Background: Early detection of high-risk people for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using a simple, non-invasive and cost-effective assessment tool helps to identify and prevent members of the community from developing this disease. Therefore, this study aims to translate the American Diabetes Association (ADA) diabetes risk test for Malaysians and then evaluate its validity.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2019 and April 2019. The instrument underwent forward and backward translation according to Behling and Law's technique. Content validity was performed by two experts and face validity was conducted among 35 convenience samples from Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Both were analysed using content validity index and face validity index, respectively.
Results: All respondents were Malay, and had attained tertiary education with a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 20.63 (2.80) years old and BMI of 30.45 (5.99). Among the respondents, 57.1%, 94.3% and 80% were female, single and having a household income below RM1,500, respectively. The Malay translated instrument achieved high I-content validity index (CVI) [0.5-1.0] and S-CVI/Ave [0.93] as well as high I-face validity index (FVI) [0.86-0.97] and S-FVI/Ave [0.91] for understandability, and high I-FVI [0.77-0.91] and S-FVI/Ave [0.85] for clarity.
Conclusion: The Malay version of the ADA diabetes risk test was found to be a valid survey instrument to be used for the Malaysian adult population.

The rise in antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to global health, particularly among diabetic patients who are prone to urinary tract infections (UTIs). Pathogens that cause UTI among diabetic patients exhibit significant multidrug resistance (MDR) patterns, necessitating more precise empirical treatment strategies..

Objective: We investigated associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and changes in diabetes indicators from pregnancy to 12 years after delivery among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Research Design And Methods: Eighty Hispanic women with GDM history were followed from the third trimester of pregnancy to 12 years after delivery. Oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests were conducted during follow-up.

Increasing evidence suggests that individuals infected with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to those who are not infected. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to systematically evaluate the mediating roles of 3,283 plasma proteins in the link between COVID-19 susceptibility and T2D by conducting proteome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.

Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Although the increased glucose levels typically return to normal range after delivery for most GDM women, a significant proportion of GDM women develop impaired glucose tolerance or overt diabetes after delivery. Several factors associated with postpartum glucose abnormalities have been identified, yet the link between fasting glucose levels at diagnosis of GDM and postpartum glucose abnormalities remains unclear.
