Objective
Characterize diabetes distress (DD) in older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and explore associations with individual-level characteristics.
Research design & methods
Adults ≥65 years with T1D (n = 337; mean 70.7 years) were recruited from the T1D Exchange (08/27/2024–11/05/2024) to complete an electronic survey, including the Type 1 Diabetes Distress Assessment System. Univariable linear regressions were used to assess cross-sectional associations between DD and self-reported sociodemographic, clinical, and diabetes-related variables. Select variables were explored further using bar graphs of DD core and source scores.
Results
The median (IQR) DD core score was 1.75 (1.375–2.5), and 36.5 % of respondents had a clinically significant DD core score. DD was positively associated with being female (β = 0.37; 95 % CI: 0.20–0.55), higher HbA1c (β = 0.32; 95 % CI: 0.21–0.43), and an emergency room (ER) visit in the past year (β = 0.33; 95 % CI: 0.12–0.53). DD was negatively associated with longer T1D duration (β = −0.01; 95 % CI: −0.02 to −0.01). The most prominent sources of DD were financial, management, and complication worries, and the least prominent were interpersonal, shame, and resources.
Conclusions
In addition to known correlates of DD among individuals with T1D (e.g., HbA1c), this study revealed novel correlates of DD among older adults, including older age at diagnosis, at least one ER visit within the last 12 months, and shorter T1D duration. Limitations include self-reported variables, the cross-sectional nature, and a relatively homogeneous sample by race, high prevalence of technology use, and HbA1c levels largely at goal.

Background
The distribution of intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions specific to diabetes types and changes under dyslipidemia conditions have been well characterised. Research into the distribution of lipoprotein subfractions in Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) has hitherto been confined to certain subtypes, with gender-based differences remaining to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to comparatively evaluate the distribution of lipoprotein subfractions according to gender in MODY, T2DM patients, and control groups.
Methods
Lipoprotein subfractions in 119 serum samples of the study groups were analyzed using the Lipoprint-System.
Results
The midbands of IDL (MID-A to C) in female MODY cases, and the HDL-small fraction in male MODY cases, were found to be lower compared to female and male T2DM cases, respectively. In the T2DM group, age was positively correlated with MID-C and MID-B in both genders, while it was negatively correlated with MID-A in female cases. ROC analysis demonstrated that the decrease in the MID-C fraction in female MODY subjects (AUC:0.809, p = 0.0001) and the decrease in the HDL-small fraction in male MODY subjects (AUC:0.818, p = 0.002) were significantly associated with the likelihood of MODY.
Conclusion
Given that a considerable proportion of MODY patients are frequently misdiagnosed as T2DM, low levels of MID-C and HDL-small fractions, both of which are triglyceride-rich, may have potential as a diagnostic value for female and male MODY patients, respectively.
背景:中密度脂蛋白(IDL)、低密度脂蛋白(LDL)和高密度脂蛋白(HDL)亚组分的分布已经很好地表征了糖尿病类型和血脂异常条件下的变化。迄今为止,对成熟型糖尿病(MODY)中脂蛋白亚组分分布的研究仅限于某些亚型,性别差异仍有待阐明。本研究的目的是比较评价MODY、T2DM和对照组中不同性别的脂蛋白亚组分分布。方法采用脂印系统对119份研究组血清中的脂蛋白亚组分进行分析。结果女性MODY患者的IDL中带(MID-A ~ C)和男性MODY患者的HDL-small比例分别低于女性和男性T2DM患者。在T2DM组中,年龄与男女MID-C、MID-B呈正相关,与女性MID-A呈负相关。ROC分析显示,女性MODY受试者中MID-C分数的降低(AUC:0.809, p = 0.0001)和男性MODY受试者中hdl -小分数的降低(AUC:0.818, p = 0.002)与MODY发生的可能性显著相关。鉴于相当比例的MODY患者经常被误诊为T2DM,低水平的中c和高密度脂蛋白小分数(两者都富含甘油三酯)可能分别对女性和男性MODY患者具有潜在的诊断价值。

