Obesity--a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes?

The aim of the study was to investigate whether obesity, independently or associated with other risk factors, increases the risk for the diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetic persons. Data of 156 diabetic persons that have consecutively attended the Outpatient Department in the Vuk Vrhovac Institute in Zagreb during two months period were studied. According to their body mass index (BMI) they were divided into three groups: group 1 (BMI < or = 25; n = 49), group 2 (BMI 26-29.9; n = 52) and group 3 (BMI > or = 30; n = 55). The three groups did not differ in age, duration of diabetes, treatment, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides. With increase in BMI, we observed a significant deterioration of HbA1c and a significant increase in LDL-cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Statistical analyses shown that the prevalence of retinopathy increased significantly with higher body weight (gr. 1: 40.8%, gr. 2: 63.4%, gr. 3: 63.6%;p < 0.05), but also with correlation to quality of metabolic control (HbA1c) and systolic blood pressure. Therefore, obesity may be, because of its significant correlation to quality of metabolic control (HbA1c) and systolic blood pressure, considered as risk factor for diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetic persons.     

Adiponectin concentrations as a criterion of metabolic control in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Adiponectin (ADP) is an adipocytokin with many antiatherogenic properties; its decreased level is associated with numerous atherogenic diseases and syndromes (e.g. diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and obesity). Decreased ADP values in blood may be an independent risk factor of atherosclerotic (ATS) complications. AIM OF THE STUDY: 1) Do persons with type 2 diabetes have lower ADP values than individuals without DM but with a high risk of ATS complications? 2) Do ADP values differ between persons with well controlled and persons with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes? We examined 109 patients of the Metabolic Center of Hospital Sternberk. Out of them, 58 had type 2 diabetes, others were individuals with variously expressed risk factors of early atherosclerosis (obesity, hypertension, age, family history, smoking, dyslipidemia, etc.). In all persons under this study the following parameters were determined in peripheral venous blood: adiponectin, resistin, leptin, ObRe, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, glucose, HbA1c, creatinine, urea, ALT, AST, CRP, homocysteine, thrombocyte aggregation after CPG induction. The whole group was divided according to the presence of type 2DM into two subgroups; persons with diabetes were divided into the well controlled and uncontrolled subgroups. All data obtained were processed statistically using the software SPSS for Windows and Medcalc. The adiponectin/BMI index correlated negatively with HbA1c value (correlation coefficient -0.37, p = 0.00053), triacylglycerols (-0.4, p = 0.000001), P-glucose (-0.3, p = 0.0017), uricemia (-0.35, p = 0.0007) and positively with HDL-cholesterol value (0.6, p=0.00001). Women had higher adiponectin values than men. Persons with hypertension and with diabetes mellitus, individuals with atherogenic lipotype or persons with inflammation signs had lower values than individuals without these diseases and syndromes. Persons with wellcontrolled diabetes mellitus had higher values than persons with uncontrolled diabetes (medians of the adiponectin/BMI index 9.7 vs. 6.7, p < 0.01). Persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus have lower ADP values than persons with a high ATS risk without diabetes mellitus. Persons with wellcontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM) and with satisfactory compensation have significantly higher ADP levels (independently of other metabolic parameters of DM control). ADP may be a new marker of metabolic control in persons with a high risk of atherosclerotic complications.

Efficacy of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue, on body weight, eating behavior, and glycemic control, in Japanese obese type 2 diabetes

