Article Abstract

Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is one of the most common chronic metabolic diseases in the world. Insulin replacement therapy and drug adjuvant therapy are the main means of modern medical treatment of T1DM; still, there are adverse reactions such as drug resistance, which seriously hinder the therapeutic effect. As a unique medical method in China, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a significant effect on the treatment of T1DM. TCM therapy can reduce the symptoms of T1DM, prevent complications, improve insulin resistance, and promote insulin secretion. In recent years, the research field of TCM in the treatment of T1DM has made considerable progress. The research on the treatment of T1DM by Chinese herbal medicine, TCM prescription, acupuncture, and moxibustion shows good anti-T1DM effect and significantly improves the survival rate of patients. This article aims to summarize the methods of TCM in the treatment of T1DM, expounds on the mechanism of action in the treatment of T1DM, and discusses the limitations and opportunities of TCM in the treatment of T1DM.

Causal Associations of Iron Status With the Renal Function and Diabetic Nephropathy in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

J Diabetes Res

September 2025

Department of Endocrinology, Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, The Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.

This study was to explore the causal effect of iron status on renal function and the risk of diabetic nephropathy in diabetic patients. The data on exposures including ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation (TSAT), and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) were obtained from a genome-wide association study (GWAS). The outcomes were diabetic nephropathy, Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with renal complications, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with renal complications, estimated glomerular filtration rate (creatinine) (eGFRcrea) in diabetes mellitus, and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in diabetes mellitus.

Etiology of childhood acute leukemia is largely unknown, though environmental factors and infection-related immune responses may contribute. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), an autoimmune disease also with onset primarily in childhood, shares risk factors with leukemia, including childhood infection patterns. Epidemiological evidence suggests a link between T1DM and leukemia, but the extent of this association remains unclear.
