Abstract
AIM People with coexisting severe mental illness (SMI) and type 2 diabetes have a shorter life expectancy and poorer diabetes outcomes than those without SMI. This is partly explained by the separate treatment of diabetes and SMI, which occurs in parallel silos in many healthcare systems. The Steno Diabetes Center Sjaelland and Region Zealand established the Fusion Clinic to offer combined psychiatric and diabetes care delivered by both diabetes and mental healthcare professionals. This study describes how the clinic was established and the initial diabetes outcomes. METHODS The Fusion Clinic was co-designed by people with diabetes and SMI and healthcare professionals to improve the care of adults with diabetes and SMI. The clinic approach utilised the F-ACT model. The 63 people referred to the Fusion Clinic between 01.02.2020 and 01.01.2022 who attended the clinic for more than 6 months were included in this study. Diabetes outcomes were recorded in the electronic medical records (Sundhedsplatformen EPIC). RESULTS There was a high prevalence of diabetes complications at baseline. Furthermore, 70% had one or more additional concomitant diseases, as well as SMI and diabetes. Assessment of diabetes complications and measurements of HbA1c and lipid profile improved after referral to the clinic. HbA1c declined during the first 6 months of attendance at the clinic. CONCLUSIONS This model of service delivery has the potential to improve the quality of care for people with SMI and type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Health state utility values (HSUV) for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complications are useful in economic evaluations to determine cost effectiveness of an intervention. However, there is a lack of reference ranges for different severity and stages of individual complications. This study aimed to provide an overview of HSUV decrement ranges for common T2DM complications focusing on different severity and stages of complications. METHOD A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE. (Jan 2000 to April 2022). Included studies for HSUV estimates were from outpatient setting, regardless of treatment types, complication stages, regions and HRQoL instruments. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) outcomes was to be presented as HSUV decrement values, adjusted according to social demographics and comorbidities. Adjusted HSUV decrements were extracted and compiled according to individual complications. After which, subsequently grouped into mild or severe category for comparison. RESULTS Searches identified 35 studies. The size of the study population ranged from 160 to 14,826. The HSUV decrement range was widest for cerebrovascular disease (stroke): -0.0060 to -0.0780 for mild stroke and -0.035 to -0.266 for severe stroke; retinopathy: mild (-0.005 to -0.0862), moderate (-0.0030 to -0.1845) and severe retinopathy (-0.023 to -0.2434); amputation: (-0.1050 to -0.2880). Different nature of complication severity defined in studies could be categorized into: those with acute nature, chronic with lasting effects, those with symptoms at early stage or those with repetitive frequency or episodes. DISCUSSION Overview of HSUV decrement ranges across different stages of each T2DM diabetes-related complications shows that chronic complications with lasting impact such as amputation, severe stroke with sequelae and severe retinopathy with blindness were generally associated with larger HSUV decrement range. Considerable heterogeneities exist across the studies. Promoting standardized complication definitions and identifying the most influential health state stages on HSUV decrements may assist researchers for future cost-effectiveness studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) has a strong affinity to insulin. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between IGFBP7 and complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. DESIGN A total of 1449 T2DM patients were selected from a cross-sectional study for disease management registered in the National Basic Public Health Service in Changshu, China, and further tested for their plasma IGFBP7 levels. Logistic regressions and Spearman's rank correlation analyses were used to explore the associations of IGFBP7 with diabetic complications and clinical characteristics, respectively. RESULTS Among the 1449 included T2DM patients, 403 (27.81%) had complications. In patients with shorter duration (less than five years), the base 10 logarithms of IGFBP7 concentration were associated with T2DM complications, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.41 [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.06-5.48]; while in patients with longer duration (more than five years), plasma IGFBP7 levels were not associated with T2DM complications. Furthermore, in T2DM patients with shorter duration, those with two or more types of complications were more likely to have higher levels of IGFBP7. CONCLUSION IGFBP7 is positively associated with the risk of complication in T2DM patients with shorter duration.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns. Methods: This study was a retrospective case series study. From January 2018 to December 2022, 260 patients with perineal and/or hip burns and urinary catheters indwelling who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns and Wound Repair of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, including 192 males and 68 females, aged 20-93 years. The total incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns, the detection of pathogenic bacteria, and the resistance of major Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to commonly used antimicrobial drugs in clinic were recorded. According to whether catheter-associated urinary tract infection occurred or not, the patients were divided into infection group (43 cases) and non-infection group (217 cases). The basic conditions including gender, age, total burn area, depth of perineal burn, depth of hip burn, and burn site on admission, complications of diabetes mellitus, inhalation injury, and hypoproteinaemia, invasive operations including tracheotomy and non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, duration of catheter retention, number of urethral catheterization, and bladder irrigation of patients between the two groups were compared, and the independent risk factors influencing the occurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns were screened. Results: The total incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns in this study was 16.5% (43/260). The pathogens detected were predominantly Gram-negative, followed by fungi; the main Gram-negative bacterium was Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the main Gram-positive bacterium was Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, amitraz, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and levofloxacin were higher than 70.0%, the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to cefoxitin, cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefepime, meropenem, imipenem, and piperacillin/tazobactam ranged from 56.3% to 68.8%, and the resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae to ceftazidime and tigecycline were lower than 50.0%. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to ciprofloxacin and penicillin were both 85.7%, the resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to erythromycin, clindamycin, moxifloxacin, and tetracycline ranged from 14.3% to 57.1%, and the resistance rates of Enterococcus faecalis to linezolid, tigecycline, and vancomycin were all 0. The differences were statistically significant between the two groups in terms of gender, status of complication of hypoproteinaemia, depth of perineal burn, status of non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, status of bladder irrigation, number of urethral catheterization, and duration of catheter retention of patients (with χ2 values of 7.80, 4.85, 10.68, 9.11, and 16.48, respectively, and Z values of -4.88 and -5.42, respectively, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the age, total burn area, complications of diabetes mellitus and inhalation injury, burn site, depth of hip burns, and status of tracheotomy of patients between the two groups (P>0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that gender, deep partial-thickness perineal burns, non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, bladder irrigation, and duration of catheter retention were the independent risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns (with odds ratios of 2.86, 2.63, 2.79, 2.34, and 1.04, respectively, with 95% confidence intervals of 1.21-6.73, 1.03-6.71, 1.03-7.59, 1.05-5.22, and 1.02-1.06, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections is high in patients with perineal and/or hip burns, with Klebsiella pneumoniae as the predominant pathogenic bacteria having a high resistance rate to commonly used antimicrobial drugs in clinic. Gender, deep partial-thickness perineal burns, non-perineal/hip debridement/skin transplantation surgery, bladder irrigation, and duration of catheter retention are the independent risk factors for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in patients with perineal and/or hip burns.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets play an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Mean platelet volume (MPV) is considered as biological marker of platelets activity and function. The aim of the present study was to evaluate MPV values and its possible correlation with arterial stiffness and subclinical myocardial damage, in normal glucose tolerance patients (NGT), in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients and in individuals with pre-diabetes. METHODS We enrolled 400 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. All patients underwent an Oral Glucose Tolerance test (OGTT). Arterial stiffness (AS) was evaluated with the measurement of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation pressure (AP) and augmentation index (AI). Echocardiographic recordings were performed using an E-95 Pro ultrasound system. RESULTS Among groups there was an increase in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (p < 0.0001), fasting plasma insulin (FPI) (p < 0.0001), high sensitivity c reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels (p < 0.0001) and a decrease in renal function as demonstrated by e-GFR values (p < 0.0001). From the NGT group to the T2DM group there was a rise in MPV value (p < 0.0001). Moreover, in the evaluation of arterial stiffness and subclinical myocardial damage, MPV showed a positive correlation with these parameters. CONCLUSIONS In the present study we highlighted that MPV is significantly increased, not only in newly diagnosed T2DM patients, but also in early stage of diabetes, indicating that subjects with pre-diabetes present increased platelets reactivity. Moreover, our results suggest that MPV is associated with increased arterial stiffness and subclinical myocardial damage, indicating MPV as new marker of CV risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oral lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory immune disease, occurs in the oral mucosa. We aimed to assess the prevalence and possible influencing factors of oral lichen planus in patients with diabetes mellitus. