However, whether outcomes in subtypes of individuals at risk for T2D and/or comorbidities (Tübingen Clusters) differ, is unknown. Of these, cluster 5 (C5) and cluster 6 (C6) are high-risk clusters for developing T2D and/or comorbidities, while cluster 4 (C4) is a low-risk cluster. We investigated bariatric surgery outcomes, hypothesizing that high-risk clusters benefit most due to great potential for metabolic improvement. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We allocated participants without T2D but at risk for T2D, defined by elevated BMI, to the Tübingen Clusters. Participants had normal glucose regulation or prediabetes according to American Diabetes Association criteria. Two cohorts underwent bariatric surgery: a discovery (Lille, France) and a replication cohort (Rome, Italy). A control cohort (Tübingen, Germany) received behavioral modification counseling. Main outcomes included alteration of glucose regulation parameters and prediabetes remission. RESULTS In the discovery cohort, 15.0% of participants (n = 121) were allocated to C4, 22.3% (n = 180) to C5, and 62.4% (n = 503) to C6. Relative body weight loss was similar among all clusters; however, reduction of insulin resistance and improvement of β-cell function were strongest in C5. Prediabetes remission rate was lowest in low-risk C4 and highest in high-risk C5. Individuals from high-risk clusters changed to low-risk clusters in both bariatric surgery cohorts but not in the control cohort. CONCLUSIONS Participants in C5 had the highest benefit from bariatric surgery in terms of improvement in insulin resistance, β-cell function, and prediabetes remission. This novel classification might help identify individuals who will benefit specifically from bariatric surgery.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143822734","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}

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a serial cross-sectional analysis of U.S. birth certificate data (2016–2021) from individuals with a singleton first livebirth. The exposure was self-reported maternal race and ethnicity stratified by Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese versus non-Hispanic White as the reference. Maternal outcomes included: primary cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), intensive care unit admission, and transfusion. Neonatal outcomes included large-for-gestational-age (LGA), small-for-gestational-age (SGA), preterm birth, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.

RESULTS Weight loss 1) decreased adipose tissue expression of genes related to extracellular matrix remodeling; 2) decreased adipose tissue expression of SERPINE 1, which encodes plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1); 3) did not decrease adipose tissue immune cell content or expression of genes involved in inflammation; 4) decreased adipose tissue ceramide content; 5) decreased plasma PAI-1 and leptin concentrations and increased plasma high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin; and 6) decreased plasma small extracellular vesicle (sEV) concentration and the sEV content of microRNAs proposed to inhibit insulin action, and completely reversed the inhibitory effect of plasma sEVs on insulin signaling in myotubes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this cohort study emulating a target trial, we included all adult metformin users initiating SGLT2i or GLP-1RAs in Denmark in 2016–2021 and used inverse-probability of treatment (IPT) weighting to balance potential confounders. We estimated IPT-weighted risk and risk ratios of community- or hospital-treated UTI and GTI, performing both intention-to-treat and on-treatment analyses. RESULTS This study included 52,414 SGLT2i initiators and 27,023 GLP-1RA initiators with a median follow-up of 2.9 to 3.9 years. The estimated risks of UTI within the first year were nearly identical: 10.0% in SGLT2i and 10.2% in GLP-1RAs in intention-to-treat analyses corresponding to a risk ratio of 0.98 (95% CI 0.94, 1.03). For GTI, the 1-year risks were elevated under SGLT2i therapy at 2.0% vs. 0.7% (risk ratio 2.95 [95% CI 2.52, 3.44]). During the 5-year follow-up, the relative UTI risk remained almost constant (0.96 [95% CI 0.94, 0.99]) whereas the GTI risk ratio with SGLT2is decreased to 1.64 (95% CI 1.49, 1.80).

We paired continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with ambulatory cognitive testing to examine bidirectional associations among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants wore blinded CGM and completed ambulatory tests of perceptual speed and sustained attention five or six times daily for 14 days. CGM metrics were calculated over 3-h periods (mean glucose, %time in range [70–180 mg/dL], %time in low [<70 mg/dL], %time in high [181–250 mg/dL], %time in very high [>250 mg/dL], and coefficient of variation). Immediate glucose values within 15 min of cognitive assessments were also examined. Dynamic structural equation models evaluated bidirectional relationships over sequential 3-h periods. RESULTS Among 182 diverse adults with T1D (age 40 ± 14 years, 46% male, 41% Latino, 29% White, 15% Black), more time in low glucose over 3 h was associated with slower perceptual speed at the end of that interval (P < 0.05) but not 3 h later. More time in high glucose (>250) was associated with faster perceptual speed initially but slower speed 3 h later (P < 0.05). Physical activity partially mediated the effect of high glucose on slower perceptual speed. Glycemia did not predict attention scores within persons. Lower attention and higher perceptual speed predicted higher mean glucose and more time in very high glucose over the following 3 h (P < 0.05).

With the availability of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, basal insulin (BI) therapy is no longer the first-line option after lifestyle modification plus oral agents is insufficient. In contrast to BI, the newer medications require minor titration, lower hyperglycemia in a glucose-dependent manner, and reduce body weight. Importantly, the newer agents reduce cardiorenal events in the short term. Nonetheless, insulin therapy continues to play a key role in control of hyperglycemia and therefore long-term prevention of vascular complications. Its use is essential in many circumstances, including metabolic emergencies, new diabetes onset, latent autoimmune diabetes (LADA), pregnancy, and when other agents are less desirable due to comorbidities. BI is needed in the frequent condition of failure of other therapies to keep HbA1c to target and/or intolerance of them. There are several advantages to the combination of BI with the newer medications given their different but complementary mechanisms of action, primarily, the lower dose of each, improving adherence and outcomes while decreasing the side effects. Multiple choices for single or combination use can better meet the variety of clinical phenotypes in the heterogeneous T2DM population, using the tenets of precision medicine.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672363","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}
