Epidemiology of NAFLD – Focus on diabetes
There is increasing appreciation of the complex interaction between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and insulin resistance. Not only is the prevalence of NAFLD disease high among patients with T2D, the liver disease is also more progressive. Currently, the global prevalence of NAFLD in the general population (2016 –2019) is 38 %. The prevalence of T2D among those with NAFLD is approximately 23 % while the prevalence of NAFLD among those with T2D can be as high as 70 %. (Source: Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

International Diabetes Federation position statement recommending use of 1-hour plasma glucose test to diagnose intermediate hyperglycaemia and type 2 diabetes
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has released a Position Statement that presents the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose (1-h PG) test as a more sensitive and practical method to screen for intermediate hyperglycaemia (IH) and type 2 diabetes(T2D) in people at risk. The Statement was prepared by an international panel* of 22 experts from 15 countries and presented at the 17th International Conference on Advanced Technologies& Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in Florence, Italy and was published online in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice.

Cardiovascular risk and access to primary care: Comparisons among Chinese documented and undocumented immigrants
Preventive strategies have led most European countries to a reduction in cardiovascular events over recent decades although inequalities remain in disadvantaged groups such as low-socioeconomic status and immigrant populations [1,2]. Several studies highlighted that in Europe the age-standardized prevalence of cardio-metabolic diseases is higher among non-native ethnic minority groups than among the native population [3,4]. Systematic reviews and single cohort studies did not include undocumented migrants, defined in the European Union (EU) context as third-country nationals present in the territory of a Schengen State who...

The effect of preprandial versus postprandial physical activity on glycaemia: Meta-analysis of human intervention studies
This meta-analysis aims to investigate the effect of preprandial physical activity (PA) versus postprandial PA on glycaemia in human intervention studies. Medline and Embase.com were searched until February 2023 for intervention studies in adults, directly comparing preprandial PA versus postprandial PA on glycaemia. Studies were screened using ASReview (34,837) and full text was read by two independent reviewers (42 full text, 28 included). Results were analysed using pooled mean differences in random-effects models. (Source: Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Remnant cholesterol is an independent risk factor for the incidence of chronic kidney disease in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes: A nationwide population-based study
Globally, 10.5% of the adult population has diabetes, which suggests that one in eight adults will be living with diabetes by 2045 [1]. Diabetes is a serious public health concern, leading to morbidity, disability and mortality mainly through the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other chronic complications [2]. Although the rate of hospitalization and mortality caused by major cardiovascular complications has decreased in Korea owing to overall improvements in managing cardiovascular risk factors like blood pressure, smoking, and lipid levels and with proper treatment of cardiovascular events [3], the prevalence o...

Triglyceride-glucose index predicts type 2 diabetes mellitus more effectively than oral glucose tolerance test-derived insulin sensitivity and secretion markers
Owing to the recent increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes, a rapid rise in the socio-economic burden has been observed. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the global prevalence of diabetes among adults aged 20 –79 years was estimated to be 10.5 % (536.6 million people) in 2021, and the prevalence is projected to increase to approximately 12.2 % (783.2 million) in 2045 [1]. Additionally, global health expenditures related to diabetes are estimated to have reached 966 billion dollars in 2021, and th ey are predicted to rise to 1,054 billion USD by the year 2045...

Long-term lifestyle intervention can reduce the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus in subjects with prediabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Prediabetes (PD) is a condition defined by blood glucose levels higher than normal but below diabetes thresholds. The term was proposed by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) to represent subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose [1]. The condition is associated with an increased risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications [2]. In 2016, PD affected 318 million people worldwide and it is estimated that more than 470 million people may have prediabetes by 2030 [3]. (Source: Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Effects of long-term HbA1c variability on serious infection risks in patients with type 2 diabetes and the influence of age, sex and ethnicity: A cohort study of primary care data
There is increasing evidence that long-term glycaemic (HbA1c) variability may be a predictive marker for poor health outcomes and mortality among people with diabetes[1,2]. It is well established that maintaining lower levels of HbA1c can reduce the risk of microvascular complications and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D)[3]. Systematic review(s) have more recently highlighted many studies that have now demonstrated a risk of diabetes complications, such as renal disease, associated with the variability in HbA1c measurements recorded over several years, which acts independently of the level of Hb...

International Diabetes Federation Position Statement on the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose for the diagnosis of intermediate hyperglycaemia and type 2 diabetes
We appreciate the important comments raised by Dr. Thirunavukkarasu. While we agree that adding other measurements to the 1-h post-load plasma glucose such as fasting and/or 2-hour glucose determinations can further augment the stratification of risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and complications of hyperglycemia, the fundamental objective of the International Diabetes Federation Position Statement [1] was to provide practical and economically feasible recommendations that could be implemented globally.
