Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by abnormally elevated blood glucose levels. Type II diabetes accounts for approximately 90% of all cases. Several drugs are available for hyperglycemia treatment. However, the current therapies for managing high blood glucose do not prevent or reverse the disease progression, which may result in complications and adverse effects, including diabetic neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy. Hence, developing safer and more effective methods for lowering blood glucose levels is imperative. Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) is a significant member of the transient receptor potential family. It is present in numerous body tissues and organs and performs vital physiological functions.
Purpose: This review aimed to develop new targeted TRPV1 hypoglycemic drugs by systematically summarizing the mechanism of action of the TRPV1-based signaling pathway in preventing and treating diabetes and its complications.
Methods: Literature searches were performed in the PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Medline, and Scopus databases for 10 years from 2013 to 2023. The search terms included "diabetes," "TRPV1," "diabetic complications," and "capsaicin."
Results: TRPV1 is an essential potential target for treating diabetes mellitus and its complications. It reduces hepatic glucose production and food intake and promotes thermogenesis, metabolism, and insulin secretion. Activation of TRPV1 ameliorates diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, myocardial infarction, vascular endothelial dysfunction, gastroparesis, and bladder dysfunction. Suppression of TRPV1 improves diabetes-related osteoporosis. However, the therapeutic effects of activating or suppressing TRPV1 may vary when treating diabetic neuropathy and periodontitis.
Conclusion: This review demonstrates that TRPV1 is a potential therapeutic target for diabetes and its complications. Additionally, it provides a theoretical basis for developing new hypoglycemic drugs that target TRPV1.

Obesity is a rapidly growing health problem worldwide, affecting both adults and children and increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, obesity is closely linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) by either exacerbating diabetic complications or directly causing kidney damage. Obesity-related CKD is characterized by proteinuria, lipid accumulation, fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis, which can gradually impair kidney function.

Objective: To explore the effect of seeds powder { 500 mg} capsule in diabetes Type-2 (T2DM) patients in Karachi.
Methods: A randomized selection of 40 T2DM patients from Sindh Government Hospital New Karachi with their consents was done for a non-blinded controlled trial from October to December 2019 and divided into P (Positive Control, metformin 500 mg) & T (Test, + was also included, using the same dosage of CapCASP on twenty healthy volunteers. The data were analyzed using an online graph pad student's t-test and a one-way ANOVA (SPSS version 24) metformin 500mg each).
Backgrounds And Aims: Type 2 diabetes and its complications are assumed to be major public health problems globally. Zinc is one of the elements that play a part in insulin secretion and signaling. Therefore, this study seeks the answer to the following question: "What are the effects of 220 mg zinc sulfate supplementation on the weight, blood pressure, and glycemic control of patients with Type 2 diabetes?".

Diabetic cognitive dysfunction is one of the important comorbidities and complications of diabetes, which is mainly manifested by loss of learning ability and memory, behavioural disorders, and may even develop into dementia. While traditional anti-diabetic medications are effective in improving cognition and memory, long-term use of these medications can be accompanied by undesirable side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find safe and effective alternative therapies.
