Objective: To evaluate a regimen of inhaled Technosphere insulin (TI) plus insulin degludec in adults with type 1 diabetes, who prestudy were predominately using either an automated insulin delivery (AID) system or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) with continuous glucose monitoring.

Research design and methods: At 19 sites, adults with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to TI plus insulin degludec (N = 62) or usual care (UC) with continuation of prestudy insulin delivery method (N = 61) for 17 weeks.

Results: Prestudy, AID was used by 48% and MDI by 45%. Mean ± SD HbA1c was 7.57% ± 0.97% at baseline and 7.62% ± 1.06% at 17 weeks in the TI group and 7.59% ± 0.80% and 7.54% ± 0.77%, respectively, in the UC group (adjusted difference 0.11%, 95% CI -0.10 to 0.33, P value for noninferiority = 0.01). HbA1c improved from baseline to 17 weeks by >0.5% (5.5 mmol/mol) in 12 (21%) in the TI group and in 3 (5%) in the UC group and worsened by >0.5% (5.5 mmol/mol) in 15 (26%) in the TI group and in 2 (3%) in the UC group. The most common TI side effect was a brief cough; eight participants discontinued TI due to side effects.

Conclusions: In adults with type 1 diabetes, HbA1c after 17 weeks with a regimen of TI and degludec was noninferior to UC, which consisted predominately of either AID or MDI. TI should be considered an option for people with type 1 diabetes, particularly those who are motivated to further reduce postprandial hyperglycemia.

Objective: This study investigates the efficacy and feasibility of electrical stimulation (E-Stim) on sensory fibers of the plantar region during hemodialysis sessions, aiming to improve mobility in patients with diabetes by providing a connection between E-Stim and enhanced mobility with minimal patient effort required.

Research design and methods: Participants aged ≥18 years with diabetes undergoing hemodialysis and able to walk at least 10 m with or without aid were recruited and divided into an intervention group receiving 1-h intradialytic E-Stim three times a week and a control group using an identical nonfunctional device for 12 weeks. Gait, physical activity, patient-reported outcomes, and the technology acceptance model were assessed to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness and acceptance.

Results: Out of 117 initial participants, 97 completed the study. Significant improvements were observed in the intervention group compared with the control group in gait performance (stride time at dual-task and fast walking), physical activity (stand to walk and sit to stand), quality of life, plantar numbness, and cognitive function after 12 weeks. The intervention group showed that magnitudes of improvement on gait performance and physical activity metrics were associated with enhancements in quality of life and cognitive function, respectively. The intervention group also reported higher usefulness and usage satisfaction, with a greater willingness to continue using E-Stim at home.

Conclusions: The 12-week intradialytic E-Stim intervention is a feasible and effective method to enhance gait performance, physical activity level, cognitive function, and other patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing hemodialysis, representing a practical, low-risk therapy option for those unable to engage in traditional exercise programs.

Background: Depressive symptoms frequently co-occur with diabetes and, when unaddressed, can function to worsen diabetes control and increase the risk of diabetes-related morbidity. Integrated care (IC) approaches aim to improve outcomes among people with diabetes and depression, but there are no current meta-analyses examining their effects.

Purpose: In our study we summarize the effects of IC approaches to address depression and diabetes and examine moderating effects of IC approaches (e.g., behavioral intervention used; type of IC approach).

Data sources: A systematic search was conducted of PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and ProQuest.

Study selection: Two reviewers triaged abstracts and full-text articles to identify relevant articles. Randomized controlled trials with enrollment of participants with diabetes and depressive symptoms and with provision of sufficient data on depression scores and hemoglobin A1c were included.

Data extraction: Two reviewers extracted demographic information, depression scores, diabetes outcomes, intervention details, and the risk of bias for each study.

