutive days, and it was measured using the glucose coefficient of variation (%CV), which is calculated as the ratio of glucose standard deviation to glucose mean. Clinical features, history of cardiac surgery, and vascular imaging tests were utilized to diagnose macroangiopathy. We evaluated the interaction between Hp genotypes and %CV on diabetic macroangiopathy. Furthermore, serum concentration of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as a biomarker of oxidative stress. RESULTS Serum 8-OHdG levels were positively correlated with %CV in Hp 1 carriers (r = 0.117; p = 0.021). Patients in the highest %CV tertile were associated with a higher prevalence of diabetic macroangiopathy than those in the lowest %CV tertile in Hp 1 carriers (OR = 2.461 [95% CI, 1.183-5.121], p = 0.016), but not in those with Hp 2-2 genotype (OR = 0.540 [95% CI, 0.245-1.191], p = 0.127). A significant interactive effect of Hp genotypes and %CV on diabetic macroangiopathy was found (p interaction = 0.008). CONCLUSION Hp genotype modifies the effect of GV on diabetic macroangiopathy among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