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study involved 525 patients with diabetes mellitus and 525 controls. We collected information on blood glucose level, duration of diabetes, diabetic complications, treatment methods, other systemic diseases and medication history. RESULTS Oral lichen planus was significantly more prevalent in the diabetes mellitus/type 2 diabetes mellitus group than in the controls (2.3%/2.2% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.019/0.022). There was no significant association between patients with diabetes mellitus with and those without oral lichen planus in age (p = 0.195), sex (p = 0.390), blood glucose level (p = 1), duration of diabetes (p = 0.638), diabetic complications (p = 1), treatment methods (p = 0.962), other systemic diseases (p = 0.891) and medication history (p = 0.848). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes mellitus was associated with oral lichen planus; there was a higher prevalence of oral lichen planus in patients with diabetes mellitus/type 2 diabetes mellitus than in those without diabetes. Oral lichen planus development in patients with diabetes mellitus was not significantly associated with age, sex, blood glucose level, duration of diabetes, diabetic complications, treatment methods, other systemic diseases and medication history.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the risk of major depression and dementia in patients with type 2 diabetes, including dementia resulting from depression, and their impact on diabetes-related complications and mortality. METHODS We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study including 11,441 incident cases of diabetes in 2015-2017, with follow-up until 2022. A multi-state survival analysis was performed on a seven-state model with 15 transitions to capture disease progression and onset of mental disorders. RESULTS Eight-year probabilities of depression, dementia, diabetes-related complications, and death were 9.7% (95% CI 8.7-10.7), 0.9% (95% CI 0.5-1.3), 10.4% (95% CI 9.5-11.4), and 14.8% (95% CI 13.9-15.7), respectively. Depression increased the risk of dementia up to 3.7% (95% CI 2.0-5.4), and up to 10.3% (95% CI 0.3-20.4) if coupled with diabetes complications. Eight-year mortality was 37.5% (95% CI 33.1-42.0) after depression, 74.1% (95% CI 63.7-84.5) after depression plus complications, 76.4% (95% CI 68.8-83.9) after dementia, and 98.6% (95% CI 96.1-100.0) after dementia plus complications. CONCLUSIONS The interconnections observed across depression, dementia, complications, and mortality underscore the necessity for comprehensive and integrated approaches in managing diabetes. Early screening for depression, followed by timely and targeted interventions, may mitigate the risk of dementia and improve diabetes prognosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Severe hypoglycemia (SH) in older adults (OAs) with type 1 diabetes is associated with profound morbidity and mortality, yet its etiology can be complex and multifactorial. Enhanced tools to identify OAs who are at high risk for SH are needed. This study used machine learning to identify characteristics that distinguish those with and without recent SH, selecting from a range of demographic and clinical, behavioral and lifestyle, and neurocognitive characteristics, along with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) measures. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from a case-control study involving OAs recruited from the T1D Exchange Clinical Network were analyzed. The random forest machine learning algorithm was used to elucidate the characteristics associated with case versus control status and their relative importance. Models with successively rich characteristic sets were examined to systematically incorporate each domain of possible risk characteristics. RESULTS Data from 191 OAs with type 1 diabetes (47.1% female, 92.1% non-Hispanic white) were analyzed. Across models, hypoglycemia unawareness was the top characteristic associated with SH history. For the model with the richest input data, the most important characteristics, in descending order, were hypoglycemia unawareness, hypoglycemia fear, coefficient of variation from CGM, % time blood glucose below 70 mg/dL, and trail making test B score. CONCLUSIONS Machine learning may augment risk stratification for OAs by identifying key characteristics associated with SH. Prospective studies are needed to identify the predictive performance of these risk characteristics.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive disease in which it is challenging to achieve long-term durable glycemic control. However, intensive glycemic control is crucial for preventing diabetes-related complications. Previous studies showed that monotherapy with a stepwise add-on approach was seldom effective for long-term durable glycemic control. Combination therapy, which refers to the use of two or more drugs to control hyperglycemia, has multiple benefits, including the ability to target a variety of pathophysiological processes underlying hyperglycemia. In clinical trials, initial combination therapy showed better glycemic control than monotherapy or a stepwise approach. Emerging evidence indicates that initial combination therapy is associated with preserved β-cell function and fewer complications in T2D. However, cost-effectiveness and adverse events with combination therapy are issues that should be considered. Therefore, initial combination therapy is an important option for patients with T2D that clinicians should consider with a view toward balancing benefits and potential harms. In this review, we summarize the literature addressing initial combination therapy in T2D, and we suggest optimal strategies based on clinical situations and patient characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the changes in glycemic control and diabetic complications over time in Japanese patients with juvenile-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus and to clarify the factors associated with the progression of diabetic complications. METHODS We tracked 129 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (21.8 ± 4.1 years old [mean ± SD] with a diabetes duration of 12.6 ± 5.7 years) for up to 19 years and analyzed data on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and indicators related to the severity of diabetic complications (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], urinary albumin excretion rate [UAE], carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT], and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity [baPWV]) using linear mixed model and decision tree analysis. RESULTS Although the HbA1c and UAE levels improved over time, the eGFR, CIMT, and baPWV worsened. Decision tree analysis showed that HbA1c and the glycoalbumin/HbA1c ratio for eGFR; HbA1c and systolic blood pressure for UAE; low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, glycoalbumin/HbA1c ratio, and body mass index (BMI) for CIMT; and HbA1c for baPWV were associated factors. CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective observational study, glycemic control and albuminuria improved; however, renal function and arteriosclerosis worsened over time. HbA1c levels, glycemic excursion, and blood pressure are associated with nephropathy progression. HbA1c levels, glycemic excursion, lipid levels, and BMI are associated with the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS While the risk factors for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are now well recognised, the risk factors for painful DPN remain unknown. We performed analysis of the EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study data to elucidate the incidence and risk factors of painful DPN. METHODS The EURODIAB Prospective Complications Study recruited 3250 participants with type 1 diabetes who were followed up for 7.3±0.6 (mean ± SD) years. To evaluate DPN, a standardised protocol was used, including clinical assessment, quantitative sensory testing and autonomic function tests. Painful DPN (defined as painful neuropathic symptoms in the legs in participants with confirmed DPN) was assessed at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS At baseline, 234 (25.2%) out of 927 participants with DPN had painful DPN. At follow-up, incident DPN developed in 276 (23.5%) of 1172 participants. Of these, 41 (14.9%) had incident painful DPN. Most of the participants who developed incident painful DPN were female (73% vs 48% painless DPN p=0.003) and this remained significant after adjustment for duration of diabetes and HbA1c (OR 2.69 [95% CI 1.41, 6.23], p=0.004). The proportion of participants with macro- or microalbuminuria was lower in those with painful DPN compared with painless DPN (15% vs 34%, p=0.02), and this association remained after adjusting for HbA1c, diabetes duration and sex (p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In this first prospective study to investigate the risk factors for painful DPN, we definitively demonstrate that female sex is a risk factor for painful DPN. Additionally, there is less evidence of diabetic nephropathy in incident painful, compared with painless, DPN. Thus, painful DPN is not driven by cardiometabolic factors traditionally associated with microvascular disease. Sex differences may therefore play an important role in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain in diabetes. Future studies need to look at psychosocial, genetic and other factors in the development of painful DPN.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ABCC8 gene regulates insulin secretion and plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis. The effects of an ABCC8 R1420H loss-of-function variant on beta-cell function, incidence of type 2 diabetes, and age-at-onset, prevalence, and progression of diabetes complications were assessed in a longitudinal study in American Indians. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed beta-cell function through the relationship between insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in members of this population without diabetes aged ≥5 years using standard major axis regression. We used hierarchical logistic regression models to study cross-sectional associations with diabetes complications including increased albuminuria (albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥30 mg/g), severe albuminuria (ACR ≥300 mg/g), reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2), and retinopathy. This study included 7675 individuals (254 variant carriers) previously genotyped for the R1420H with available phenotypic data and with a median follow-up time of 13.5 years (IQR 4.5-26.8). RESULTS Variant carriers had worse beta-cell function than non-carriers (p=0.0004; on average estimated secretion was 22% lower, in carriers), in children and adults, with no difference in insulin sensitivity (p=0.50). At any body mass index and age before 35 years, carriers had higher type 2 diabetes incidence. This variant did not associate with prevalence of increased albuminuria (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.16), severe albuminuria (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.68), or reduced eGFR (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.18 to 1.06). By contrast, the variant significantly associated with higher retinopathy prevalence (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.53) and this association was only partially mediated (<11%) by glycemia, duration of diabetes, risk factors of retinopathy, or insulin use. Retinopathy prevalence in carriers was higher regardless of diabetes presence. CONCLUSIONS The ABCC8 R1420H variant is associated with increased risks of diabetes and of retinopathy, which may be partially explained by higher glycemia levels and worse beta-cell function.

