- Abstract
Aims: To identify subgroups of adults with type 1 diabetes and analyse their treatment pathways and risk of diabetes-related complications over a 5-year follow-up., Methods: We performed a k-means cluster analysis using the T1DExchange Registry (n = 6,302) to identify subgroups based on demographic and clinical characteristics. Annual reassessments linked treatment trajectories with these clusters, considering drug and technology use. Complication risks were analysed using Cox regression., Results: Five clusters were identified: 1) A favourable combination of all variables (31.67 %); 2) Longer diabetes duration (22.63 %); 3) Higher HbA1c levels (13.28 %); 4) Higher BMI (15.25 %); 5) Older age at diagnosis (17.17 %). Two-thirds of patients remained in their initial cluster annually. Technology adoption showed improved glycaemic control over time. Cox proportional hazards showed different risk patterns: Cluster 1 had low complication risk; Cluster 2 had the highest risk for retinopathy, coronary artery disease and autonomic neuropathy; Cluster 3 had the highest risk for albuminuria, depression and diabetic ketoacidosis; Cluster 4 had increased risk for multiple complications; Cluster 5 had the highest risk for hypertension and severe hypoglycaemia, with elevated coronary artery disease risk., Conclusions: Clinical characteristics can identify subgroups of patients with T1DM showing differences in treatment and complications during follow-up., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objective: To determine bidirectional associations between the timing of chronic diabetes complications (CDCs) and mental health disorders (MHDs) in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes., Research Design and Methods: We used a nationally representative health care claims database to identify matched individuals with type 1 or 2 diabetes or without diabetes using a propensity score quasirandomization technique stratified by age (0-19, 20-39, 40-59, and ≥60 years). CDCs and MHDs were identified using ICD-9/10 codes. We fit Cox proportional hazards models with time-varying diagnoses of CDCs or MHDs to investigate their association with the hazard of developing MHDs or CDCs, respectively., Results: From 2001 to 2018, a total of 553,552 individuals were included (44,735 with type 1 diabetes, 152,187 with type 2 diabetes, and 356,630 without diabetes). We found that having a CDC increased the hazard of developing an MHD (hazard ratio [HR] 1.9-2.9; P < 0.05, with higher HRs in older age strata), and having an MHD increased the hazard of developing a CDC (HR 1.4-2.5; P < 0.05, with the highest HR in age stratum 0-19 years). In those aged <60 years, individuals with type 1 diabetes were more likely to have CDCs, whereas individuals with type 2 diabetes were more likely to have MHDs. However, the relationship between CDCs and MHDs in either direction was not affected by diabetes type (P > 0.05 for interaction effects)., Conclusions: We found a consistent bidirectional association between CDCs and MHDs across the life span, highlighting the important relationship between CDCs and MHDs. Prevention and treatment of either comorbidity may help reduce the risk of developing the other., (© 2024 by the American Diabetes Association.)

- Abstract
The double burden of tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a major public health challenge that demands urgent and integrated approaches. The interplay between these two chronic conditions presents unique clinical and public health management challenges, as well as social and economic implications. We explored the bidirectional relationship between TB and DM, emphasizing how DM increases susceptibility to TB and complicates its management, while TB may exacerbate glycemic control in diabetic patients. This review underscores the challenges associated with the management of both diseases, obstacles in screening TB patients for DM and TB preventive therapy for DM since inadequate glycemic control can impact treatment outcomes. Several studies have investigated the disease interplay; however, the results have been equivocal, and this may be exerting negative impacts on the disease prevention and treatment. TB-diabetes comorbidity has been linked to poor treatment outcomes whereas TB prevention in people with DM at present is a dilemma. In addition to highlighting how urgent it is to address this comorbidity, this review offers a road map for better prevention, treatment, and control of several factors underlying the TB-diabetes syndemic interaction., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Aims: To examine the impact of current age, age at diagnosis, and duration of diabetes on the incidence rate of complications among people with type 2 diabetes., Methods: Baseline data from 19,327 individuals with type 2 diabetes in the UK Biobank were analysed. Poisson regression was used to model incidence rates by current age, age at diagnosis, and duration of diabetes for the following outcomes: myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), stroke, end-stage kidney diseases (ESKD), chronic kidney diseases (CKD), liver diseases, depression, and anxiety., Results: The mean age at baseline was 60.2 years, and median follow-up was 13.9 years. Diabetes duration was significantly longer among those with younger-onset type 2 diabetes (diagnosed at <40 years) compared to later-onset type 2 diabetes (diagnosed at ≥40 years), 16.2 and 5.3 years, respectively. Incidence rates of MI, HF, stroke, and CKD had strong positive associations with age and duration of diabetes, whereas incidence rates of ESKD liver diseases, and anxiety mainly depended on duration of diabetes. The incidence rates of depression showed minor variation by age and duration of diabetes and were highest among those diagnosed at earlier ages. No clear evidence of an effect of age of onset of diabetes on risk of complications was apparent after accounting for current age and duration of diabetes., Conclusions: Our study indicates age at diagnosis of diabetes does not significantly impact the incidence of complications, independently of the duration of diabetes. Instead, complications are primarily influenced by current age and diabetes duration., (© 2024 Diabetes UK.)

- Abstract
Aims: The direct cost of diabetes to the UK health system was estimated at around £10 billion in 2012. This analysis updates that estimate using more recent and accurate data sources., Methods: A pragmatic review of relevant data sources for UK nations was conducted, including population-level data sets and published literature, to generate estimates of costs separately for Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes. A comprehensive cost framework, developed in collaboration with experts, was used to create a population-based cost of illness model. The key driver of the analysis was prevalence of diabetes and its complications. Estimates were made of the excess costs of diagnosis, treatment and diabetes-related complications compared with the general UK population. Estimates of the indirect costs of diabetes focused on productivity losses due to absenteeism and premature mortality., Results: The direct costs of diabetes in 2021/22 for the UK were estimated at £10.7 billion, of which just over 40% related to diagnosis and treatment, with the rest relating to the excess costs of complications. Indirect costs were estimated at £3.3 billion., Conclusions: Diabetes remains a considerable cost burden in the UK, and the majority of those costs are still spent on potentially preventable complications. Although rates of some complications are reducing, prevalence continues to increase and effective approaches to primary and secondary prevention continue to be needed. Improvements in data capture, data quality and reporting, and further research on the human and financial implications of increasing incidence of Type 2 diabetes in younger people are recommended., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Glycaemic control is essential for improving the quality of life in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Untreated hyperglycaemia can result in numerous severe and life-threatening complications, such as damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and peripheral vascular system. Appropriate glycaemic control and management is fundamental to prevent and delay diabetes complications. Therefore, this study aims to assess the prevalence of poor glycaemic control, its associated factors, and the prevalence of diabetes-related complications among DM patients., Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 340 DM patients treated at Bugando Medical Center from 4th - 30th April 2023 to determine the prevalence of poor glycaemic control and its predictors. Secondary data from 7952 DM patients treated between April 2022 and 30th May 2023 were used to determine DM-related complications. STATA 15 version …was used for analysis., Results: Out of 340 patients, 66.4% had poor glycaemic control with HbA1c or Random Blood Glucose greater than 7% or 7mmol/L, respectively. Older age, duration of DM of more than 10 years, insulin therapy, and those unaware of glycaemic target goals were factors associated with poor glycaemic control. (AOR: 2.46, 95% CI: 1.28-6.01, P = 0.03), (AOR: 3.15, 95% CI: 2.22-6.55, P = 0.016), (AOR: 3.07, 95% CI: 2.10-6.12, P = 0.022) and (AOR: 3.42, 95% CI: 2.17-5.97, P = 0.001), respectively. Of the 7952 patient records reviewed indicated that 44.5% had complications, of which 25.8% had neurological complications and 55.3% had multiple complications., Conclusion: Two-third of DM patients failed to achieve good glycaemic control and about half of the patient's records reviewed indicated they developed diabetic complications. Thus appropriate interventions are necessary to improve glycaemic control and prevent or control complications among DM patients., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Muchunguzi et al.

