In oral sulfonylurea treated diabetics, decreased plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and increased activity of bone isoenzyme of serum alkaline phosphatase and urinary hydroxyproline excretion was found when compared with control subjects. In stepwise regression analysis significant relationships were found between bone isoenzyme, urinary hydroxyproline excretion, serum calcium levels and blood glucose levels. The partial correlation and multivariate regression analysis showed that in oral sulfonylurea treated patients, but not in insulin treated patients, the activity of bone isoenzyme of serum alkaline phosphatase was significantly inverse dependent on the 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels in plasma. Oral sulfonylurea agents which are known to induce the hepatic microsomal system seem to be an additional factor to poor control of diabetes, leading to osteopathy.

Background: As a novel oral anti-hyperglycemic agent, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) have been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanism responsible for the beneficial effects remains unclear. Recently, extensive studies have demonstrated a close relationship between elevated fasting triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of AMI.

Introduction: Several cardiovascular outcome trials have been conducted to assess the cardiovascular safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, the strict requirements of randomised controlled trials to avoid most confounding factors are at the expense of external validity. Using national real-world data, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of GLP-1RAs in association with metformin especially on cardiovascular events, hospitalisation for heart failure and all-cause death in comparison with other diabetes treatment schemes using dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, sulfonylureas/glinides or insulin also associated with metformin.

Aims: To assess outcomes of oral anti-hyperglycaemic therapies in people with diabetes secondary to a pancreatic condition (type 3c), where specific treatment guidance is limited.

Materials And Methods: Using hospital-linked UK primary care records (Clinical Practice Research Datalink; 2004-2020), we identified 7084 people with a pancreatic condition (acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and haemochromatosis) preceding diabetes diagnosis (type 3c cohort), initiating oral glucose-lowering therapy (metformin, sulphonylureas, SGLT2-inhibitors, DPP4-inhibitors or thiazolidinediones), and without concurrent insulin treatment. We stratified by pancreatic exocrine insufficiency [PEI] (n = 5917 without PEI, 1167 with PEI) and matched to 97 227 type 2 diabetes (T2D) controls.

Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare disorder with prevalence of one in 400,000 live births that's defined by persistent hyperglycaemia within the first six months of life. Neonatal diabetes is heterogeneous and can be transient or permanent. Developmental delay, Epilepsy and Neonatal Diabetes (DEND) syndrome is characterised by developmental delay, epilepsy, and neonatal diabetes.

The maintenance of cognitive function is essential for quality of life and health outcomes in later years. Cognitive impairment, however, remains an undervalued long-term complication of type 2 diabetes by patients and providers alike. The burden of sustained hyperglycemia includes not only cognitive deficits but also the onset and progression of dementia-related conditions, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).
