Mitochondrial ALDH2 improves ß‐cell survival and function against doxorubicin‐induced apoptosis by targeting CK2 signaling
ConclusionsMitochondrial ALDH2 activation could inhibit the progression of doxorubicin induced pancreatic β-cell dysfunction by inhibiting the acid sphingomyelinase induction of ceramide, by regulating the activation of CK2 signaling. Our research lays the foundation of ALDH2 activation as a therapeutic target for the precise treatment of chemotherapy drug induced β-cell dysfunction. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Internet of things ‐based approach for glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes: A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe IoT-based approach did not reduce HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes. IoT-based intervention using data on the daily glycemic control and HbA1c level may be required to improve glycemic control. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Glycemic variability is associated with sural nerve conduction velocity in outpatients with type  2 diabetes: Usefulness of a new point‐of‐care device for nerve conduction studies
ConclusionsIn outpatients with type 2 diabetes, multiple CGM-derived GV metrics were significantly associated with SCV obtained by DPNCheck ™. GV may have independent impacts on peripheral nerve function, particularly in patients with well-controlled HbA1c levels. (Source: Journal of Diabetes Investigation)

Optimizing lipid control in Taiwanese diabetic patients: A collaborative consensus by the Diabetes Association of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Taiwanese Association of Diabetes Educators
We present an in-depth analysis of dyslipidemia management strategies for patients with diabetes mellitus in Taiwan. It critically examines the disparity between established guideline recommendations and actual clinical practices, particularly in the context of evolving policies affecting statin prescriptions. The focus is on synthesizing the most recent findings concerning lipid management in patients with diabetes mellitus, with a special emphasis on establishing consensus regarding low-density lipoprotein cholesterol treatment targets. The article culminates in providing comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations tai...

Pancreatic beta ‐cell mass and function and therapeutic implications of using antidiabetic medications in type 2 diabetes
This review article examines the decline in pancreatic β-cell mass and function as central to the pathogenesis of type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes. It discusses the potential for β-cell regeneration in response to increased insulin demand and evaluates how various antidiabetic medications may affect this process. The therapeutic implications of the se findings for the management and treatment of diabetes are explored, offering new insights into potential interventions. AbstractNowadays, the focus of diabetes treatment has switched from lowering the glucose level to preserving glycemic homeostasis and slowing the disea...

Possible etiological role of impaired endogenous double strand RNA editing in β‐cells in type 1 diabetes
Proposed mechanisms by which disruption of endogenous dsRNA editing in β-cells leads to type 1 diabetes-like phenotypes in βAdarKO mice. Disruption of endogenous dsRNA editing in β-cells initiates IFN responses, thereby inducing pancreatic islet inflammation and β-cell dysfunction. Hyperglycemia induced by β-cell dysfunction further promotes islet inflammation, li kely via increased dsRNA resulting from increased β-cell workload, thereby producing a vicious cycle. The mechanism by which impairment of dsRNA editing is integrated with autoimmune-mediated pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes remains to be clarified. (Source:...
