The ongoing uncertainty about whether glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) should be considered significant dietary factors in the prevention of chronic diseases in the general population. Understanding the relationship between dietary GI and GL and type 2 diabetes mellitus is important, especially in Asian populations where carbohydrate-rich diets are prevalent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The meta-analysis published in &lt;i&gt;The Lancet&lt;/i&gt; in 2019 extensively reviewed the impact of carbohydrate quality on health. It highlighted that while low GI and low GL diets are linked to a reduced incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular mortality, stroke mortality, and breast cancer incidence, these findings were accompanied by inconsistent benefits on overall mortality and the incidence of non-communicable diseases. The study also noted variable reductions in the risk for different health outcomes based on the quality of carbohydrate intake, particularly emphasizing the significant health benefits associated with high dietary fiber and whole grain intakes&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2024, a new meta-analysis was published in &lt;i&gt;The Lancet Diabetes &amp; Endocrinology&lt;/i&gt;, examining the associations between the GI and GL with major health outcomes such as the incidence of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, diabetes-related cancers, and all-cause mortality.

The four recipients were selected from patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes (≥25 years), with no significant secondary complications of the disease, but unfair metabolic control, and out-of-range glycated hemoglobin levels. Under local anesthesia, and using ecography guidance, the microencapsulated human islets were delivered by gravity into the peritoneal cavity. No adverse effects during and after the procedure were observed. The clinical outcome was consistent with successful graft function, as assessed as by: (1) serum C-peptide levels, that were undetectable before the graft, and appeared and were sustained in all patients, rising to 2 ng/dL in one recipient (high sensitivity C-reactive protein assay); (2) significant improvement of several biochemical parameters, such as fasting and post-prandial blood glucose levels, stabilization of glycated hemoglobin values ≤7%, and 50–75% reduction of the exogenous insulin daily dose (with 1/4 patients going off insulin, although transiently), throughout 400 days post-transplant, when the graft function was lost; (3) disappearance of nocturnal hypoglycemia unawareness in all recipients; and (4) no immune sensitization to islet cell antigens (negative ICA, anti-GAD65 and anti-HLA I–II antibodies) at 3 years post-TX in all recipients, which confirmed the immunobarrier competence associated with the AG/PLO microcapsules. Retrieval of a fraction of microcapsules from patient 1 at 3 years of TX showed almost still intact microspheres, containing no longer viable islets&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. During the subsequent years, all four patients reverted back to their usual daily insulin schedule.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently, at 20 years of the TX, we wished to clinically re-evaluate the four patients. All of them are disease-free, except for type 1 diabetes, and enjoy fair metabolic control, on intensive exogenous insulin therapy. The four patients have undertaken clinical chemistry profile testing, as well as chest and abdominal imaging procedures (Table 1). Neither side-effects, related to the intraperitoneal microencapsulated islet grafting procedure, nor abnormalities at the level of either internal organs or clinical chemistry parameters, were detected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, intraperitoneal AG/PLO microencapsulated islet allografts have been proven to represent a safe procedure, virtually free of any unwanted sequelae, at 20 years post-TX, despite the finite functional lifespan of the graft. Although a search for better-performing graft sites, as well as alternative sources of insulin-producing cells, are actively being pursued, the AG/PLO-based microcapsule","PeriodicalId":51250,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes Investigation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jdi.14300","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142118560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