- Abstract
Background: Previous studies examined the association of Helicobacter pylori infection (H. pylori) with complications of diabetes, but the results have been inconsistent. The aim of this study of patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D) was to determine the association of H. pylori infection with the major complications of diabetes., Methods: This single-center retrospective study examined patients with T2D who received H. pylori testing between January 2016 and December 2021. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association of H. pylori infection with four major complications of diabetes., Results: We examined 960 patients with T2D, and 481 of them (50.1%) were positive for H. pylori. H. pylori infection was significantly associated with diabetic nephropathy (odds ratio [OR] = 1.462; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.006,2.126; P = 0.046). In addition, the co-occurrence of H. pylori positivity with hypertension (OR = 4.451; 95% CI: 2.351,8.427; P < 0.001), with glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) of at least 8% (OR = 2.925; 95% CI: 1.544,5.541; P = 0.001), and with diabetes duration of at least 9 years (OR = 3.305; 95% CI:1.823,5.993; P < 0.001) further increased the risk of diabetic nephropathy. There was no evidence of an association of H. pylori infection with retinopathy, neuropathy, or peripheral vascular disease., Conclusions: Our study of T2D patients indicated that those with H. pylori infections had an increased risk of nephropathy, and this risk was greater in patients who also had hypertension, an HbA1c level of 8% or more, and diabetes duration of 9 years or more., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Ethiopia faces a significant challenge with increasing non-communicable diseases like diabetes, ranking among the top four in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is a lack of research on how lifestyle affects chronic complications of diabetes in Ethiopia, highlighting the need for urgent exploration to develop better intervention strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the link between lifestyle factors and chronic complications of diabetes in public health hospitals in Southwest Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study involving 389 diabetes patients from Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital (MTUTH) and Gebretsadik Shawo General Hospital (GSGH) in Southwest Ethiopia was conducted. Data collection methods included interviewer-administered questionnaires, patient medical record reviews, physical examination, and serum analysis. SPSS version 25 was used for data analysis, including descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Statistical significance was determined at a p-value < 0.05. The study revealed a 32.1% prevalence of chronic complications of diabetes, with 13.4% having chronic kidney disease, 8.0% experiencing visual disturbances, and 16.7% suffering from peripheral sensory pain. After adjusting for confounding variables, age (41-60 years [AOR = 1.77; 95% CI 1.01, 3.15] and > 60 years [AOR = 2.18; 95% CI 1.20, 4.33]), duration of diabetes mellitus (> 6 years [AOR = 2.90; 95% CI 1.74, 4.85]), alcohol consumption [AOR = 2.30; 95% CI 1.33, 3.98], physical inactivity [AOR = 2.43; 95% CI 1.38, 4.27], and body mass index (underweight [AOR = 7.66; 95% CI 1.68, 34.8] and obese [AOR = 3.53; 95% CI 1.84, 10.5]) were significantly associated with chronic complications of diabetes. Chronic complications of diabetes are a major problem in the study area. Lifestyle factors strongly influence chronic diabetes complications, highlighting the importance of preventive measures. Implementing health education and prevention programs focusing on modifiable lifestyle factors is crucial., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Novel diabetes phenotypes were proposed by the Europeans through cluster analysis, but Chinese community diabetes populations might exhibit different characteristics. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics of novel diabetes subgroups under data-driven analysis in Chinese community diabetes populations., Methods: We used K-means cluster analysis in 6369 newly diagnosed diabetic patients from eight centers of the REACTION (Risk Evaluation of cAncers in Chinese diabeTic Individuals) study. The cluster analysis was performed based on age, body mass index, glycosylated hemoglobin, homeostatic modeled insulin resistance index, and homeostatic modeled pancreatic β-cell functionality index. The clinical features were evaluated with the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was done to compare chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease risks between subgroups., Results: Overall, 2063 (32.39%), 658 (10.33%), 1769 (27.78%), and 1879 (29.50%) populations were assigned to severe obesity-related and insulin-resistant diabetes (SOIRD), severe insulin-deficient diabetes (SIDD), mild age-associated diabetes mellitus (MARD), and mild insulin-deficient diabetes (MIDD) subgroups, respectively. Individuals in the MIDD subgroup had a low risk burden equivalent to prediabetes, but with reduced insulin secretion. Individuals in the SOIRD subgroup were obese, had insulin resistance, and a high prevalence of fatty liver, tumors, family history of diabetes, and tumors. Individuals in the SIDD subgroup had severe insulin deficiency, the poorest glycemic control, and the highest prevalence of dyslipidemia and diabetic nephropathy. Individuals in MARD subgroup were the oldest, had moderate metabolic dysregulation and the highest risk of cardiovascular disease., Conclusion: The data-driven approach to differentiating the status of new-onset diabetes in the Chinese community was feasible. Patients in different clusters presented different characteristics and risks of complications., (© 2024 The Author(s).

- Abstract
Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is known to induce a wide range of harmful effects on several organs, notably leading to ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). However, the relationship between DM and IEM is not fully elucidated. We aimed to determine the relationship between DM and IEM and to evaluate the impact of DM's end organ complications on IEM severity., Methods: A multicenter cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing high-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) was performed. We reviewed medical records of patients diagnosed with IEM using HREM, encompassing data on demographics, DM history, antidiabetic and other medications as well as comorbidities., Key Results: Two hundred and forty six subjects met the inclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in any of the HREM parameters between diabetics and nondiabetics. Out of 246 patients, 92 were diabetics. Diabetics with neuropathy presented a significantly lower distal contractile integral (DCI) value compared to those without neuropathy (248.2 ± 226.7 mmHg·cm·sec vs. 375.6 ± 232.4 mmHg·cm·sec; p = 0.02) Similarly, the DCI was lower in diabetics with retinopathy compared to those without retinopathy (199.9 ± 123.1 mmHg·cm·sec vs. 335.4 ± 251.7 mmHg·cm·sec; p = 0.041). Additionally, a significant difference was observed in DCI values among DM patients with ≥2 comorbidities compared to those without comorbidities (224.8 ± 161.0 mmHg·cm·sec vs. 394.2 ± 243.6 mmHg·cm·sec; p = 0.025). Around 12.6% of the variation in DCI could be explained by its linear relationship with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), with a regression coefficient (β) of -55.3., Conclusion & Inferences: DM is significantly associated with IEM in patients with neuropathy, retinopathy, or multiple comorbidities. These results are pivotal for tailoring patient-specific management approaches., (© 2024 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Aims: To collect all available evidence on the effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) as a risk factor for pneumococcal disease incidence and related complications, and on the efficacy/effectiveness of vaccines in patients with DM., Methods: Two distinct systematic searches on MEDLINE, Cochrane, ClinicalTrials.gov and EMBASE databases were performed, one for each meta-analysis, collecting all observational (cohort and case-control) studies and randomized clinical trials performed on humans up to June 1st, 2023., Results: We retrieved 36 observational studies comparing risk for pneumococcal disease and related complications in people with or without DM, and 11 studies (1 randomized clinical trial and 10 observational studies) assessing conjugated and polysaccaridic vaccines efficacy/effectiveness on preventing such outcomes. People with DM were at higher risk for Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (unadjusted OR 2.42 [2.00; 2.92]); Case-Fatality Rate (unadjusted OR 1.61 [1.25; 2.07], Pneumococcal pneumonia (unadjusted OR 2.98 [2.76; 3.22), and Intensive care unit admission for pneumococcal disease (unadjusted OR 2.09 [1.20; 3.66]). In diabetic individuals vaccinated with conjugated vaccine, incidence of pneumonia specific for vaccine type in a clinical trial (OR 0.237 [0.008; 0.704]), and hospitalization for overall pneumonia during the year following the polysaccharide vaccination in observational studies (unadjusted OR 0.63 [0.45-0.89]) were significantly lower in comparison with unvaccinated DM subjects, with no significant differences for other outcomes., Conclusions: People with diabetes mellitus are at higher risk for less favourable course of pneumococcal disease and should be therefore targeted in vaccination campaigns; more evidence needs to be collected on vaccination outcomes in people with diabetes., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Objectives: Racial disparity in physical activity in people with diabetes in Brazil remains scarcely investigated. We examined the association between physical activity and diabetes-related complications according to race in the Brazilian population., Study Design: Cross-sectional., Methods: We analyzed data from the 2019 National Health Survey, a population-based survey of Brazilian adults. We used a self-reported questionnaire to assess physical activity during commuting, leisure-time, domestic, and occupational activities. Diabetes-related complications included vision, kidney, and circulatory impairment, foot ulcers, diabetic coma, and all-cause complications. We used robust Poisson regression models with restricted cubic splines to examine the association between physical activity and diabetes-related complications., Results: We included 2529 adults with diabetes (48.9% women; mean age: 53.5 ± 11.9 years). One-third experienced diabetes-related complications. Black adults performed less leisure-time and more occupational and commuting physical activity than White participants. Black participants showed a higher probability of all-cause (1.61; 95%CI: 1.29, 2.02) and vision complications (1.58; 95%CI: 1.23, 2.04) compared to White participants independent of physical activity status. Only leisure-time physical activity was associated with a reduced probability of all-cause complications (PR: 0.78; 0.71, 0.86) whereas commuting and occupational physical activity were not associated with any diabetes-related complications. Physically inactive, Brown adults showed a higher probability of kidney, circulatory, vision, and all-cause complications than active, White adults. However, physical activity attenuated the probability of these complications in Brown participants., Conclusion: The association between physical activity and diabetes-related complications is domain-specific. We revealed a racial disparity in physical activity in people with diabetes in Brazil., (Copyright © 2024 The Royal Society for Public Health. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background: Anemia is a common comorbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly in older adults. However, there is a lack of data on the prevalence and the characteristics of anemia in this population in Spain., Objective: To describe the prevalence and the characteristics of anemia in patients with DM aged 50 or older (PDM50) in a healthcare district in the province of Cádiz., Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted that included outpatient's laboratory tests (OLT) performed over 30 months at PDM50., Results: The prevalence of anemia was 29.9% (95% CI: 28.7%-31.1%), predominating in women (33.3% vs 26.7%; P < 0.01), in older people stratified by decades (61.7% in 9th decade vs 12% in 5th decade; P < 0.01), and in those with kidney disease (44.7% vs 28%; P < 0.01). Most cases were mild (68.3%), normocytic (78.7%), and hypochromic (52%). Similarly, moderate-to-severe anemia was more frequent in women (39% vs 23%), their prevalence increased with age (45% in the 9th decade vs 24% in the 5th decade), and with the progression of kidney damage, either measured by a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (49% in G4 vs 25% in G1), or the presence of albuminuria (P < 0.01). No association was found between DM control, based on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and anemia in either sex (P = 0.887)., Conclusion: This study describes a high prevalence of anemia in PDM50, particularly in women, in the most advantageous people and in the presence of kidney disease, even in early stages, highlighting the clinical importance of this coexistence., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and Sociedad Española de Medicina Interna (SEMI).

