A comprehensive review of the FDA-approved labels of diabetes drugs: indications, safety, and emerging cardiovascular safety data
FDA-approved drug labels are an important source of information for clinicians who prescribe medications for treatment of diabetes. We reviewed drug labels to (1) understand the landscape of classes of medications approved for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (2) explore the indications and safety information and (3) examine their cardiovascular safety.

Reduction of depressive symptoms predicts improved glycaemic control: Secondary results from the DIAMOS study
Evidence from randomised trials analysing effects of depression treatment on glycaemic control in group comparisons is inconsistent. The aim of this study was to test if the reduction of depressive symptoms would explain improved glycaemic control irrespective of treatment groups.

Screening for sexual dissatisfaction among people with type 2 diabetes in primary care
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of sexual dissatisfaction, sexual problems and need for help by using a screening instrument among people with T2DM in primary care. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Multimorbidity is associated with increased rates of depression in patients hospitalized with diabetes mellitus in the United States
Information on the burden and risk factors for diabetes-depression comorbidity in the US is sparse. We used data from the largest all-payer, nationally-representative inpatient database in the US to estimate the prevalence, temporal trends, and risk factors for comorbid depression among adult diabetic inpatients.

Variants m.13276G > A in the MT-ND5 and m.8241T > G in the MT-CO2 gene are not responsible for maternally inherited diabetes and deafness
We read with interest the article by Tabebi et al. about a Tunesian family with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD)1 MIDD in case III/3 was attributed to the novel variants m.13276G>A in the MT-ND5 and m.8241T>G in the MT-CO2 gene respectively.1 We have the following comments and concerns.

Prevalence and Incidence of Urinary Tract and Genital Infections Among Patients with and without Type 2 Diabetes
Epidemiological data on genitourinary infections (GUIs) comparing patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is scant. We aimed to estimate the incidence of urinary tract infections (UTIs), genital infections (GIs), or any GUI in total and stratified by history of GUI and sex.

Impact of Diabetes on Heart Failure Incidence in Adults with Ischemic Heart Disease

Are estrogens promoting immune modulation and islet protection in type 1 diabetes?
Epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence suggests that the main female hormone 17 β-estradiol (E2) protects the islet environment against autoimmune and metabolic insults to delay type 1 diabetes (T1D) in humans. Perhaps the most compelling evidence is the observation that T1D is one of the few common autoimmune diseases that does not exhibit a female predominance. In fact, T1D onset is characterized by a male predominance (sex ratio M/F: 1.7).1 The onset of puberty is often associated with a decreased incidence of T1D in girls2,3 who initially retain stronger residual β-cell function (non-fasting C-peptide) t...

Normal Uric Acid Levels in Nascent Metabolic Syndrome Patients residing in Northern California
The Metabolic Syndrome (Met S) predisposes to an increased risk for both diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (1). In patients with nascent Met S defined by the absence of diabetes or clinical CVD we have shown in a series of papers that these patients have impaired endothelial progenitor cells function, increased oxidative stress, increased inflammation manifest by both circulating and cellular biomediators and dysregulation of adipose tissue biology (2-5). Whilst hyperuricemia is not an accepted criterion for the diagnosis of Met S many have suggested that serum uric acid (SUA) levels are uniformly elevated (6-7). (Sourc...