Frailty is a metabolically heterogeneous condition and therefore, frail older people with diabetes are metabolically diverse. Diversity is caused by the varying degrees of insulin resistance, determined by the variability in muscle mass/visceral fat ratio and the overall body weight. This creates a frailty spectrum with sarcopenic/obese at one end to malnourished anorexic individuals at the other end. The sarcopenic obese are likely to have increased insulin resistance and progression of the metabolic syndrome. On the other hand, the anorexic malnourished are likely to have decreased insulin resistance due to significant weight loss and regression of the metabolic syndrome. The current evidence showed benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1RA in frail older people with diabetes, and these benefits increased with increasing frailty. However, the majority of the population who benefited from this therapy were either overweight or obese. There is no evidence of benefits of such therapy in the anorexic malnourished end of the frailty spectrum such as people residents in care homes who were likely excluded from clinical trials. As the sarcopenic obese frail individuals are likely to have high burden of atherosclerotic vascular disease, we suggest that triple therapy of metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1RA to be initiated as first line therapy in this group of patients if tolerated. On the other hand, this therapy is better avoided in the malnourished frail individuals due to significant weight loss, high risk of adverse events and, due to regression of the metabolic syndrome, the cardiovascular benefits are uncertain.

Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength, is increasingly recognized as a major public health concern. Several epidemiological studies have reported that diabetes mellitus is associated with the risk of sarcopenia. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between serum glycated albumin (GA) levels and the risk of developing sarcopenia and dynapenia in a community-dwelling older Japanese population.
Methods
A total of 905 participants aged ≥65 years without sarcopenia at baseline were followed for 5 years. Serum GA levels were categorized into quartiles. Sarcopenia was defined by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria, and dynapenia was defined as low grip strength or low gait speed. The odds ratios (ORs) of developing sarcopenia and dynapenia and the mean values of percent change of muscle indices with 95 % confidential intervals (CIs) were estimated by logistic regression analysis and analysis of covariance, respectively.
Results
During the follow-up, 73 participants developed sarcopenia. Higher serum GA levels were significantly associated with greater risks of developing sarcopenia (OR 2.65, 95 %CI 0.95–2.65 in the highest vs. the lowest quartile) and dynapenia (OR 4.15, 95 %CI 2.13–4.15). Higher serum GA levels were related to declines in grip strength and gait speed. This association remained significant even among participants without diabetes or with hemoglobin A1c of <6.0 %.
Conclusions
Higher serum GA is a significant risk factor for both sarcopenia and dynapenia, with a stronger association observed for dynapenia, even in the absence of diabetes.
背景:骨骼肌减少症,以骨骼肌质量和力量的逐渐下降为特征,越来越被认为是一个主要的公共卫生问题。一些流行病学研究报道,糖尿病与肌肉减少症的风险有关。本研究的目的是调查血清糖化白蛋白(GA)水平与社区居住的日本老年人发生肌肉减少症和运动障碍的风险之间的关系。方法:共有905名年龄≥65岁、基线时无肌肉减少症的参与者,随访5年。血清GA水平分为四分位数。肌少症是由亚洲肌少症工作组2019年标准定义的,而动力不足被定义为握力低或步态速度低。分别采用logistic回归分析和协方差分析估计发生肌肉减少症和动力不足的比值比(ORs)和95%置信区间(ci)下肌肉指数百分比变化的平均值。结果:在随访期间,73名参与者出现了肌肉减少症。较高的血清GA水平与发生肌肉减少症(最高四分位数比为2.65,95% CI 0.95-2.65)和运动障碍(OR 4.15, 95% CI 2.13-4.15)的风险显著相关。血清GA水平升高与握力和步态速度下降有关。结论:血清GA升高是肌肉减少症和运动障碍的重要危险因素,即使在没有糖尿病的情况下,运动障碍的相关性也更强。

