Introduction: Higher concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and lower concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are associated with lower insulin resistance and incident diabetes in non-Hispanic White and Hispanic Americans. Results are mixed in other populations, with no observational studies in a large multiethnic cohort. The association of serum 25(OH)D with diabetes may vary by adiposity level.
Research Design And Methods: Among 5611 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis without diabetes at baseline, cross-sectional associations of serum 25(OH)D with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and HOMA-β were examined using linear regressions. The association of 25(OH)D with incident diabetes over 9 years was examined using Cox proportional hazard regression.
Results: Black Americans had the highest proportion of individuals with 25(OH)D<20 ng/mL (61%) and White Americans had the least (17%). Serum 25(OH)D was inversely associated with HOMA-IR in fully adjusted models (-0.34% difference in HOMA-IR per ng/mL higher 25(OH)D, p<0.0001). Longitudinally, a 1 ng/mL higher serum 25(OH)D was associated with 2% lower risk of incident diabetes (HR 0.982, CI 0.974 to 0.991), and a 1 pg/mL higher serum PTH was associated with 1% higher risk of incident diabetes (HR 1.007, CI 1.004 to 1.010), both prior to adjustment for waist circumference. After adjusting for waist circumference, a 1 ng/mL higher 25(OH)D was associated with 1% lower risk of incident diabetes (HR 0.991, CI 0.983 to 1.000). The magnitude of association of serum 25(OH)D with incident diabetes was largest at lower waist circumference (p for interaction=0.025). There was no heterogeneity by race/ethnicity (p=0.317).
Conclusions: Serum 25(OH)D is inversely associated with insulin resistance and incident diabetes in a diverse cohort, including non-Hispanic White, Black, Hispanic and Chinese Americans. Future research should explore mechanisms for the interaction between serum 25(OH)D and adiposity in this relationship.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication during pregnancy. This retrospective study investigates the correlation between umbilical blood flow index and maternal-fetal outcomes in pregnant women with GDM, aiming to contribute to evidence-based risk assessment and management strategy in this high-risk obstetric population. This retrospective study recruited 119 pregnant women with GDM who were admitted to the Yichang Central People's Hospital, between January 2022 and January 2024.

Purpose: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition that affects approximately 5% of the pediatric population, with increased prevalence among those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Reports suggest that unrecognized and untreated ADHD impairs T1D control and that ADHD may be underdiagnosed in the Polish population. The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes recommends neurodevelopmental assessments in children with T1D, but specific guidelines on procedures and implementation are lacking.

Background/objectives: The visual acuity (VA) outcomes after the first and second years of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DMO) were evaluated, and the factors associated with treatment success were investigated.
Methods: Using Medisoft electronic medical records (UK), this retrospective cohort study analysed VA outcomes, changes, and determinants in DMO patients at year 1 and year 2 after initial anti-VEGF injection. Descriptive analysis examined baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, while regression models were used to assess associations between these factors and changes in VA.

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors, including abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia (intended as an increase in triglyceride levels and a reduction in HDL cholesterol levels), and elevated fasting glucose, that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. With the rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome, effective dietary interventions are essential in reducing these health risks. The Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and olive oil and moderate in fish and poultry, has shown promise in addressing metabolic syndrome and its associated components.

Background: The optimal application of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in treating gestational diabetes remains uncertain. MNT involves individualised nutrition assessment and counselling, which is labour-intensive and is not the sole type of intervention offered by clinical dietitians.
Objective: To determine whether pregnancy outcomes differed for individuals with gestational diabetes who were offered MNT on a risk-prioritised (RP) versus universal basis.