- Abstract
Introduction: Fluid overload is a known complication in patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly those with cardiovascular and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study investigates the impact of fluid overload on healthcare utilisation and its association with diabetes-related complications., Method: Electronic medical records from the SingHealth Diabetes Registry (2013-2022) were analysed. Hospitalisations due to fluid overload were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) discharge codes. Trends were examined using Joinpoint regression, and associations were assessed with generalised estimating equation models., Results: Over a period of 10 years, 259,607 individuals treated at primary care clinics and tertiary hospitals were studied. The incidence of fluid overload-related hospitalisations decreased from 2.99% (n=2778) in 2013 to 2.18% (n=2617) in 2017. However, this incidence increased from 2.42% (n=3091) in 2018 to 3.71% (n=5103) in 2022. The strongest associations for fluid overload-related hospitalisation were found with CKD stages G5 (odds ratio [OR] 6.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.26-6.99), G4 (OR 5.55, 95% CI 5.26-5.86) and G3b (OR 3.18, 95% CI 3.02-3.35), as well as with ischaemic heart disease (OR 3.97, 95% CI 3.84-4.11), acute myocardial infarction (OR 3.07, 95% CI 2.97-3.18) and hypertension (OR 3.90, 95% CI 3.45-4.41). Additionally, the prevalence of stage G5 CKD among patients with fluid overload increased between 2018 and 2022., Conclusion: Our study revealed a significant increase in fluid overload-related hospitalisations and extended lengths of stay, likely driven by severe CKD. This underscores an urgent need for initiatives aimed at slowing CKD progression and reducing fluid overload-related hospitalisations in diabetes patients., Competing Interests: All authors declare no relevant conflict of interest and no financial interest in this manuscript.

- Abstract
Pancreatic cancer presents a critical health issue characterized by low survival rates. Identifying risk factors in specific populations, such as those with diabetes, is crucial for early detection and improved outcomes. This study aimed to identify risk factors for pancreatic cancer in diabetic patients using a longitudinal cohort from the Shizuoka Kokuho database, spanning April 2012 to September 2021. Diabetic patients were identified and monitored for the onset of pancreatic cancer. Factors analyzed included age, sex, the Elixhauser comorbidity index, and specific comorbidities. Statistical analyses involved univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression. The study identified 212,775 as diabetic patients and 1755 developed pancreatic cancer during the period. The annual incidence rate of pancreatic cancer in this group was 166.7 cases per 100,000 person-years. The study identified older age, male sex, a history of liver disease, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cystic lesions as significant risk factors for pancreatic cancer in diabetic patients. The study also highlighted the absence of a significant association between diabetes type or diabetic complications and the onset of pancreatic cancer. These findings may aid in the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in diabetic patients and may inform revisions in screening practices in diabetic patients., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Inappropriate management of blood sugar in patients with diabetes mellitus leads to micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications, subsequently leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. In addition, diabetes independently increases the occurrence of cognitive impairment complicated by dementia. Scientific evidence on the magnitude of cognitive impairment will provide a sound basis for the determination of healthcare needs and the planning of effective healthcare services. Despite this, there are no comprehensive data on the prevalence and associated factors of cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes in Africa., Methods: To identify relevant articles for this review, we searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar. After extraction, the data were imported into Stata software version 11 (Stata Corp., TX, USA) for further analysis. The random-effects model, specifically the DerSimonian and Laird (D+L) pooled estimation method, was used due to the high heterogeneity between the included articles. Begg's and Egger's regression tests were used to determine the evidence of publication bias. Sub-group analyses and sensitivity analyses were also conducted to handle heterogeneity., Results: The pooled prevalence of cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes in Africa is found to be 43.99% (95% CI: 30.15-57.83, p < 0.001). According to our analysis, primary level of education [pooled odds ratio (POR) = 6.08, 95% CI: 3.57-10.36, I
2 = 40.7%], poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (POR = 5.85, 95% CI: 1.64-20.92, I2 = 87.8%), age above 60 years old (POR = 3.83, 95% 95% CI: 1.36-10.79, I2 = 63.7%), and diabetes duration greater than 10 years (POR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.07-1.19, I2 = 0.0%) were factors associated with cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes., Conclusion: Based on our systematic review, individuals with diabetes mellitus exhibit a substantial prevalence rate (43.99%) of cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment was found to be associated with factors such as primary level of education, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, age above 60 years, and diabetes duration greater than 10 years. Developing suitable risk assessment tools is crucial to address uncontrolled hyperglycemia effectively., Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD42024561484., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Chekol Tassew, Ferede and Zeleke.)- Published

- Abstract
Context: The presence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease, but is often underdiagnosed., Objective: To develop machine learning (ML) models for risk assessment of MASLD occurrence in patients with DM., Methods: Feature selection determined the discriminative parameters, utilized to classify DM patients as those with and without MASLD. The performance of the multiple logistic regression model was quantified by sensitivity, specificity, and percentage of correctly classified patients, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Decision curve analysis (DCA) assessed the model's net benefit for alternative treatments., Results: We studied 2000 patients with DM (mean age 58.85 ± 17.37 years; 48% women). Eight parameters: age, body mass index, type of DM, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, platelet count, hyperuricaemia, and treatment with metformin were identified as discriminative. The experiments for 1735 patients show that 744/991 (75.08%) and 586/744 (78.76%) patients with/without MASLD were correctly identified (sensitivity/specificity: 0.75/0.79). The area under ROC (AUC) was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.82-0.86), while DCA showed a higher clinical utility of the model, ranging from 30% to 84% threshold probability. Results for 265 test patients confirm the model's generalizability (sensitivity/specificity: 0.80/0.74; AUC: 0.81 [95% CI, 0.76-0.87]), whereas unsupervised clustering identified high-risk patients., Conclusion: A ML approach demonstrated high performance in identifying MASLD in patients with DM. This approach may facilitate better risk stratification and cardiovascular risk prevention strategies for high-risk patients with DM at risk of MASLD., (© The Author(s) 2024.

