Aims
Relative fat mass (RFM) is a promising tool for identifying individuals with obesity-related health risks. Given the unclear correlation, we aimed to investigate the association between RFM and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in individuals with T2DM.
Methods
We included hospitalized individuals aged 20–80 years with T2DM (n = 278) in this single-center cross-sectional study. We explored the correlation between RFM and the CAC score (CACS), mechanisms underlying the association between RFM and CAC, and prediction models of coronary artery stenosis (CAS).
Results
Compared to the non-CAC group, the CAC group had a higher RFM. The CACS and RFM were positively correlated. The RFM independently increased the risk of CAC in individuals with T2DM. Using RFM to predict CAC resulted in an area under the curve of 0.598 (95 % CI [0.531–0.664], p < 0.01); RFM was not inferior to visceral fat area for predicting CAC. Insulin resistance, systolic blood pressure, and estimated glomerular filtration rate mediated the association between RFM and CAS with proportions of 9.38 %, 18.82 %, and 11.36 %, respectively.
Conclusions
RFM was associated with CAC in individuals with T2DM. Given its potential role in predicting cardiovascular complications, incorporating RFM into clinical practice may facilitate the prevention and management of cardiovascular complications in T2DM.
目的相对脂肪量(RFM)是一种很有前景的识别肥胖相关健康风险个体的工具。鉴于不明确的相关性,我们旨在研究T2DM患者RFM与冠状动脉钙化(CAC)之间的关系。方法在这项单中心横断面研究中,我们纳入了20-80岁住院的T2DM患者(n = 278)。我们探讨了RFM与CAC评分(CACS)之间的相关性,RFM与CAC之间关联的机制,以及冠状动脉狭窄(CAS)的预测模型。结果与非CAC组相比,CAC组的RFM更高。CACS与RFM呈正相关。RFM单独增加了2型糖尿病患者患CAC的风险。使用RFM预测CAC的曲线下面积为0.598 (95% CI [0.531-0.664], p <;0.01);RFM在预测CAC方面不逊于内脏脂肪面积。胰岛素抵抗、收缩压和估计的肾小球滤过率介导了RFM和CAS之间的关联,其比例分别为9.38%、18.82%和11.36%。结论srfm与T2DM患者的CAC相关。考虑到RFM在预测心血管并发症方面的潜在作用,将RFM纳入临床实践可能有助于预防和管理T2DM心血管并发症。

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease with multiple endotypes, each demonstrating distinct clinical and immunological characteristics. Teplizumab, an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, has emerged as a promising immunomodulatory therapy capable of delaying the progression of T1D in individuals with stage 2 disease. However, variability in therapeutic response suggests that certain endotypes may derive greater benefit from treatment. This review evaluates the suitability of different T1D endotypes (T1DE) for teplizumab prevention trials, with a particular focus on early-onset T1DE1 and T1DE2.
Clinical trials demonstrate that individuals under 15 years of age, who demonstrate the highest immune activity, marked by aggressive T-cell infiltration and rapid pancreatic β-cell destruction, experience the most significant delay in disease progression following teplizumab treatment, highlighting the importance of early intervention. Furthermore, shifting individuals from the rapidly progressing T1DE1 trajectory to the more gradual T1DE2 course may extend functional insulin production and improve long-term metabolic outcomes.
This paper underscores the need for expanded endotype-specific prevention trials and optimised screening protocols to identify high-risk individuals at the earliest stage. Future research should explore teplizumab's efficacy in younger populations and refine predictive biomarkers to enhance personalised intervention strategies in T1D management.

Identify correlates of poor sleep quality among people living with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D).
Methods
Data were extracted from the BETTER Registry. Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Sociodemographic characteristics (age, biological sex, education, income, ethnicity, body mass index); diabetes-related (diabetes duration, glucose monitoring method, treatment type, hypoglycemia awareness); psychological (fear of hypoglycemia, diabetes-related distress and stigma, depression, social support); and behavioral (snacking before bedtime, caffeine, alcohol and cannabis use, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]) variables were tested in multivariate logistic regression analyses for their association with poor sleep quality (PSQI >5).
Results
A total of 1322 PwT1D (mean age: 45.0 ± 15.0 years; 66.9 % female) had sleep data. The mean PSQI score was 6.0 ± 3.4 and 47.3 % had poor sleep quality. Being female (OR = 1.422; 95 % CI: 1.080–1.873), with overweight/obesity (OR = 1.376; 95 % CI: 1.067–1.775), greater fear of hypoglycemia (OR = 1.016; 95 % CI: 1.008–1.023), having moderate-to-severe depression (OR = 6.160; 95 % CI: 4.250–8.929), always snacking before bedtime (OR = 1.706; 95 % CI: 1.124–2.590), using cannabis (OR = 1.578; 95 % CI: 1.152–2.161), and accumulating <150 min/week of MVPA (OR = 1.563; 95 % CI: 1.107–2.203) were correlates of poor sleep quality.
Conclusions
Many PwT1D have poor sleep quality, and their sleep is associated with various sociodemographic, psychological, and behavioral factors.

