With the acceleration of population aging, the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is progressively increasing due to the age-relatedness of these two diseases. The association between T2DM and AD-like dementia is receiving much attention, and T2DM is reported to be a significant risk factor for AD. The aims of this review were to reveal the brain changes caused by T2DM as well as to explore the roles of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in the development of AD.

Minimising harms of tight glycaemic control in older patients with type 2 diabetes.

In older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), tight glycaemic control (HbA1c 7%) can result in more harm than benefit, especially when using insulin or sulfonylureas. Older adults are at higher risk for adverse drug events, especially hypoglycaemia, which may cause falls, confusion and hospitalisations. This Therapeutic Letter evaluates the risks of tight glycaemic control in older adults with T2DM, focusing on deprescribing diabetes medications in those over 65, especially those with multimorbidity and polypharmacy.

Unlabelled: Insulin resistance is major factor in the development of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes (T2D). We extracted 430 genes from literature associated with both insulin resistance and inflammation. The highly significant pathways were Toll-like receptor signaling, PI3K-Akt signaling, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, pathways in cancer, TNF signaling, and NF-kappa B signaling.

Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, School of Public Health, Nantong University, Nantong, China.
Background: Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a credible and simple surrogate indicator for insulin resistance. The primary aim of this study was to novelly examine the associations between dietary patterns reflecting variations in circulating TyG index and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This study included 120,988 participants from the UK Biobank, all of whom completed multiple 24-h dietary assessments.
The relationship between perceived stigma and health-promoting self-care in adult patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: The study was conducted to examine the relationship between perceived self-stigma and health promotion self-care in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: The study was conducted with 206 patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized in the endocrinology clinic of a state hospital between July and September 2023 and met the study inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a patient identification form, the Type 2 Diabetes Stigma Assessment Scale (DSAS-2) and the Diabetes Health Promotion Self-Care Scale (DHPSC).
The PI3K/Akt pathway: a target for curcumin's therapeutic effects.

Purpose: The purpose of this review study is to investigate the effect of curcumin on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in various diseases. Curcumin, the main compound found in turmeric, has attracted a lot of attention for its diverse pharmacological properties. These properties have increased the therapeutic potential of curcumin in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, kidney disease, and neurodegenerative diseases.
