Purpose: The purpose of our study was to analyze the characteristics of OGTT and the correlation between the insulin to C-peptide molar ratio (ICPR), HOMA-IR and insulin antibodies (IAs) in T2DM patients.
Patients And Methods: A total of 77 T2DM patients were included and divided into the IA+ group (25 patients) and IA- group (52 patients). The values of serum glucose, insulin, and C-peptide testing during 2-h OGTT were summarized comparatively, and ROC was made to analyze the predictive value of ICPR for IAs.
Results: At each time point of OGTT, there was no significant difference in serum glucose and C-peptide changes (p>0.05). Serum insulin levels in positive patients were elevated or not at different time points of the OGTT but ICPR was significantly different (P<0.05) in the two groups. Spearman correlation coefficient analysis showed that the presence of insulin antibodies was correlated with ICPR, but not with HOMA-IR, and ICPR-2h had a better prediction capacity (AUC=0.735, the optimal cutoff-point=0.11, Se=0.760, Sp=0.635).
Conclusion: T2DM patients with IAs showed no difference in serum glucose and serum C-peptide changes, but elevated or not insulin levels on the OGTTs, compared with negative patients. ICPR-2h can be a preliminary diagnostic index to timely predict IAs in T2DM patients.

Background: At present, the existing internal medicine drug treatment can alleviate the high glucose toxicity of patients to a certain extent, to explore the efficacy of laparoscopic jejunoileal side to side anastomosis in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the report is as follows.
Aim: To investigate the effect of jejunoileal side-to-side anastomosis on metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 78 patients with T2DM who were treated jejunoileal lateral anastomosis.

Use of immunomodulating agents to prevent the progression of autoimmune β-cell damage leading to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an interesting area for research. These include non-specific anti-inflammatory agents, immunologic vaccination and anti-inflammatory agents targeting specific immune cells or cytokines. Teplizumab is an anti-CD3-molecule that binds to and leads to the disappearance of the CD3/TCR complex and rendering the T cell anergic to its target antigen.

The coexistence of depression and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can significantly worsen disease prognosis and lower quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency contributes to the progression of T2DM and is closely associated with the development of depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cholecalciferol on depression in patients with T2DM, exploring its mechanisms by analyzing its impact on C-peptide, serotonin, and neurotrophin-3 levels.

Background: Higher concentration of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) increases postmenopausal breast cancer risk, but evidence for insulin and c-peptide is limited. Further, not all studies have accounted for potential confounding by biomarkers from other biological pathways, and not all were restricted to estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer.
Methods: This was a case-cohort study of 1,223 postmenopausal women (347 with ER-positive breast cancer) from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study.

Purpose: Imeglimin is a novel oral antidiabetic agent that improves glucose tolerance. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of combining imeglimin with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), the most frequently prescribed first-line treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japan, to improve glycemic control.
Patients And Methods: Eleven patients with T2D treated with DPP-4i alone (6.