Aims
Small dense low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (sdLDL-C) is an emerging atherogenic lipid marker, but its association with lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate whether sdLDL-C independently predicts LEAD risk in T2DM patients.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 47 healthy controls, 66 T2DM patients, and 120 patients with both T2DM and LEAD. Biochemical markers were compared, and predictive value was assessed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the association between sdLDL-C and LEAD after adjusting for conventional risk factors.
Results
sdLDL-C levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients compared to healthy controls (1.06 [0.88–1.25] vs. 0.77 [0.43–1.04] mmol/L, P < 0.001), and even higher in those with both T2DM and LEAD (1.33 [1.17–1.56] mmol/L). sdLDL-C levels were associated with the severity of LEAD and positively correlated with fasting blood glucose, fasting C-peptide, hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B, and body mass index. ROC analysis yielded an area under the curve of 0.765 (95 % CI: 0.692–0.838, P < 0.0001), indicating good predictive value of sdLDL-C for LEAD in T2DM. Multivariable logistic regression identified sdLDL-C (OR = 7.881, 95%CI: 1.368–45.394, P = 0.021), fasting C-peptide, hemoglobin A1c, apolipoprotein B, diabetes duration, and sedentary lifestyle as significant risk factors for LEAD in T2DM patients.
Conclusions
Elevated sdLDL-C is independently associated with LEAD in T2DM patients and outperforms conventional LDL-C in risk stratification. sdLDL-C may serve as a valuable biomarker for early detection of LEAD in this high-risk population.
目的:小密度低密度脂蛋白-胆固醇(sdLDL-C)是一种新兴的致动脉粥样硬化脂质标志物,但其与2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者下肢动脉疾病(LEAD)的关系仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在评估sdLDL-C是否能独立预测T2DM患者的LEAD风险。方法采用横断面研究方法,选取健康对照者47例,T2DM患者66例,T2DM合并LEAD患者120例。比较生化指标,并采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线评估预测价值。在调整常规危险因素后,多变量logistic回归分析了sdLDL-C与LEAD之间的关系。结果T2DM患者ldl - c水平显著高于健康对照组(1.06 [0.88-1.25]vs. 0.77 [0.43-1.04] mmol/L, P <;而T2DM和LEAD合并的患者更高(1.33 [1.17-1.56]mmol/L)。sdLDL-C水平与铅的严重程度相关,与空腹血糖、空腹c肽、血红蛋白A1c、总胆固醇、甘油三酯、LDL-C、载脂蛋白B和体重指数呈正相关。ROC分析显示曲线下面积为0.765 (95% CI: 0.692-0.838, P <;0.0001),表明sdLDL-C对T2DM患者的LEAD具有良好的预测价值。多变量logistic回归发现,sdLDL-C (OR = 7.881, 95%CI: 1.368-45.394, P = 0.021)、空腹c肽、糖化血红蛋白、载脂蛋白B、糖尿病病程和久坐生活方式是T2DM患者铅的重要危险因素。结论sdLDL-C升高与T2DM患者的LEAD独立相关,在危险分层上优于常规LDL-C。sdLDL-C可作为这一高危人群早期检测铅的有价值的生物标志物。

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness despite advances in treatment and there remains an unmet need for low-cost interventions to prevent and slow the progression of DR. Fenofibrate has shown promise as a useful adjunct in DR management and is licensed for use in the treatment of DR in a few countries. However, the data supporting the use of fenofibrate for the treatment of DR emerged from subsidiary analyses of the FIELD, ACCORD-LIPID and its sub-study ACCORD-EYE trials, which were primarily designed to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes. The recently concluded LENS trial, designed to evaluate the effect of fenofibrate on progression of DR, has shown clear evidence of benefit over medium-term follow-up (i.e., 4–5 years), and confirmed its safety in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. These benefits appear to be independent of fenofibrate's lipid lowering effects and are more likely to be mediated via its direct effects on the eye. In this narrative review on the use of fenofibrate in the treatment of DR, we summarise the possible mechanisms of action, existing evidence from randomised trials, and implications for clinical practice and research.

