Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with obesity, while interactions between the two diseases remain to be fully elucidated. To this point, we offer this perspective to introduce a set of new insights into the interpretation of T2DM spanning the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment approaches. These include a definition of T2DM as an energy surplus-induced diabetes characterized by the gradual decline of β cell insulin secretion function, which ultimately aims to prevent the onset of severe obesity through mechanisms of weight loss.

Steatotic liver disease is prevalent among people with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The new definition of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) emphasises the metabolic drivers of steatosis and recognises its frequent coexistence with other chronic liver diseases, including HCV. We aimed to evaluate the association of coexisting MASLD and HCV with liver fibrosis.

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has emerged as a validated and cost-effective indicator of insulin resistance (IR). Given the significant association between visceral obesity and IR, this study aimed to investigate the utility of the TyG index in estimating visceral obesity in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
Methods: The visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and VFA-to-SFA ratio (VSR) were determined through the analysis of CT images at the lumbar 3 level.
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome has become a major health risk affecting patients worldwide and has been shown to be a risk factor for postoperative complications following abdominal surgery. This study aims to elucidate the link between metabolic syndrome and postoperative complications and mortality following esophagectomy.
Methods: This is a retrospective study analyzing the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database (2017-2021).

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are emerging as an important class of drugs in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. There are rising concerns of pulmonary aspiration with these medications due to drug-induced gastroparesis. While definitive association is uncertain, it is essential to be prudent and manage these patients as per the current evidence and recommendations.
