Highlights

• Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) presents with remarkable pathophysiological and phenotypic heterogeneity.
• There is a need for further understanding the complex underlying mechanisms of the disorder.
• Apart from insulin, agents used in type 2 diabetes (T2D) management might have a role in assisting glycemic control and preserving beta cell function in people with LADA.

Highlights

• Hypertension and diabetes are well-known major risk factors for coronary heart disease and diabetes is associated with increased need for repeat revascularization after stent implantation.
• In this study, the cumulative incidences of any repeat revascularization, target lesion revascularization (TLR), and target vessel revascularization (TVR) in the diabetes only group were significantly higher than the hypertension only group after risk adjustment.
• However, the cumulative incidences of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), all-cause death, and recurrent myocardial infarction (Re-MI) were similar between these two groups.

Highlights

• Fetal and early childhood exposure to the Chinese famine exacerbated risk of CVD due to diabetes.
• The targeting of early life nutrition should be considered as an important long-term strategy to prevent CVD, especially in areas affected by famine and other natural disasters.

Highlights

• The depression-type 2 diabetes relationship is first explored in this population-based prospective study in China.
• Depression was associated with an approximately 52% higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
• The synergistic effect of depression and obesity on type 2 diabetes incidence was observed.

Highlights

• One thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven women with GDM were analyzed.
• There was a relationship between insulin use and reduced resuscitation rates of infants born from mothers with GDM.

Highlights

• This large observational study contributes with detailed assertions to the discussion about the influence of environmental conditions in early childhood on the risk of developing diabetes in India.
• The study considers nonlinear relationships between height and diabetes and suggests a U-shaped relationship between height and the risk of developing diabetes among women, and an increased risk with height among men.
• Adding data on the environmental conditions in early life might help to better understand the role of these conditions.

Highlights

• Long-term exposure to relatively high SUA, despite within normal range, was associated with nearly 2-fold increased risk of renal function decline.
• In addition, long-term exposure to relatively low SUA level was also associated with increased risk of albuminuria.
• This study suggested that time-averaged SUA, rather than baseline SUA, is an independent predictor of incident DKD.
