The effect of increasing tertiles of waist circumference on cardio-metabolic risk, adipokines and biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in nascent metabolic syndrome
The effect of waist circumference (WC) on cardio-metabolic features and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation and adipose tissue dysregulation is poorly defined in Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). Hence the aim of this study was to examine the effect of increasing tertiles of WC on the cardio metabolic risk profile, pro-oxidant state, pro-inflammatory state and adipose tissue dysregulation in nascent MetS patients (n  = 59) without diabetes or CVD.

Diabetes status is linked to low health literacy: Implications for health system
Numerous clinic- based studies over the last 25  years have found an association between health literacy and patients' diabetes knowledge, distress, self- confidence, self- management behavior, glycemic control and health outcomes.1–8 In this issue of the Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications, Dr. Quartuccio and colleagues sought to deter mine if lower health literacy was associated with diabetes and/or hyperglycemia in older adults and if this relationship differed by sex.9 The study is unique in that it across sectional analysis from the Health Aging and Body Composition (ABC) study, a 20-year longitudinal cohort...

Metabolomic profiling of women with gestational diabetes mellitus and their offspring: Review of metabolomics studies
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reflects an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) after pregnancy in women. Offspring born to mothers with GDM are at an elevated risk of obesity and T2D at a young age. Currently, there are lack of ways for identifying women in early pregnancy who are at risk of developing GDM. As a result, both mothers and fetus are not treated until late in the second trimester when GDM is diagnosed. The recent advance in metabolomics, a new approach of systematic investigation of the metabolites, provides an opportunity for early detection of GDM, and classifying the risk of subsequent c...

Metabolomic profiling of women with gestational diabetes mellitus and their offspring: Review of metabolomics studies
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reflects an increased risk of subsequently developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) after pregnancy in women. Offspring born to mothers with GDM are at an elevated risk of developing obesity and T2D at a young age. Currently, there are a lack of tools with high sensitivity and high specificity capable of identifying women in early pregnancy who are at risk of developing GDM. As a result, both mothers and fetus are not treated until late in the second trimester when GDM is diagnosed. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Transmission disequilibrium of rs4809957 in type 2 diabetes mellitus families and its association with vitamin D deficiency: A family-based case –control study
Association between T2DM and vitamin D was found in many epidemiologic reports. And 24-hydroxylase encoded by CYP24A1 is the very enzyme that degrades the active vitamin D metabolite. We aimed to investigate the association between rs4809957 in CYP24A1 and T2DM, as well as vitamin D level. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Trends in cardiovascular risk factor management in type 1 diabetes by sex
DCCT showed that intensive type 1 diabetes management reduces complication incidence but did not focus on other cardiovascular disease risk factors, whose control in type 1 diabetes has not been well-studied. We assessed trends in cardiovascular risk factors in type 1 diabetes and attainment of concurrent American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines/recommendations (for HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides) for complication prevention.

Macronutrient intake and oxidative stress/inflammation in type 1 diabetes
The association of oxidative stress and inflammation with diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, has been established for a long time.1 –6 Thus, increased lipid peroxidation with an increase in TBARS was the first evidence of oxidative stress.7,8 The occurrence of oxidative damage to DNA and protein carbonylation in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes was first described by Dandona et al.9 One of the known mechanisms related to the in duction of oxidative stress and inflammation is macronutrient intake, especially carbohydrates and fats.
