OBJECTIVES: Using a nationally-representative, cross-sectional cohort, we examined nutritional markers of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in adults via machine learning. METHODS: A total of 16429 men and non-pregnant women ≥ 20 years of age were analysed from five consecutive cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Cohorts from years 2013-2016 (n = 6673) was used for external validation. Undiagnosed type 2 diabetes was determined by a negative response to the question "Have you ever been told by a doctor that you have diabetes?" and a positive glycaemic response to one or more of the three diagnostic tests (HbA1c > 6...

BACKGROUND-AIM: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. According to the ADA 2020 guidelines, individuals with unstable glycemic control should be monitored every three months by measuring glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The aim of this study was to evaluate the demand adequacy for HbA1c in the monitoring of patients with diabetes mellitus with a highly unstable glycemic control. METHODS: Retrospective observational study (2016-2019). All HbA1c tests from individuals ≥18 years requested by hospital physicians were considered...

BACKGROUND: Subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) is the most common form of vascular cognitive impairment. Importantly, SIVCI is considered the most treatable form of cognitive impairment in older adults, due to its modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia. Exercise training is a promising intervention to delay the progression of SIVCI, as it actively targets these cardiometabolic risk factors. Despite the demonstrated benefits of resistance training on cognitive function and emerging evidence suggesting resistance training may reduce the progression of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), research on SIVCI has predominantly focused on the use of aerobic exercise...

Introduction In circulation, 99% vitamin D is transported by binding to vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) and albumin. Vitamin D at free form and vitamin D binding to albumin are defined as bioavailable vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with atherogenic lipid profile and insulin resistance. Remnant cholesterol is defined as the cholesterol component of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and contributes to the atherosclerotic burden. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between bioavailable vitamin D and remnant cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)...

We aim to assess pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions and evaluated morphological regenerations of pancreas following partial pancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic trauma. METHODS: The study was performed between June 2016 and December 2017. Endocrine functions were assessed at the time of admission and at 6 months follow-up with 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum insulin and C-peptide levels and HbA1c estimation and exocrine functions were assessed with fecal elastase test...

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this quality assurance study is to evaluate the impact of a conservative, pharmacist-led, U-500R insulin management protocol on diabetes control (A1c) and total daily dosage requirements between August 2016 and August 2018. METHODS: This was a retrospective chart review of adult patients, aged 18 to 79, with type 2 diabetes and managed with insulin, at 2 federally qualified healthcare clinics in Denver, Colorado. To determine if our conservative pharmacist-led U-500R insulin management protocol impacted efficacy and total daily dosage requirements when converting patients from U-100 to U-500R insulin, we compared the most effective dose of U-500R (defined as the total daily dose (TDD) of U-500R insulin at A1c goal or the lowest tolerated A1c) to the baseline A1c and TDD of U-100 insulin at time of conversion...

INTRODUCTION: For older adults with type 2 diabetes, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Framework uses comorbidities and functional status to categorize patients by estimated life expectancy to guide individualization of glycemic treatment. We evaluated whether modifying the ADA Framework by removing three comorbidities and incorporating age could improve life expectancy stratification and better identify patients likely to benefit from intensive treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined 3166 Health and Retirement Study participants aged ≥65 with diabetes from 1998 to 2004, using a prospective cohort design with mortality follow-up through 2016...

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease because of the accelerated process of atherosclerosis. Obesity is an established risk factor and has gained immense importance in recent studies as an important risk factor for clinical cardiovascular disease, yet the fundamental component stays unclear. Calf circumference is another form for lean mass and peripheral subcutaneous fat and is inversely associated with the occurrence of carotid plaques (CP)...
