To assess the prevalence of balance symptoms in type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), at the first level of health care. Compared to 101 controls, 101 patients showed a higher frequency of all the symptoms investigated through a standardized questionnaire (p<0.01). In DM2 patients, balance symptoms should be intentionally investigated.

The study by Cao aimed to identify early second-trimester biomarkers that could predict gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) development using advanced proteomic techniques, such as Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Their analysis revealed 47 differentially expressed proteins in the GDM group, with retinol-binding protein 4 and angiopoietin-like 8 showing significantly elevated serum levels compared to controls. Although these findings are promising, the study is limited by its small sample size ( = 4 per group) and lacks essential details on the reproducibility and reliability of the protein quantification methods used.