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: We recently reported that short-term treatment with liraglutide (20.0 +/- 6.4 days) reduced body weight and improved some scales of eating behavior in Japanese type 2 diabetes inpatients. However, it remained uncertain whether such liraglutide-induced improvement is maintained after discharge from the hospital. The aim of the present study was to determine the long-term effects of liraglutide on body weight, glycemic control, and eating behavior in Japanese obese type 2 diabetics. METHODS: Patients with obesity (body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2) and type 2 diabetes were hospitalized at Osaka University Hospital between November 2010 and December 2011. BMI and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were examined on admission, at discharge and at 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge. For the liraglutide group (BMI; 31.3 +/- 5.3 kg/m2, n = 29), patients were introduced to liraglutide after correction of hyperglycemic by insulin or oral glucose-lowering drugs and maintained on liraglutide after discharge. Eating behavior was assessed in patients treated with liraglutide using The Guideline For Obesity questionnaire issued by the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity, at admission, discharge, 3 and 6 months after discharge. For the insulin group (BMI; 29.1 +/- 3.0 kg/m2, n = 28), each patient was treated with insulin during hospitalization and glycemic control maintained by insulin after discharge. RESULTS: Liraglutide induced significant and persistent weight loss from admission up to 6 months after discharge, while no change in body weight after discharge was noted in the insulin group. Liraglutide produced significant improvements in all major scores of eating behavior questionnaire items and such effect was maintained at 6 months after discharge. Weight loss correlated significantly with the decrease in scores for recognition of weight and constitution, sense of hunger, and eating style. CONCLUSION: Liraglutide produced meaningful long-term weight loss and significantly improved eating behavior in obese Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Insulin requirement profiles and related factors of insulin pump therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion(CSII) is an effective therapy to control hyperglycemia in both patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.However,there is little data investigating the insulin dose setting during CSII therapy in type 2 diabetes to achieve optimal glycemic control and avoid the risk of hypoglycemia.Thus,this study is aimed to assess the dose characteristics of insulin requirement and explore the related clinical factors in patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with CSII.A total of 327 patients(195 males) aged 52.9±12.5 years old were included in this study.Patients were treated with CSII to achieve the target fasting capillary blood glucose(4.4-7.0 mmol L ~(-1)) and 2-h postprandial capillary blood glucose(4.4-10.0 mmol L ~(-1)) by adjusting insulin infusion according to the seven-point capillary blood glucose profiles.Total daily insulin dose(TDD),total daily insulin dose per kilogram(TDD kg-1) and the ratio of total basal insulin dose(TBD) to TDD(%TBa) were calculated after patients achieved the glucose targets for at least 3 days via 1-2 weeks of CSII treatment.And insulin dose,insulin dosing patterns and the relevant clinical factors were analyzed.The mean ratio of basal/bolus insulin distribution of all patients was 40%:60%.Patients with central obesity needed more TDD(51.3±17.1 U versus 43.5±14.0 U,P0.05) and TDD kg ~(-1)(0.8±0.3 U kg ~(-1) versus 0.7±0.2 U kg ~(-1),P0.05) than those without central obesity.Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated that TDD was positively correlated with body mass index(BMI),waist circumference(WC),baseline fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting C-peptide level,2 h-postprandial C-peptide level and time to achieve glycemic target(all P0.05);TDD kg ~(-1) was positively correlated with waist-to-hip ratio(WHR),baseline FPG,glycosylated hemoglobin Ale(HbAlc),fasting C-peptide level and time to achieve glycemic target,and negatively correlated with BMI(all P0.05).Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that BMI(β=1.796,P0.01),WC(β=0.109,P0.01),baseline FPG(β=1.459,P0.01) and HbAlc(β=0.930,P=0.021) were independently related to TDD.Gender(β=-0.107,P=0.003),WC(β=0.005,P=0.029),baseline FPG(β=0.025,P0.01) and HbAlc(β=0.016,β=0.007) were independently associated with TDD kg ~(-1).Gender(β=-0.015,P=0.048) and disease duration(β=0.134,P=0.029) were independently associated with %TBa.%TBa is around 40% in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes treated with CSII when glycemic control is achieved.In addition to body weight or BMI,WC and glucose levels before CSII should be considered to set TDD.Patients with central obesity or poor glycemic control might need more TDD.Higher %TBa should be considered in female patients or patients with longer disease duration.     

MARCH2: Comparative Assessment of Therapeutic Effects of Acarbose and Metformin in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Background

The data of MARCH (Metformin and AcaRbose in Chinese as the initial Hypoglycaemic treatment) trial demonstrated that acarbose and metformin have similar efficacy as initial therapy for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether the therapeutic efficacy was diversified under different body mass index (BMI) status.

Methods

All 784 subjects were divided into normal-weight group (BMI<24 kg/m²), overweight group (BMI 24–28 kg/m²) and obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m²). Patients were assigned to 48 weeks of therapy with acarbose or metformin, respectively. The clinical trial registry number was ChiCTR-TRC-08000231.

