The cumulative effects of this changing landscape on CF–related diabetes (CFRD) are unclear. We examined trends in CFRD epidemiology over time using data from the U.S. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (CFFPR). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS CFFPR data from 2003 to 2018 were queried to determine annual screening, incidence, and prevalence rates of CFRD. Individuals with incident CFRD were compared with individuals without CFRD. Survival analyses were performed to estimate the cumulative hazard of CFRD given predictors of interest over the 15 years of study. Data were also grouped into three time periods (2003–2008, 2009–2013, and 2014–2018) to investigate whether the hazard of developing CFRD varied over time. RESULTS CFRD screening rates increased from 2003 to 2018, particularly in 10- to 18-year-olds. Although screening rates increased in adults, overall rates remained low. In 10- to 18-year-olds, the incidence of CFRD was stable over time, while incident cases in adults steadily decreased, approaching incident rates in adolescents. Despite this, the prevalence of CFRD has gradually increased in adults, likely reflecting increased longevity. Age, female sex, Black race, severe mutation class, liver disease, poorer lung function, pancreatic insufficiency, enteric feeds, and low and high BMI were all risk factors associated with CFRD. CONCLUSIONS Findings support the need for the development of tailored CFRD screening algorithms and increased subspecialists to care for a growing population of adults with CF and CF-associated comorbidities.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144066520","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 In the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, we evaluated serum ImP, histidine, and ImP-to-histidine ratio at baseline (2008–2011) and their cross-sectional associations with dietary intake and prospective associations with incident T2D over ∼12 years (n = 4,632). In a subsample with gut microbiota data during a follow-up visit (2016–2018), we examined gut microbial species associated with serum ImP and their potential interactions with dietary intake. RESULTS Serum ImP and ImP-to-histidine ratio were positively associated with incident T2D (hazard ratio [95% CI] = 1.17 [1.00–1.36] and 1.33 [1.14–1.55], respectively, comparing highest and lowest tertiles), whereas histidine was inversely associated with incident T2D (hazard ratio = 0.75 [95% CI 0.64–0.86]). A higher amount of fiber intake was associated with lower serum ImP level and ImP-to-histidine ratio, whereas histidine intake was not associated with serum ImP level in the overall sample. Fifty-three bacterial species, including 19 putative ImP producers, were associated with serum ImP. Histidine intake was positively associated with serum ImP and ImP-to-histidine ratio only in participants with a high ImP-associated gut microbiota score (P = 0.03 and 0.02, respectively, for interaction). The associations of fiber intake with serum ImP and ImP-to-histidine ratio were partly mediated by ImP-associated gut microbiota (proportion mediated = 31.4% and 19.8%, respectively).

This study investigated whether changes in metabolic status from adolescence to young adulthood are associated with the risk of progressive cardiac remodeling and examined potential mechanistic pathways. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS From the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), U.K. cohort, 1,595 adolescents, mean (SD) age 17.7 (0.4) years, who had data on fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels, and echocardiography left ventricular (LV) mass indexed for height raised to the power of 2.7 (LVMI2.7) and in whom these factors repeatedly were measured at a clinic visit when they were aged 24 years were included. HOMA-IR was computed, hyperglycemia was defined as glucose concentration of ≥5.6 mmol/L and ≥6.1 mmol/L, and LV hypertrophy was defined as LVMI2.7 ≥51g/m2.7. RESULTS The prevalence of LV hypertrophy increased from 2.4% at baseline to 7.1% at follow-up. Each unit increase of glucose (β = 0.37 g/m2.7 [95% CI 0.23–0.52]; P < 0.001) and HOMA-IR (1.10 g/m2.7 [0.63–1.57]; P < 0.001) was independently associated with increased LVMI2.7 over 7 years. Persistent hyperglycemia of 5.6 mmol/L and 6.1 mmol/L was associated with higher odds (odds ratio [OR] 1.46 [95% CI 1.35–1.47], P < 0.001; and 3.10 [95% CI 1.19–8.08], P = 0.021, respectively) of worsening LV hypertrophy over 7 years. Increased fat mass (62% mediation) significantly mediated the association of increased HOMA-IR with increased LVMI2.7.

Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that lifestyle modification is cost-effective in preventing diabetes. Implementation studies showed the feasibility of delivering real-world structured lifestyle modification programs adapted from the U.S. Diabetes Prevention Program trial. However, the current approach to diabetes prevention in the U.S. has been largely inadequate thus far, as evidenced by the stagnant numbers of people with prediabetes and the growing number of those with diabetes. The many gaps in the implementation of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) can be characterized as due to macro-level barriers (failures of pay-for-performance reimbursement, an undersupply of lifestyle change programs), micro-level barriers (low and disparate reach, low referral and retention rates in the program), variable fidelity in implementation, and limitations of a one-size-fits-all intervention. All of these issues point to a need for reexamining strategies for diabetes prevention in the U.S., which is yet to show benefits or value at the population level. This article details how prediabetes is currently suboptimally addressed in clinical practice and communities in the U.S. and articulates why there is an urgent need to rethink our approach to addressing prediabetes, possibly through integration of synergistic individual- and societal-levels approaches.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920104","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}

Despite various basal insulin titration strategies being available, their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. PURPOSE To compare the effectiveness of different basal insulin titration strategies on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL, and EBSCO Open Dissertations were searched from inception to January 2024. STUDY SELECTION We included published trials with evaluation of basal insulin titration strategies for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. DATA EXTRACTION Data on HbA1c and severe hypoglycemia were extracted. DATA SYNTHESIS Studies were categorized with the theme, intensity, and provider/platform (TIP) framework. “Theme” referred to conventional titration (Conv) or self-titration (ST), “intensity” was categorized as high (Conv, >1/month; ST, ≥2/week) or low (Conv, ≤1/month; ST, <2/week), and for “provider/platform” categories included supported by health care provider (HCP for Conv or S-HCP for ST), patient led (Pt), and supported by application (S-App). The ST/High/S-HCP strategy resulted in the greatest HbA1c reduction in comparison with all others (e.g., ST/High/S-App, mean difference −0.75 [95% CI −1.26, −0.25], and Conv/Low/HCP, −1.19 [95% CI −1.67, −0.72]). Severe hypoglycemia risk did not differ significantly across strategies. LIMITATIONS The number of studies per network meta-analysis was limited, and not all TIP combinations were evaluated. CONCLUSIONS Self-titration at least twice a week with health care provider support leads to superior HbA1c reduction in comparison with other strategies, without increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia. This approach should be considered for clinical practice, where appropriate, to achieve optimal glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"25 1","pages":"837-845"},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143920212","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 A placebo-controlled, single-blinded, crossover, randomized trial including women with and without GDM (20–36 weeks’ gestation) was performed. Participants were studied in the laboratory and at home. In the laboratory, women were randomized to consume 20 g of whey or placebo 30 min before undergoing, 7–14 days later, a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Blood was sampled consecutively 3 hours following the OGTT. The primary end point was the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for glucose. At home, participants wore continuous glucose monitors and, on subsequent days, randomly consumed 0, 10, 15, 20, and 30 g of whey 30 min before breakfast. RESULTS Twelve women with GDM and 12 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) to part in the trials. Intake of premeal whey resulted in lowered peak glucose by −1.0 mmol/L (95% CI −1.6 to −0.4) in women with GDM and −0.7 mmol/L (95% CI −1.3 to −0.1) in women without GDM compared with placebo. Insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon-like peptide-1 levels increased rapidly after whey consumption in both groups.