Abstract
AIMS We evaluated the impact of early rhythm control (ERC) on diabetes-related complications and mortality in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS This observational cohort study based on the Korean National Health Insurance Service claims database from 2009 to 2016, divided newly diagnosed AF patients with T2DM into ERC or usual care groups based on receiving rhythm control treatment within 1 year of AF diagnosis. The primary outcome was ischemic stroke, and the secondary outcomes were macro/microvascular complications, and all-cause death. RESULTS Among 47,509 subjects (mean age 66.7 ± 10.5 years; 61.8 % men; mean CHA2DS2-VASc score 4.6 ± 1.8; mean follow-up 4.3 ± 2.3 years; mean DM duration 5.6 ± 4.7 years), 23.1 % received ERC, and 76.9 % did not (usual care group). ERC was associated with lower risks of ischemic stroke, macrovascular and microvascular complications, and all-cause death compared to usual care (adjusted hazard ratios [95 % confidence interval]: 0.77 [0.70-0.85], 0.79 [0.73-0.86], 0.86 [0.82-0.90], and 0.92 [0.87-0.98], p < 0.001, <0.001, <0.001, and 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Early rhythm control was associated with reduced risks of diabetes-related complications and mortality in subjects with T2DM and AF. Rhythm control within 1 year of AF diagnosis with proper anticoagulation should be considered to prevent adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Diabetes affects millions of people worldwide and is mainly associated with impaired insulin function. To date, various oral anti-diabetic drugs have been developed, of which, the sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is) are of the most recent classes that have been introduced. They differ from other classes in terms of their novel mechanism of actions and unique beneficial effects rather than just lowering glucose levels. SGLT2Is can protect body against cardiovascular events and kidney diseases even in non-diabetic individuals. SGLT2Is participate in immune cell activation, oxidative stress reduction, and inflammation mediation, thereby, moderating diabetic complications. In addition, toll like receptors (TLRs) are the intermediators of the immune system and inflammatory process, thus it's believed to play crucial roles in diabetic complications, particularly the ones that are related to inflammatory reactions. SGLT2Is are also effective against diabetic complications via their anti-inflammatory and oxidative properties. Given the anti-inflammatory properties of TLRs and SGLT2Is, this review investigates how SGLT2Is can affect the TLR pathway, and whether this could be favorable toward diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically review and quantitatively synthesize the existing evidence to better identify the high-risk population of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched databases including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to February 2023. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.3 software, and we calculated the estimated combined effect using inverse variance weighting of OR. I2 statistics were used to quantify the inter-study heterogeneity. Funnel plots and Egger test were used to assess publication bias, and sensitivity analysis was carried out through the transformation effect model or the removal of literature one by one. RESULTS Finally, 29 articles were included in the study, which involved a total of 726,656 patients with NAFLD. A total of 15 major risk factors were evaluated. Statistically significant risk factors were: advanced liver fibrosis (OR=6.40), diabetes (OR=2.38), obesity (OR=1.46), hypertension (OR=1.75), older age (OR=3.57), male (OR=2.45), alcohol intake (OR=2.98), smoking (OR=1.44), PNPLA3 genotype variation (OR=1.76), elevated liver enzymes (OR=2.92), low platelet counts (OR=4.61), and low albumin levels (OR=2.11). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that advanced liver fibrosis, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, older age, male, alcohol intake, smoking, PNPLA3 genotype variation, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet counts, and low albumin levels were all significant risk factors for HCC in NAFLD. However, dyslipidemia was not found to be a risk factor. Further exploration is needed to confirm whether Hispanic ethnicity and high ferritin levels are also risk factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preventing diabetic complications involves regular outpatient follow-up and maintaining low variability in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. This study investigated the factors associated with diabetic complications, with a specific focus on the impact of regular outpatient follow-up and HbA1c variability, among patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS The study design was secondary data analysis of electronic medical records from a university hospital in Korea. It included patients aged 40-79 with type 2 diabetes who were prescribed diabetes medication within three months of their first HbA1c test by an endocrinologist and were followed up for at least five years. Follow-up regularity, adjusted standard deviation of HbA1c levels, and diabetic complication indices were collected. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, independent t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. RESULTS The study included 1566 patients. Lower follow-up regularity was observed in patients of older age, with comorbidities, diabetic complications, insulin treatment, a history of hospitalization, lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and total cholesterol (TC), and higher HbA1c variability. Higher HbA1c variability was observed in younger patients without comorbidity but with insulin treatment, a history of hospitalization, higher baseline blood glucose (BG), HbA1c, TC, and triglyceride levels. HbA1c variability had the strongest influence on BG and HbA1c levels at the five-year follow-up. Baseline eGFR and TC were the most influential factors for their respective levels at the five-year follow-up. Follow-up regularity significantly affected BG, HbA1c, eGFR, and TC at five-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS It has been shown that several variables besides regular follow-up and HbA1c variability have an influence. However, these are the two that can be corrected through nursing intervention and are important, so intervention on these is important.

