RESUMO
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of stand-alone intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) with or without a structured education programme and blood glucose monitoring (BGM) in adults with type 2 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI). METHODS: In this 24 week randomised open-label multicentre trial, adults with type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy with HbA1c levels of 58-108 mmol/mol (7.5-12.0%) were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to isCGM with a structured education programme on adjusting insulin dose and timing according to graphical patterns in CGM (intervention group), isCGM with conventional education (control group 1) or BGM with conventional education (control group 2). Block randomisation was conducted by an independent statistician. Due to the nature of the intervention, blinding of participants and investigators was not possible. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline at 24 weeks, assessed using ANCOVA with the baseline value as a covariate. RESULTS: A total of 159 individuals were randomised (n=53 for each group); 148 were included in the full analysis set, with 52 in the intervention group, 49 in control group 1 and 47 in control group 2. The mean (± SD) HbA1c level at baseline was 68.19±10.94 mmol/mol (8.39±1.00%). The least squares mean change (± SEM) from baseline HbA1c at 24 weeks was -10.96±1.35 mmol/mol (-1.00±0.12%) in the intervention group, -6.87±1.39 mmol/mol (-0.63±0.13%) in control group 1 (p=0.0367 vs intervention group) and -6.32±1.42 mmol/mol (-0.58±0.13%) in control group 2 (p=0.0193 vs intervention group). Adverse events occurred in 28.85% (15/52) of individuals in the intervention group, 26.42% (14/53) in control group 1 and 48.08% (25/52) in control group 2. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Stand-alone isCGM offers a greater reduction in HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes on MDI when education on the interpretation of graphical patterns in CGM is provided.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: This study compares the efficacy and safety of a tubeless, on-body automated insulin delivery (AID) system with that of a tubeless, on-body sensor-augmented pump (SAP). METHODS: This multicentre, parallel-group, RCT was conducted at 13 tertiary medical centres in South Korea. Adults aged 19-69 years with type 1 diabetes who had HbA1c levels of <85.8 mmol/mol (<10.0%) were eligible. The participants were assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive a tubeless, on-body AID system (intervention group) or a tubeless, on-body SAP (control group) for 12 weeks. Stratified block randomisation was conducted by an independent statistician. Blinding was not possible due to the nature of the intervention. The primary outcome was the percentage of time in range (TIR), blood glucose between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/l, as measured by continuous glucose monitoring. ANCOVAs were conducted with baseline values and study centres as covariates. RESULTS: A total of 104 participants underwent randomisation, with 53 in the intervention group and 51 in the control group. The mean (±SD) age of the participants was 40±11 years. The mean (±SD) TIR increased from 62.1±17.1% at baseline to 71.5±10.7% over the 12 week trial period in the intervention group and from 64.7±17.0% to 66.9±15.0% in the control group (difference between the adjusted means: 6.5% [95% CI 3.6%, 9.4%], p<0.001). Time below range, time above range, CV and mean glucose levels were also significantly better in the intervention group compared with the control group. HbA1c decreased from 50.9±9.9 mmol/mol (6.8±0.9%) at baseline to 45.9±7.4 mmol/mol (6.4±0.7%) after 12 weeks in the intervention group and from 48.7±9.1 mmol/mol (6.6±0.8%) to 45.7±7.5 mmol/mol (6.3±0.7%) in the control group (difference between the adjusted means: -0.7 mmol/mol [95% CI -2.0, 0.8 mmol/mol] (-0.1% [95% CI -0.2%, 0.1%]), p=0.366). No diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycaemia events occurred in either group. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: The use of a tubeless, on-body AID system was safe and associated with superior glycaemic profiles, including TIR, time below range, time above range and CV, than the use of a tubeless, on-body SAP.

Pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) accompanies disrupted intestinal tight junctions. However, many approaches of therapeutics for IBD are focused only on anti-inflammatory effects and most cellular experiments are based on two-dimensional cell lines which have insufficient circumstances of intestine. Thus, here, we used three-dimensional structure intestinal organoids to investigate effects of metformin in the in vitro IBD condition. In this study, we focused on both tight junctions and the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Metformin enhances the intestinal barrier in injured intestine via upregulation of AMP-activated protein kinase, dysfunction of which contributes to the pathogenesis of intestinal diseases. We aim to investigate the effects of metformin on cytokine-induced injured intestinal organoids. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) was used to induce intestinal injury in an organoid model, and the effects of metformin were assessed. Cell viability and levels of inflammatory cytokines were quantified in addition to tight junction markers. Furthermore, 4 kDa FITC-dextran was used to assess intestinal permeability. The upregulation of inflammatory cytokine levels was alleviated by metformin, which also restored the intestinal epithelium permeability in TNF-α-treated injury organoids. We confirmed that claudin-2 and claudin-7, representative tight junction markers, were also protected by metformin treatment. This study confirms the protective effects of metformin, which could be used as a therapeutic strategy for inflammatory intestinal diseases.

BACKGROUND: We investigated the effects of a physical activity encouragement intervention based on a smartphone personal health record (PHR) application (app) on step count increases, glycemic control, and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: In this 12-week, single-center, randomized controlled, 12-week extension study, patients with T2D who were overweight or obese were randomized using ratio 1:2 to a group using a smartphone PHR app (control group) or group using the app and received individualized motivational text messages (intervention group) for 12 weeks. During the extension period, the sending of the encouraging text messages to the intervention group was discontinued. The primary outcome was a change in daily step count after 12 weeks and analyzed by independent t-test. The secondary outcomes included HbA1c, fasting glucose, and body weight analyzed by paired or independent t-test. RESULTS: Of 200 participants, 62 (93.9%) and 118 (88.1%) in the control and intervention group, respectively, completed the 12-week main study. The change in daily step count from baseline to week 12 was not significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.365). Among participants with baseline step counts < 7,500 steps per day, the change in the mean daily step count at week 12 in the intervention group (1,319 ± 3,020) was significantly larger than that in control group (-139 ± 2,309) (P = 0.009). At week 12, HbA1c in the intervention group (6.7 ± 0.5%) was significantly lower than that in control group (6.9 ± 0.6%, P = 0.041) and at week 24, changes in HbA1c from baseline were significant in both groups but, comparable between groups. Decrease in HbA1c from baseline to week 12 of intervention group was greater in participants with baseline HbA1c ≥ 7.5% (-0.81 ± 0.84%) compared with those with baseline HbA1c < 7.5% (-0.22 ± 0.39%) (P for interaction = 0.014). A significant reduction in body weight from baseline to week 24 was observed in both groups without significant between-group differences (P = 0.370). CONCLUSIONS: App-based individualized motivational intervention for physical activity did not increase daily step count from baseline to week 12, and the changes in HbA1c levels from baseline to week 12 were comparable. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03407222).

OBJECTIVE: This retrospective cohort study aimed to confirm the previously reported inverse association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using large population based data. It also investigated the associations between AAA and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and new onset DM (not yet treated). METHODS: A representative dataset was obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance Service. Participants who were aged ≥ 50 years and received a national health examination in 2009 were included and followed until 31 December 2019. Glycaemic status was defined based on fasting plasma glucose level and the relevant diagnostic codes. AAA was ascertained using medical facility use records with relevant diagnostic codes or aneurysm repair surgery. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association between glycaemic status and AAA, with adjustment for confounders. Additionally, the interactions between glycaemic status and subgroups based on baseline characteristics were examined. RESULTS: The study population comprised 4 162 640 participants. Participants with IFG or DM were significantly more likely to be male, older, and have comorbidities compared with normoglycaemic participants at baseline. The incidence of AAA was lower in participants with IFG or DM compared with normoglycaemic participants. The AAA risk was lower in patients with DM than in patients with IFG, and decreased linearly according to glycaemic status: the adjusted hazard ratio was 0.88 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85 - 0.91) for IFG, 0.72 (95% CI 0.67 - 0.78) for newly diagnosed DM, 0.65 (95% CI 0.61 - 0.69) for DM duration < 5 years, and 0.47 (95% CI 0.44 - 0.51) for DM duration ≥ 5 years compared with the normoglycaemia group. Both IFG and DM were related to reduced AAA risk in all subgroups, suggesting an independent association. CONCLUSION: Both IFG and DM, even when not treated with antihyperglycaemic medication, were associated with a lower incidence of AAA. The AAA risk decreased linearly according to DM duration.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) and mortality. However, whether the progression or regression of NAFLD can increase or decrease the risk of heart failure (HF) and mortality has not been fully evaluated. We investigated the association between changes in hepatic steatosis and the risks of incident HF (iHF), hospitalization for HF (hHF), and mortality including CV- or liver-related mortality. METHODS: Using a database from the National Health Insurance Service in Korea from January 2009 to December 2012, we analyzed 240,301 individuals who underwent health check-ups at least twice in two years. Hepatic steatosis was assessed using the fatty liver index (FLI), with an FLI ≥ 60 considered to indicate the presence of hepatic steatosis. According to FLI changes, participants were divided into four groups. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS: Persistent hepatic steatosis increased the risk of iHF, hHF, and mortality including CV- and liver-related mortality compared with the group that never had steatosis (all P < 0.05). Incident hepatic steatosis was associated with increased risk for iHF and mortality including CV- or liver-related mortality (all P < 0.05). Compared with persistent steatosis, regression of hepatic steatosis was associated with decreased risk for iHF, hHF, and liver-related mortality (iHF, HR [95% CI], 0.800 [0.691-0.925]; hHF, 0.645 [0.514-0.810]; liver-related mortality, 0.434 [0.223-0.846]). CONCLUSIONS: FLI changes were associated with increased or decreased risk of HF outcomes and mortality.

