Objectives

We aimed to assess the clinical effects of dietary education intervention utilizing the nudge strategy in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Background

The global prevalence of T2DM and its associated complications presents a significant health challenge. While the benefits of dietary education intervention for blood glucose management are widely acknowledged, patients often struggle to adhere to dietary recommendations. The implementation of the nudge strategy may offer a promising solution to change unhealthy dietary behavior and enhance diabetes control among individuals with T2DM.

Methods

This is a sub-study within a broader cluster-randomized trial that evaluated the effects of nudge-based dietary education and traditional dietary education intervention. Measurements of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FBG), body mass index (BMI), blood lipid levels, blood pressure, dietary behavior, and diabetes distress were assessed at baseline and 3 months after the intervention in 147 individuals with T2DM from six primary care practices in Beijing, China.

Results

All outcome measurements were complete at two time points for 134 participants. Results showed that compared to the control group, the intervention group achieved a significantly greater reduction in HbA1c, FBG, BMI, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, total energy intake, carbohydrate intake, fat intake, and protein intake and had lower diabetes distress. The intervention group also maintained HDL-C levels and had a significantly greater increase in vegetable intake, while changes in triglycerides were similar in the two groups.

Conclusion

The present study provides evidence that nudge strategy-based dietary education intervention is effective in improving blood glucose, BMI, blood lipid levels, and blood pressure and facilitating changes in patients' dietary behavior and diabetes distress. These findings suggest that implementing nudge strategies can contribute to the optimization of T2DM dietary management and overall patient well-being.

Aim

Bariatric surgery is highly effective for the treatment of obesity in individuals without (OB¹) and in those with type 2 diabetes (T2D²). However, whether bariatric surgery triggers similar or distinct molecular changes in OB and T2D remains unknown. Given that individuals with type 2 diabetes often exhibit more severe metabolic deterioration, we hypothesized that bariatric surgery induces distinct molecular adaptations in skeletal muscle, the major site of glucose uptake, of OB and T2D after surgery-induced weight loss.

Methods

All participants (OB, n = 13; T2D, n = 13) underwent detailed anthropometry before and one year after the surgery. Skeletal muscle biopsies were isolated at both time points and subjected to transcriptome and methylome analyses using a comprehensive bioinformatic pipeline.

Results

Before surgery, T2D had higher fasting glucose and insulin levels but lower whole-body insulin sensitivity, only glycemia remained higher in T2D than in OB after surgery. Surgery-mediated weight loss affected different subsets of genes with 2,013 differentially expressed in OB and 959 in T2D. In OB differentially expressed genes were involved in insulin, PPAR signaling and oxidative phosphorylation pathways, whereas ribosome and splicesome in T2D. LASSO regression analysis revealed distinct candidate genes correlated with improvement of phenotypic traits in OB and T2D. Compared to OB, DNA methylation was less affected in T2D in response to bariatric surgery. This may be due to increased global hydroxymethylation accompanied by decreased expression of one of the type 2 diabetes risk gene, TET2, encoding a demethylation enzyme in T2D.

Conclusion

OB and T2D exhibit differential skeletal muscle transcriptome responses to bariatric surgery, presumably resulting from perturbed epigenetic flexibility.

Aim

To explore the relationships of multiple reproductive factors with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk and the joint effects of reproductive factors and genetic susceptibility.

Methods

We included 262,368 women without prevalent T2DM from the UK biobank. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to estimate the relationships of reproductive factors with T2DM risk and the joint effects of reproductive factors and genetic susceptibility.

Results

During a mean follow-up of 12.2 years, 8,996 T2DM cases were identified. Early menarche (<12 years, hazard ratio (HR) 1.08 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.02;1.13]), late menarche (≥15 years, HR 1.11 [1.04;1.17]), early menopause (<45 years, HR 1.20 [1.12;1.29]), short reproductive lifespan (<30 years, HR 1.25 [1.16;1.35]), hysterectomy (1.31, HR [1.23;1.40]), oophorectomy (HR 1.28 [1.20;1.36]), high parity (≥4, HR 1.25 [1.17;1.34]), early age at first live birth (<20 years, HR 1.23 [1.16;1.31]), miscarriage (HR 1.13 [1.07;1.19]), stillbirth (HR 1.14 [1.03;1.27]), and ever used hormonal replacement therapy (HR 1.19 [1.14;1.24]) were related to a higher T2DM risk, while ever used oral contraceptives (HR 0.93 [0.89;0.98]) was related to a lower T2DM risk. Furthermore, women with reproductive risk factors and high genetic risk had the highest T2DM risk compared to those with low genetic risk and without reproductive risk factors.