Abstract
Most patients are diagnosed as having diabetes only after experiencing diabetes complications. Educational attainment might have a positive relationship with diabetes prognosis. The diabetes pay-for-performance (P4P) program-providing comprehensive, continuous medical care-has improved diabetes prognosis in Taiwan. This retrospective cohort study investigated how educational attainment affects the presence of diabetes complications at diabetes diagnosis and mortality risk in patients with diabetes enrolled in the P4P program. From the National Health Insurance Research Database, we identified patients aged >45 years who had received a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes during 2002-2015; they were followed up until the end of 2017. We next used logistic regression analysis to explore whether the patients with different educational attainments had varied diabetic complication risks at diabetes diagnosis. The Cox proportional hazard model was employed to examine the association of different educational attainments in people with diabetes with mortality risk after their enrollment in the P4P program. The results indicated that as educational attainment increased, the risk of diabetes complications at type 2 diabetes diagnosis decreased gradually. When type 2 diabetes with different educational attainments joined the P4P program, high school education had the highest effect on reducing mortality risk; however, those with ≤ 6th grade education had the lowest impact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some reports suggest that women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have a greater burden of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) than women without T1D, but the etiology of this elevated risk is poorly understood. AIM To examine the associations between FSD and urinary incontinence/lower urinary tract symptoms (UI/LUTS) in women with T1D and to evaluate how depression may mediate these relationships. METHODS LUTS and UI symptoms were assessed in women with T1D who participated in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study. Multivariable logistic regression models estimated associations between FSD and UI/LUTS (overall and specific domains) and the impact of depression on these associations. OUTCOMES FSD was measured with the Female Sexual Function Index-Reduced. RESULTS In total, 499 self-reported sexually active women completed validated assessments of sexual and urinary function (mean ± SD age, 47.7 ± 7.6 years; T1D duration, 23.4 ± 5.15 years). FSD was reported in 232 (46%) responders. The frequency of UI and LUTS was 125 (25.1%) and 96 (19.2%), respectively. Neither UI nor its subcategories (urge, stress) were associated with FSD. Although LUTS (odds ratio [OR], 1.75; 95% CI, 1.09-2.77) and its symptoms of urgency (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.09-3.61) and incomplete emptying (OR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.23-4.85) were associated with FSD, these associations were attenuated following adjustment for depression and antidepressant medication use. Depression indicators were independently associated with FSD overall and across domains. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS The complex interplay of voiding dysfunction, mental health, and sexual function warrants further investigation to understand the potential implications for patient assessment, goal setting, treatment, and care planning. STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS Data are from a prospective study of individuals with T1D. These results are unable to explore cause-and-effect relationships among LUTS, UI, depression, and FSD. The sample may not be representative of the general population of women with T1D. Because participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study are mostly White, generalizing the findings to other races and to type 2 diabetes may not be appropriate. While exclusion of sexually inactive women likely biases our findings toward the null, this design element permitted study of LUTS and UI in relation to aspects of FSD, the primary objective of this study. CONCLUSIONS The significant associations between LUTS/UI and FSD among middle-aged women with T1D were greatly attenuated when depression was considered a mediating factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The coexistence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been suggested to accelerate the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) and make the phenotype more severe. In this study, we investigated whether DM or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels affect the differences in motor and nonmotor symptoms. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study including 140 consecutive Japanese patients with PD for whom medical history and serum HbA1c records were available. The PD patients with a DM diagnosis were classified into the diabetes-complicated group (PD-DM) and the nondiabetes-complicated group (PD-no DM). Next, patients were classified based on a median HbA1c value of 5.7, and clinical parameters were compared. The correlations between HbA1c levels and other clinical variables were analyzed. RESULTS Of 140 patients, 23 patients (16%) had DM. Compared to PD-no DM patients, PD-DM patients showed lower MMSE scores. Compared to the lower HbA1c group, the higher HbA1c group showed a higher MDS-UPDRS part III score and a lower metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio. HbA1c levels were positively correlated with age and the MDS-UPDRS part III score and negatively correlated with the MMSE score and H/M ratio on cardiac MIBG scintigraphy. Binary logistic regression analysis, which included age, sex, disease duration, and MMSE and MDS-UPDRS part III scores as independent variables, revealed that a lower MMSE score was an independent contributor to PD-DM and PD with high HbA1c levels. CONCLUSIONS DM complications and high HbA1c levels may affect cognitive function in patients with PD.

Abstract
Aims Diabetic cheiroarthropathies limit hand mobility due to fibrosis and could be markers of a global profibrotic trajectory. Heterogeneity in definitions and lack of a method to measure it complicate studying associations with organ involvement and treatment outcomes. We measured metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint extension as a metric and describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging determinants of MCP restriction. Methods Adults with type 1 diabetes were screened for hand manifestations using a symptom questionnaire, clinical examination, and function [Duruoz hand index (DHI) and grip strength]. Patients were segregated by mean MCP extension (<20°, 20°-40°, 40°-60°, and >60°) for MR imaging (MRI) scanning. Patients in the four groups were compared using ANOVA for clinical features and MRI tissue measurements (tenosynovial, skin, and fascia thickness). We performed multiple linear regression for determinants of MCP extension. Results Of the 237 patients (90 men), 79 (33.8%) with cheiroarthropathy had MCP extension limitation (39° versus 61°, p < 0.01). Groups with limited MCP extension had higher DHI (1.9 vs. 0.2) but few (7%) had pain. Height, systolic blood pressure, and nephropathy were associated with mean MCP extension. Hand MRI (n = 61) showed flexor tenosynovitis in four patients and median neuritis in one patient. Groups with MCP mobility restriction had the thickest palmar skin; tendon thickness or median nerve area did not differ. Only mean palmar skin thickness was associated with MCP extension angle on multiple linear regression. Conclusion Joint mobility limitation was quantified by restricted mean MCP extension and had structural correlates on MRI. These can serve as quantitative measures for future associative and interventional studies.

Abstract
Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kpn) is one of the most common gram-negative bacilli causing lung, urinary tract, and biliary tract infections. However, as a distinct entity from classic Kpn, hypervirulent Kpn causing liver abscess, endophthalmitis, and lung abscess with poor prognoses has been reported mainly in East and Southeast Asia since the mid-1980s. Although the definition of hypervirulent Kpn is unclear, the hypermucoviscosity of Kpn is considered an important feature of hypervirulence. We present a case of emphysematous pyelonephritis accompanied by septic shock and acute kidney injury caused by hypermucoviscous Kpn infection that was successfully treated by intensive treatment. A 70-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed with emphysematous pyelonephritis, and string test-positive Kpn was detected in blood and urine cultures and percutaneous catheter drainage fluid from the renal pelvis. The patient was treated with intensive therapies including antibiotics, ventilator management, and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) using AN69ST, which can absorb cytokines. During the course of treatment, the infection was complicated by pyogenic spondylitis, which was cured by antimicrobial therapy, and the patient was transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation on day 119 after admission. Hypermucoviscous Kpn infection often has a severe course, and it is important to initiate multidisciplinary treatment at an early stage, including rifampicin, which is expected to inhibit the viscosity of hypermucoviscous Kpn. In the current case, immediate CHDF using AN69ST was also considered a life-saving treatment because it improved both volume overload and neutrophil-activated hypercytokinemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with poorer glycemic control and a higher risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) complications, extrahepatic and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study aim was to evaluate the association between NAFLD, T2D complications, and the development of overall clinical events (OCE) (CV, liver-related, and mortality) in patients with T2D. METHODS Prospective single-center study comprising T2D subjects with no history of CVD and non-T2D matched controls. Patients were selected from the Outpatient Diabetes Clinic of Vall d'Hebron Hospital and related primary care centers. RESULTS 186 diabetics and 57 controls were included. Amongst T2D, 124/186 subjects had NAFLD (66.6%). T2D-NAFLD subjects showed a heavier metabolic burden and higher median liver stiffness (5.6kPa [4.5-7.3] vs 4.8 [4.2-5.8]; p=0.004) compared to non-NAFLD diabetics. During a median follow-up of 5.6 years, 33 (17.7%) T2D patients developed OCE vs 4 (7.0%) controls (p=0.049). No differences were found for OCE between NAFLD and non-NAFLD diabetics (16.9% vs 19.4%; p=0.68). CV was the most reported outcome and only one liver event occurred. NAFLD diabetics showed more often chronic kidney disease (CKD), whereas T2D complications and subclinical CVD rates were similar. A higher liver stiffness, older age, and male gender were independently associated with OCE amongst the entire T2D population and NAFLD diabetics. CONCLUSIONS NAFLD and liver stiffness were associated with CKD and clinical outcomes in diabetics, respectively. A hepatic evaluation is recommended to identify high-risk T2D patients that would benefit from early referral to specialized care.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate presence of treatment effect heterogeneity of intensive insulin therapy (INT) on occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in individuals with type 1 diabetes. METHODS In participants from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study, individual treatment effect of INT (≥3 daily insulin injections/insulin pump therapy) versus conventional therapy (once/twice daily insulin) on the risk of MACE was estimated using a penalized Cox regression model including treatment-by-covariate interaction terms. RESULTS In 1441 participants, 120 first MACE events were observed and 1279 individuals (89%) were predicted to benefit from INT with regard to MACE risk reduction. The study population was divided into four groups based on predicted treatment effect: one group with no predicted benefit and three tertiles with predicted treatment benefit. The median absolute reduction in 30-year risk of MACE across groups of predicted treatment effect ranged from -0.2% (i.e. risk increase; interquartile range [IQR] -0.1% to -0.3%) in the group with no predicted benefit to 6.6% (i.e. risk reduction; IQR 3.8%-10.9%; number needed to treat 15) in the highest tertile of predicted benefit. The observed benefit of preventing microvascular complications was stable across all subgroups of predicted MACE benefit. CONCLUSIONS Although INT reduces the risk of MACE in the majority of individuals with type 1 diabetes, benefit varies substantially. These individual differences in the effect of INT underline the necessity for a better understanding of the individual response to intensive treatment.

