Highlights

• This paper consolidates research from two different studies in Cambodia illuminating contemporary prevalence rates of diabetes, glucose intolerance, and other non-communicable conditions associated with diabetes.
• Rates of obesity, elevated waist:hip ratio, hypertension, and diabetes were higher in urban than rural areas, with semi-urban areas experiencing intermediate rates for some factors.
• Rates of diabetes in Cambodia may be expected to rise as development continues and urban areas expand. An urgent public health response is needed to address non-communicable diseases in Cambodia.

Highlights

• Among patients with incident ischemic stroke in the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Stroke Study, younger women and women with coronary artery disease (CAD) were more likely to have diabetes, whereas these associations were not significant for men.
• Our findings suggest that there is a sex-specific association between younger age and incident strokes in women with diabetes. Consequently, women with diabetes may benefit from more aggressive risk factor control.

Highlights

• Application of the transdermal pectin–insulin patch provides glycemic and hemodynamic control that attenuates the cardiac hypertrophy and cardiac inflammatory markers in diabetes.
• The observations in this study further reflect on cardiovascular hazards associated with subcutaneously administered insulin.
• Accordingly, the overall results of the study suggest that the pectin–insulin patch may be an alternative therapeutic approach in the management of diabetes.

Highlights

• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been associated with cardiovascular disease.
• Mediterranean type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients have a low prevalence of NAFLD, and T1D patients exhibit a low prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis.
• The present study supports the relationship between NAFLD and subclinical cardiovascular disease even in a Mediterranean area.
