Targeted gene panel analysis of Japanese patients with maturity ‐onset diabetes of the young‐like diabetes mellitus: Roles of inactivating variants in the ABCC8 and insulin resistance genes
ConclusionsCausative genomic variants could be identified in at least 46.2% of clinically suspected MODY patients.ABCC8-MODY with inactivating variants could represent a distinct category of MODY. Genes of insulin resistance should be included in the sequencing panel for MODY. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Association of cardiovascular health metrics with annual incidence of prediabetes or diabetes: Analysis of a nationwide real ‐world database
ConclusionsCVH metrics could stratify the risk of the annual development of prediabetes or diabetes. The risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes might be reduced by improving CVH metrics. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Circulating selenoprotein  P levels predict glucose‐lowering and insulinotropic effects of metformin, but not alogliptin: A post‐hoc analysis
ConclusionsHigher baseline levels of SeP significantly predicted metformin-mediated, but not alogliptin-mediated, glucose-lowering and insulinotropic effects. Serum SeP levels might be a novel biomarker for predicting the outcomes of metformin therapy, which might be helpful in tailoring diabetes medication. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Pontine lesion in hyperglycemic crises: Relevance to osmotic demyelination syndrome and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging (FLAIR) showed swelling of the pons with hyperintense signals extending to the cerebellar peduncle at second crises. Hyperintense signals were still observed 4  weeks after the second crisis. AbstractWe herein describe a case of type  1 diabetes that presented with a pontine lesion during two hyperglycemic crises accompanied by marked fluctuations in serum osmotic pressure and blood pressure. Magnetic resonance imaging showed swollen pons with osmotic demyelination syndrome characteristics accompanying cytotoxic edema at the f irst crisis. The involvement of vasogenic edema w...

Diabetes mellitus impacts on expression of DNA mismatch repair protein PMS2 and tumor microenvironment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
ConclusionsThe different phases of diabetes have a major impact on PDAC by altering PMS2 expression and the tumor immune microenvironment, which can be targeted by an immune checkpoint inhibitor. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Current understanding of imeglimin action on pancreatic β‐cells: Involvement of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis
Recent preclinical studies have provided insight on imeglimin's action on pancreatic β-cells and the mechanisms underlying its clinical benefits. Imeglimin may enhance glucose-induced insulin secretion (GIIS) and inhibit apoptosis of pancreatic ß-cells leading to preserved β-cell mass by maintaining or restoring the functional and structural integrity of the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis in pancreatic β-cells.

Immediate effect of textured insoles on the balance in patients with diabetic neuropathy
ConclusionsWearing textured insoles can increase the balance in patients with diabetic neuropathy. This can be due to its effect on the sensory feedback of the soles,  improving the proprioception and tactile sensors that are the main sources of balance. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Interaction among dietary n ‐3 and n‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acid intake, fatty acid desaturase 2 genetic variants, and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in type 2 diabetes patients
ConclusionsOur results show the role of n-3/n-6 dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids in modifying the effects of genetic susceptibility on lipoprotein concentrations in patients with type  2 diabetes. Our findings highlight the potential of interventions with dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids regarding developing individualized prevention strategies for type 2 diabetes presenting with co-occurring dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases.

Association between serum gamma glutamyl transferase and fasting blood glucose in Chinese people: A 6 ‐year follow‐up study
ConclusionsThe annual mean increase in FBG levels showed a positive relationship with baseline GGT levels. Higher baseline GGT levels resulted in a faster annual mean increase in FBG. Thus, GGT can be used for the early detection of FBG-related disorders of glucose metabolism for clinical application. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