- Abstract
Background: The global prevalence of diabetes is similar in men and women; however, there is conflicting evidence regarding sex differences in diabetes-related complications. The aim of this study was to investigate sex differences in incident microvascular and macrovascular complications among adults with diabetes., Methods: This prospective cohort study linked data from the 45 and Up Study, Australia, to administrative health records. The study sample included 25 713 individuals (57% men), aged ≥45 years, with diabetes at baseline. Incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), eye, lower limb, and kidney complications were determined using hospitalisation data and claims for medical services. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between sex and incident complications., Results: Age-adjusted incidence rates per 1000 person years for CVD, eye, lower limb, and kidney complications were 37, 52, 21, and 32, respectively. Men had a greater risk of CVD (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.51, 95% CI 1.43 to 1.59), lower limb (aHR 1.47, 95% CI 1.38 to 1.57), and kidney complications (aHR 1.55, 95% CI 1.47 to 1.64) than women, and a greater risk of diabetic retinopathy (aHR 1.14, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.26). Over 10 years, 44%, 57%, 25%, and 35% of men experienced a CVD, eye, lower limb, or kidney complication, respectively, compared with 31%, 61%, 18%, and 25% of women. Diabetes duration (<10 years vs ≥10 years) had no substantial effect on sex differences in complications., Conclusions: Men with diabetes are at greater risk of complications, irrespective of diabetes duration. High rates of complications in both sexes highlight the importance of targeted complication screening and prevention strategies from diagnosis., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a worldwide pandemic affecting 500 million people. It is known to be associated with increased susceptibility to soft tissue infections (STI). Despite being a major public health burden, the literature relating the effects of DM and the presentation, severity and healing of STIs in general surgical patients remain limited., Method: We conducted a retrospective review of all patients admitted with STI in a tertiary teaching hospital over a 12-month period. Patient demographics and surgical outcomes were collected and analysed., Results: During the study period, 1059 patients were admitted for STIs (88% required surgery). DM was an independent risk factor for LOS. Diabetic patients presented with higher body-mass index (28 vs. 26), larger abscess size (24 vs. 14 cm
2 ) and had a longer length of stay (4.4 days vs. 2.9 days). They also underwent a higher proportion of wide debridement and application of negative pressure wound therapy (42% vs. 35%). More diabetic patients underwent subsequent re-operation within the same sitting (8 vs. 4). Diabetic patients were two times more likely to present with carbuncles (p = 0.02)., Conclusion: The incidence of STIs among DM patients represent a significant disease burden, surgeons should consider intensive patient counselling and partnering with primary care providers in order to help reduce the incidence of future STI admissions based upon lifestyle modification and glucose control., (© 2024.

Objective: To evaluate the association between type 1 diabetes (T1D)/type 2 diabetes (T2D) and periodontitis and assess the influence of periodontitis on diabetes-related complications., Design: Observational study; longitudinal analysis of register data., Setting: Swedish primary care centres, hospitals and dental clinics reporting to nationwide healthcare registers (2010-2020)., Participants: 28 801 individuals with T1D (13 022 women; mean age 42 years) and 57 839 individuals without diabetes (non-T1D; 26 271 women; mean age 43 years). 251 645 individuals with T2D (110 627 women; mean age 61 years) and 539 805 individuals without diabetes (non-T2D; 235 533 women; mean age 60 years). Diabetes and non-diabetes groups were matched for age, gender and county of residence., Main Outcome Measures: Prevalent periodontitis, diabetes-related complications (retinopathy, albuminuria, stroke and ischaemic heart disease) and mortality., Results: Periodontitis was more common among T2D (22%) than non-T2D (17%). Differences were larger in younger age groups (adjusted RR at age 30-39 years 1.92; 95% CI 1.81 to 2.03) and exacerbated by poor glycaemic control. Periodontitis prevalence was 13% in T1D and 11% in non-T1D; only the subgroup with poor glycaemic control was at higher risk for periodontitis. Periodontitis was associated with a higher incidence of retinopathy (T1D: HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.14; T2D: HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.10) and albuminuria (T1D: HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.23; T2D: HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.11). Periodontitis was not associated with a higher risk for stroke, cardiovascular disease or higher mortality in T1D/T2D., Conclusions: The association between T2D and periodontitis was strong and exacerbated by poor glycaemic control. For T1D, the association to periodontitis was limited to subgroups with poor glycaemic control. Periodontitis contributed to an increased risk for retinopathy and albuminuria in T1D and T2D., Competing Interests: Competing interests: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form at http://www.icmje.org/disclosure-of-interest/ and declare: ATE, CT, TB and JD had financial support from the Eklund Foundation (grant 2018-132) and TUA Research Funding (grants TUAGBG-919531 & TUAGBG-979382) for the submitted work; CT serves as a consultant for PreBiomics S.r.I (outside the present work); TB serves as an advisor for the Swedish Quality Registry for Caries and Periodontal Diseases (SKaPa); KEO serves as the director of the Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR) and has received fees for lecturing and/or honoraria for consulting from Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and Abbot Diabetes Care (all outside the present work); no other relationships or activities that could appear to have influenced the submitted work., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

- Abstract
Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) represents a critical and potentially lethal condition that typically develops in individuals with liver cirrhosis. This meta-analysis aimed to assess diabetes mellitus (DM) as a risk factor for SBP in liver cirrhotic patients., Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, fifteen studies were included, for a total of 76 815 patients. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). We represented the results as risk ratios (RR) with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) using RevMan software. Additionally, we pooled the hazard ratios (HR) for developing SBP in patients with DM from the included studies., Results: The meta-analysis shows a significantly increased risk of SBP in cirrhotic patients with DM (HR: 1.26; 95% CI [1.05-1.51], P =.01; HR: 1.70; 95% CI [1.32-2.18], P <.001)., Conclusions: The study signifies that DM is an independent risk factor for SBP, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive measures in this specific population.

- Abstract
An association between diabetes and infection has been recognised for many years, with infection being an important cause of death and morbidity in people with diabetes. The COVID-19 pandemic has re-kindled an interest in the complex relationship between diabetes and infection. Some infections occur almost exclusively in people with diabetes, often with high mortality rates without early diagnosis and treatment. However, more commonly, diabetes is a complicating factor in many infections. A reciprocal relationship occurs whereby certain infections and their treatments may also increase the risk of diabetes. People with diabetes have a 1.5- to 4-fold increased risk of infection. The risks are the most pronounced for kidney infection, osteomyelitis and foot infection, but are also increased for pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, skin infection and general sepsis. Outcomes from infection are worse in people with diabetes, with the most notable example being a twofold higher rate of death from COVID-19. Hyperglycaemia has deleterious effects on the immune response. Vascular insufficiency and neuropathy, together with altered skin, mucosal and gut microbial colonisation, contribute to the increased risk of infection. Vaccination is important in people with diabetes although the efficacy of certain immunisations may be compromised, particularly in the presence of hyperglycaemia. The principles of treatment largely follow those of the general population with certain notable exceptions., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Purpose of Review: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in people who have diabetes. Racial and ethnic minorities with diabetes have suboptimal management of cardiovascular risk factors, leading to higher mortality. Social and structural determinants of health are external factors that influence an individual's ability to choose positive health behaviors. In this review, we will discuss cardiovascular complications in people who have diabetes and their relationship to social determinants of health (SDOH)., Recent Findings: Recent innovations in diabetes treatment, including new devices and medications, have improved care and survival. However, disparities in the availability of these treatments to racial and ethnic minorities may contribute to continued inequities in CVD outcomes. Racial/ethnic disparities in CVD relate to inequities in economic opportunity, education and health literacy, neighborhoods and social cohesion, and health care access and quality driven by structural racism., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Many people with diabetes mellitus experience minimal or no complications. Our objective was to determine the proportion of Alaska Native people who experienced four major complications or mortality and to identify factors that may be associated with these outcomes. We used records in a diabetes registry and clinical and demographic variables in our analyses. We used logistic regression and Cox Proportional Hazards models to evaluate associations of these parameters with death and complications that occurred prior to 2013. The study included 591 Alaska Native people with non-type 1 diabetes mellitus, diagnosed between 1986 and 1992. Over 60% of people in this study remained free of four major diabetes-related complications for the remainder of life or throughout the approximately 20-year study period. Lower BMI, higher age at diagnosis of diabetes, and use of at least one diabetes medication were associated with death and a composite of four complications. A majority of Alaska Native people with DM had none of four major complications over a 20-year period. Lower BMI and use of diabetes medications were associated with higher hazard for some deleterious outcomes. This suggests that goals in care of elders should be carefully individualised. In addition, we discuss several programme factors that we believe contributed to favourable outcomes.