Abstract
This study investigated modifications to the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their relationship to heart complications. db/db mice heart tissues were compared with WT mice tissues using RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR, and protein analysis to identify cardiac UPS modifications associated with diabetes. The findings unveiled a distinctive gene profile in the hearts of db/db mice with decreased levels of nppb mRNA and increased levels of Myh7, indicating potential cardiac dysfunction. The mRNA levels of USP18 (deubiquitinating enzyme), PSMB8, and PSMB9 (proteasome β-subunits) were down-regulated in db/db mice, while the mRNA levels of RNF167 (E3 ligase) were increased. Corresponding LMP2 and LMP7 proteins were down-regulated in db/db mice, and RNF167 was elevated in Adult diabetic mice. The reduced expression of LMP2 and LMP7, along with increased RNF167 expression, may contribute to the future cardiac deterioration commonly observed in diabetes. This study enhances our understanding of UPS imbalances in the hearts of diabetic mice and raises questions about the interplay between the UPS and other cellular processes, such as autophagy. Further exploration in this area could provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying diabetic heart complications and potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a severe urinary tract infection common in patients with diabetes. Nephrectomy is recommended when the Huang classification is ≥3B. We herein report a case in which nephrectomy was avoided using antimicrobial agents and percutaneous drainage (PCD). A 59-year-old man was diagnosed with EPN (Huang classification 3B). The causative bacteria were Escherichia coli. Despite high-risk factors, EPN was cured with kidney preservation and PCD because the emphysema and abscess were not extensive. Thus, PCD should be considered in patients with Huang Class 3B EPN and high-risk factors if emphysema and abscess are not extensive.

Abstract
Many adults with diabetes mellitus are unaware worldwide. The study objectives aimed to evaluate the risk of dialysis within 5 years of diagnosis between patients with newly diagnosed diabetes with and without diabetes-related complications. A retrospective longitudinal nationwide cohort study was conducted. Patients diagnosed with diabetes between 2005 and 2013 were followed up until 2018. They were categorized based on the presence or absence of complications, the number of complications, and the diabetes complications severity index (DCSI) scores. Dialysis outcomes were determined through the Registry of Catastrophic Illness from the National Health Insurance Research Database. Among the analyzed patients, 25.38% had complications at diagnosis. Patients with complications at diagnosis had a significantly higher risk of dialysis within 5 years (adjusted hazard ratio: 9.55, 95% confidence interval CI 9.02-10.11). Increasing DCSI scores and the number of complications were associated with higher dialysis risks. Patients with one complication had a 7.26-times higher risk (95% CI 6.83-7.71), while those with ≥ 3 complications had a 36.12-times higher risk (95% CI 32.28-40.41). In conclusion, newly diagnosed diabetes patients with complications face an increased risk of dialysis within 5 years. The severity and number of complications are directly linked to the risk of dialysis within this timeframe.

Abstract
Diabetic fibrous mastopathy (DFM) is a rare benign fibrotic disease of the breast that develops in patients with longstanding and often uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Clinically, patients may present with an irregular, firm, palpable mass, which may be solitary or multiple, occurring in one or both breasts. Diabetic fibrous mastopathy occurs most often in premenopausal women with heterogeneously or extremely dense breasts; mammography may show focal asymmetry or, less often, a noncalcified mass with indistinct or obscured margins, but there are usually no discrete findings. On US, DFM may have marked hypoechogenicity and posterior shadowing secondary to extensive fibrosis. Diabetic fibrous mastopathy features on contrast-enhanced MRI are also nonspecific, with gradual persistent nonmass enhancement reported. Because the clinical presentation and US features of DFM overlap with those of breast cancer, histopathologic correlation is needed to confirm diagnosis and exclude malignancy. These findings include collagenous stroma often with keloidal features and chronic perilobular and perivascular inflammation. Histopathologic findings of lymphocytic lobulitis and perivascular inflammation are common to other autoimmune conditions.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex disease with alarming worldwide health implications and high mortality rates, largely due to its complications such as cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Recent research has shown that procyanidins (PC), a type of flavonoid, have strong antioxidant and free radical elimination effects, and may be useful in improving glucose metabolism, enhancing pancreatic islet cell activity, and decreasing the prevalence of DM complications. This review article presents a systematic search for peer-reviewed articles on the use of PC in the treatment of DM, without any language restrictions. The article also discusses the potential for PC to sensitise DM medications and improve their efficacy. Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated promising results in improving the biological activity and bioavailability of PC for the treatment of DM. The article concludes by highlighting the potential for novel materials and targeted drug delivery methods to enhance the pharmacokinetics and bioactivity of PC, leading to the creation of safer and more effective anti-DM medications in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fear of diabetes complications (FDC) is a common source of emotional distress in people with diabetes across types and treatments and may affect health outcomes. To assess FDC, the Fear of Diabetes Complications Questionnaire (FDCQ) was developed. This study evaluates the FDCQ's German version in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHOD A German version of the FDCQ was developed and administered as part of four different studies sampling people with T1D and T2D. Measurement properties were evaluated across studies using factor analyses, reliability estimates, and associations of the measure within a network of variables. A cutoff criterion for elevated FDC was derived. A short form scale was also developed. RESULTS High reliability and validity were supported. FDC as measured by the FDCQ was independently associated with higher diabetes distress and depressive symptoms. A cut-off score for elevated FDC was set at ≥30 in the 15-item FDCQ. Elevated FDCQ scores were detected in 36% of participants in secondary diabetes care and up to 46% of those in tertiary care. CONCLUSIONS FDC is prevalent in people with T1D and T2D and associated with diabetes distress and depressive symptoms. The FDCQ is a reliable and valid tool for assessing FDC in research and practice. It may help identify persons in need of tailored education and care and monitor effects following treatment.

