Diabetes osteoporosis is a debilitating condition that significantly impacts human health. However, it is often underdiagnosed and not addressed in a timely or appropriate manner.
Methods
Recent studies were reviewed to explore the roles of energy metabolism, sarcopeina, low-grade inflammation and gut microbiota in the development of diabetes osteoporosis.
Results
Osteoporosis in diabetic patients differs from primary osteoporosis. Novel biomarkers and risk factors that are biologically, physiologically, and pathologically linked to the development of diabetes osteoporosis are emerging, necessitating a shift in strategies for diagnosis, risk stratification, and prevention of diabetes osteoporosis.
Conclusions
There is an urgent need to approach this disorder from a fresh perspective, initiating a range of basic research and clinical investigations.

Background
This study analyzes the trends in the burden of chronic kidney disease due to type 2 diabetes (CKD-T2D) in China from 1990 to 2021, evaluates variations in risk factors, and projects the disease burden through 2036.
Method
Estimates of prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for CKD-T2D were retrieved along with their 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). Age-period-cohort analysis was used to assess burden trends from 1990 to 2021, identify risk factor population attributable fractions (PAFs), and project the burden through 2036.
Results
In 2021, there were 20 911 520 CKD-T2D cases in China, with an age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) of 1053.92 per 100 000, an incidence rate (ASIR) of 23.07, an age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) of 5.72, and an age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) of 122.15. Although the overall burden showed a slow decline from 1990 to 2021, incidence continued to rise. The 2021 data revealed a marked age effect, with the burden rising with age. Period effects also contributed to an increased risk, with metabolic risk factors such as high fasting plasma glucose and BMI contributing the most. Projections suggest a decline in mortality and DALYs by 2036, while incidence will keep increasing.
Conclusion
Despite declines in ASMR and ASDR, CKD-T2D incidence and cases continue to rise, especially among males and the elderly. This increasing burden is driven by aging and metabolic risk factors. Early screening, education, and risk management are essential for addressing CKD-T2D in China.

Aims
Lifestyle-induced weight loss (LIWL) is considered an effective therapy for the treatment of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The role of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in adipose tissue function and in the success of LIWL in MetS is still unclear. We investigated the effect of 6 months of LIWL on transcriptional regulation in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Aiming to identify a LIWL-associated “gene signature” in SAT, DEGs were fitted into a linear regression model.
Materials and Methods
The study is embedded in a prospective, two-arm, controlled, monocentric, randomized, 6-month interventional trial in individuals with MetS following LIWL. The trial included 43 nonsmoking, nondiabetic men aged 45–55 years with MetS.
Results
In total, we identified 642 DEGs in SAT after 6 months of LIWL. The identified DEGs were validated in two cross-sectional cohorts analyzing SAT from individuals with and without obesity. Gene enrichment analysis of the DEGs revealed the strongest association with cholesterol metabolic processes. Accordingly, DEGs were correlated with the lipid parameters HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides in corresponding serum samples. We identified 3 genes with an AUC of 0.963 (95% CI: 0.906–1.0) associated with a loss of more than 10% of initial body weight that was maintained for at least 12 months after LIWL, namely SUMO3 (Small ubiquitin-related modifier 3), PRKG2 (Protein Kinase CGMP-Dependent 2), and ADAP2 (ArfGAP with Dual PH Domains 2).
Conclusion
In summary, we have identified DEGs in SAT after LIWL, which may play an important role in metabolic functions. In particular, altered gene expression in SAT may predict sustained weight loss.

The cardioprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA)-based therapies in nondiabetic individuals with overweight or obesity remain underexplored. This meta-analysis evaluates their impact on cardiovascular events and metabolic parameters in this population.
Methods
A meta-analysis was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases from inception to June 18, 2024. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) enrolling nondiabetic adults with overweight or obesity. These studies compared GLP-1RA-based therapies with placebo and reported cardiovascular events and metabolic parameters.
Results
A total of 29 RCTs involving 9 GLP-1RA-based drugs and 37 348 eligible participants were included. Compared to placebo, GLP-1RA-based therapies significantly reduced the risk of total cardiovascular events (relative risk: 0.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [0.76, 0.87]), major adverse cardiovascular events (0.80, [0.72, 0.89]), myocardial infarction (0.72, [0.61, 0.85]), and all-cause mortality (0.81, [0.71, 0.93]). No significant differences were observed in cardiovascular death or stroke. Additionally, GLP-1RA-based therapies were associated with significant reductions in some cardiometabolic parameters. Among GLP-1RA-based therapies, orfroglipron demonstrated strong benefits in reducing systolic blood pressure (mean difference: −7.10 mmHg, 95% CI: [−11.00, −2.70]). Tirzepatide induced the greatest reduction in body mass index (−6.50 kg/m2, [−7.90, −5.10]) and hemoglobin A1c concentrations (−0.39%, [−0.52, −0.26]). Retatrutide and semaglutide were most effective in improving lipid profiles and reducing C-reactive protein levels (−1.20 mg/dL, [−1.80, −0.63]), respectively.
Conclusions
In nondiabetic individuals with overweight or obesity, GLP-1RA-based therapies significantly reduce cardiovascular events and improve cardiometabolic parameters. These findings underscore the potential for individualized GLP-1RA-based therapies targeting cardiovascular risk factors.

