Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a worldwide epidemic, making it a major non-communicable disease of public health concern. DM is a chronic disease affecting various organs of the body, leading to increased morbidity and frequently causing patients to seek medical care. Patients with DM often suffer from gastrointestinal disturbances, indicating the involvement of the gastrointestinal system (GIS). Common effects on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) include esophageal dysmotility, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), glycogenic hepatopathy, gastroparesis, and enteropathy. Despite the high rates of GIT complications associated with diabetes, they are often under-recognized by physicians, leading to suboptimal treatment and a poor quality of life for patients. This article reviews the GIT manifestations of DM from the esophagus to the anal canal, including their pathophysiology and current management strategies.

The influence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on the development of long-term postpartum type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japanese general population remains unclear. To investigate the influence of HDP on long-term postpartum development of metabolic disorders and T2D, we conducted a population-based cross-sectional study using the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75g-OGTT) in 978 parous Japanese women (median age: 66 years). We further evaluated the combined effect of HDP and T2D susceptibility genes on developing T2D.

We examined whether the glucose levels and awareness of individuals without diabetes changed after using a sensor-based intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system in their daily lives. Japanese individuals without a diabetes diagnosis wore the isCGM system while maintaining a normal lifestyle during the baseline period. A certified diabetes educator coached them on how to improve their lifestyle based on information from sensor data, food journals, and body composition.

Background: Monitoring LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and prescribing appropriate treatment is crucial for secondary prevention in primary care.
Aim: We studied LDL-C levels and treatments for ischemic heart disease patients according to target recommendations and assessed factors influencing prescribed drug intensity.
Design & Setting: We examined electronic health records of patients with ischemic heart disease from three primary care centers.
Targeting insulin stacking to address overnight hypoglycaemia in hospitalised patients with diabetes.

Inpatient hypoglycaemia is a significant concern in patients with diabetes due to its association with increased mortality. At the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System, we developed a project to reduce overnight hypoglycaemia in hospitalised patients with diabetes by addressing insulin stacking, defined as insulin dosed within 4 hours of each other. By delaying the timing of bedtime correctional insulin administration in the electronic health record, we achieved a 28% reduction in the proportion of patients experiencing insulin stacking after one year.
