Publication date: November 2016 Source:The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, Volume 4, Supplement 1 Author(s): Rui Liu, Qing Wang, Vivian Szeto, Andrew Barszczyk, Tianru Jin, Edoardo Mannucci, Hong-Shuo Sun, Zhong-Ping Feng Background Diabetes and stroke are leading causes of death and disability, and major public health concerns in China, which accounts for 25% of patients with diabetes worldwide. Type 2 diabetes is an independent risk factor for cerebral ischaemia and accounts for about 20% of stroke cases. We previously showed that KATP channel activation provides neuroprotection against cerebral ischaemia and t...

Type 2 diabetes and incidence of cardiovascular diseases: a cohort study in 1·9 million people
This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01804439). Findings Our cohort consisted of 1 921 260 individuals, of whom 1 887 062 (98·2%) did not have diabetes and 34 198 (1·8%) had type 2 diabetes. We observed 113 638 first presentations of cardiovascular disease during a median follow-up of 5·5 years (IQR 2·1–10·1). Of people with type 2 diabetes, 6137 (17·9%) had a first cardiovascular presentation, the most common of which were peripheral arterial disease (reported in 992 [16·2%] of 6137 patients) and heart failure (866 [14·1%] of 6137 patients). Type 2 diabetes was positively associated wi...

Association of the magnitude of weight loss and changes in physical fitness with long-term cardiovascular disease outcomes in overweight or obese people with type 2 diabetes: a post-hoc analysis of the Look AHEAD randomised clinical trial
We examined whether the incidence of cardiovascular disease in Look AHEAD varied by changes in weight or fitness. Methods Look AHEAD was a randomised clinical trial done at 16 clinical sites in the USA, recruiting patients from Aug 22, 2001, to April 30, 2004. In the trial, 5145 overweight or obese adults aged 45–76 years with type 2 diabetes were assigned (1:1) to an intensive lifestyle intervention or diabetes support and education. In this observational, post-hoc analysis, we examined the association of magnitude of weight loss and fitness change over the first year with incidence of cardiovascular disease. The primar...

Glucose screening in pregnancy and future risk of cardiovascular disease in women: a retrospective, population-based cohort study
Publication date: Available online 27 March 2019Source: The Lancet Diabetes & EndocrinologyAuthor(s): Ravi Retnakaran, Baiju R ShahSummaryBackgroundIn studies to date, gestational diabetes has consistently been associated with an increased future risk of cardiovascular disease, irrespective of the antepartum screening protocol or diagnostic criteria by which gestational diabetes is diagnosed. We reasoned that the resultant heterogeneity in the severity of dysglycaemia in women with gestational diabetes suggests that the relationship between gestational glycaemia and subsequent cardiovascular disease probably extends into t...
