Women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a 40% excess risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) compared to men due to the interaction between sex and gender factors in the development, risk, and outcomes of the disease. Our aim was to assess differences between women and men with T2DM in the management and degree of control of cardiovascular ri...

Background The changes of endothelial function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are closely associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, it is still unclear whether commonly used antidiabetic drugs can improve endothelial function. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a noninvasive tool for evaluating endothelial ...

Posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) can increase morbidity and mortality in liver transplant recipients. Although hepatitis C seropositivity is a known risk factor for PTDM, the impact of viremia versus no viremia at time of transplant is unknown. This program evaluation sought to compare PTDM in hepatitis C seropositive patients with and witho...

Background and Purpose The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children has been increasing associated with insulin resistance. However, there is a scarcity of related studies in children with NAFLD with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to adults. We conducted this study to investigate the association between non-inva...

Historians of diabetes have long claimed that physicians were aware of two distinct types of diabetes mellitus by the 1880s, and that these were the direct forerunners of type 1, juvenile-onset and type 2, adult-onset diabetes. French physician Étienne Lancereaux (1829-1910), based on autopsy and clinical studies, classified diabetes either as diab...

Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between short-term (≤12 months) changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Method A total of 2,599 patients with T2D were enrolled if they were registered in the Diabetes Sharecare Information System, were aged 1...

Aim Elevated serum ferritin has been found to be closely related to type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to explore the relationship of high serum ferritin to metabolism and chronic complications in type 2 diabetes. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 330 type 2 diabetes patients who visited an endocrine clinic were included ...

Background A large variety of factors can affect colorectal cancer (CRC) survival, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and paraneoplastic thrombocytosis. Although several common factors play a role in their development and platelets are damaged in both diseases, the combined relationship of the three conditions was never investigated previous...

Introduction Insomnia is a novel pathogen for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, mechanisms linking insomnia and T2DM are poorly understood. In this study, we apply a network Mendelian randomization (MR) framework to determine the causal association between insomnia and T2DM and identify the potential mediators, including overweight (body ma...

Introduction Mechanistic studies suggest that type 2 diabetes is independently associated with low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Little is known about the CRF profile in type 2 diabetes; we assessed the correlates of low CRF among overweight/obese adults with type 2 diabetes. Research design and methods A total of 4215 participants with type 2 d...
