Association of self ‐stigma with glycated hemoglobin: A single‐center, cross‐sectional study of adults with type 1 diabetes in Japan
ConclusionsThis cross-sectional study showed a significant association between self-stigma and HbA1c in persons with type  1 diabetes. Addressing self-stigma might be as equally essential as measuring HbA1c in evaluating glycemic outcome among individuals with type 1 diabetes. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Trends in incidence rates of childhood type  1 diabetes mellitus: A retrospective study in Isfahan province, Iran
ConclusionOur findings showed that currently our region is considered a region with a high incidence rate of type  1 diabetes mellitus. Although we have had fluctuations in the incidence rate over the 12 years, the overall trend is increasing. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Sinomenine alleviates diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain through inhibition of the inositol ‐requiring enzyme 1 alpha–X‐box binding protein 1 pathway by downregulating prostaglandin‐endoperoxide synthase 2
ConclusionSIN decreases the expression ofPTGS2 to inactivate the inositol-requiring enzyme  1 alpha–X-box binding protein 1 signaling pathway, which inhibits microglial activation, as well as the release of inflammatory factors, thus alleviating DPNP. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Bivalent GAD autoantibody ELISA improves clinical utility and risk prediction for adult autoimmune diabetes
ConclusionsThese results suggest that bivalent ELISA for GADA is superior to the RIA method in diagnosing type 1 diabetes. Moreover, the diagnostic superiority of the ELISA-GADA made possible the concurrent identification of SPIDDM patients at high-risk of early progression, and allowed for more accurate clinical diagnosis and management.

Progress in genetics of type 2 diabetes and diabetic complications
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted and new genetic loci were identified that modulate the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and diabetic complications. The polygenic risk score and multi-omics analysis have begun to decipher the molecular mechanisms of diabetes and its complications. AbstractType 2 diabetes results from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Precision medicine for type 2 diabetes using genetic data is expected to predict the risk of developing diabetes and complications and to predict the effects of medications and life-style intervention more accurately for in...

New ‐onset type 1 diabetes and Graves' disease after antiretroviral therapy in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection
Human immunodeficiency virus patients receiving antiretroviral therapy can develop immune-inflammatory reconstitution syndrome. Type  1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, but type 1 diabetes is rarely reported as immune-inflammatory reconstitution syndrome. In this article, we report a case of combined Graves' disease and type 1 diabetes after antiretroviral therapy initiation with possible immune-inflammatory reconstitution syndrome with previous case series. AbstractPatients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection receiving antiretroviral therapy can develop autoimmune diseases, referred to as immune-inflam...

Mechanisms and the strategy for remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Type 2 diabetes is no longer seen as being an irreversible natural course, accompanied by progressive beta cell failure and various chronic diabetes related complications. In contrast, remission can be achieved through a personalized approach. It is a paradigm shift in our understanding of type 2 diabetes and it may be necessary to change the concept of type 2 diabetes as an urgent condition requiring rapid intervention rather than a chronic progressive disease.

False hemoglobin A1c value as a result of compound heterozygotes of hemoglobin E and hemoglobin New York
In this study, we report a case of the double hemoglobin (Hb) variants heterozygotes in the β-globin gene, the first reported compound heterozygote for HbE and Hb New York. High-performance liquid chromatography only showed HbE whether by glycated Hb program or Hb program, but capillary electrophoresis detected HbE and Hb New York. The double heterozygote caused erroneous results for HbA1c on high-performance liquid chromatography and enzyme assay. AbstractThe presence of hemoglobin (Hb) variants might interfere with some glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements. There have been a few reports of compound Hb variants affec...

Effect of intensive lifestyle intervention on the association between weight variability and major adverse cardiovascular events in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionsAmong the overweight or obese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, rising weight variability was independently associated with increased MACE risks in the DSE arm. Therefore, a guideline-recommended ILI strategy for weight loss should be adopted to improve cardiovascular outcomes without worrying about the effect of weight fluctuations.

MNX1 mutations causing neonatal diabetes: Review of the literature and report of a case with extra ‐pancreatic congenital defects presenting in severe diabetic ketoacidosis
We describe the genetic and clinical features of a preterm male infant with a homozygous [c.816C  >  A p.(Phe272Leu)]MNX1 mutation. Our proband is the first case to present in severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), indicating severe insulin deficiency. Unlike the previously reported female case who had the same mutation and presented with isolated PNDM, our proband had hypospadias and congenital umbilical hernia and showed poor growth on follow up. Our case suggests thatMNX1 mutations causing NDM can result in a range of extra-pancreatic features and a variable phenotype, similar to other transcription factors causing ...