Purpose
To compare the efficacy and safety of next-generation basal insulin efsitora versus insulin degludec in managing type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Methods
We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases until October 2024. This study followed PRISMA guidelines. Statistical analyses were performed using R version 4.4.1. The risk of bias was assessed using the RoB2 tool, and the quality of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach. This study was registered in PROSPERO under protocol CRD42024597806.
Results
Six randomized controlled trials involving 2590 patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 1376 (53.13 %) received efsitora insulin. No significant differences were observed between efsitora and degludec in glycemic efficacy outcomes, including HbA1c reduction, fasting blood glucose, weight change, and proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7 %. Regarding safety outcomes, most endpoints, such as adverse events, injection site reactions, hypersensitivity, severe hypoglycemia, and mortality, were comparable between groups, with no significant subgroup effects. However, subgroup analysis revealed a lower incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia with efsitora in patients with type 2 diabetes, and a higher rate of serious adverse events in patients with type 1 diabetes, suggesting potential population-specific differences in safety profiles.
Conclusion
Efsitora and degludec insulins show similar overall efficacy and safety in the management of diabetes. However, subgroup analyses indicate that patient-specific factors, such as diabetes type, may influence the risk of certain adverse events. These findings support the importance of individualized insulin selection based on patient characteristics and risk profiles.

Aims
This study assessed the IDx-DR software's effectiveness as a diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening tool in a routine outpatient setting. It also evaluated the software's safety and feasibility.
Methods
RA prospectively planned analysis of patients with diabetes was conducted at the diabetes outpatient clinic of a specialized tertiary care center from March 2021 to October 2022. These patients underwent retinal imaging with IDx-DR during routine visits.
Results
The majority of the 996 included patients were female (53.1 %), and the median age was 61.1 years. Notably, 40.2 % had a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, and 35.8 % were active smokers. DR was detected by IDx-DR in n = 178 (26 %) of patients. 73.1 % of those patients were newly diagnosed with retinopathy without any history of retinopathy in the medical history (p < 0.001). DR patients were older (median 60.4 vs 57.5 years; p = 0.050), had higher HbA1c levels (7.0 % vs. 7.6 %; p < 0.001) and a higher frequency of ophthalmologic check-ups (p = 0.015). In multiple binary logistic regression, use of insulin (OR = 1.735 [1.096; 2.748], p = 0.19) and diabetes duration (medium vs. short: OR = 2.356 [1.36; 4.07], p = 0.002, long vs. short: OR = 1.776 [1.03; 3.06], p = 0.39) independently predicted DR, while age and sex were not significant predictors.
Conclusions
This study supports integrating AI tools like IDx-DR in DR screening. It highlights IDx-DR's utility and efficacy in improving DR detection and patient care, suggesting its potential for broader, cost-effective screening in Austria and possibly elsewhere.
目的:本研究评估IDx-DR软件作为常规门诊糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)筛查工具的有效性。并对软件的安全性和可行性进行了评估。方法对2021年3月至2022年10月在某专科三级保健中心糖尿病门诊就诊的糖尿病患者进行前瞻性计划分析。这些患者在常规就诊期间接受了IDx-DR视网膜成像。结果996例患者以女性为主(53.1%),中位年龄为61.1岁。值得注意的是,40.2%的人BMI≥30 kg/m2, 35.8%的人是活跃吸烟者。在178例(26%)患者中,IDx-DR检测到DR。73.1%的患者新诊断为视网膜病变,病史中无视网膜病变史(p <;0.001)。DR患者年龄较大(中位60.4 vs 57.5岁;p = 0.050), HbA1c水平较高(7.0% vs 7.6%;p & lt;0.001)和更高的眼科检查频率(p = 0.015)。在多元二元logistic回归中,胰岛素的使用(OR = 1.735 [1.096;2.748], p = 0.19)和糖尿病病程(中vs短:OR = 2.356 [1.36;4.07], p = 0.002,长与短:或= 1.776 (1.03;3.06], p = 0.39)独立预测DR,而年龄和性别无显著预测意义。结论本研究支持将IDx-DR等人工智能工具整合到DR筛查中。它强调了IDx-DR在改善DR检测和患者护理方面的效用和功效,表明它有可能在奥地利和其他地方进行更广泛的、具有成本效益的筛查。
