Type 2 diabetes can affect all people, regardless of age. Early symptoms of type 2 diabetes may be missed, so those affected may not even know they have the condition. An estimated one out of every three people within the early stages of type 2 diabetes are not aware they have it. Dia...
In the final analysis, because the glycemic definition for diabetes is probably of limited value per se in defining risk of CVD complications, taken to its logical conclusion this approach leads to the concept that prevention of diabetes itself may ultimately be the optimal path to the ...
We aimed to compare the risk of incident diabetes according to fatty liver disease (FLD) definition, focusing on the comparison between those who met criteria for either metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) but not the other. This...
Type 2 diabetes is caused by two problems: either the body doesn’t make enough insulin, or it doesn’t respond normally to insulin (sometimes referred to as insulin resistance). When your body can’t produce or respond to insulin properly, your blood sugar rises. Type 2 diabetes also has...
To overcome the insufficient definition of a diagnosis simply as a direct complication of type 2 diabetes according to sequential patterns from claims data, we used the term “accompanying comorbidity” rather than “complication” to encompass all possible relationships with type 2 diabetes. Results ...
All analyses were performed using the TwoSampleMR,27 Mendelianrandomization,28 and MR-PRESSO26 packages in R version 3.6.0 (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria). Results Genetically predicted higher BMI, waist circumference, and liability to type 2 diabetes were associated with ...
There are two major forms of the disease. Type 1 diabetes, formerly referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes, usually arises in childhood. Type 2 diabetes, formerly called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes, usually ...
The definition of Type 2 diabetes in this study was as follows: fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level ≥126 mg/dL, having a self-reported history of diabetes, and/or the administration of anti-diabetic agents. This study was approved by the local ethics committee of Panasonic Health Insurance ...
1 Estimates of the risk of progression from prediabetes to diabetes vary widely, perhaps because of differences in the definition of prediabetes or the heterogeneity of prediabetes.2 A large cohort study of 77 107 persons with prediabetes reported that the risk of developing diabetes increased ...
967 (9.7%) had impaired fasting glucose (IFG; ≥6.1–<7.0 mmol/L), and 2,651 (26.5%) had the broader definition of impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose ≥5.6–<7.0 mmol/L; Table 2). The two IFG subcategories (fasting plasma glucose ≥5.6–≤6.0 mmol/L, or ≥...