Abstract Background We quantified, among diabetic adults, the frequency, costs, and factors associated with visits to the emergency department (EDs) and subsequent hospitalizations for acute hypoglycaemic and hyperglycaemic events. Methods We included adults with diabetes residing in the Milan Agency for Health Protection between 2015 and 2017. From healthcare databases, we identified demographic variables, comorbidities, type of treatment, insulin treatment duration, previous ED attendances for acute glycaemic events, and two indicators of glycaemic monitoring. Using a validated ICD-9-CM coding algorithm, we identified all ED attendances for acute glycaemic events from the ED database and calculated their incidence. We computed the direct costs from health databases and presented them as average annual mean costs for those having had at least an ED attendance. The analysis of the association between the number of ED attendances and potential determinants was performed using zero-inflated negative binomial regression models. These two-part models concomitantly estimate two sets of parameters: the odds-ratios (ORs) of having no attendances and the incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of attendance. Results The cohort included 168,285 subjects, 70% of subjects were older than 64 years, 56% were males, and 26% were treated with insulin. The incidence of acute glycaemic events for those attending the ED was 7.0 per 1000 patient-years, followed by hospitalization 26.0% of the time. The total annual direct cost for ED attendances due to acute glycaemic events was 174,000 €. Type of antidiabetic treatment had the strongest association with ED attendances for hypoglycaemia. Patients assuming insulin only had a lower probability of having no attendances (OR compared to those who assumed non-insulin antidiabetic drugs =0.01, 95% CI = 0.00–0.02). These patients also had the highest rate of hyperglycaemic episodes (IRR = 7.7, 95% CI = 5.1–11.7 for insulin only vs. non-insulin antidiabetic drugs). Subjects having had a previous episode of the same type leading to an ED visit had a higher rate of subsequent attendances (IRR for hypoglycaemia = 5.3, 95% CI = 3.9–7.3 and IRR for hyperglycaemia = 3.7, 95% CI = 1.3–10.2). Conclusion Insulin treatment and having had a prior acute glycaemic event leading to an ED visit were major predictors of ED attendance for hyper and hypoglycaemia in a population of adults with diabetes.

- Abstract
Objectives: Periodontitis is a highly prevalent complication of diabetes. However, the association between cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and periodontitis has not yet been evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess if: 1) CFRD is associated with periodontitis among adults with CF, and 2) periodontitis prevalence differs by CF and diabetes status., Methods: This was a pilot cross-sectional study of the association between CFRD and periodontitis in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) (N = 32). Historical non-CF controls (N = 57) from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset were frequency matched to participants with CF on age, sex, diabetes status, and insulin use. We defined periodontitis using the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Periodontology (CDC/AAP) case definition, as the presence of two or more interproximal sites with CAL ≥3 mm and two or more interproximal sites with PD ≥4 mm (not on the same tooth) or one site with PD ≥5 mm. Because NHANES periodontal data were only available for adults ages ≥30 years, our analysis that included non-CF controls focused on this age group (CF N = 19, non-CF N = 57). Based on CF and diabetes status, we formed four groups: CFRD, CF and no diabetes, non-CF with diabetes, and non-CF and no diabetes (healthy). We used the Fisher's exact test for hypotheses testing., Results: There was no association between CFRD and periodontitis for participants with CF ages 22-63 years (CFRD 67% vs. CF no diabetes 53%, P = 0.49), this was also true for those ages ≥30 years (CFRD 78% vs. CF no diabetes 60%, P = 0.63). For the two CF groups, the prevalence of periodontitis was significantly higher than for healthy controls (CFRD 78% vs. healthy 7%, P<0.001; CF no diabetes 60% vs. healthy 7%, P = 0.001) and not significantly different than the prevalence for non-CF controls with diabetes (CFRD 78% vs. non-CF with diabetes 56%, P = 0.43; CF no diabetes 60% vs. non-CF with diabetes 56%, P = 0.99)., Conclusion: Among participants with CF, CFRD was not associated with periodontitis. However, regardless of diabetes status, participants with CF had increased prevalence of periodontitis compared to healthy controls., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Alkhateeb et al.

- Abstract
Background: Hospitalizations due to diabetes complications are potentially preventable with effective management of the condition in the outpatient setting. Diabetes-related hospitalization (DRH) rates can provide valuable information about access, utilization, and efficacy of healthcare services. However, little is known about the local geographic distribution of DRH rates in Florida. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate the geographic distribution of DRH rates at the ZIP code tabulation area (ZCTA) level in Florida, identify significant local clusters of high hospitalization rates, and describe characteristics of ZCTAs within the observed spatial clusters., Methods: Hospital discharge data from 2016 to 2019 were obtained from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration through a Data Use Agreement with the Florida Department of Health. Raw and spatial empirical Bayes smoothed DRH rates were computed at the ZCTA level. High-rate DRH clusters were identified using Tango's flexible spatial scan statistic. Choropleth maps were used to display smoothed DRH rates and significant high-rate spatial clusters. Demographic, socioeconomic, and healthcare-related characteristics of cluster and non-cluster ZCTAs were compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables and Chi-square test for categorical variables., Results: There was a total of 554,133 diabetes-related hospitalizations during the study period. The statewide DRH rate was 8.5 per 1,000 person-years, but smoothed rates at the ZCTA level ranged from 0 to 101.9. A total of 24 significant high-rate spatial clusters were identified. High-rate clusters had a higher percentage of rural ZCTAs (60.9%) than non-cluster ZCTAs (41.8%). The median percent of non-Hispanic Black residents was significantly (p < 0.0001) higher in cluster ZCTAs than in non-cluster ZCTAs. Populations of cluster ZCTAs also had significantly (p < 0.0001) lower median income and educational attainment, and higher levels of unemployment and poverty compared to the rest of the state. In addition, median percent of the population with health insurance coverage and number of primary care physicians per capita were significantly (p < 0.0001) lower in cluster ZCTAs than in non-cluster ZCTAs., Conclusions: This study identified geographic disparities of DRH rates at the ZCTA level in Florida. The identification of high-rate DRH clusters provides useful information to guide resource allocation such that communities with the highest burdens are prioritized to reduce the observed disparities. Future research will investigate determinants of hospitalization rates to inform public health planning, resource allocation and interventions., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Lord, Odoi.

- Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to be a cause of cervical internal carotid artery stenosis (ICS). In this study, we investigated the natural history of asymptomatic ICS in DM patients without surgical intervention., Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 148 DM patients with asymptomatic ICS treated medically at the Kansai Electric Power Hospital from April 2013 to March 2023, inclusive. We examined the incidence of ischemic stroke with ICS and evaluated the patients' clinical characteristics and imaging findings., Results: Ischemic stroke with ICS occurred in 7 patients (4.7 %), and only smoking history was significantly correlated with the incidence of ischemic stroke (p = 0.04)., Discussion: The incidence rate of ischemic stroke with ICS in this study (4.7%) was comparable to the previous report. The result that, the correlated factors of the incidence of ischemic stroke in DM patients with ICS was only smoking history, seemed acceptable. However, prospective studies with a larger number of cases may be needed in the future to determine the correlated factors more eligibly., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Aim: To evaluate whether 1-hour plasma glucose (1hPG) can be a comparable measurement to 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) in identifying individuals at high risk of developing diabetes., Methods: A total of 1026 non-diabetic subjects in the Da Qing IGT and Diabetes Study were included and classified according to baseline postload 1hPG. The participants were followed up and assessed at 6-, 20- and 30year follow-up for outcomes including diabetes, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, and microvascular disease. We then conducted a proportional hazards analysis in this post hoc study to determine the risks of developing type 2 diabetes and its complications in a '1hPG-normal' group (1hPG <8.6 mmol/L) and a '1hPG-high' group (≥8.6 mmol/L). The predictive values of 1hPG and 2hPG were evaluated using a time-dependent receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve., Results: Compared with the 1hPG-normal group, the 1hPG-high group had increased risk of diabetes (hazard ratio [HR] 4.45, 95% CI 3.43-5.79), all-cause mortality (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.07-2.01), CVD mortality (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.16-2.95), CVD events (HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.03-1.86) and microvascular disease (HR 1.70, 95% CI: 1.03-2.79) after adjusting for confounders. 1hPG exhibited a higher area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting diabetes than 2hPG during the long-term follow-up (AUC [1hPG vs. 2hPG]: 10 years: 0.86 vs. 0.84, p = 0.08; 20 years: 0.88 vs. 0.87, p = 0.04; 30 years: 0.85 vs. 0.82, p = 0.009)., Conclusions: Elevated 1hPG level (≥8.6 mmol/L) was associated with increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and its long-term complications, and could be considered as a suitable measurement for identifying individuals at high risk of type 2 diabetes., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents an increasing public health problem in Peru. This study aims to estimate the national economic burden of this disease for the public funder, the social security, and private sector insurers., Methods: Direct healthcare costs were estimated for a cohort of 45-to-75-year-old adults diagnosed with T2DM in 2019, over a 20-year period. Disease progression was modeled using PROSIT Models and literature, including acute and chronic microvascular and macrovascular complications. Three scenarios of glycemic control were considered: current levels of 35.8% of the population controlled (HbA1c < 7%) (S1); 100% controlled (S2) and; 100% uncontrolled (S3). The impact of diabetes prevalence on overall costs was evaluated in sensitivity analysis., Results: Total national economic burden was estimated at $15,405,448,731; an annual average per patient of $2,158. Total costs would decrease to $12,853,113,596 (-16.6%) in S2 and increase to $16,828,713,495 (+9.2%) in S3. Treating patients with complications and risk factors could cost 6.5 times more, being stroke the complication with the highest impact. Up to a 67.6% increase in total costs was found when increasing T2DM prevalence., Conclusions: T2DM places a heavy burden on the Peruvian healthcare budget that will be even greater if poor glycemic control is maintained.

- Abstract
Hajj is an obligatory duty for all healthy adult Muslims once in the lifetime subjected to the ability. Considering the 10.5 % global prevalence of diabetes coupled with the numbers of Muslims performing the Hajj, ∼ 1.8 million in 2023, it is estimated that Muslims with diabetes performing Hajj may exceed 340,000 this year. During Hajj the pattern and amount of their meal, fluid intake and physical activity are markedly altered. Many people with diabetes insist on doing the Hajj duty, thereby creating a medical challenge for themselves and their health care providers. It is therefore important that medical professionals be aware of the potential risks that may be associated with Hajj. People with diabetes may face many health hazards during Hajj including but not limited to the killer triad which might occur during Hajj: Hypoglycemia, Foot injury and Infections. Many precautions should be taken to prevent and treat these potentially serious complications. Risk stratification, medication adjustments, proper clinical assessment, and education before doing Hajj are crucial., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and the risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) have been linked in previous studies. But the outcomes are still up for debate. This meta-analysis examined how DM affected the likelihood of developing PD., Methods: A comprehensive search of international databases, including Medline (PubMed), Web of Sciences, Scopus, and EMBASE until January 2023, was conducted to assess the relationship between DM and PD. Cohort and case-control studies were included. Subgroup analysis was carried out based on the duration of PD, continent, age, PD criteria, DM criteria, and effect size., Results: In the meta-analysis, 25 studies encompassing a total of 39,209,316 participants were incorporated. The collective estimation of the relative risk concerning the association between Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) yielded a value of 1.22 (95% CI 1.08-1.37). Subsequent subgroup analyses unveiled a heightened risk of DM among patients in the Asian demographic, particularly those of a younger age and a longer duration of PD. The findings from our comprehensive meta-analysis underscore a potentially emerging connection between DM and PD., Conclusion: These results showed that people with DM are more susceptible to developing other neurological diseases, such as PD, indicating that efforts are required to prevent the progression of such diseases among individuals with DM., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at high risk of developing multiple complications, affecting their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Existing studies only considered impact of complication on HRQoL in the year of occurrence but not its residual impacts in subsequent years. We investigated temporal impacts of diabetes-related complications on HRQoL in a 12-year prospective cohort of ambulatory Chinese patients with T2D enrolled in the clinic-based Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) Register., Methods: HRQoL utility measures were derived from EuroQol five-dimensional three-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L) questionnaires completed by 19 322 patients with T2D in Hong Kong (2007-2018). Temporal EQ-5D utility decrements associated with subtypes of cardiovascular-renal events were estimated using generalized linear regression model after stepwise selection of covariates with p < .01 as cutoff., Results: In this cohort (mean ± SD age:61.2 ± 11.5 years, 55.3% men, median [interquartile range] duration of diabetes:10.1 [3.0-15.0] years, glycated hemoglobin [HbA
1C ] 7.5 ± 1.5%), EQ-5D utility was 0.860 ± 0.163. The largest HRQoL decrements were observed in year of occurrence of hemorrhagic stroke (-0.230), followed by ischemic stroke (-0.165), peripheral vascular disease (-0.117), lower extremity amputation (-0.093), chronic kidney disease (CKD) G5 without renal replacement therapy (RRT) (-0.079), congestive heart failure (CHF) (-0.061), and CKD G3-G4 without RRT (-0.042). Residual impacts on HRQoL persisted for 2 years after occurrence of CHF or ischemic stroke and 1 year after hemorrhagic stroke or CKD G3-G4 without RRT., Conclusion: This is the first comprehensive report on temporal associations of HRQoL decrements with subtypes of diabetes-related complications in ambulatory Asian patients with T2D. These data will improve the accuracy of cost-effectiveness analysis of diabetes interventions at an individual level in an Asian setting., (© 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices among providers and patients regarding hearing impairment and screening referrals in people with diabetes., Methods: A cross-sectional survey design among health care providers and patients at an academic medical center in Oklahoma was used to gather knowledge, attitudes, and practices data., Results: Only 25.6% of providers selected hearing impairment as a complication of diabetes, whereas 96.7% selected retinopathy, kidney dysfunction, and foot infection. Reported barriers to referring patients for hearing impairment screenings were being unfamiliar with recommended screening frequency (57.3%) and existence of higher priorities (35.4%). When asked to select parts of the body affected by diabetes, 21.0% of patients surveyed selected ears, 88.0% selected feet, and 85.0% selected eyes and kidneys. Fewer patients reported being told hearing impairment is a complication of diabetes compared to retinopathy (8.1% vs 85.9%). Additionally, 24.2% of patients reported having a hearing impairment screening, and 96.0% reported having a dilated eye exam., Conclusions: Most providers and patients at an academic medical center are unaware of the relationship between diabetes and hearing impairment. Providers reported there are several barriers that need to be overcome to refer patients to audiologists., Competing Interests: Declaration of Conflicting InterestsThe authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.