BACKGROUND: Although both type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), evidence is lacking as to whether the presence of NAFLD confers an additional risk of CVD in patients with T2DM. We investigated the associations between hepatic steatosis and/or fibrosis and risk of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure (HF), and mortality in patients with new-onset T2DM. METHODS: Using the Korean National Health Insurance dataset, we included 139,633 patients diagnosed with new-onset T2DM who underwent a national health screening from January 2009 to December 2012. Hepatic steatosis and advanced hepatic fibrosis were determined using cutoff values for fatty liver index (FLI) and BARD score. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS: During the median follow-up of 7.7 years, there were 3,079 (2.2%) cases of MI, 4,238 (3.0%) cases of ischemic stroke, 4,303 (3.1%) cases of HF, and 8,465 (6.1%) all-cause deaths. Hepatic steatosis defined as FLI ≥ 60 was associated with increased risk for MI (HR [95% CI], 1.28 [1.14-1.44]), stroke (1.41 [1.25-1.56]), HF (1.17 [1.07-1.26]), and mortality (1.41 [1.32-1.51]) after adjusting for well-known risk factors. Compared to the group without steatosis, the group with steatosis and without fibrosis (BARD < 2) and the group with both steatosis and fibrosis (BARD ≥ 2) showed gradual increased risk for MI, stroke, HF, and mortality (all p for trends < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Hepatic steatosis and/or advanced fibrosis as assessed by FLI or BARD score were significantly associated with risk of CVD and mortality in new-onset T2DM.