Data synthesis: From 517 abstracts, 75 full-text reports were reviewed and 31 studies with 8,843 participants were analyzed. Among 26 studies with reporting of HbA1c, IC approaches were associated with a significant between-group difference regarding the percent decrease of HbA1c (d = -0.36, 95% CI -0.52 to -0.21). Studies that included a combination of behavioral interventions (behavioral activation with cognitive behavioral therapy) showed greater reductions in HbA1c. Among 23 studies with reporting of depressive symptoms, the pooled effect of IC approaches lowered depressive scores by 0.72 points (95% CI -1.15 to -0.28).

Limitations: The inclusion of a wide range of IC approaches increased study heterogeneity. A random effects model and sensitivity analyses mitigated this limitation.

Conclusions: IC approaches are associated with improved glycemia and depressive symptoms in comparison with treatment as usual.

Objective: We evaluated associations between early-pregnancy oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose and complications in the Treatment of Booking Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (TOBOGM) cohort to inform prognostic OGTT thresholds.

Research design and methods: Individuals with risk factors for hyperglycemia were recruited for an international, multicenter, randomized controlled gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (World Health Organization 2013 criteria) treatment trial. A 2-h 75-g OGTT was performed at <20 weeks' gestation. Individuals with early treated hyperglycemia in pregnancy were excluded from the primary analysis. Early OGTT glucose concentrations were analyzed continuously and in glycemic categories (normal, low band, and high band).

Results: Overall, 3,645 individuals had an OGTT at (mean ± SD) 15.6 ± 2.5 weeks. For each 1-SD increase in fasting, 1-h, and 2-h glucose values, there were continuous positive associations with late GDM: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.04 (95% CI 1.82-2.27), 3.05 (2.72-3.43), and 2.21 (1.99-2.45), respectively. There were continuous positive associations between 1-h and 2-h glucose and the perinatal composite (birth <37 + 0 weeks, birth trauma, birth weight ≥4,500 g, respiratory distress, phototherapy requirement, stillbirth/neonatal death, and shoulder dystocia), with aOR 1.15 (95% CI 1.04-1.26) and 1.14 (1.04-1.25), respectively, and with large-for-gestational-age offspring, with aOR 1.18 (1.06-1.31) and 1.26 (1.01-1.25), respectively. Significant associations were also observed between 1-h glucose and cesarean section and between fasting and 2-h glucose and neonatal hypoglycemia. In categorical analysis, only the high-band 1-h glucose (≥10.6 mmol/L [191 mg/dL]) predicted the perinatal composite.

Conclusions: There is a continuous positive association between early-pregnancy OGTT glucose and complications. In individuals with hyperglycemia risk factors, only the high-glycemic-band 1-h glucose corresponded to increased risk of major perinatal complications.

Objective: To compare pregnancy outcomes among women with a normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) before 20 weeks' gestation (early) and at 24-28 weeks' gestation (late) (no gestational diabetes mellitus, or No-GDM), those with early GDM randomized to observation with a subsequent normal OGTT (GDM-Regression), and those with GDM on both occasions (GDM-Maintained).

Research design and methods: Women at <20 weeks' gestation with GDM risk factors who were recruited for a randomized controlled early GDM treatment trial were included. Women with treated early GDM and late GDM (according to the World Health Organization's 2013 criteria) were excluded from this analysis. Logistic regression compared pregnancy outcomes.

Results: GDM-Regression (n = 121) group risk factor profiles and OGTT results generally fell between the No-GDM (n = 2,218) and GDM-Maintained (n = 254) groups, with adjusted incidences of pregnancy complications similar between the GDM-Regression and No-GDM groups.

Conclusions: Women with early GDM but normal OGTT at 24-28 weeks' gestation had pregnancy outcomes that were similar to those of individuals without GDM. Identifying early GDM likely to regress would allow treatment to be avoided.

Objective: To assess 1) the association between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in pediatric obesity and youth-onset type 2 diabetes, 2) the joint effect of MASLD and intermediate hyperglycemia on type 2 diabetes risk, and 3) the effect of obesity treatment on type 2 diabetes risk.

Research design and methods: A cohort study using the Swedish Childhood Obesity Treatment Register (Barnobesitas Registret i Sverige [BORIS]) (1999-2020) linked with national registers was conducted. We included 10,346 children with overweight or obesity and 59,336 matched control individuals. MASLD was defined by transaminases and diagnosis code, separately. Type 2 diabetes was ascertained from national registers.

