AI Article Synopsis
- Continued increases in type 2 diabetes prevalence and related healthcare costs highlight the need for improved prevention and treatment policies.
- Four key policy shifts are proposed: integrating prevention strategies along a clinical continuum, emphasizing early detection of prediabetes and undiagnosed diabetes for cost-effective solutions, combining community and clinical resources for organized care, and promoting evidence-based policies globally.
- A focus on these shifts aims to better address type 2 diabetes and its implications for healthcare systems.
Article Abstract
Continued increases in the prevalence of and disproportionate health spending associated with type 2 diabetes argue for policies focused on preventing that condition and treating it appropriately, even as we strive to improve coordination of care for coexisting chronic diseases. This article argues that four policy paradigm shifts will be necessary to achieve that specific emphasis on type 2 diabetes: conceptually integrating primary and secondary prevention along a clinical continuum; recognizing the central importance of early detection of prediabetes and undiagnosed diabetes in implementing cost-effective prevention and control; integrating community and clinical expertise, and resources, within organized and affordable service delivery systems; and sharing and adopting evidence-based policies at the global level.

Department of Research and Evaluation, Kaiser Permanente Southern California, Pasadena, California (A.B., K.J.C., A.A.K.).
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) differ in their effects on body weight and risk for reoperation. However, it is unclear whether long-term health expenditures differ by procedure type in patients with diabetes.
Objective: To compare health expenditures 3 years before and 5.
Association of P2X7 polymorphisms on Type 2 diabetes mellitus susceptibility and diabetic complications.

Department of Laboratory Medicine, People's Hospital of Shenzhen Baoan District, Shenzhen, P. R. China.
Objectives: This case-control study aims to clarify the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the P2X7 gene on susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to evaluate their association with diabetic complications.
Methods: This study is comprised with 200 T2DM cases and 200 healthy controls. Seven candidate SNP loci were screened, and TaqMan-MGB real-time PCR technology was used to determine the polymorphic variants of P2X7.
A safe-enhanced fully closed-loop artificial pancreas controller based on deep reinforcement learning.

Patients with type 1 diabetes and their physicians have long desired a fully closed-loop artificial pancreas (AP) system that can alleviate the burden of blood glucose regulation. Although deep reinforcement learning (DRL) methods theoretically enable adaptive insulin dosing control, they face numerous challenges, including safety and training efficiency, which have hindered their clinical application. This paper proposes a safe and efficient adaptive insulin delivery controller based on DRL.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder in which pancreatic β-cells are destroyed by CD8 T cells. Anti-CD3 antibody effectively treats early-stage T1D when β-cell autoantibodies are detected but before symptoms appear. However, it impairs the immune system temporarily, exposing individuals to infection.

T cells play a pivotal role in the development of autoimmune diseases. To mitigate autoimmune inflammation without inducing global immunosuppression, it is crucial to selectively eliminate autoreactive T cell clones while preserving the normal T cell repertoire. In this study, we applied cellular proximity chemistry to develop a T-cell depletion method with clonal precision.
