Pre-stroke glycemia in patients with diabetes
Conclusion Insulin treatment and hyperlipidemia are associated with higher HbA1c levels in acute stroke patients with T2D. Poor adherence to diabetes treatment is associated with higher HbA1c levels only among patients with HbA1c ≥8%.

Burden of macro- and micro-vascular complications of type 2 diabetes in Bangladesh
ConclusionThe prevalence of macro- and micro-vascular complications were very high in Bangladesh and majority of them are key drivers for hospitalization and increased healthcare cost. An improvement of primary prevention strategy for complications is urgently needed which in turn will reduce the long-term healthcare cost for type 2 diabetes in Bangladesh.

The normal-weight type 2 diabetes phenotype revisited
Conclusions MONW among T2DM represents a significant minority (about 1 in 10). Their cardiometabolic phenotype deserves attention due to multiple comorbidities, including a twice-higher prevalence of micro-/macrovascular damage in patients wrongly perceived at lower risk due to normal BMI. Unexpectedly, non-right-handedness was over-represented among metabolically-healthy patients.

Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Complications among Palestinians with T2DM
Conclusions The present cross-sectional study shows poor glycemic control in Palestine, while blood pressure and lipids are less poorly controlled. The study emphasizes the need to optimize the glucose-lowering treatment and to implement diabetes care program that could face the challenge of high uncontrolled diabetes as well as complications of diabetes.

Lifestyle factors and macro- and micro-vascular complications among people with type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia
ConclusionsDiabetes complications are common among people with type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Life style factors such as inadequate physical activity, longer sitting time, obesity, smoking, hypertension, and poor control of blood glucose and lipids should be assimilated into complications prevention program.

Albuminuric and non-albuminuric patterns of chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes
Publication date: Available online 3 November 2018Source: Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & ReviewsAuthor(s): Vadim V. Klimontov, Anton I. KorbutAbstractA growing body of evidence supports a shift in the natural history of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in subjects with diabetes. Specifically, normoalbuminuric chronic kidney disease (NA-CKD), which is characterized by a decline in the glomerular filtration rate in the absence of a preceding or accompanying elevation of albuminuria, has become a widely prevalent variant of renal impairment in diabetes. Diabetic women and nonsmoking individuals with better gly...
