Highlights

We identified a positive and nonlinear association between FBG variability and cancer risk in patients with T2DM patients. An interaction effect between FBG variability and hypertension on cancer incidence was identified.

Highlights

• The association between education level and diabetes in Chinese adults is positive in men but negative in women.
• Obesity is the major mediator underlying the gender disparity in the association between education and diabetes.
• Combating obesity may help address the burden of diabetes across education levels in both genders.

Highlights

• Diabetic ketoacidosis rate and HbA1c were not elevated in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
• Pediatric patients with known T1DM did not show an elevated COVID-19 manifestation index; only pediatric patients with coincident SARS-CoV-2 infection and new-onset diabetes had an elevated rate of symptomatic infection.
• Adult patients showed an age-dependent increase in symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections and hospitalization rate.

Highlights

• Evidence on the associations between visit-to-visit variability of blood pressure and risks of macrovascular and microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes was insufficient and controversial.
• This study showed that greater variability of blood pressure was related to increased risks of macrovascular and microvascular complications for patients with type 2 diabetes.
• Our findings identified the optimal variability of blood pressure target for patients. Clinical professionals should also remain vigilant about the visit-to-visit fluctuation of blood pressure.
