Article Synopsis
- - This study aims to compare the long-term risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) among women who had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) versus those with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
- - Analyzing data over 25 years, researchers found that women with GDM, especially older Māori women or those with socioeconomic challenges, had a higher risk of developing T2D compared to those with IGT, with the first five years after childbirth being crucial for prevention.
- - The research emphasizes the need for early and tailored interventions for women post-GDM, taking into account factors like age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status to effectively reduce the risk of T2D.
Background: The extent to which type 2 diabetes (T2D) reduces life expectancy depends on the risk of complications. We aimed to characterise the relationship between risk factors for diabetes complications and life expectancy, in individuals with T2D, free from major chronic disease, in a regional database linked with national New Zealand health databases.
Methods: A prospective cohort study design was employed, analysing data from individuals with T2D drawn from the comprehensive Diabetes Care Support Service database (1994-2018).
Background: In people with prediabetes, the link between developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer risk among those with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) remains uncertain. We examined this association in IGT individuals from primary care in South and West Auckland, New Zealand, spanning 1994-2019, assessing 5- and 10-year cancer risks.
Methods: Study cohorts were extracted from the Diabetes Care Support Service in Auckland, New Zealand, linking it with national registries for death, cancer, hospital admissions, pharmaceutical claims, and socioeconomic status.
Introduction: We aimed to investigate the association between the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and dementia incidence rates (IR) in the population with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) identified in primary care in New Zealand (NZ) over 25 years.
Methods: Tapered matching and landmark analysis (accounting for immortal bias) were used to control for potential effects of known confounders. The association between T2D onset and 5- and 10-year IR of dementia was estimated by weighted Cox models.
Aim: Bariatric surgery is an effective tool for weight loss and for improving weight related co-morbidities. Changes in medication usage after a silastic ring laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (SR-LRYGB) compared with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are unknown.
Methods: This was a single-centre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial.