Abstract
Constipation is a major complications of diabetes mellitus. With the accelerating prevalence of diabetes worldwide and an aging population, there is considerable research interest regarding the altered function and structure of the gastrointestinal tract in diabetic patients. Despite current advances in hyperglycemic treatment strategies, the specific pathogenesis of diabetic constipation remains unknown. Patients with constipation, may be reluctant to eat regularly, which may worsen glycemic control and thus worsen symptoms associated with underlying diabetic bowel disease. This paper presents a review of the complex relationship between diabetes and constipation, exploring the morphological alterations and biomechanical remodeling associated with intestinal motility dysfunction, as well as alterations in intestinal neurons, cellular signaling pathways, and oxidative stress. Further studies focusing on new targets that may play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic constipation may, provide new ideas for the development of novel therapies to treat or even prevent diabetic constipation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION LANDMARC (CTRI/2017/05/008452), a prospective, observational real-world study, evaluated the occurrence of diabetes complications, glycemic control and treatment patterns in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) from pan-India regions over a period of 3 years. METHODS Participants with T2DM (≥25 to ≤60 years old at diagnosis, diabetes duration ≥2 years at the time of enrollment, with/without glycemic control and on ≥2 antidiabetic therapies) were included. The proportion of participants with macrovascular and microvascular complications, glycemic control and time to treatment adaptation over 36 months were assessed. RESULTS Of the 6234 participants enrolled, 5273 completed 3 years follow-up. At the end of 3-years, 205 (3.3%) and 1121 (18.0%) participants reported macrovascular and microvascular complications, respectively. Nonfatal myocardial infarction (40.0%) and neuropathy (82.0%) were the most common complications. At baseline and 3-years, 25.1% (1119/4466) and 36.6% (1356/3700) of participants had HbA1c <7%, respectively. At 3-years, population with macrovascular and microvascular complications had higher proportion of participants with uncontrolled glycemia (78.2% [79/101] and 70.3% [463/659], respectively) than those without complications (61.6% [1839/2985]). Over 3-years, majority (67.7%-73.9%) of the participants were taking only OADs (biguanides [92.2%], sulfonylureas [77.2%] and DPP-IV inhibitors [62.4%]). Addition of insulin was preferred in participants who were only on OADs at baseline, and insulin use gradually increased from 25.5% to 36.7% at the end of 3 years. CONCLUSION These 3-year trends highlight the burden of uncontrolled glycemia and cumulative diabetes-related complications, emphasizing the importance of optimizing diabetes management in India.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential for DNA methylation (DNAm) as an early marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and how such an association might differ by glycemic exposure has not been examined in type 1 diabetes, a population at increased CVD risk. We thus performed a prospective epigenome-wide association study of blood leukocyte DNAm (EPIC array) and time to CVD incidence over 28 years in a childhood-onset (< 17 years) type 1 diabetes cohort, the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study (n = 368 with DNA and no CVD at baseline), both overall and separately by glycemic exposure, as measured by HbA1c at baseline (split at the median: < 8.9% and ≥ 8.9%). We also assessed whether DNAm-CVD associations were independent of established cardiometabolic risk factors, including body mass index, estimated glucose disposal rate, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, pulse rate, albumin excretion rate, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. RESULTS CVD (first instance of CVD death, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, ischemic ECG, angina, or stroke) developed in 172 participants (46.7%) over 28 years. Overall, in Cox regression models for time to CVD, none of the 683,597 CpGs examined reached significance at a false discovery rate (FDR) ≤ 0.05. In participants with HbA1c < 8.9% (n = 180), again none reached FDR ≤ 0.05, but three were associated at the a priori nominal significance level FDR ≤ 0.10: cg07147033 in MIB2, cg12324048 (intergenic, chromosome 3), and cg15883830 (intergenic, chromosome 1). In participants with HbA1c ≥ 8.9% (n = 188), two CpGs in loci involved in calcium channel activity were significantly associated with CVD (FDR ≤ 0.05): cg21823999 in GPM6A and cg23621817 in CHRNA9; four additional CpGs were nominally associated (FDR ≤ 0.10). In participants with HbA1c ≥ 8.9%, DNAm-CVD associations were only modestly attenuated after cardiometabolic risk factor adjustment, while attenuation was greater in those with HbA1c < 8.9%. No pathways were enriched in those with HbA1c < 8.9%, while pathways for calcium channel activity and integral component of synaptic membrane were significantly enriched in those with HbA1c ≥ 8.9%. CONCLUSIONS These results provide novel evidence that DNAm at loci involved in calcium channel activity and development may contribute to long-term CVD risk beyond known risk factors in type 1 diabetes, particularly in individuals with greater glycemic exposure, warranting further study.

Abstract
Background Japan has the second highest prevalence of dialysis use in the world. Approximately 40% of patients who begin dialysis have diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Local governments and medical facilities are required to provide preventive measures against worsening diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the percentage of patients with DM who receive such screening or interventions for DKD is unclear. This study aimed to reveal to what extent screening for DKD and preventive measures against worsening DKD are performed in patients with DM, using an administrative database in a municipality. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that used the Kyoto-city's administrative medical and long-term care database. Patients with a diagnosis of DM and receiving antidiabetic medication between 2013 and 2018 were defined as patients with DM and included. Patients with DKD were defined as those diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy or those with chronic kidney disease. We described the characteristics of patients with DM, diabetic complications, and extent of DKD screenings and preventive efforts against worsening of DM by fiscal year. Results Across fiscal years, 25.8% to 27.5% of patient with DM had DKD. More than 3% of patients were on dialysis due DM in each fiscal year; approximately 15% started receiving dialysis that year. The percentage of patients who were regularly prescribed antidiabetic medication and received glycosylated hemoglobin testing ranged from 64.0% to 67.2% and from 30.6% to 36.5%, respectively. Urine microalbuminuria testing at least once a year occurred in 9.3% to 10.0%. The percentage of patients who received nutritional guidance ranged from 19.0% to 21.0%. Approximately 1% of patients received guidance for preventing DM from progressing to a disease that requires dialysis each fiscal year. Conclusion This study from Japan, where a super-aging society has developed, using an administrative database in a municipality covering most of the elderly population clearly demonstrated an evidence-practice gap in efforts to prevent worsening of DKD. Strengthening cooperation between government and medical facilities and support for providing preventive measures against DKD are urgently needed.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to determine the effect of bariatric surgery on diabetes complications in individuals with class II/III obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2). METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study of participants with obesity who underwent bariatric surgery. At baseline and 2 years following surgery, participants underwent metabolic phenotyping and diabetes complication assessments. The primary outcomes for peripheral neuropathy (PN) were a change in intra-epidermal nerve fibre density (IENFD, units = fibres/mm) at the distal leg and proximal thigh, the primary outcome for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) was a change in the expiration/inspiration (E/I) ratio, and the primary outcome for retinopathy was a change in the mean deviation on frequency doubling technology testing. RESULTS Among 127 baseline participants, 79 completed in-person follow-up (age 46.0 ± 11.3 years [mean ± SD], 73.4% female). Participants lost a mean of 31.0 kg (SD 18.4), and all metabolic risk factors improved except for BP and total cholesterol. Following bariatric surgery, one of the primary PN outcomes improved (IENFD proximal thigh, +3.4 ± 7.8, p<0.01), and CAN (E/I ratio -0.01 ± 0.1, p=0.89) and retinopathy (deviation -0.2 ± 3.0, p=0.52) were stable. Linear regression revealed that a greater reduction in fasting glucose was associated with improvements in retinopathy (mean deviation point estimate -0.7, 95% CI -1.3, -0.1). