Published: September 2021

The gut microbiota (GM) plays a role in the development and progression of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. Gut dysbiosis contributes to the pathogenesis of DM. The GM has been shown to influence the efficacy of different antidiabetic medications. Intake of gut biotics, like prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics, can improve the glucose control as well as the metabolic profile associated with DM. There is some preliminary evidence that it might even help with the cardiovascular, ophthalmic, nervous, and renal complications of DM and even contribute to the prevention of DM. More large-scale research studies are needed before wide spread use of gut biotics in clinical practice as an adjuvant therapy to the current management of DM.

Background: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly report a higher fatigue intensity than the general population. However, effective fatigue management is lacking because little is known about other fatigue characteristics, including timing, distress, and quality, as well as the potential fatigue subtypes experienced in people with T2DM.

Objective: To describe fatigue intensity, timing, distress, and quality, and identify fatigue subtypes in people with T2DM.

Purpose: Women with gestational diabetes (GDM) have increased risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP). However, knowledge remains limited for women with high-risk metabolic profiles, regardless of GDM diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of HDP among women at high risk for GDM, while simultaneously identifying potential predictive clinical risk factors of HDP.

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.
