Introduction: A comprehensive understanding of gene-diet interactions is necessary to establish proper dietary guidelines for the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We examined the roles of genetic variants and their interactions with T2DM-associated nutrients in a large-scale genome-wide association study of Korean adults.
Methods: A total of 50,808 participants from a Korean genome and epidemiology study were included. Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Dietary nutrient intake was classified based on the Korean Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval were calculated after adjusting for age, sex, exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, total energy consumption, principal component 1, and principal component 2.
Results: Among the individuals consuming vitamin A (retinol equivalent) above the DRI, the carriers of the melanotransferrin () rs73893755 minor allele (T) had a higher risk of T2DM than the non-carriers (OR = 1.85, -value = 1.66 × 10; interaction -value = 7.61 × 10). Similarly, among the individuals consuming cholesterol (mg/day) above the DRI, the carriers of the tripartite motif-containing protein 25 () rs139560285 minor allele (A) had a higher risk of T2DM than the non-carriers (OR = 2.02, -value = 4.06 × 10; interaction -value = 4.28 × 10).
Discussion: Our results suggest that interactions between specific polymorphisms and certain nutrients may influence T2DM development.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diabetic eye disease screening continuum at two academic centers and identify its barriers.
Research Design And Methods: We analyzed health records from the University of California, San Francisco and University of California, Irvine to identify primary care patients needing diabetic eye screening. We tracked referrals, screenings, diagnoses, and treatments to evaluate predictors and the impact of an automated referral system.

Background: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with several cardiometabolic risk factors, particularly metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Reference values for VAT vary across populations, genders, and ages. Data on visceral fat in the Algerian population are lacking.

Objective: This study investigates the mechanisms behind exercise capacity in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), focusing on central and peripheral components, as described by the Fick equation.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 141 adults with T2DM was conducted, using cardiopulmonary exercise testing, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and exercise echocardiography. Participants with sufficient-quality NIRS data were stratified into tertiles based on percentage predicted VO₂peak.

There is a lack of longitudinal data on type 2 diabetes (T2D) in low- and middle-income countries. We leveraged the electronic health records (EHR) system of a publicly funded academic institution to establish a retrospective cohort with longitudinal data to facilitate benchmarking, surveillance, and resource planning of a multi-ethnic T2D population in Malaysia. This cohort included 15,702 adults aged ≥ 18 years with T2D who received outpatient care (January 2002-December 2020) from Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.