- Abstract
Introduction: The increased prevalence of visual impairment among diabetes patients has become a major global public health problem. Although numerous primary studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of visual impairment and its associated factors among diabetes patients in Ethiopia, these studies presented inconsistent findings. Therefore, this review aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of visual impairment and identify associated factors among diabetes patients., Methods: An extensive search of literature was done on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Sciences databases. A manual search of the reference lists of included studies was performed. A weighted inverse-variance random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled prevalence of visual impairment., Results: A total of 34 eligible primary studies with a sample size of 11,884 participants were included in the final meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of visual impairment was 21.73% (95% CI: 18.15, 25.30; I2 = 96.47%; P<0.001). Diabetes mellitus with a duration of diagnosis ≥10 years [AOR = 3.18, 95% CI: 1.85, 5.49], presence of co-morbid hypertension [AOR = 3.26, 95% CI: 1.93, 5.50], poor glycemic control [AOR = 4.30, 95% CI: 3.04, 6.06], age ≥56 years [AOR = 4.13, 95% CI: 2.27, 7.52], family history of diabetes mellitus [AOR = 4.18 (95% CI: 2.61, 6.69], obesity [AOR = 4.77, 95% CI: 3.00, 7.59], poor physical activity [AOR = 2.46, 95% CI: 1.75, 3.46], presence of visual symptoms [AOR = 4.28, 95% CI: 2.73, 6.69] and no history of eye exam [AOR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.47, 3.57] were significantly associated with visual impairment., Conclusions: The pooled prevalence of visual impairment was high in Ethiopia. Diabetes mellitus with a duration of diagnosis ≥10 years, presence of co-morbid hypertension, poor glycemic control, age ≥56 years, and family history of diabetes mellitus, obesity, poor physical activity, presence of visual symptoms, and no history of eye exam were independent predictors. Therefore, diabetic patients with these identified risks should be screened, and managed early to reduce the occurrence of visual impairment related to diabetes. Moreover, public health policy with educational programs and regular promotion of sight screening for all diabetes patients are needed., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Aytenew et al.

- Abstract
Skin disorders are common in diabetes, affecting both patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. These cutaneous manifestations can be classified into three categories: dermatoses associated with the presence of diabetes, cutaneous complications of diabetes (acute and chronic) and dermatoses linked to antidiabetic treatments. These conditions vary considerably in terms of severity (from insignificant cosmetic problems to life-threatening) and prevalence (from relatively frequent to rare). Despite the high prevalence of diabetes and associated skin disorders, the dermatological manifestations of diabetes are generally neglected and often under-diagnosed. Failure to diagnose and treat skin disorders at an early stage can lead to clinical worsening, whereas early detection and treatment can reduce the risk of serious complications., Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.

- Abstract
Background: Individuals with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of developing various forms of cancer, and the potential biological links between these two diseases are not completely understood., Methods: This was a longitudinal retrospective nationwide cohort study, a study design that allows us to examine the natural course of cancer development over an extended period of time with a large sample size. Initially, 3,111,975 and 22,208,395 eligible patients aged ≥ 20 years with and without diabetes, respectively, were matched by age, sex, and the Charlson comorbidity index. Ultimately, 1,751,457 patients were selected from each group. Stratified populations for diabetic retinopathy (DR) (n = 380,822) and without DR (n = 380,822) as well as proliferative DR (PDR) (n = 141,150) and non-proliferative DR (NPDR) (n = 141,150) were analyzed in this study. The main outcome measure was the first-time diagnosis of cancer during the follow-up period., Results: We observed a 20% higher risk of total cancer incidence [hazard ratios (HR), 1.20; p < 0.001] in the diabetes cohort compared to the non-diabetes cohort. The highest HR was observed for liver and pancreas cancers. Moderately increased risks were observed for oral, colon, gallbladder, reproductive (female), kidney, and brain cancer. Furthermore, there was a borderline significantly increased risk of stomach, skin, soft tissue, female breast, and urinary tract (except kidney) cancers and lymphatic and hematopoietic malignancies. The stratified analysis revealed that the total cancer incidence was significantly higher in the DR cohort compared to the non-DR cohort (HR, 1.31; p < 0.001), and there was a borderline increased risk in the PDR cohort compared to the NPDR cohort (HR, 1.13; p = 0.001)., Conclusions: This study provides large-scale, nationwide, population-based evidence that diabetes is independently associated with an increased risk of subsequent development of total cancer and cancer at specific sites. Notably, this risk may further increase when DR develops., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) is a prevalent condition in those with diabetes, and in severe cases, it may escalate to sepsis. Therefore, it is important to analyze the risk variables associated with sepsis in diabetes individuals with UTI., Methods: This research was a retrospective cross-sectional analysis. From January 2011 to June 2022, a group of individuals with diabetes were identified as having UTI at a tertiary hospital situated in Southeastern China. Patient data, including information on urine culture, was collected retrospectively from a clinical record database. The participants were categorized into the sepsis and non-sepsis groups. The risk variables were derived using both uni-and multiple- variable regression analysis., Results: The research included 1919 patients, of whom 1106 cases (57.63%) had positive urine cultures. In total, 445 blood culture samples were tested, identifying 186 positive cases (41.80%). The prevalence of bacteria in urine and blood samples was highest for Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, respectively. Moreover, 268 individuals (13.97%) exhibited sepsis. The regression analysis indicated a positive correlation between sepsis and albumin (ALB)<34.35 g/L, C-reactive protein (CRP)>55.84 mg/L and white blood cell count (WBC) >8.485 X 109/L in diabetic cases with UTIs. By integrating the three aforementioned parameters, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.809., Conclusions: The early detection of sepsis in diabetic individuals with UTI may be achieved using a comprehensive analysis of CRP, WBC, and ALB test findings., Competing Interests: We declare that no conflict of interest exits in the submission of this manuscript, and manuscript is approved by all authors for publication., (Copyright: © 2024 Wang et al.

- Abstract
Hand infection is a rare complication in patients with diabetes. Its clinical outcomes depend on the severity of hand infection caused by bacteria, but the difference in bacterial species in the regional disparity is unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of tropical and nontropical regions on bacterial species and clinical outcomes for diabetic hand. A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Moreover, the bacterial species and clinical outcomes were analyzed with respect to multicenter wound care in China (nontropical regions). Both mixed bacteria (31.2% vs. 16.6%, p = 0.014) and fungi (7.5% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.017) in the nontropical region were significantly more prevalent than those in the tropical region. Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. were dominant in gram-positive bacteria, and Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Proteus and Pseudomonas in gram-negative bacteria occupied the next majority in the two regions. The rate of surgical treatment in the patients was 31.2% in the nontropical region, which was significantly higher than the 11.4% in the tropical region (p = 0.001). Although the overall mortality was not significantly different, there was a tendency to be increased in tropical regions (6.3%) compared with nontropical regions (0.9%). However, amputation (32.9% vs. 31.3%, p = 0.762) and disability (6.3% vs. 12.2%, p = 0.138) were not significantly different between the two regions. Similar numbers of cases were reported, and the most common bacteria were similar in tropical and nontropical regions in patients with diabetic hand. There were more species of bacteria in the nontropical region, and their distribution was basically similar, except for fungi, which had differences between the two regions. The present study also showed that surgical treatment and mortality were inversely correlated because delays in debridement and surgery can deteriorate deep infections, eventually leading to amputation and even death., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to assess and compare the prevalence of diabetes complications between men and women with Type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as how gender relates to these complications., Methods: In this cross-sectional study, complications of diabetes, including coronary artery disease (CAD), retinopathy, neuropathy and diabetic kidney disease (DKD), were evaluated in 1867 participants with T2D. Additionally, baseline characteristics of the individuals, including anthropometric measurements, metabolic parameters and the use of dyslipidaemia drugs and antihyperglycaemic agents, were assessed. Gender differences in complications were examined using the chi-squared test. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to investigate the relationship between gender and T2D complications, with and without adjusting for the characteristics of the studied population., Results: In the studied population, 62.1% had at least one complication, and complications were 33.5% for DKD, 29.6% for CAD, 22.9% for neuropathy and 19.1% for retinopathy. The prevalence of CAD and neuropathy was higher in men. However, DKD and retinopathy were more prevalent among women. Odds ratios of experiencing any complication, CAD and retinopathy in men compared with women were 1.57 (95% CI: 1.27-2.03), 2.27 (95% CI: 1.72-2.99) and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.52-0.98), respectively, after adjusting for demographic factors, anthropometric measures, metabolic parameters and the consumption of dyslipidaemia drugs and antihyperglycaemic agents., Conclusion: The prevalence of diabetes complications was significantly higher in men with diabetes, highlighting the need for better treatment adherence. CAD was associated with the male gender, whereas retinopathy was associated with the female gender. Men and women with diabetes should be monitored closely for CAD and retinopathy, respectively, regardless of their age, diabetes duration, anthropometric measures, laboratory findings and medications., (© 2024 The Authors.

