Summary: Diabetes is a highly heterogeneous metabolic disease with different types and clinical manifestations. Distinguishing between types and defining subtypes is a major challenge in precise treatment. T2D is the main type of diabetes, and certain gene variants have been shown to increase the risk of T2D. HNF1 alpha gene mutations can cause different types of diabetes and exhibit high polymorphism.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease is a major concern for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and aggressive risk factor management is crucial for these high-risk patients. Recommendations and guidelines from professional societies in cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, and general medicine in the United States and Europe provide guidance on cardiovascular risk reduction for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. While there are some differences in risk stratification, treatment targets for low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as the use of specific medications, overall there is significant alignment across recommendations from different professional societies.

Summary: Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and dysglycaemia 4-6 years after delivery. Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity, as well as substantial post-delivery weight retention, exacerbate the risk of post-delivery dysglycaemia, while gestational weight gain does not consistently predict later dysglycaemia risk. Weight management before and after delivery may be crucial for long-term health, especially in women with GDM.

Summary: Diabetes is a major healthcare problem, especially for pregnant women, and requires an appropriate approach. Gestational diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus share many similarities and induce oxidative stress and cellular stress signaling. The risk of diabetes during pregnancy can lead to complications for both the mother and fetus. Physical activity is not only important for treating the negative effects of diabetes, but also for preventing its progression and reversing changes. Regular training sessions have a positive effect on the immune status of diabetic patients, mothers, and fetuses, causing changes in immune cell levels, cytokine activation, production and secretion, as well as microRNA, which improve overall well-being.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the glucose tolerance status after 15 years of pregnancy in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to assess the long-term effect of GDM on circulating miRNA profile. The study included 30 randomly selected women diagnosed with GDM during 2005-2006, and glucose tolerance was measured using the National Diabetes Data Group criteria. Four miRNAs were analyzed in the plasma of women 15 years after the diagnosis of GDM. The study found that 50% of women had some degree of glucose intolerance 15 years after the diagnosis of GDM, which was directly related to body weight and body mass index during pregnancy. Dysglycemic women also showed significantly increased levels of circulating hsa-miR-24-3p. Thus, initial weight and BMI, along with circulating expression levels of hsa-miR-24-3p, could be good predictors of the future development of dysglycemia in women with a previous diagnosis of GDM.

Summary: The combination of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and prior gestational diabetes mellitus (pGDM) increases the risk of subsequent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in women. NAFLD and pGDM improve the prediction of T2DM compared to conventional risk factors. NAFLD and pGDM have a synergistic effect on the development of T2DM in women.

Summary: Gestational diabetes (GDM) affects approximately 17 million pregnancies worldwide. Women with a history of GDM are at a significantly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease compared to those without prior GDM. Although prevention and delayed progression of GDM to type 2 diabetes is possible, it is not widely practiced. Considering the increasing rates of type 2 diabetes and CVD in women globally, it is crucial to utilize pregnancy as an opportunity for early identification and preventive intervention.