Results

The reduction of HbA1c levels and the proportion of patients with HbA1c of 6.5% or less were similar in the three groups after acarbose and metformin treatment. In overweight group, fasting blood glucose (FBG) after metformin treatment showed greater decline compared to acarbose group at 48 weeks [−1.73 (−1.99 to −1.46) vs. −1.37 (−1.61 to −1.12), P<0.05), however the decrease of 2 h post-challenge blood glucose (PBG) after acarbose treatment at 48 weeks was bigger compared to metformin group [−3.34 (−3.83 to−2.84) vs. −2.35 (−2.85 to −1.85), P<0.01 ]. Both acarbose and metformin treatment resulted in a significant decrease in waist circumference, hip circumference, weight and BMI in the three groups (all P<0.05).

Conclusion

Acarbose and metformin decreased HbA1c levels similarly regardless of BMI status of Chinese type 2 diabetic patients. Acarbose and metformin resulted in a significant and modest improvement of anthropometric parametres in different BMI status. Thus, acarbose treatment may contribute a similar effect on plasma glucose control compared to metformin, even in obesity patients.

BNP及NT-proBNP与2型糖尿病关系的研究进展

BNP及NT-proBNP是诊断心衰的重要指标。近年来BNP及NT-proBNP与2型糖尿病关系的研究有了新的进展。我们收集近年来国内外关于2型糖尿病中BNP及NT-proBNP的相关文献并进行研究。结果显示2型糖尿病合并冠心病、高血压、糖尿病肾病患者BNP或NT-proBNP有升高趋势。单纯2型糖尿病及糖尿病视网膜病变患者以及低血糖患者BNP或NT-proBNP差异无统计学意义。高血压、年龄、性别、体重指数、肾功能及心脏结构功能改变是2型糖尿病患者BNP及NT-proBNP的影响因素。降糖药物对2型糖尿病患者BNP及NT-proBNP水平的研究尚少,糖尿病病程、FPG以及HbA1c对BNP及NT-proBNP的影响尚存在争议。BNP及NT-proBNP升高对2型糖尿病合并冠心病、高血压、糖尿病肾病患者病情评估,预后判断及诊治具有非常重要的意义。降糖药物、糖尿病病程、FPG以及HbA1c对BNP及NT-proBNP的影响需要进一步研究。     

Cardiovascular risk in obese and nonobese patients with type 2 diabetes in the West Indies

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of obesity on glycemic control and the risk of progressing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in obese and nonobese type 2 diabetic patients in primary care settings. METHODS: One hundred and ninety patients (64 men, 126 women) with type 2 diabetes (mean duration 9.2 years) were studied after an overnight fast. Weight, height, waist and hip circumferences and blood pressure were measured and blood samples were taken for glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and creatinine determinations. RESULTS: About 85% of the patients had HbA(1c) levels > 7.0%, and 48% had a diastolic blood pressure (BP) >83 mm Hg, while 40% had a total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio greater than 6. The prevalence rates of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high BP and ratios of total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol between the obese and nonobese patients were similar irrespective of sex (p > 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that ethnicity, sex, age and duration of diabetes had significant impact on the cardiovascular risk in this population. CONCLUSION: Both obese and nonobese diabetic patients had poor glycemic control and their risk of CVD was not independent of age, sex, ethnicity and duration of diabetes. We suggest strict metabolic control and improved diabetes health education at the primary care level.     

