Diabetes in southern Iran: a 16-year follow-up of mortality and years of life lost
ConclusionsIn this study, we found that from 2004 to 2019, the crude mortality rate, age standardized rate, and years of life lost due to diabetes were on the rise. We found obvious sex differences in diabetes-related deaths. The highest YLLs were in the age range 50 –64. An accurate estimation of diabetes mortality could provide empirical support for future diabetes prevention and control strategies, determine priorities in health protection, and provide a basis for accurate prevention and control of diabetes in different regions and groups.

The prevalence and risk factors of retinopathy and nephropathy in prediabetic population
ConclusionOur findings suggest the incidence of both retinopathy and nephropathy (18.6% and 15.1%, respectively) may be higher than expected in prediabetic patients. In addition, we describe that there may be a relationship between macrovascular complications and microvascular complications in patients with prediabetes.

Prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus and associated factors in Shenzhen, China: a retrospective analysis of 70,427 pregnant women
ConclusionsThe prevalence of GDM was about 17.02% in Shenzhen, with increase in recent years. There were different alterations across seasons for fasting and post-load blood glucose. Multiparity may be an independent protective factor for GDM. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Telemedicine with advanced communication technology in management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a network meta-analysis
ConclusionIn conclusion, computer-based, telephone-based, and telemonitoring self-management methods are effective self-management methods for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The computer-based self-management method was the most effective compared to the other two self-management methods.Clinical trial registrationThe detailed protocol was registered in PROSPERO (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO). Registration number was CRD42020186839. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Evaluation of progression in metabolic parameters along with markers of subclinical inflammation and atherosclerosis among normoglycemic first degree relatives of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
ConclusionDespite no significant differences in change in glycemic parameters or rates of conversion from NGT to pre diabetes, cIMT increased significantly in the normoglycemic offspring of T2DM subjects than those without history of T2DM in their parents.

Increased skin autofluorescence of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in subjects with cardiovascular risk factors
ConclusionThis Tunisian population-based study shows an increased SAF level in subjects with diabetes and/or hypertension and dyslipidemia compared to healthy subjects. The AGE Reader device is a rapid and non-invasive tool in clinical practice to evaluate and screen CVR factors in Tunisia with a North African phototype.

Relationship between insulin-biochemical resistance levels and the degree of depression and anxiety in patients from Honduras
ConclusionsOur results provide important evidence of a direct and growing association between HOMA-IR and the severity of depression, and indirectly with anxiety. Secondarily, also with anthropometric factors (BMI and WC), traditionally associated with cardiovascular risk. This finding has important implications both for the early diagnosis of these mental pathologies, taking into account HOMA-IR values, and for preventive interventions focused on maintaining blood insulin levels.

Diabetic retinopathy: long-term follow-up of Ecuadorian patients with type 2 diabetes in primary care
ConclusionsHalf of the patients with DM2 treated in a primary level of care will develop DR in the third decade of the disease. There are risk factors related to development of DR, such as low GFR, high HbA1c, albuminuria and HTN. Low GFR, high HbA1c, albuminuria and high blood pressure are related with the presence of retinopathy in diabetes patients. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Insulin antibody as a biomarker to monitor the development of type 2 diabetes in county hospitals in China
AbstractBackgroundThe significance of insulin antibody (IA) detection in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has received scant attention from county hospitals in China. We aimed to introduce exogenous IA positive rate and its relative factors in T2DM treated with insulin in Xiangshan County of Ningbo City, analyzing the immunogenicity of different kinds of insulin.MethodsPatients who were residents from the Danxi community and six towns (Dongchen, Xizhou, Maoyang, Sizhoutou, Juexi, and Qiangtou) in Xiangshan County and diagnosed with T2DM and treated with insulins at Xiangshan Hospital of TCM Medical and Health Group between ...
