Highlights

• There are worldwide differences in the frequency of CD in children with T1D with higher prevalence in girls and those with young onset. Differences in anthropometric outcomes in children with T1D and CD highlights the importance of close follow-up of growth and antibodies in these children. In many regions, children with CD and T1D are more likely to use modern technologies compared to non-CD subjects. Diabetes control in children with CD and T1D varies between regions and needs improvement.

Highlights

• Results from previous studies on the association of age at menarche and the risk of diabetes in adulthood were inconsistent, and the impact of ideal cardiovascular health metrics (ICVHMs) on this association was unclear.
• This study showed that early age at menarche was associated with an increased risk of diabetes in middle-aged and elderly Chinese women, but not in women with ≥4 ICVHMs.
• There was a significant interaction between the number of ICVHMs and the age at menarche in modifying the risk of diabetes.

Highlights The ACUDIN (ACUpuncture and laser acupuncture for treatment of DIabetic peripheral Neuropathy) trial showed significant effects of acupuncture compared with placebo on type 2 diabetes-induced DPN, as measured by NCS. Improvement in the primary outcome variable sural SNAP amplitude indicates structural neuroregeneration following acupuncture. Our findings are evidence that acupuncture is an appropriate safe, nonpharmacological complementary treatment option for type 2 diabetic patients with DPN.

Highlights

• We found that China has an enormous and increasing burden of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) attributable to diet high in SSBs among specific groups, that is, young and middle-aged male adults in provinces with higher economic growth.
• These findings can be used as reference for making public health policies and intervention programs for IHD and T2DM at the national and provincial levels.

Highlights

• The association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and low-level albuminuria was noteworthy in postmenopausal Chinese women.
• These results may be helpful for specific populations who are more likely to benefit from the detection and avoidance of increased risk of NAFLD.

Highlights

• Incretins in pancreatogenic diabetes have been studied in chronic pancreatitis; however, incretins in fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD), a unique form of pancreatogenic diabetes, have not been explored previously.
• This study would significantly help in incretin biology in FCPD and may help bridge the knowledge gap in current understanding.

Highlights

• The current study demonstrated that ferritin level could affect the relationship between HbA1c and mean plasma glucose.
• Prevalence rate of diabetes based on HbA1c is lower than that of glucose-based diabetes, which is true across all ferritin levels.
