Dietary quality and markers of inflammation: No association in youth with type 1 diabetes
Systemic inflammation is a key process underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD) development, and CVD risk is significantly elevated in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Youth with T1D exhibit increased levels of inflammation. Studies in persons without diabetes suggest that dietary quality influences inflammation, yet little is known about dietary influences on inflammation in youth with T1D.

Ethnicity influences cardiovascular outcomes and complications in patients with type 2 diabetes
To determine whether cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes (T2D) differ according to ethnicity, and whether ethnicity influences the effect of gender on these outcomes in Caucasians, East-Southeast-Asians, Middle-Easterners, South-Asians and Pacific-Islanders.

Elevated Unmethylated and Methylated Insulin DNA are Unique Markers of A+ β+ Ketosis Prone Diabetes
A+ β+ ketosis prone diabetes (KPD) is associated with slowly progressive autoimmune beta cell destruction. Plasma unmethylated and methylated insulin DNA (biomarkers of ongoing beta cell damage and systemic inflammation, respectively) were elevated in A+β+ KPD compared to all other KPD subgroups.

The Relationship of Health Literacy to Diabetes Status Differs by Sex in Older Adults
Lower health literacy is associated with higher rates of mortality and chronic disease. It remains unclear whether health literacy is associated with diabetes and hyperglycemia in older adults, and if this relationship differs by sex. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Association between a MIR499A polymorphism and diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes
Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) affect a large percentage of diabetic people and impact severely on quality of life. As it seems that miRNAs and their variations might play a role in these complications, we investigated whether the rs3746444 SNP in the MIR499A gene could be associated with susceptibility to DPN and/or CAN.

Erratum to Dan Ziegler, Sally Edmundson, Irina Gurieva, Boris Mankovsky, Nikolaos Papanas, Igor Strokov. Predictors of response to treatment with actovegin for 6 months in patients with type 2 diabetes and symptomatic polyneuropathy. J Diabetes Complications 2017; 31:1181-7
In the article entitled “Predictors of response to treatment with actovegin for 6months in patients with type 2 diabetes and symptomatic polyneuropathy”, there was a plotting error in Figs. 1a and b and 2a and b. The confidence intervals were incorrectly plotted as ‘Odds ratio minus calculated lower 95% confidence li mit (LCL)’ and ‘Odds ratio plus calculated upper 95% confidence limit (UCL)’, instead of actual LCL and UCL. Attached is the correct version of the figures. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Circulating levels of Hsp27 in microvascular complications of diabetes: Prospects as a biomarker of diabetic nephropathy
Heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) is a small heat shock protein known to protect the cells from apoptosis under stress. In the present study, we determined the plasma Hsp27 levels in type 2 diabetes subjects without and with microvascular complications- diabetic retinopathy (DRe), diabetic nephropathy (DNe), and diabetic neuropathy (DNu) to understand if it could serve as a marker for these complications.