Anti-GAD-positive patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus have higher prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis than anti-GAD-negative patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus

The aim of our study was to evaluate antibodies against thyroglobulin (anti-TG) and thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) - markers of autoimmune thyroiditis - in several groups of adult patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). We were particularly interested whether the presence of thyroid antibodies is related to the positivity of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (anti-GAD). We found elevated anti-GAD in 46 % (97/210) patients with type 1 DM. All patients with type 2 diabetes were anti-GAD-negative. At least one thyroid antibody (anti-TG and/or anti-TPO) was found in 30 % (62/210) patients with type 1 DM and 27 % (22/83) type 2 diabetes patients. The patients with type 1 DM were further grouped according to their anti-GAD status. The anti-GAD-positive patients had a higher prevalence of anti-TG antibodies than the anti-GAD-negative patients (25 % vs. 12 %, p=0.03) as well as anti-TPO antibodies (32 % vs. 12 %, p<0.001). At least one thyroid antibody was detected in 39 % (38/97) of anti-GAD-positive but only in 21 % (24/113) of anti-GAD-negative patients with type 1 DM (p=0.006). No significant difference in the frequency of thyroid antibodies was found between anti-GAD-negative patients with type 1 and type 2 DM (21 % vs. 27 %, p=0.4). The groups with or without thyroid antibodies in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients did not differ in actual age, the age at diabetes onset, duration of diabetes, body mass index or HbA1c level. Patients with elevated thyroid antibodies had significantly higher levels of TSH than those without thyroid antibodies (1.86 vs. 3.22 mIU/l, p=0.04 in type 1 DM; 2.06 vs. 4.89 mIU/l, p=0.003 in type 2 DM). We conclude that there is a higher frequency of thyroid-specific antibodies in anti-GAD-positive adult patients with type 1 DM than in anti-GAD-negative patients or in patients with type 2 DM. Patients with or without thyroid antibodies do not differ in age, DM onset and duration, BMI or HbA1c. Thyroid antibodies-positive patients have higher levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

The Relationship Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Diabetes in Central Michigan Adults

Objective: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) predispose individuals to poor health outcomes as adults. Although a dose-response relationship between the number of ACEs and certain chronic illnesses has been shown, the impact of ACEs on diabetes is not thoroughly understood. We investigated the prevalence of ACEs in patients with diabetes and the potential relationship to the severity of diabetes.Methods: Patients with diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) or obesity were surveyed from the Endocrinology & Diabetes Center at McLaren Central Michigan in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. A validated, standard ACE questionnaire was administered to quantify the number of adverse childhood events that patients have experienced. A retrospective chart analysis was then conducted, addressing the relationship of ACEs with the severity of disease in the diabetes group and the obesity group. The number of ACEs was correlated with disease comorbidities, complications, and measurable quantities, such as body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).Results: ACE scores in both diabetes and obesity groups were shown to have a greater prevalence compared to the general ACE average in Michigan. ACE scores also positively correlated to BMI and HbA1c in the diabetes group. Those with higher ACE scores in the diabetes group were also more likely to have depression and anxiety.Conclusion:ACE screening may lead to a greater understanding of the severity of and progression of diabetes. Ultimately, these results could provide support to potential interventional studies leading to the altered management of diabetes in patients with ACEs, or preventative intervention to children with ACEs.Abbreviations: ACE = adverse childhood experiences; BMI = body mass index; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; T1DM = type 1 diabetes mellitus; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus     

Serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor TNFalpha and its soluble receptors in obese women with diabetes type 2 and without additional disease

INTRODUCTION: TNF-alpha is one with mediators insulin resistance. Previous study showed, that in obesity there is an increased synthesis of TNF-alpha by fat cells and serum concentrations of TNF-alpha. The aim of present study was: 1. To assess of serum concentrations of TNF-alpha and TNF soluble receptors sTNFRs in obese women with diabetes type 2 and obese women without additional disease. 2. To assess possible association between of manner treatment of diabetes type 2 and serum concentrations of TNF-alpha and TNF soluble receptors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study group's involved 23 obese women with diabetes type 2 - group A (age 63.6 +/- 8.2 lat; BMI 32.7 +/- 3,9 kg/m2) in this 12 treated of derivatives of sulfonylurea (age 65.1 +/- 6.6 lat; BMI 32.0 +/- 3.4 kg/m2) - subgroup AI and 11 insulin treated (age 62.1 +/- 9.7 lat; BMI 33.4 +/- 4.4 kg/m2) - subgroup AII and 23 obese women without additional disease and without any pharmacological treatment - group B (age 36.6 +/- 10.9 lat; BMI 36.6 +/- 5.6 kg/m2). Body weight and height were measured, body mass index was calculated with formula. Serum concentrations of glucose was measured by enzymatic procedure. Serum concentrations of TNF-alpha and it's soluble receptors sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 was measured by ELISA. and sTNFR2 were significant decreased (respectively p <0,005 i p <0,001) in group A when compared to group B. There are not significant differences serum concentration of TNF-alpha and its soluble receptors between subgroups AI and AII. CONCLUSIONS: 1. In obese women with diabetes type 2 serum concentration of TNF-alpha increased and concentrations of its soluble receptors decreased when compared to obese without additional disease. 2. The treatment meaner of diabetes type 2 not influence of serum concentration of TNF-alpha and sTNFR1 but application of insulin maybe a cause increase activity sTNFR2.     