Conclusion

Our findings show that multiple reproductive factors are related to T2DM risk, particularly in women with high genetic risk.

Background

The association between dietary magnesium (Mg) intake and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the associations of dietary Mg intake with the risk of ASCVD events and mortality in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes.

Methods

A total of 149,929 participants (4603 with type 2 diabetes) from the UK Biobank were included in the analyses. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models. Furthermore, interactions of dietary Mg intake with type 2 diabetes status were examined on multiplicative and additive scales.

Results

During a median follow-up of 12.0 and 12.1 years, 7811 incident ASCVD events and 5000 deaths (including 599 ASCVD deaths) were documented, respectively. There were significantly negative associations between sufficient dietary Mg intake (equal to or greater than the recommended daily intake) and the risk of ASCVD incidence (HR 0.63 [95 % CI 0.49;0.82]), ASCVD mortality (0.45 [0.24;0.87]), and all-cause mortality (0.71 [0.52;0.97]) in participants with type 2 diabetes, whereas no significant association was observed in participants without type 2 diabetes (1.01 [0.94;1.09] for ASCVD incidence; 1.25 [0.93;1.66] for ASCVD mortality; 0.97 [0.88;1.07] for all-cause mortality). Multiplicative and additive interactions of dietary Mg intake with type 2 diabetes status were both observed.

Conclusion

Sufficient dietary Mg intake was significantly associated with lower risks of ASCVD events and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes but not in those without type 2 diabetes. Our findings provide insight into the importance of dietary Mg intake for reducing modifiable cardiovascular burden in individuals with type 2 diabetes, which may inform future personalized dietary guidelines.

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonists are a class of anti-diabetic agents that act by inducing insulin secretion and inhibiting glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner. They are particularly promising because of their long duration of action, reduced risk of hypoglycaemia and the added benefit of weight loss. Trulicity ® dulaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for type II diabetes and chronic weight management in obese adults.

A few rare cases of hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients taking the GLP-1 receptor agonists dulaglutide and liraglutide. Here we present a new case of cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions in a man taking dulaglutide for type II diabetes. A 52-year-old man who had been taking dulaglutide for 5 weeks developed a rash on the abdomen when the dose was increased for 3 months. The patient experienced resolution of symptoms within days of stopping dulaglutide.

Aim

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are two common diseases known to worsen the trajectory of each other, yet it is unknown whether MS is associated with incident DM.

Methods

Using Danish nationwide registries, we identified all patients aged 18–99 with a first-time primary or secondary discharge diagnosis with MS between 2000 and 2018, with no known DM. These patients were matched with control subjects from the background population in a 1:5 ratio based on age and sex, to assess their risk of DM.

Results

A total of 13,376 patients with MS and 66,880 matched control subjects were included (33 % men; median age, 42 years [25th–75th percentile, 33–51]). During a median follow-up of 8.3 years (25th–75th percentile, 4.0–13.3), 467 (3.5 %) patients with MS and 2397 (3.6 %) control subjects were diagnosed with DM. The cumulative incidence of DM was similar among patients with MS and control subjects (95 % confidence interval [CI] 6.5 % [5.7–7.2 %] vs. 7.3 % [95 % CI 6.9–7.9 %], respectively), and adjusted analysis yielded a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.98 [95 % CI 0.89–1.09]). The overall risk of incident type 1 diabetes was low and yielded a HR of 1.60 [95 % CI 0.98–1.40] in patients with MS compared with control subject (P = 0.07).

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that patients with MS had a similar risk of incident DM as compared to age- and sex matched controls from the background population.
