Highlights

• This study showed that glucose levels and physical performance may be useful markers of risk in community-dwelling elderly with impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
• This indicates that a better understanding of the factors potentially responsible for the increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus can help policy makers make decisions about diabetes prevention programs and policies.

Highlights

• Data from the 2013–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) survey indicate that slightly more than six out of 10 Americans with diabetes mellitus (DM) use dietary supplements each month.
• Although dietary supplement use is higher among Americans with DM, it does not appear to be due to DM per se, but rather to other demographic and health-related factors.
• Americans with DM are using certain products to manage their disease, particularly multivitamin–mineral, cinnamon-containing, and chromium-containing supplements.

Highlights

• The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) among patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus in an urban south Indian population is 17.5%.
• There is a significant positive correlation between EDS and glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c.

Highlights

• Structural topological properties were tested in cognitively intact type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.
• Cognitively intact T2DM patients had preserved small-world properties but altered nodal properties.
• Altered nodal properties may predict early cognitive decline in T2DM patients.

Highlights

• Currently available maternal guides do not support all domains of self-care.
• The newly developed self-care educational package is very useful in gestational diabetes.

Highlights

• Effects of a 3-day high-fat diet (HFD) on insulin resistance (IR) and glycolipid metabolism in young obese men with hyperlipidemia was evaluated, with changes in urinary metabolomics profiling after the HFD intervention determined using ultra-HPLC–quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
• Short-term HFD exacerbates IR and glycolipid metabolism disorders, and 17 major metabolites were identified that were associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, glycolipid metabolism and IR; changes in these metabolites suggest metabolic changes in young obese males after the HFD intervention.
• These findings may contribute to an increased understanding of the early biological adaptations of obesity with hyperlipidemia to HFD for early prevention and control of diabetes and IR.

Highlights

• There is considerable community-level clustering in dysglycemia, providing logic for considering community-based prevention strategies.
• There was a positive association of diabetes with higher socioeconomic status.
• There was a strong association of body mass index with prediabetes and diabetes, and our findings suggest the trends are interlinked.