Croatian experience with sibutramine in the treatment of obesity--multicenter prospective study

Obesity is a chronic disease with a marked impact on health and the prevalence of obesity in Croatia is rapidly rising. Since obesity plays a significant role in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus type 2 and of some cancers, it is an obvious target of public health activities. Weight-reducing drugs, like sibutramine, in combination with diet, exercise and behavioral changes have a role in the management of obesity. Sibutramine acts centrally as a serotonergic and noradrenergic reuptake inhibitor. It reduces body weight by enhancing satiety and stimulating thermogenesis. The aim of this multicenter prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety profile of sibutramine in the treatment of overweight patients in Croatia. Patients received 10 mg of sibutramine daily for 12 weeks. The main outcome measures were changes in body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences, laboratory assessments (serum triglicerida, cholesterol, glucose, HbA1c), blood pressure and heart rate profile. Of 461 patients included (mean BMI = 35.81+/-6.48 kg/m2, mean age = 43.65+/-10.90 years), 392 completed the study. Three months of sibutramine treatment lead to a significant reduction in body weight, BMI, waist and hip circumferences and improvement in metabolic parameters. Loss of over 5% of their initial body weight was found in 359 patients (91.58%), while 179 patients (45.66%) achieved weight loss over 10%. A decrease of both systolic (-3.39%) and diastolic (-3.75%) blood pressure was noted, while the pulse rate rose slightly (+0.13%). Adverse events were reported by 124 (26.90%) patients, but they precipitated only 17 (3.69%) withdrawals. Results of our study confirmed that sibutramine is an effective and safe weight-reducing drug.     

1型糖尿病患者骨密度的变化及相关因素分析(英文)

目的:观察1型糖尿病患者骨密度(bone mineral density,BMD)的变化及其影响因素。方法:采用双能X线骨密度仪测定108例1型糖尿病患者及106例非糖尿病人群腰椎1至4(L1、L2、L3、L4、、L1-4总体)及左侧髋部(股骨颈、大转子、ward's三角、股骨干及左髋总体)骨密度,同时测定受试者年龄、身高、体重、腰围、臀围,1型糖尿病患者病程、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)等指标,利用多元回归分析1型糖尿病患者骨密度的相关因素。结果:L1-4总体BMD和左髋总体BMD与年龄、HbA1c呈负相关,与BMI呈正相关(P0.05);左髋总体BMD与性别有关(P0.05)。结论:1型糖尿病患者BMD低于对照人群,1型糖尿病患者的性别、年龄、BMI、HbA1c水平与BMD关系密切。     

Serum fructosamine concentrations in patients with type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus during changes in management.

The serum fructosamine concentration was examined as a new means to monitor metabolic control in non-insulin-dependent diabetes during changes in management. Weekly fructosamine estimations were compared with glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), 24 hour urinary glucose, and fasting plasma glucose concentrations in a 17 week study entailing withdrawal and reinstitution of oral treatment. The serum fructosamine concentration was more sensitive than the other measurements in detecting a deterioration in diabetic control after stopping oral hypoglycaemic drugs. The response to reinstitution of treatment was not significant in the first three weeks (p = 0.266), despite a highly significant reduction in fasting plasma glucose (p = 0.001) and 24 hour urinary glucose concentrations (p = 0.012). Compared with HbA1c, concentrations of fructosamine appeared more useful in monitoring short term (three to six weeks) changes after alterations in management of diabetes. Additional advantages were lower cost and technical simplicity of measurement.
