Aims: To examine whether type 1 diabetes age onset correlates with epilepsy incidence.
Methods: We used type 1 diabetes longitudinal data with onset age ≤ 40 years enrolled in Taiwan National Health Insurance program to examine type 1 diabetes onset age effect on epilepsy occurrence.
Results: In 6,165 type 1 diabetes patients, onset age groups included 3,571 patients (58%) ≤ 18 years (childhood-onset) and 2,594 patients (42%) > 18 years (adulthood-onset). After 8.6 years median follow-up following type 1 diabetes onset, epilepsy incidence rate in adulthood-onset group was 2.26-fold higher than that in childhood-onset group. Epilepsy incidence rate ratio was lowest in those with onset age 6-12 years in comparison to that in patients with onset age ≤ 6 years, but was highest in onset age of 30-40 years. Longer follow-up duration correlates with higher epilepsy risk in adulthood-onset group. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that onset age 30-40 years, male, more than one diabetic ketoacidosis episode, and unprovoked seizure events were independent risk factors for epilepsy following type 1 diabetes onset.
Conclusions: There is age-related vulnerability to epilepsy following type 1 diabetes onset. Adulthood-onset type 1 diabetes is an independent risk factor for epilepsy susceptibility after type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes is a growing global health crisis that requires effective therapeutic strategies to optimize treatment outcomes. This study aims to address this challenge by developing and characterizing extended-release polymeric matrix tablets containing metformin hydrochloride (M-HCl), a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes, and honokiol (HNK), a bioactive compound with potential therapeutic benefits. The objective is to enhance glycemic control and overall therapeutic outcomes through an innovative dual-drug delivery system.

Gabapentin has variable pharmacokinetics (PK), which contributes to difficulty in dosing and increased risk of adverse events. The objective of this study was to leverage gabapentin concentrations from therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to develop a population PK (popPK) model and characterize significant covariates that impact gabapentin PK. Data were retrospectively collected from 82 hospitalized adult patients with TDM gabapentin concentrations.

Background: Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are a type of widespread pollutant that can be transmitted through particulate matter, such as dust in the air, and have been associated with various adverse health effects, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. However, there is limited research on the link between exposure to mixtures of BFRs and depression in the general population.
Methods: To analyze the association between exposure to BFRs and depression in the population, nationally representative data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2005-2016) were used.

Arsenic exposure can induce liver insulin resistance (IR) and diabetes (DM), but the underlying mechanisms are not yet clear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are involved in the regulation of the onset of diabetes, especially in the progression of IR. This study aimed to investigate the role of circRNAs in arsenic-induced hepatic IR and its underlying mechanism.

: We aimed to review the effect of lifestyle interventions in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on the participants and intervention characteristics. : We systematically searched seven databases for RCTs of lifestyle interventions published up to 24 July 2024. We included 30 studies that reported the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or body weight.