To evaluate the effect of Bifidobacterium subsp. lactis BLa80 on glycemic control and gut microbiota composition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 80 patients. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either BLa80 supplementation or placebo (n = 40 per group) in addition to standard metformin therapy for 12 weeks. Fasting blood and stool samples were collected at baseline and at the end of the intervention. The results showed that BLa80 supplementation significantly reduced fasting blood glucose and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, while low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were increased. Furthermore, BLa80 modulated the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota after 12 weeks of intervention. In conclusion, BLa80 supplementation may improve glycemic control and modulate the gut microbiota in patients with T2DM, suggesting its potential as an adjunctive therapy in diabetes management.

Aims
The evidence regarding a relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in later life has been inconsistent. We systematically evaluated whether such an association exists.
Methods
We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from their inception to 18 May 2025. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between GDM and subsequent CKD.
Results
Eight articles involving 21,806,683 pregnant women were included in our meta-analysis. The overall risk of CKD in the GDM group was significantly higher than in the control group (OR = 1.79, 95 % CI = 1.16–2.78, P = 0.009). Further analyses restricted to high-quality studies (OR = 2.75, 95 % CI = 1.68–4.52, P < 0.01, I2 = 96.8 %) or to studies adjusting for key confounders (OR = 2.76, 95 % CI = 1.67–4.52, P = 0.001, I2 = 65.9 %) also demonstrated a significant association. Most subgroup analysis results were consistent with the overall findings.
Conclusions
This systematic review and meta-analysis support a significant association between GDM and future CKD risk, suggesting that GDM may serve as an early warning sign for renal disease. However, confidence in the results was reduced by the considerable heterogeneity and more work is needed to understand this variability.
目的:关于妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)与以后生活中慢性肾脏疾病(CKD)风险之间关系的证据一直不一致。我们系统地评估了这种关联是否存在。方法:我们检索了PubMed、Embase和Cochrane图书馆数据库,从它们建立到2025年5月18日。计算优势比(ORs)和95%置信区间(ci)来评估GDM和随后的CKD之间的关系。结果:我们的meta分析纳入了8篇涉及21,806,683名孕妇的文章。GDM组发生CKD的总风险显著高于对照组(OR = 1.79, 95% CI = 1.16-2.78, P = 0.009)。进一步的分析仅限于高质量研究(OR = 2.75, 95% CI = 1.68-4.52, P 2 = 96.8%)或调整了关键混杂因素的研究(OR = 2.76, 95% CI = 1.67-4.52, P = 0.001, I2 = 65.9%)也显示了显著的相关性。大多数亚组分析结果与总体结果一致。结论:本系统综述和荟萃分析支持GDM与未来CKD风险之间的显著关联,提示GDM可能作为肾脏疾病的早期预警信号。然而,对结果的信心由于相当大的异质性而降低,需要更多的工作来理解这种可变性。