- 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 HbA
1c 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., (© 2023 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: American Indian and Alaska Native people (AI/AN) bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes. Growing evidence shows significant associations between several acute diabetes complications and dementia among diabetes patients. However, little is known about these relationships among AI/AN adults. Here, we aim to investigate these associations among AI/AN adults., Methods: This cross-sectional study extracted data from the Indian Health Service's (IHS) National Data Warehouse and related administrative databases. A total of 29,337 IHS actual users with diabetes who were 45+ years old during fiscal year 2013 were included. All-cause dementia and diabetes complications were identified using ICD-9 diagnostic codes. Negative binomial regression models were used to evaluate the associations of interest., Results: Nearly 3% of AI/AN diabetes patients had a dementia diagnosis. After controlling for covariates, dementia was associated with a 94% higher rate of severe hypoglycemia (Incidence Rate Ratio [IRR = 1.94, 95% CI:1.50-2.51), 52% higher rate of severe hyperglycemia (IRR = 1.52, 95% CI, 1.11-2.08), and 92% higher rate of any acute complication (IRR = 1.92, 95% CI:1.53-2.41)., Conclusions: AI/AN diabetes patients with dementia suffered from considerably higher rates of acute diabetes complications than their counterparts without dementia. The clinical management of patients with comorbid diabetes and dementia is particularly challenging and may require individualized treatment approaches.

- Abstract
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) remains the most common type of DM and is associat-ed with disabling complications, reduced quality of life and reduced life expectancy. Satisfactory control of carbohydrate metabolism remains the key way to manage them., Aim: To perform a retrospective analysis of carbohydrate metabolism (in terms of glycated hemoglobin - HbA
1c ), the prevalence of complications, and features of hypoglycemic and concomitant therapy in patients with type 2 DM., Materials and Methods: The analysis of sex and age characteristics, achieved level of HbA1c , diabetes complications, sugar-reducing and concomitant therapy according to the data of outpatient records of the patients who are on dispensary registration with an endocrinologist in the Endocrinology Department of the Consultative and Diagnostic Polyclinic of the Tomsk Regional Clinical Hospital in Tomsk was carried out., Results: 546 outpatient medical records of patients with type 2 DM were analysed, among which there were 39.6% men ( n =216) with a history of type 2 DM 8.0 years [3.0; 13.0] , median age 64.0 years [54.5; 71.0] and 60.4% women ( n =330), history of type 2 DM 10.0 years [5.0; 15.0], median age 70.0 years [63.0; 75.0]. The achieved HbA1c level in men was 7.6% [6.3; 9.0] and in women 7.4% [6.4; 9.1]. 19.4% of men and 13.6% of women had an aggravated history of type 2 DM. According to the history, 6.5% of men ( n =14) and 3% of women ( n =10) with type 2 DM had a history of stroke, and myocardial infarction 12% ( n =26) and 1.5% ( n =5), respectively. Among the analysed outpatient records of type 2 DM patients, 18.5% of men ( n =40) and 12.4% of women ( n =41) were found to have diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic retinopathy was reported in 9.3% ( n =20) of men and 4.2% ( n =14) of women. Diabetic macroangiopathies were detected in 29.6% ( n =64) of males and 9.7% ( n =32) of females. Among other chronic complications of DM, diabetic neuroosteoarthropathy was recorded in 1% ( n =2) of males and 3% ( n =10) of females, diabetic polyneuropathy in 25% ( n =54) and 21.5% ( n =71), respectively. Diabetic foot was diagnosed in 1.9% ( n =4) of men and 1.8% ( n =6) of women. Among comorbid pathology, obesity was diagnosed in 45.4% ( n =88) of men and 69.1% ( n =228) of women, dyslipidaemia in 10.2% ( n =22) and 10.6% ( n =35) respectively, hypertension in 39.8% ( n =86) and 32.6% ( n =108) of cases. The diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was verified in 3.7% of men ( n =7) and 1.8% of women ( n =6), chronic heart failure in 7.4% of men ( n =16) and 2.4% of women ( n =8) registered for type 2 DM. According to the analysed outpatient records, 4.1% ( n =23) of patients received diet therapy, 48.3% ( n =263) received monotherapy and 47.6% ( n =260) received combination therapy for type 2 DM. Metformin was the most commonly used monotherapy for type 2 DM 36.1% ( n =197), followed by insulin 6.9% ( n =38), sulfonylurea derivatives - 2.7% ( n =15). Combination of metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (13.9%) was the most commonly used combination therapy., Conclusion: Analysis of the current situation in the diabetology service will help to identify weaknesses and strengths, which is necessary to optimise existing therapeutic approaches in accordance with current clinical recommendations.- Published

- 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., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Tan et al.

- Abstract
Background: Despite the fact that DM patients are living longer, research on the prevalence of MSDs and other related illnesses is still lacking compared to that of other comorbidities. This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed cohort studies to determine the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)., Methods: A comprehensive search of international databases, including Medline (PubMed), Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase, was conducted up to June 2023 to identify relevant studies investigating the association between MSDs and DM., Results: The meta-analysis included ten cohort studies with a total of 308,445 participants. The pooled risk ratio (RR) estimate for the association between MSDs and DM was 1.03 (95% CI 1.00-1.06). Based on subgroup analysis, the association between longer duration (more than 7), European, below the age of 70, and female patients was higher than the others., Conclusion: In conclusion, the results of this meta-analysis suggest that there may be an association between MSDs and diabetes in people with diabetes. These findings add to the existing knowledge on this topic and highlight the importance of recognition and management of MSDs in people with DM. There is a need for further research to investigate the underlying mechanisms and to develop targeted interventions for the prevention and management of MSDs in this population., Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=381787, identifier CRD42022381787., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Azami, Moradkhani, Afraie, Saed, Tapak, Khoramipoor, Khateri and Moradi.)

- Abstract
Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent chronic disease and a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in Canada. We evaluated the burden of T2DM in Alberta, Canada, by estimating the 5-year period prevalence of T2DM and rates of comorbidities and complications/conditions after T2DM., Methods: We conducted a population-based, retrospective study linking administrative health databases. Individuals with T2DM (≥18 years of age) were identified between 2008-2009 and 2018-2019 using a published algorithm, with follow-up data to March 2020. The 5-year period prevalence was estimated for 2014-2015 to 2018-2019. Individuals with newly identified T2DM, ascertained between 2010-2011 and 2017-2018 with a lookback period between 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 and a minimum 1 year of follow-up data, were evaluated for subsequent cardiovascular, diabetic, renal, and other complication/condition frequencies (%) and rates (per 100 person-years). Complications/conditions were stratified by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) status at index and age., Results: The 5-year period prevalence of T2DM was 11,051 per 100,000 persons, with the highest prevalence in men 65 to <75 years of age. There were 195,102 individuals included in the cohort (mean age 56.7±14.7 years). The most frequently reported complications/conditions (rates per 100 person-years) were acute infection (23.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 23.00 to 23.30), hypertension (17.30, 95% CI 16.80 to 17.70), and dyslipidemia (12.20, 95% CI 11.90 to 12.40). Individuals who had an ASCVD event/procedure and those ≥75 years of age had higher rates of complications/conditions., Conclusions: We found that over half of the individuals had hypertension or infection after T2DM. Also, those with ASCVD had higher rates of complications/conditions. Strategies to mitigate complications/conditions after T2DM are required to reduce the burden of this disease on individuals and health-care systems., (Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
