AI Article Synopsis

  • Metabolic syndrome (MS) is increasingly recognized in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, which may raise the risk for diabetes-related complications, prompting this study to assess its prevalence over time in individuals with T1DM.* -
  • Conducted in North India, the study involved 161 T1DM patients and found that 19.2% had MS at baseline; those with MS showed a higher likelihood of developing microvascular complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy.* -
  • After 5 years of follow-up, the prevalence of MS decreased to 13%, highlighting the need for early detection and targeted interventions to mitigate associated health risks for patients with T1DM.*

Article Abstract

Background And Aims: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is prevalent in the Indian population and has been traditionally linked to Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Its presence is now being increasingly recognized in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Presence of MS may increase the risk of diabetes related complications. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of MS in a cohort of patients with T1DM at baseline and at 5 years of follow up.

Methods: Longitudinal cohort study in a tertiary care center in North India. Patients with T1DM attending the Diabetes of the Young (DOY) Clinic from January 2015 to March 2016 included. Microvascular and macrovascular complications assessed. The cohort was followed after a period of 5 years.

Results: We included 161 patients (males, 49.4%) with a median (IQR) age of 23 (18-34) years and median (IQR) diabetes duration of 12 (7, 17) years. At baseline, 31 (19.2%) patients had MS. Patients with MS were more likely to have microvascular complications: retinopathy (p = 0.003), neuropathy (p = 0.02) and nephropathy (p = 0.04). Independent predictors of MS: insulin sensitivity (IS) (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.02 [95% CI, 0.003-0.118]), body weight (aOR 1.05 [95% CI, 1.007-1.108]), diastolic blood pressure (aOR 1.08 [95% CI, 1.01-1.15]) and duration of diabetes (aOR 1.09 [95% CI, 1.02-1.16]). On follow-up (n = 100), 13 (13%) had MS.

Conclusions: One in 5 patients with T1DM suffers from MS, and is therefore predisposed to its attendant risks, calling for early identification and targeted interventions.

Metabolic syndrome-related diseases frequently involve disturbances in skeletal muscle lipid metabolism. The accumulation of lipid metabolites, lipid-induced mitochondrial stress in skeletal muscle cells, as well as the inflammation of adjacent adipose tissue, are associated with the development of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Consequently, when antidiabetic medications are used to treat various chronic conditions related to hyperglycaemia, the impact on skeletal muscle lipid metabolism should not be overlooked.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the typical complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D), with approximately 10 % of DKD patients experiencing a Rapid decline (RD) in kidney function. RD leads to an increased risk of poor outcomes such as the need for dialysis. Albuminuria is a known kidney damage biomarker for DKD, yet RD cases do not always show changes in albuminuria, and the exact mechanism of RD remains unclear.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic condition characterized by hepatic steatosis in the absence of significant alcohol consumption and is increasingly recognized as the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome (MetS). This review aims to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between NAFLD, insulin resistance (IR), and MetS, with a focus on identifying therapeutic targets. A comprehensive review of existing literature on NAFLD, IR, and MetS was conducted.
