RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cohort study included 199,006 U.S. adults from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) (1984–2018), NHSII (1991–2019), and Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986–2018); free of T2D, cardiovascular disease, and cancer at baseline; and followed over 30 years. Diet was assessed every 2–4 years using validated food frequency questionnaires since baseline. Five LCD scores were derived based on intakes of protein, fat, and carbohydrates from contrasting food sources. The primary outcome was incident T2D. RESULTS During 4,987,761 person-years of follow-up, 20,452 T2D cases were documented. After adjustments for baseline BMI and other covariates, higher overall LCD score was associated with higher T2D risk (hazard ratio comparing highest vs. lowest quintile 1.31 [95% CI 1.25–1.37]; P-trend < 0.001). An animal-based LCD emphasizing animal protein and fat and an unhealthy LCD score further deemphasizing whole grains and other high-quality carbohydrates were associated with higher T2D risk (1.39 [1.32–1.45] and 1.44 [1.37–1.51]; both P-trend < 0.001). In contrast, a vegetable-based LCD emphasizing plant protein and fat was associated with a 6% lower T2D risk (0.94 [0.90–0.98]; P-trend = 0.004), and a healthy LCD further deemphasizing refined carbohydrates was associated with a 16% lower T2D risk (0.84 [0.81–0.88]; P-trend < 0.001]). Associations for overall, animal-based, and unhealthy LCDs were stronger among participants with lower baseline BMI and were partially mediated by weight change.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We constructed an incidence cohort of all adults (18 years or older) with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) health care system between 2005 and 2016 (n = 129,000), following patients for at least 1 year, but up to 12 years. Using this cohort, we modeled 17 distinct diabetes-related outcomes related to micro- and macrovascular disease, as well as atrial fibrillation, depression, dementia, relevant biomarkers, and mortality. RESULTS Data were randomly split into 50%, 25%, and 25% samples to perform model estimation, calibration, and validation, respectively. Empirical and simulated data were similar for the events and biomarkers, but some factors required calibration. After calibration, they closely aligned with empirical estimates. CONCLUSIONS The resulting Diabetes Outcome Model of the U.S. (DOMUS) is a major step forward in understanding diabetes progression and the role of social determinants of health. This model can be used by scientists, policymakers, and health system managers to better understand how choices can affect population health and health disparities, including the broad diversity of U.S. races and ethnicities. Moreover, this model can be used to realize longer-term comparative effectiveness in cost-effectiveness analyses for diabetes management in the future.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"89 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145141547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to determine whether universal GDM screening using a single oral glucose intolerance test (OGTT) at 18–20 weeks’ gestation improves pregnancy outcomes compared with standard screening at 24–28 weeks’ gestation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a dual-center, parallel, randomized controlled trial with a planned interim analysis in singleton pregnant women to compare the effect of midpregnancy screening for GDM at 18–20 weeks’ gestation and standard screening at 24–28 weeks’ gestation. GDM was universally screened and diagnosed using 75-g OGTTs and the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. The primary outcome was a composite measure of primary cesarean delivery, birth weight >90th percentile, neonatal hypoglycemia, cord serum C-peptide >90th percentile, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and birth trauma. RESULTS The trial was stopped early for futility after the interim analysis. Of the 967 women included in the intention-to-treat analysis, the primary outcome was not significantly different between the two groups. Neonatal hypoglycemia was significantly lower and neonatal adiposity in women with GDM was higher in the midpregnancy screening group compared with the standard screening group. Adverse event rates were similar between the two groups.

This prespecified analysis evaluated whether safety and efficacy of combination therapy varies by baseline glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) use. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Adults with chronic kidney disease (UACR ≥100 to <5,000 mg/g; estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 30–90 mL/min/1.73 m2) and type 2 diabetes (glycated hemoglobin <11% [97 mmol/mol]) were randomized (1:1:1) to once-daily finerenone, empagliflozin, or finerenone plus empagliflozin. RESULTS Among 800 participants, 182 (23%) used a GLP-1 RA at baseline. At day 180, UACR change from baseline in participants using a GLP-1 RA was −51% (95% CI −59 to −40%) with combination therapy, −34% (−48 to −18%) with finerenone, and −36% (−48 to −21%) with empagliflozin.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS All singleton births in Victoria, Australia, between 2009 and 2020 were linked with perinatal and diabetes data. For each diabetes subgroup (type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes [diet-controlled, insulin-controlled]), we assessed the proportion of infants with a birth weight in <10th or >97th centile, the probability of stillbirth by birth weight centile, and stillbirth rate per 1,000 pregnancies across gestational age. RESULTS Our study cohort of 860,042 included 100,856 pregnancies (11.7%) complicated by diabetes in pregnancy. Compared with no diabetes, women with diabetes in pregnancy gave birth earlier (median gestation 38.7 weeks vs. 39.4) and had more iatrogenic births (65% vs. 44%). Gestational diabetes was associated with a lower overall risk of stillbirth compared with no diabetes (diet-controlled: relative risk [RR] 0.75 [95% CI 0.64–0.89]; insulin-controlled: RR 0.37 [95% CI 0.25–0.50]). Compared with no diabetes, preexisting diabetes was associated with an increased risk of stillbirth (RR 2.68 [95% CI 2.01–3.56]), with this trend persisting across all gestational ages and birth weights.

Yet, people living with type 1 diabetes still face dysglycemia, weight gain, vascular complications, ketoacidosis and severe hypoglycemia, and psychological distress. Cardiovascular and kidney disease remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, yet traditional risk factors (smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, hyperglycemia) incompletely explain this excess burden. Emerging evidence highlights the role of insulin resistance, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction exacerbated by current subcutaneous insulin therapies in type 1 diabetes, independent of overweight/obesity status. This has fueled interest in addressing metabolic challenges in type 1 diabetes through novel insulin analogs, adjunctive noninsulin therapies, and integrated technologies. Our review explores the potential synergy between technologies and adjunctive therapeutics to address unique physiologic drivers of metabolic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes. Innovations such as multihormonal systems, dynamic glucose and ketone monitoring, and automated insulin titration hold promise. However, leveraging emerging insights from nutrient-stimulated hormone-based therapies and other drug classes such as insulin-sensitizing agents and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors could pave the way for designing combination type 1 diabetes–specific therapies. Large, placebo-controlled trials are needed to progress the field toward use of combination therapies that reduce metabolic and vascular complications and ease patient burden in type 1 diabetes.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144919053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
