AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of anemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and pre-diabetes (pre-DM) who have normal kidney function, finding that 19% of DM patients and 11% of pre-DM patients had anemia.
- Anemia was linked to worse clinical outcomes, including increased mortality and development of microvascular complications, but not macrovascular complications.
- The findings highlight the importance of addressing anemia in these patients through lifestyle and medical interventions to improve health outcomes.
Article Abstract
Objective: Anemia is a known complication of diabetes mellitus (DM); however, its prevalence and prognostic relevance in patients with DM and pre-DM with normal kidney function have not been well defined. This study assessed the prevalence of anemia in patients with DM and pre-DM and evaluated its association with clinical outcomes during a 4-year follow-up period.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included patients with DM and pre-DM referred to the Meir Medical Center Endocrine Institute in 2015. Patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of <60 mL/min or any other recognized cause of anemia were excluded. The risk of developing microvascular or macrovascular complications or of death during the 4-year follow-up period was determined.
Results: A total of 622 patients (408 with DM and 214 with pre-DM) were included. The mean age of the patients was 64 ± 10.6 years, and 70% were women. The baseline hemoglobin A1C level was 7.1% ± 1.7% (54 mmol/mol), and the eGFR was 86.1 ± 15.3 mL/min. At the time of inclusion, 77 patients (19%) with DM and 23 (11%) with pre-DM had anemia (hemoglobin level 11.9 ± 0.8 and 11.8 ± 0.8 g/dL, respectively), compared with normal hemoglobin levels of 13.8 ± 0.9 and 13.7± 0.9 g/dL, respectively, in the others. A multivariable analysis demonstrated an inverse correlation between baseline hemoglobin (as a continuous variable) and mortality (P = .035), microvascular complications (P = .003), and eGFR decline (P < .001) but not between baseline hemoglobin and macrovascular complications (P = .567).
Conclusion: This study found a significant prevalence of anemia unrelated to renal failure, both in patients with DM and pre-DM. Anemia in these patients is associated with the development of microvascular complications, eGFR decline, and mortality. These results underscore the need for intensive lifestyle and pharmacologic interventions in these patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed triglyceride and cholesterol levels among Chinese adults (ages 45+) with different blood glucose statuses (diabetes, prediabetes, and normal) over a period from 2011 to 2015.
- Results showed that those with diabetes and prediabetes had decreases in total and LDL cholesterol but increases in HDL cholesterol, while individuals with normal glucose had higher triglycerides and lower total and LDL cholesterol over time.
- Dyslipidemia prevalence was notably higher in individuals with diabetes (36.56% in 2015), indicating significant differences in lipid profiles based on blood glucose levels throughout the study.

Article Synopsis
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely tied to type 2 diabetes, making it important to identify lipid factors that predict abnormal glucose levels in these patients.
- A study of 1,066 NAFLD patients found that elevated triglycerides (TG) and specific nontraditional lipid measures like the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and residual cholesterol (RC) are strongly linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
- The findings suggest that incorporating these nontraditional lipid parameters into clinical practice could improve early detection and prevention strategies for diabetes in patients with NAFLD, especially among younger, non-obese, and female individuals.
