In view of increasing number of elderly diabetic patients and their westernized lifestyle, diabetic foot and fractures due to fall attributable to diabetic neuropathy may be common diseases which disturb patients' QOL. Since any therapeutic drugs for patients with diabetic neuropathy have not been fully accepted, much attention should be paid to intensification of self-care for foot lesion and exercise and balance training through education. Some of them may show orthostatic hypotension, gastroparesis, etc. Others may complain of pain in limbs. Taken together, management for elderly diabetic patients may well be achieved through education and with symptomatic therapy.

Naringenin has the potential to regulate ferroptosis and mitigate renal damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, it remains unclear whether the naringenin's effects in DN are linked to its ability to regulate ferroptosis. This study investigated the potential anti-ferroptosis properties of naringenin in high glucose (HG)-induced renal tubular epithelial cell models.

Purpose: Heart failure (HF) is a disease that leads to approximately 300,000 fatalities annually in Europe and 250,000 deaths each year in the United States. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a significant risk factor for HF, and testing for N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone BNP (NT-proBNP) can aid in early detection of HF in T2DM patients. We therefore developed and validated the HFriskT2DM-HScore, an algorithm to predict the risk of HF in T2DM patients, so guiding NT-proBNP investigation in a primary care setting.
