GALNT2 expression is associated with glucose control and serum metabolites in patients with type 2 diabetes
ConclusionsOur data indicate that in type 2 diabetes the expression ofGALNT2 is associated with several serum metabolites. This association needs to be further investigated to understand in depth its role in mediating the effect of GALNT2 on insulin sensitivity, glucose control and other clinical features in people with diabetes.

Correlation between omega-3 intake and the incidence of diabetic retinopathy based on NHANES from 2005 to 2008
ConclusionsIn this cross-sectional study of the U.S. general population, we found that increased intake of omega-3 and its components, specifically DPA and DHA were negatively associated with DR incidence. This suggests that omega-3 may be a potential protective factor for DR and may help to prevent or delay the onset and progression of DR. (Source: Acta Diabetologica)

Maintaining a gluten-free diet is associated with quality of life in youths with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease
ConclusionThe coexistence of T1D and CD and the adoption of a GFD resulted in poor QoL levels, as in youth as in their parents, when difficulties implementing the GFD are present. Psychological support should consider the importance of maintaining GFD not only to prevent potential complications in the future but also to improve actual QoL in different subdomains.

Associations between life ’s essential 8 and metabolic health among us adults: insights of NHANES from 2005 to 2018
ConclusionsHigher LE8 and its subscales scores were inversely and nonlinearly linked with the lower presence of MUH. MUH is consistent with LE8 scores, which can be considered as an alternative indicator when it is difficult to collect the information of health behaviors. (Source: Acta Diabetologica)

Impaired erythropoietin response to hypoxia in type 2 diabetes
ConclusionsThese findings suggest an impaired erythropoietin response to decreased oxygen levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, which may contribute to the reduced oxygen transport capacity observed in this population. (Source: Acta Diabetologica)

Comparison of the optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) vascular measurements between molecularly confirmed MODY and age-matched healthy controls
ConclusionThe significant CC-VD increase in the MODY group might be associated with hyperglycemia and/or relatively poor and vulnerable peripheral vascular CC perfusion compared to the central. Previous thickness and VD results of childhood or adolescent diabetes were distributed in a wider range, suggesting that various factors, including some not yet clearly defined, may affect the choroidal vasculature independently of glycemia or as a contributing factor.

Association of visceral adipose tissue with albuminuria and interaction between visceral adiposity and diabetes on albuminuria
ConclusionsHigh VFA may represent an independent risk factor for albuminuria. The amount of visceral fat may affect the effect of diabetes on albuminuria. The higher the visceral fat, the stronger the correlation between diabetes and albuminuria should be present. We suppose an additive interaction between VFA and diabetes on the effect of albuminuria.

Self-supervised category selective attention classifier network for diabetic macular edema classification
ConclusionsThe proposed SSCSAC-Net represents a significant advancement in automated DME classification. By effectively using self-supervised learning and attention mechanisms, the model offers improved accuracy in identifying DME-related features within retinal images. Its robustness and generalizability across different datasets highlight its potential for clinical applications, providing a valuable tool for clinicians in diagnosing DME effectively.