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Bariatric surgery may be an effective approach to reverse PN in individuals with obesity. The observed stability of CAN and retinopathy may be an improvement compared with the natural progression of these conditions; however, controlled trials are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular events. Previous studies have reported that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were related to cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes. However, data on associations between long-term AGEs and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes are lacking. This study aimed to determine whether a long-time shift in the levels of serum AGEs is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. METHODS Two-time serum methyl-glyoxal-hydroimidazoline (MG-H1) levels were measured in 138 patients with type 2 diabetes whose mean glycated hemoglobin level was 10.1%. We categorized patients whose serum MG-H1 levels were < 2.8 µg/mL at both times as the continuous low MG-H1 group. The primary endpoints of this study were combined cardiovascular events, which were defined as heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and all-cause death. Hazard ratios (HRs) for combined cardiovascular events with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard models to compare the outcomes between the continuous low MG-H1 group and others. RESULTS The continuous low MG-H1 group was associated with a significantly lower risk than others in combined cardiovascular events after adjusting for possible confounders (HR: 0.50; 95% CI, 0.28-0.87; P = 0.02). Furthermore, the same relationship was observed in patients without a history of cardiovascular events. CONCLUSIONS Continuous low serum MG-H1 levels are associated with a low frequency of diabetes-related complications in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study is on the use of the adapted Diabetes Complications Severity Index (aDCSI) for erectile dysfunction (ED) risk stratification in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS This is a retrospective study with records obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Adjusted HRs (aHRs) were estimated by multivariate Cox proportional hazards models with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).. RESULTS A population of 84 288 eligible male patients with type 2 DM were included. Compared with change in aDCSI score of 0.0-0.5 per year, the aHRs and the corresponding 95% CIs for other changes in aDCSI scores are summarised as follows: 1.10 (0.90 to 1.34) for change in aDCSI score of 0.5-1.0 per year; 4.44 (3.47 to 5.69) for change in aDCSI score of 1.0-2.0 per year; and 10.9 (7.47 to 15.9) for change in aDCSI score of >2.0 per year.. CONCLUSIONS Progression in aDCSI score might be used for ED risk stratification in men affected by type 2 DM.

Abstract
Aims Our aim was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and persistence of visual impairment (VI) and their correlates among the Chinese population with diabetes mellitus (DM) over 3 years. Materials and methods The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey is the first nationally representative longitudinal survey of the Chinese population. A cross-sectional analysis of prevalent VI in 2015 consisted of 2,173 participants with DM. A longitudinal observation of incident and persistent VI consisted of 1,633 participants from 2015 to 2018. Risk factors of VI were identified via univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results Among our study population with DM, 11.8% reported VI in 2015, 4.5% had persistent VI from 2015 to 2018, and 8.9% developed VI in 2018. Factors identified to be correlated to VI (p < 0.05) were older age, being a woman, lower educational attainment, living in a rural area, application of DM medication and non-pharmacological treatment, receiving DM-related tests, use of spectacles, and poorer health status. Conclusion This most recent national data provides a baseline for future public health initiatives on VI among the Chinese population with DM. With multiple risk factors identified, these could provide concurrent targets for various public health strategies and interventions with the aim of reducing the burden of VI among the population with DM in China.

Abstract
The current definition of prediabetes is controversial and subject to continuous debate. Nonetheless, prediabetes is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes, is highly prevalent and is associated with diabetic complications and mortality. Thereby, it has the potential to become a huge strain on healthcare systems in the future, necessitating action from legislators and healthcare providers. But how do we best reduce its associated burden on health? As a compromise between differing opinions in the literature and among the authors of this article, we suggest stratifying individuals with prediabetes according to estimated risk and only offering individual-level preventive interventions to those at high risk. At the same time, we argue to identify those with prediabetes and already established diabetes-related complications and treat them as we would treat individuals with established type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Cataract is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. There is an increased incidence of cataract formation in the diabetic population due to several factors. Diabetes mellitus accelerates the development of cataract. Oxidative stress results in most of the diabetic complications including diabetic cataract. Oxidative stress leading to the expression of various enzymes has also been proven as crucial for cataractous changes in the lens in old age. A narrative review was undertaken to investigate the expression of different biochemical parameters as well as enzymes in diabetic and senile cataracts. Identification of these parameters is crucial for the prevention and treatment of blindness. Combinations of MeSH terms and key words were used to do literature search in PubMed. The search resulted 35 articles and among them, 13 were relevant to the topic and were included in synthesis of results. Seventeen different types of enzymes were identified in the senile and diabetic cataracts. Seven biochemical parameters were also identified. Alteration in biochemical parameters and expression of enzymes were comparable. Majority of the parameters were raised or altered in diabetic cataract compared to senile cataract.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a deadly disease due to its associated morbidity and mortality. Attempts have been made to identify predictors of severity, mortality and need for nephrectomy in EPN with little success. METHODS We conducted an ambispective study of EPN patients between March 2014 and September 2019. Retrospective data were collected which included age, sex, comorbidities, symptoms, signs, laboratory investigations including imaging, need for dialysis, management and any complications. All patients were then followed prospectively for renal dynamic scan, stone surgery or nephrectomy. Univariate analysis was performed to identify factors affecting mortality and need for elective nephrectomy. RESULTS In total, 112 patients were included. Mean patient age was 50.01 years, 55% were female and 5% had bilateral involvement. Fever and flank pain were the most common symptoms. Diabetes was seen in 75% of cases and 30% of cases required haemodialysis at initial presentation. About 60% of patients improved with pigtail drainage. Need for nephrectomy was greater in Huang-Tseng stage 3a (14.8%). Huang-Tseng stages 3b and 4 had higher mortality rates (25%) than the other stages (2.2%). Twelve of 99 patients had non functional kidney on follow-up and underwent elective nephrectomy. Low platelet counts, high body mass index, septic shock, dialysis and higher Huang-Tseng stage were found to be predictive of mortality and renal parenchymal thickness on computed tomography scan was predictive of follow-up nephrectomy. CONCLUSIONS Thrombocytopaenia, high body mass index, septic shock, haemodialysis and higher Huang-Tseng stage are predictors of mortality and renal parenchymal thickness <5mm is a predictor of poor salvage of affected kidney on follow-up.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease and has huge pressure on patients and the medical system, especially for patients with diabetic complications, for example, diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is a diabetic complication associated with damage to the kidney. To improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes, it is necessary to understand the factors that are associated with diabetic nephropathy. The objective of the study was to find the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in newly diagnosed patients with diabetes and to develop the association between clinicopathological parameters and diabetic nephropathy. In a case-control study, demographics, anthropometric, and clinicopathological parameters of a total of 305 newly diagnosed patients with diabetes (the fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.0 mM/L and/or glycosylated hemoglobin ≥ 6.5 mM/L) in Hebei province were included in the analysis. If the urine albumin to creatinine ratio was ≥ 30 (microalbuminuria) then patients were considered diabetic nephropathy. Among enrolled patients, 206 (68%) were males and 99 (32%) were females and they were 46 to 71 years old. Demographic variables and health-related behaviors were the same among patients with diabetes either with nephropathy (case group, n = 135) or patients without nephropathy (control group, n = 170, P > .05 for all). The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy was 44%. Female to male ratio was 1:1.7 in the case group. Patients with diabetic nephropathy had higher body weight (P < .0001), waist circumference (P = .0006), and body mass index (P = .0002) than those of patients without nephropathy. Abnormal urinary globulin (P = .041, odd ratio (OR): 1.1231) was associated with diabetic nephropathy. Aspartate transaminase (P = .0651, OR: 0.8541), alkaline phosphatase (P = .0661, OR: 0.8122), hypertension (P = .0821, OR: 0.8214), and blood urea nitrogen (P = .0842, OR: 0.9411) were not significantly associated with diabetic neuropathy. However, they are near the statistical cutoff value. The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in newly diagnosed diabetic patients of Hebei province is higher than those of the other provinces. Urinary globulin excretion had a weak association with the presence of nephropathy defined by urinary albumin excretion in patients with diabetes. The presence of other diabetic complications is also an essential parameter for diabetic nephropathy. Males are more susceptible to diabetic nephropathy than females if diabetic (Evidence Level: V; Technical Efficacy: Stage 3).

