Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a novel marker reflecting insulin resistance, and the risk of developing DN in patients with T2DM. We conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to May 12, 2024. Studies assessing the TyG index in relation to DN risk among T2DM patients were included. The pooled relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects model. A total of eight longitudinal follow-up studies encompassing 15 889 patients with T2DM were included. The pooled analysis revealed a significant association between a higher TyG index and an increased risk of DN in patients with T2DM (RR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.37-1.71, p<0.001; I=35%). The results of meta-regression analysis suggested that the cutoff of TyG index was positively associated with the RR for the association between TyG index and DN. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that the association was stronger in studies with cutoff of TyG index ≥9.5 as compared to those with the cutoff <9.5 (RR: 1.73 vs. 1.40, p for subgroup difference <0.05). The association was not significantly affected by study design, mean age of the patients, proportion of men, or follow-up durations. In conclusion, higher TyG index is significantly associated with an increased risk of DN in patients with T2DM.

While recent studies suggested a potential causal link between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) but not type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the involved mechanism remains unclear. Here, using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, we verified the causal relationship between the two types of diabetes mellitus and IPF and investigated the possible role of inflammation in the association between diabetes mellitus and IPF. Based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of T1DM, T2DM, and IPF, the univariable MR, multivariable MR (MVMR), and mediation MR were successively used to analyze the causal relationship.

Background: Digital technologies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) care hold great potential to improve patients' health in the long term. Only a subset of telemedicine offerings are digital interventions that meet the criteria for prescribable digitale Gesundheitsanwendung (digital health apps; DiGAs) in Germany. Digital treatments further provide vast amounts of patient data that are important to generate evidence.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a significant health burden, exacerbated by the global increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This condition contributes substantially to the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes, primarily through myocardial dysfunction independent of coronary artery disease. Current treatment strategies focus on managing symptoms rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, highlighting a critical need for specific therapeutic interventions.

Background: There is a high rate of depressive symptoms such as irritability, anhedonia, fatigue, and hypersomnia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the causes and underlying mechanisms of the comorbidity of depression and diabetes remain unknown.
Methods: For the first time, we identified Decidual protein induced by progesterone 1 (Depp1), also known as DEPP autophagy regulator 1, as a hub gene in both depression and T2DM models.