Background
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a severe microvascular complication of diabetes with a complex pathogenesis.
Methods
Recent studies were reviewed to explore the role of gut microbiota and its metabolites in DN development.
Results
Dysbiosis of gut bacteria contributes to pathological changes such as glomerular sclerosis and renal tubule injury. Microbial metabolites are involved in DN through immune and inflammatory pathways.
Conclusions
Understanding the relationship between gut microbiota, its metabolites, and DN may offer potential implications for DN diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Translating this knowledge into clinical practice presents challenges and opportunities.

Aims
We aimed to determine the prevalence of diabetes and the clinical profiles of Type 2 diabetes in Ethiopia and Nigeria.
Methods
A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out from November 01, 2020 to October 21, 2021 among 1727 participants using a multistage sampling method. The WHO's STEPs tool was employed. Both fasting and oral glucose tolerance tests were used for screening and American Diabetes Association's (ADA's) diagnostic criteria was used. Stata version 17 was used for analysis. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the Chi-square test were used to compare variables. Significance was declared at a p-value less than 0.05.
Result
Of the surveyed participants, 872 (50.5%) were men and the mean age was 44.6 years. The overall prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes was 15.8% and 7.0%, respectively. Impaired fasting glycaemia and glucose tolerance were 11.8% and 11.5%, respectively. The prevalence of newly diagnosed diabetes was 3.4% by fasting and 4.0% by oral glucose tolerance test. Participants with normal blood glucose were younger and had a lower weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, diastolic, and systolic blood pressure, and history of hypertension than those with prediabetes and diabetes.
Conclusion
In the present study, there is a notably high diabetes and prediabetes prevalence in the study settings. Individuals with diabetes in Ethiopia compared to Nigeria and the West have different anthropometric and clinical profiles characterized by a young age of onset, leanness, lower BMI, and waist circumference. Hence, the management of diabetes shall be tailored to the unique physiologic and clinical profiles of the population.

Background
To investigate whether lower socioeconomic status (SES) was associated with an increased risk of diabetic microvascular complications and to analyze the potential mediating role of several modifiable factors.
Methods
The study included 11 309 patients with type 2 diabetes at baseline from the UK Biobank cohort. SES was grouped based on income, education, and employment status by using latent class analysis. Microvascular complications of diabetes were identified through electronic health records. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for microvascular complications across SES groups. Mediation analysis was applied to explore potential mediators in these associations.
Results
During a median follow-up of 12.2 years, 262, 764, and 1017 participants in the high, medium, and low SES groups were diagnosed with microvascular complications. Compared to participants with high SES, those with low SES had a HR of 1.75 (95% CI: 1.53, 2.01) for total microvascular complications, a HR of 2.11 (95% CI: 1.74, 2.55) for nephropathy, a HR of 1.40 (95% CI: 1.14, 1.72) for retinopathy, and a HR of 1.79 (95% CI: 1.32, 2.43) for neuropathy. Mediation analysis indicated that alcohol consumption, body mass index, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and glycated hemoglobin mediated the association between SES and microvascular complications, with mediation percentages of 1.3%, 12.2%, 4.4%, 10.9%, and 10.8%, respectively.
Conclusions
Lower SES may be associated with a higher risk of diabetic microvascular complications, and obesity-related indicators and glycated hemoglobin may play important mediating roles in the association.

Objective
To examine the independent and combined associations of genetic risk and muscle strength with the risk of incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among individuals of South Asian ancestry.
Design and Methods
This study included 5288 South Asian individuals (mean age 52.5 years; 52.3% men) from the UK Biobank study. Baseline assessments were conducted between 2006 and 2010. Muscle strength was assessed through a hand dynamometer and expressed relative to fat-free mass. Sex-and age-specific tertiles were used to classify muscle strength into three categories. Genetic risk of T2D was quantified using a weighted polygenic risk score calculated from 22 distinct South Asian-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms for T2D.
Results
Compared to the bottom tertile of genetic risk for T2D, the highest had increased odds of incident T2D (odds ratio: 1.62; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31–2.00) and HbA1c levels (β: 0.80; 95% CI 0.41–1.19). Compared to high muscle strength, low muscle strength was associated with 89% higher odds of incident T2D (odds ratio: 1.89; 95% CI 1.52–2.35) and higher HbA1c levels (β: 0.95; 95% CI 0.55–1.35), after adjustment for confounders and genetic susceptibility to T2D. Joint analyses revealed lower muscle strength was consistently associated with higher odds of incident T2D and HbA1c levels across all genetic risk strata.
Conclusion
Polygenic risk scores for T2D could have great prognostic value in preemptively identifying individuals of South Asian ancestry at high genetic risk of T2D. Regardless of T2D genetic risk, greater muscle strength is linked to lower T2D risk and HbA1c levels.
