Published: May 2020

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common autosomal recessive and multisystemic diseases. CF affects many systems. One of these systems is the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas, causing cystic fibrosis-related diabetes, which is extremely complex and has unique pathogenesis. Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare type of diabetes with autosomal dominant inheritance and is not expected in patients with CF. In this study, we present MODY due to a novel glucokinase gene mutation, which is an unexpected form of diabetes in patients with CF. This is previously unreported in the literature.

Background: A significant overlap in the pathophysiological features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been reported; and insulin resistance is considered a central driver in both. The expression and hepatic clearance of insulin and subsequent glucose homeostasis are mediated by TCF7L2 via Wnt signaling. Studies have persistently associated TCF7L2 genetic variations with T2DM, however, its results on PCOS are sparse and inconsistent.

Cognitive impairment is a significant complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanisms underlying the development of cognitive dysfunction in individuals with T2DM remain elusive. Herein, we discussed the role of Bmal1, a core circadian rhythm-regulating gene, in the process of T2DM-associated cognitive dysfunction.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) remains a pressing public health concern. Despite advancements in antidiabetic medications, suboptimal medication adherence persists among many individuals with T2D, often due to the high cost of medications. To combat this issue, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana (Blue Cross) introduced the $0 Drug Copay (ZDC) program, providing $0 copays for select drugs.

Impact of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Lipoproteins in Type 2 Diabetes.

Curr Diab Rep

January 2025

Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica, Laboratorio de Lípidos y Aterosclerosis, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Instituto de Fisiopatología y Bioquímica Clínica (INFIBIOC-UBA), Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Purpose Of Review: This article explores the cardiovascular effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with a particular focus on their impact on lipid profiles. As evidence grows of the cardiovascular benefits of SGLT2i beyond glucose control, it is essential to better understand their effects on lipoproteins and their impact on cardiovascular disease.

Recent Findings: SGLT2i have shown significant cardiovascular benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, beyond their role in lowering blood glucose.
