Association of KLOTHO gene variants with metabolic and renal function parameters in Mexican patients living with type 2 diabetes
ConclusionIn Mexican patients living with type 2 diabetes,KL variant rs9536314 was found associated with low odds of hypo-HDL cholesterol, albuminuria and presence of CKD. Meanwhile the consensus of soluble KLOTHO measurement is reached, genetic variants in theKL gene could be considered as genetic markers for CKD susceptibility in patients at high-risk of vascular complications.

The use of FreeStyle libre improves glycaemic control along with reducing diabetes burden and hospital admissions in a socially deprived Northwest English population
ConclusionThe use of FSL resulted in statistically significant reductions in hospital admissions, HbA1c and reported hypoglycaemic episodes among diabetics in a socially deprived Northwest region of England. These outcomes show a direct association with a higher questionnaire score. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Inflammation and immunological disarrays are associated with acute exercise in type 2 diabetes
ConclusionFinally; JUN, IL6, IL1B, PTGS2, FOS, ATF3, CXCL8, EGR1, and EGR2 were introduced as the critical targeted genes by exercise. Since the critical genes after exercise are upregulated and mostly are known as the risk factors of T2D, it can be concluded that unsuitable exercise can develop diabetic conditions in patients. Acute exercise-induced inflammation and immune disturbances seem to be associated with the development of T2D in patients. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

The value of lipid accumulation products in predicting type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross-sectional study on elderlies over 65 in Shanghai
ConclusionLAP is more significantly associated with the risk of T2DM in elderlies than FPG, UN or NC, and it serves as a strong predictor of T2DM. However, this is impacted by FPG and neck circumference to a certain extent. Future large-scale studies are needed to confirm its efficacy in predicting diabetes.

Cystatin C as an adjunct to HbA1c may prove useful in predicting the development of diabetic complications in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes
ConclusionIn conclusion, Cystatin C levels were higher in patients with diabetes duration longer than 5 years, and inverse correlation was found between HbA1c and Cystatin C levels as well as duration of diabetes. Cystatin C may prove useful as an adjunct to HbA1c in predicting eventual development of diabetic complications. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Leptin and ghrelin dynamics: unraveling their influence on food intake, energy balance, and the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionGhrelin, known for its appetite-stimulating effects, and leptin, a hormone involved in the regulation of energy balance, have been implicated in insulin resistance and glucose metabolism. Understanding the complexities of ghrelin and leptin interactions in the context of T2DM may offer insights into novel therapeutic strategies for this prevalent metabolic disorder. Further research is warranted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these hormone actions and to explore their clinical implications for T2DM prevention and management.