Abstract
We present a case of a 31-year-old patient with type 1 diabetes diagnosed at the age of 6. Diabetes is complicated with neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy. He has been admitted to the diabetes ward due to inadequate diabetes control. Gastroscopy and abdominal CT were performed, and gastroparesis was confirmed as an explanation for postprandial hypoglycemia. During hospitalization, the patient reported sudden pain localized on the lateral, distal part of his right thigh. The pain occurred at rest and was aggravated by movement. Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare complication of long-lasting, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. It usually occurs spontaneously, without any previous infection or trauma, and is often misdiagnosed clinically as an abscess, neoplasm, or myositis. DMI patients suffer from pain and swelling of the affected muscles. Radiological examinations, including MRI, CT, and USG, are most important for the diagnosis, assessing the extent of involvement and differentiating DMI from other conditions. However, sometimes a biopsy and histopathological examination are necessary. The optimal treatment has still not been determined. There is also a potential risk of DMI recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe diabetes mellitus (DM) complication that contributes to medical and financial burdens. This study aimed to investigate risk factors for DN among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients by stratifying the participants based on the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2017 and June 2022, Taiwan Hospital was chosen for this retrospective case-control study. Following the completion of a standardized interview and the donation of blood samples for this study, participants were divided into two groups according to whether they had MetS. We contrasted how the potential DN-related factors impacted these two groups. RESULTS A total of 1212 patients were included, and 639 patients (52.7%) had MetS. Multivariable analysis showed that the level of educational qualifications, fasting glucose, and uric acid (UA) were associated with DN. However, chewing betel nut behavior, higher systolic blood pressure (SBP), and higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were found to be risk factors of DN among the patients who had both T2DM and MetS. Notably, betel nut chewing increased the chance of DN in T2DM patients with MetS. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the level of education, chewing betel nut behavior, HbA1c, fasting glucose, SBP, and UA were significant risk factors for the development of DN in diabetic individuals with concurrent MetS. Our research reveals that managing the aforementioned risk factors is crucial to lowering the prevalence of DN, particularly in individuals with lower levels of education.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, defined as long-standing hyperglycemic conditions caused by a defect in insulin production and activity, has become a major healthcare burden as the number of catastrophic and life-threatening complications rises. Microvascular complications (neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy), and also diabetes-related macrovascular complications are common problems that arise as the life expectancy of diabetic patients has increased despite improved treatment options. While it is impossible to pinpoint the specific crucial timing when the complications become fully entrenched, looking for novel sensitive biomarkers to identify physiological changes in the initial stages would be needed. An increasing amount of data shows that miRNAs, particularly miRNA146a, are stable in a range of body fluids and can be used to identify pathogenic changes at the cellular or tissue level. In this brief review, we highlight the important functioning of miRNA146a and its putative target of action in diabetic microvascular and cardiovascular complications. A decrease in miRNA146a levels may play a critical role in the onset and development of diabetes complications, whereas its anti-inflammatory properties were revealed to be associated with the pathogenesis of numerous diabetic complications, including diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, and diabetes-related cardiovascular disorders, even tending to be a potential biomarker of the disease's inflammatory status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In French Guiana, the prevalence of diabetes is around 10%, and cardio and neurovascular pathologies are the first medical cause of early mortality. Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is described in the literature as a risk factor independent of other cardiovascular risk factors, but there are important interindividual differences, especially according to ethnicity. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of Lp(a) and macrovascular complications in a multiethnic population of patients with diabetes in the French Amazon. MATERIALS AND METHODS Since May 2019, 1243 patients were screened 806 of whom had Lp(a) determination. We compared the prevalence of macrovascular complications in three groups according to Lp(a) concentration: between 0 and 75 mg/mL, between 76 and 300 mg/mL, and >300 mg/mL. RESULTS 712 patients in the study had type 2 diabetes (88.34% of the sample). A history of hypertension was significantly associated with greater Lp(a) levels. Lp(a) concentration was greater among Creole ethnic groups. No association was found between Lp(a) levels and macrovascular complications in the Lp(a) > 300 mg/mL group. CONCLUSIONS These results do not replicate findings in mostly Caucasian populations suggesting that the Lp(a) threshold for, or the link with, cardiovascular risk may be different given the predominantly African origin of the French Guianese population. Further studies should study genetic polymorphisms in our population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate medical costs associated with 17 diabetes complications and treatment procedures among Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 years with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS With use of the 2006-2017 100% Medicare claims database for beneficiaries enrolled in fee-for-service plans and Part D, we estimated the annual cost of 17 diabetes complications and treatment procedures. Type 1 diabetes and its complications and procedures were identified using ICD-9/ICD-10, procedure, and diagnosis-related group codes. Individuals with type 1 diabetes were followed from the year when their diabetes was initially identified in Medicare (2006-2015) until death, discontinuing plan coverage, or 31 December 2017. Fixed-effects regression was used to estimate costs in the complication occurrence year and subsequent years. The cost proportion of a complication was equal to the total cost of the complication, calculated by multiplying prevalence by the per-person cost divided by the total cost for all complications. All costs were standardized to 2017 U.S. dollars. RESULTS Our study included 114,879 people with type 1 diabetes with lengths of follow-up from 3 to 10 years. The costliest complications per person were kidney failure treated by transplant ($77,809 in the occurrence year and $13,556 in subsequent years), kidney failure treated by dialysis ($56,469 and $41,429), and neuropathy treated by lower-extremity amputation ($40,698 and $7,380). Sixteen percent of the total medical cost for diabetes complications was for treating congestive heart failure. CONCLUSIONS Costs of diabetes complications were large and varied by complications. Our results can assist in cost-effectiveness analysis of treatments and interventions for preventing or delaying diabetes complications in Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 years with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
AIM This retrospective analysis aims to explore the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with different scores of adapted diabetes complications severity index (DCSI) who received sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is). METHODS This study includes 113,449 DM patients from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD). We analyzed the data collected from 107,440 patients showing a DCSI score change of < 1 per year, 3720 patients with a score change of 1 to 2 per year and 2289 patients with a score change of > 2 per year. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the CKD risk throughout the overall follow-up period, and were adjusted for sex, age, comorbidities and medications of a-glucosidase inhibitors, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, biguanides, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists, insulin, meglitinides, sulphonylurea and thiazolidinedione. RESULTS The incidence of CKD increased from 18.30 per 1000 person-years in patients with a score change of < 1 per year to 137.55 per 1000 person-years for those with a score change of > 2 per year. Patients with a higher score change (> 2 per year) and receiving SGLT2Is had a lower risk of developing CKD than patients who did not receive SGLT2Is. CONCLUSION The use of SGLT2Is was significantly associated with the reduction in CKD incidence in diabetic patients with a higher DCSI.