Background
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and a leading cause of mortality in the United States. Also, anxiety ranks among the topmost common mental health problems in the U.S. While the burden of anxiety among individuals with T2D is well known, the long-term impact of anxiety among adults with T2D has not been well explored. Thus, the purpose of this national study was to ascertain the impact of anxiety on mortality among Americans with T2D.
Methods
Data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (years 2007–2012) were linked with mortality data from the National Death Index up to December 31st, 2019.
Results
A total of 14,137 adults (aged 50 years and older) were included in the study sample, with more than a tenth (12.8 %) having T2D and more than a fifth (22.6 %) having anxiety. The unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality risk among those with T2D was 2.08 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.83–2.35, p < 0.01) compared to those without T2D. In the adjusted analysis, the risk of all-cause mortality was highest among individuals with both anxiety and T2D [AHR = 1.81 (95 % CI 1.37–2.40, p < 0.01)] compared to those with anxiety or T2D alone.
Conclusions
Our analysis provides vital information on factors that could be helpful for interventions to reduce mortality risk among those with T2D and anxiety. Also, given the higher risk of mortality with co-occurring T2D and anxiety, collaborative healthcare practices should help with widespread screening for and treatment of anxiety among middle and older-age adults with Type 2 Diabetes.
背景2型糖尿病(T2D)仍然是美国发病率和死亡率的主要原因。此外,在美国,焦虑是最常见的心理健康问题之一。虽然T2D患者的焦虑负担是众所周知的,但焦虑对成人T2D患者的长期影响尚未得到很好的探讨。因此,这项全国性研究的目的是确定焦虑对美国T2D患者死亡率的影响。方法将美国国家健康与营养检查调查(2007-2012年)的数据与截至2019年12月31日的国家死亡指数的死亡率数据相关联。结果共有14137名成年人(50岁及以上)被纳入研究样本,其中超过十分之一(12.8%)患有T2D,超过五分之一(22.6%)患有焦虑症。T2D患者与非T2D患者相比,未调整的全因死亡风险风险比(HR)为2.08(95%可信区间[CI], 1.83-2.35, p < 0.01)。在调整后的分析中,与单纯焦虑或T2D患者相比,同时患有焦虑和T2D患者的全因死亡风险最高[AHR = 1.81 (95% CI 1.37-2.40, p < 0.01)]。结论sour分析提供了有助于干预措施降低T2D合并焦虑患者死亡风险的重要信息。此外,考虑到并发T2D和焦虑的死亡率较高,协作医疗实践应该有助于广泛筛查和治疗中老年人2型糖尿病患者的焦虑。

Tirzepatide has been approved for weight loss in adults with obesity. However, real-world data are still needed. This real-world prospective study is among the first to evaluate the short-term metabolic effects of low-dose tirzepatide in adults with obesity but without diabetes mellitus (DM). Secondary endpoints included associations between these changes and anthropometric or baseline metabolic parameters.
Methods
In this prospective observational study, adults with obesity but without diabetes mellitus received tirzepatide (2.5 mg/week, escalating to 5 mg/week, subcutaneously) for 12 weeks. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), total (TC), low-density (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and hepatic steatosis index (HSI) were measured at baseline and week 12.
Results
Seventy-five participants (mean age 46.9 ± 9.9 years) were included. After 12 weeks, body weight (−8.1 ± 4.3 %) and BMI significantly decreased. TC, LDL-C, triglycerides, FPG, HbA1c, and HSI were significantly reduced and inversely associated with their baseline levels. HbA1c and HSI changes correlated with weight loss. No effect was observed on HDL-C. Statin use had no impact on outcomes.
Conclusion
Short-term low-dose tirzepatide improves the lipid profile, HbA1c, and HSI in obese adults without DM, especially in those with abnormal baseline values. Lipid changes occurred independently of weight loss.

Aims
Data on diabetic neuropathies in Greenland remains limited. The aim was to estimate the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) among Greenlanders with diabetes and prediabetes and investigate whether Inuit ancestry contributes to higher susceptibility.
Methods
Individuals with diabetes and prediabetes from the Greenland Population Survey 2018 were examined for DPN (Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) and light pressure) and CAN (Cardiovascular Reflex Tests and Heart Rate Variability). Inuit genetic admixture was included as a determinant in regression models adjusted for age, sex, genetics, diabetes status and residency.
Results
Among 447 participants (1/3 diabetes, median age 61, 57 % female) DPN prevalence was 28 % in diabetes and 25 % in prediabetes. CAN prevalence was 24 % and 15 %, respectively. A 20-percentage point change in Inuit ancestry was associated with a 4 % higher VPT (coefficient: 1.04, 95 % CI: 1.003–1.08) and 51 % higher odds of CAN (OR: 1.51, 95 % CI: 1.09–2.08).
Conclusions
DPN and CAN are common among Greenlanders with diabetes and prediabetes, highlighting the need for improved diagnostics and prevention. The association between Inuit genetic ancestry and neuropathy suggests a predisposition to neuropathy among Inuit, which may be explained by both genetic and lifestyle factors.
