Summary: Given the strain of the obesity epidemic on public health outcomes, new approaches to weight control are necessary. Intermittent fasting, with its beneficial metabolic effects, is an option to consider for individuals with unhealthy weight gain patterns. However, further research is needed for long-term outcomes and it should be avoided in specific health conditions.

Summary: Obesity and diabetes are significant health issues, and moderate weight loss is important for reducing the risk of metabolic diseases. Intermittent fasting (IF) is a popular weight loss strategy, but more research is needed, especially regarding its application in obese and type 2 diabetic patients.

Summary: This review discusses the role of selenium in T2DM and its metabolic co-morbidities, emphasizing the relevance of inflammation and oxidative stress. It describes the epidemiology of selenium studies in diabetes and explains the interaction between selenium status and glucose control. According to current research, dietary selenium supplementation does not appear to be a major causal factor for the development of T2DM.

Summary: This article conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effects of fasting on patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). The results showed that fasting significantly reduced body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, insulin level, and HOMA-IR in patients with MS, while having no effect on glucose, blood pressure, and lipids profile.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is a group of metabolic abnormalities that have a high prevalence and economic burden worldwide. Fasting has emerged as a dietary method for controlling metabolic risk factors, although the effects on humans are still unclear. Preclinical studies have shown positive effects on gut microbiota, glucose and insulin metabolism, weight and visceral fat, and lipid metabolism. However, results from human studies are conflicting and more research is needed.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), undiagnosed, and prior-diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Kazakhstan. The results showed a high prevalence of IFG and a significant proportion of newly diagnosed T2DM in Kazakhstan. The identified risk factors can be used to strengthen the identification of undiagnosed patients and provide preventive or therapeutic interventions to reduce the incidence of T2DM and its complications.

Summary: This study investigated the association between obesity indicators and the risk of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in women, and found that obesity and abdominal obesity were consistently associated with increased odds of developing IFG after 8 years in both pre- and postmenopausal groups, with a stronger association in the premenopausal group. This highlights the need for weight management and lifestyle modification in premenopausal women.

Summary: Life is defined as an instantaneous encounter of circulating matter and flowing energy, and the relationship between redox biology and metabolism forms a dynamic balance in health, but disruption can lead to disease. The rising prevalence of metabolic diseases presents challenges in understanding, diagnosing, and treating them, emphasizing the need for research on novel redox-metabolic biomarkers.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the mitochondrial dynamics response in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells during the metabolic transition from fasting to feeding. The results demonstrated that this transition reduces mitochondria-ER interactions, induces mitochondrial fission, and reduces mitochondrial cristae density in human PBMCs.

Summary: The study found that waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) and waist circumference are the obesity indices most strongly associated with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) among adults from West African countries. Due to its simplicity, waist circumference may be the most useful metric for conveying the risk of T2DM in this population.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of collaborative care on patients with depression and diabetes over a period of 36 months. The results showed that there were no differences in improvements in multiple or single risk factors at 36 months between the collaborative care and usual care groups. However, patients who had achieved improvements in depressive symptoms and glucose levels at 12 months were more likely to maintain these improvements at 36 months.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus can infect various tissues including endocrine organs, leading to organ damage or dysfunction. The main receptor ACE2 is expressed in cells of the endocrine system, and the virus has been found in post-mortem samples from COVID-19 patients. The exact mechanisms are not fully understood and further research is needed. Additionally, endocrine diseases may impact the severity of COVID-19, highlighting the importance of reducing their prevalence or improving treatment in the future.

Summary: Our study systematically reviewed the literature on the associations between built environment characteristics and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Asia. The findings showed that several built environment attributes, such as urban green space, walkability, food environment, and air pollution, were significantly related to T2D in Asia. Additionally, particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide were strongly associated with T2D risk. This highlights the importance of considering the built environment in relation to T2D prevention and public health planning.

Summary: The increasing diabetes population has resulted in escalated costs and overburdened physicians. Patient-friendly technologies, such as telemedicine and mobile apps, can significantly reduce complications and improve healthcare outcomes. Remote monitoring and wearable devices also play a vital role in preventing long-term complications and improving patients' quality of life.

Summary: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to abnormal glucose tolerance detected for the first time during pregnancy. GDM is associated with obstetric and neonatal complications and increases the risk of future diabetes and obesity for both mother and baby. Risk factors for GDM include age, obesity, family history of diabetes, previous history of GDM, ethnicity, multi-fetal pregnancies, and polycystic ovaries. The IADPSG criteria, recommending a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test at 24-28 weeks, is the most accepted screening and diagnostic criterion for GDM. Managing GDM during pregnancy and ensuring postpartum follow-up is crucial to maintain normal glucose levels and prevent complications. This article discusses postpartum testing and highlights strategies based on the Women in India with GDM Strategy project, which achieved a 95.8% postpartum follow-up rate.

Summary: Diabetes is highly prevalent worldwide and in the APAC region, and glucose monitoring is crucial for optimizing diabetes management. The APAC Diabetes Care Advisory Board conducted a survey and expert panel meeting to explore glucose monitoring patterns, patient profiles, benefits, challenges, and potential solutions in the region. The results will guide the formulation of APAC-specific consensus guidelines for continuous glucose monitoring in people with diabetes.

Summary: The hypoglycemia caused by excessive insulin secretion in congenital hyperinsulinemia (CHI) can lead to irreversible brain damage. Mutations in several genes, including ABCC8 and KCNJ11, have been identified as causal. A 3-month-old male infant with seizures and hyperinsulinemia was found to have a novel homozygous missense mutation in the KCNJ11 gene. The identification of such mutations is critical for future therapeutic interventions.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis found that total and fermented dairy products, especially plain yogurt, are inversely associated with new onset type 2 diabetes, while milk, cheese, and other dairy products have a neutral effect. Subgroup analysis by ethnicity showed that total dairy products and milk have protective effects on diabetes in Asian populations, while fermented dairy products are protective in Western populations. The analysis by age demonstrated that the consumption of high-fat dairy products predisposes younger adults to type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical and biochemical profile, as well as the prevalence of complications, between childhood/adolescent-onset and adult-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) at a diabetes center in south India. The data of 5,578 individuals diagnosed with T1D and treated at the center between 1991 and 2021 were analyzed. The results showed that individuals with adult-onset T1D had a higher prevalence of microvascular complications than those with childhood/adolescent-onset T1D, and GAD-negative individuals in the adult-onset group had a higher percentage of retinopathy and chronic kidney disease.
