The economic and social impact of diabetes, as pointed out by Hind A et al1, is putting pressure on health systems and patients from low and middle‐income countries (LMICs). The panorama to solve the demand for services of the population with diabetes in these countries is not encouraging. (Source: Journal of Diabetes)

Latent autoimmune diabetes and limbic encephalitis with antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase
Abstract
Antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) are a hallmark of type 1 diabetes and its late‐onset variant, latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult (LADA).1 While cerebrovascular disease and dementia are common causes of cognitive dysfunction and neurological deficits in diabetic patients,2,3 rare autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system such as stiff‐person syndrom or limbic encephalits can also occur on the basis of shared GAD autoimmunity.4,5 (Source: Journal of Diabetes)
