Eight type II (non-insulin-dependent) normolipidemic diabetic patients (aged 45 +/- 15 yr, body mass index 22 +/- 2 kg/m2, means +/- SD) treated with diet alone or diet plus oral hypoglycemic agents were given, in random order for periods of 15 days, two diets with different carbohydrate (CHO) (40 vs. 60% of total calories) and fat (20 vs. 40%) levels. Simple CHO, fiber, saturated fat, cholesterol, and polyunsaturated-saturated fat ratio were similar in the two diets. Total plasma cholesterol was not significantly affected by dietary changes; conversely, plasma triglyceride (1.38 +/- 0.59 vs. 1.11 +/- 0.39 mM, P less than 0.05) and apolipoprotein CII (3.8 +/- 1.4 vs. 3.3 +/- 0.8 mg/dl) increased significantly after the high-CHO low-fat diet. Among the various lipoproteins, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) was the most affected by diet: VLDL cholesterol concentrations increased from 0.30 +/- 0.19 to 0.43 +/- 0.28 mM (P less than 0.05), and triglyceride concentrations increased from 0.62 +/- 0.33 to 0.88 +/- 0.53 mM (P less than 0.05). In conclusion, increasing the amount of complex CHO in the diet induces an elevation of VLDL in normolipidemic, nonobese, mildly type II diabetic patients.

Purpose: Several studies suggest a linkage between PCOS and autoimmunity with a high frequency of chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) reported in PCOS patients, however, this subject remains controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of AIT in PCOS women and identify parameters that would serve as independent predictors of AIT.
Methods: Two hundred fifty seven (257) PCOS patients according to the NIH criteria and one hundred forty three (143) controls, women with normal menstrual cycles and without clinical or biochemical hyperandrogenism, were recruited for the study.

Introduction: Scientific publications have shown sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors to have several beneficial effects in patients with complex type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, sodium-glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1) inhibitor is still under investigation in clinical trials. Recently, a dual inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT1/2), sotagliflozin, has been approved for use in patients with T2DM.

Purpose: To compare the amplitudes and implicit times of the oscillatory (OPs) of the full-field electroretinograms (ERGs) to those of the 30 Hz flicker ERGs in differentiating eyes with diabetic retinopathy (DR) from normal eyes.
Study Design: Single-center observational study.
Methods: Full-field ERGs were recorded in 55 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and 20 normal control subjects.

To evaluate the management and costs of severe hypoglycemia (SH) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in our Belgian tertiary pediatric care center. In the EPI-GLUREDIA study, clinical parameters from children and adolescents with T1D were retrospectively analyzed from July 2017 to June 2024. The characteristics of SH and its treatment were collected during the medical consultation following the SH episode.

In recent years a number of adverse effects have been observed to be associated with this therapy, the most notable of which is hyperglycemia. A literature search was conducted to include case studies, case series, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses within the last 10 years that evaluated patients with mutated hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative metastatic breast cancer.