Results: In the obesity cohort, median age at type 2 diabetes diagnosis was 16.9 (quartile 1 [Q1], quartile 3 [Q3]: 14.7, 21.4) years, median follow-up was 8.1 (Q1, Q3: 5.1, 11.7) years. Cumulative incidence of type 2 diabetes at age 30 was 22.7% (obesity and MASLD), 9.9% (obesity alone), and 0.7% (control individuals). MASLD was associated with risk for type 2 diabetes (hazard ratio [HR] 2.71 [95% CI 2.14-3.43]), independently of age, sex, degree of obesity, intermediate hyperglycemia, and parental type 2 diabetes. Joint effect of MASLD and intermediate hyperglycemia increased type 2 diabetes risk (HR 9.04 [6.38-12.79]). Optimal response in obesity treatment reduced the risk (HR 0.23 [0.09-0.57]).

Conclusions: MASLD, defined by transaminases or diagnosis code, in pediatric obesity is associated with increased risk for youth-onset type 2 diabetes. MASLD interacts synergistically with intermediate hyperglycemia to dramatically increase the risk. Optimal response in obesity treatment reduces type 2 diabetes risk, despite MASLD.

Objective: The association of insulin resistance (IR) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unclear.

Purpose: To investigate whether IR is associated with CVD and all-cause mortality among individuals with T1D.

Data sources: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to 31 October 2023.

Study selection: Observational studies reporting the associations between IR, as calculated by the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), and the risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in individuals with T1D were eligible for inclusion.

Data extraction: Data from eight selected studies were extracted, pooled by random-effects models, and results are presented as hazard ratios (95% CIs).

Data synthesis: Eight studies involving 21,930 individuals were included, of which five studies involving 19,960 individuals with T1D reported the risk of CVD. During a median follow-up of 10 years, there were 2,149 cases of incident CVD. The pooled hazard ratio for composite CVD outcome per 1-unit increase in the eGDR index was 0.83 (95% CI 0.78-0.90, I2 = 58.9%). Five studies involving 19,403 individuals reported the risk of all-cause mortality. During a median follow-up of 10 years, 1,279 deaths were observed. The pooled hazard ratio for all-cause mortality per 1-unit increase in the eGDR index was 0.84 (95% CI 0.81-0.87, I2 = 0%).

Limitations: The small number of available studies restricted our ability to perform meta-regression analyses or more detailed subgroup analyses.

Conclusions: IR, as calculated by the eGDR, may be an additional risk factor for CVD and all-cause mortality in T1D.

Objective: Certain foods characterizing the alternate Mediterranean diet (aMED) are high in persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which are related to greater gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. We examined the associations of combined aMED and POP exposure with GDM.

Research design and methods: aMED score of 1,572 pregnant women was derived from food frequency questionnaires at early pregnancy within the U.S. Fetal Growth Study and plasma concentrations of 76 POPs, including organochlorine pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, were measured. Associations of combined aMED score and exposure to POPs with GDM risk were examined by multivariable logistic regression models.

Results: In 61 of 1,572 (3.88%) women with GDM, 25 of 53 included POPs had a detection rate >50%. Higher POP levels appeared to diminish potential beneficial associations of aMED score with GDM risk, with the lowest GDM risk observed among women with both high aMED score and low POP concentrations. Specifically, adjusted log-odds ratios of GDM risk comparing women with low PCB and high aMED score with those with low aMED score and high PCB concentrations was -0.74 (95% CI -1.41, -0.07). Inverse associations were also observed among women with low aMED score and high TransNo_chlor, PCB182_187, PCB196_203, PCB199, and PCB206. These associations were more pronounced among women with overweight or obesity.

Conclusions: Pregnant women who consumed a healthy Mediterranean diet but had a low exposure to POP concentrations had the lowest GDM risk. Future endeavors to promote a healthy diet to prevent GDM may consider concurrent POP exposure.