Inhibition of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)-induced inflammatory responses could be a novel target in clinical islet transplantation. We investigated the protective effects of NecroX-7, a novel clinical-grade necrosis inhibitor that specifically targets mitochondrial ROS, against primary islet graft failure. Islets from heterozygote human islet amyloid polypeptide transgenic (hIAPP+/- ) mice and nonhuman primates (NHPs) were isolated or cultured with or without NecroX-7 in serum-deprived medium. Supplementation with NecroX-7 during hIAPP+/- mouse islet isolation markedly increased islet viability and adenosine triphosphate content, and attenuated ROS, transcription of c-Jun N-terminal kinases, high mobility group box 1, interleukin-1beta (IL-1 ß ), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Supplementation of NecroX-7 during serum-deprived culture also protected hIAPP+/- mouse and NHP islets against impaired viability, serum deprivation-induced ROS, proinflammatory response, and accumulation of toxic IAPP oligomer. Supplementation with NecroX-7 during isolation or serum-deprived culture of hIAPP+/- mouse and NHP islets also improved posttransplant glycemia in the recipient streptozotocin-induced diabetic hIAPP-/- mice and BALB/c-nu/nu mice, respectively. In conclusion, pretransplant administration of NecroX-7 during islet isolation and serum-deprived culture suppressed mitochondrial ROS injury, generation of DAMPs-induced proinflammatory responses, and accumulation of toxic IAPP oligomers ex vivo, and improved posttransplant glycemia in vivo.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: We investigated the hazards of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and all-cause death during follow-up according to baseline body mass index (BMI) and percent change in BMI among adults with insulin-treated diabetes. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Using the Korean National Health Insurance Service datasets (2002-2017), the hazards of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and all-cause mortality during follow-up were analyzed according to baseline BMI and percent change in BMI among adults with insulin-treated diabetes and without baseline CVD and/or malignancy (N = 44,055). RESULTS: At baseline, 67.3% of total subjects were either obese or overweight. During a mean 3.8 years, 1,081 MI and 1,562 stroke cases developed; 2,847 deaths occurred over a mean 3.9 years. Compared with normal weight, overweight and obesity were associated with lower hazards of outcomes [hazard ratio (95% CI): 0.836 (0.712-0.981), 0.794 (0.687-0.917) for MI; 0.829 (0.726-0.946), 0.772 (0.684-0.870) for stroke; 0.740 (0.672-0.816), 0.666 (0.609-0.728) for death, respectively]. Underweight was associated with a higher hazard of all-cause death during follow-up [hazard ratio (95% CI): 2.035 (1.695-2.443)]. When the group with minimum absolute value for percent change in BMI was set as a reference, the relative reduction in BMI was associated with increased hazards of MI, stroke, and all-cause death, and relative increase in BMI was associated with increased hazards of stroke and all-cause death during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Among adults with insulin-treated diabetes, a high prevalence of overweight and obesity was observed, and baseline BMI category was inversely associated with CVD incidence and all-cause death during follow-up. Both weight loss and gain were associated with increased CVD incidence and all-cause death during follow-up, showing a U-shaped relationship between weight change and outcome. Stable body weight might be a predictor of a lower risk of CVDs and premature death among individuals with insulin-treated diabetes.

BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a hepatic manifestation of metabolic disease and independently affects the development of cardiovascular (CV) disease. We investigated whether hepatic steatosis and/or fibrosis are associated with the development of incident heart failure (iHF), hospitalized HF (hHF), mortality, and CV death in both the general population and HF patients. METHODS: We analyzed 778,739 individuals without HF and 7445 patients with pre-existing HF aged 40 to 80 years who underwent a national health check-up from January 2009 to December 2012. The presence of hepatic steatosis and advanced hepatic fibrosis was determined using cutoff values for fatty liver index (FLI) and BARD score. We evaluated the association of FLI or BARD score with the development of iHF, hHF, mortality and CV death using multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models. RESULTS: A total of 28,524 (3.7%) individuals in the general population and 1422 (19.1%) pre-existing HF patients developed iHF and hHF respectively. In the multivariable-adjusted model, participants with an FLI ≥ 60 were at increased risk for iHF (hazard ratio [HR], 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30, 1.24-1.36), hHF (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.44-1.66), all-cause mortality (HR 1.62, 95% CI 1.54-1.70), and CV mortality (HR 1.41 95% CI 1.22-1.63) in the general population and hHF (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.21-1.54) and all-cause mortality (HR 1.54 95% CI 1.24-1.92) in the HF patient group compared with an FLI < 20. Among participants with NAFLD, advanced liver fibrosis was associated with increased risk for iHF, hHF, and all-cause mortality in the general population and all-cause mortality and CV mortality in the HF patient group (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Hepatic steatosis and/or advanced fibrosis as assessed by FLI and BARD score was significantly associated with the risk of HF and mortality.

BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is an emerging global health issue attributed to an ageing population. However, the association between low skeletal muscle mass, sarcopenic obesity, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction remains unclear. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between low skeletal muscle mass, sarcopenic obesity, and diastolic dysfunction in a large cohort of Korean adults. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 31 258 subjects who underwent health examinations at Samsung Medical Centre's Health Promotion Centre in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Relative skeletal muscle mass was calculated using the skeletal muscle mass index [SMI (%) = appendicular skeletal muscle mass (kg)/body weight (kg) × 100], which was estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Cardiac structure and function were evaluated by echocardiography. RESULTS: Amongst the 31 258 subjects, 3058 (9.78%) were determined to have diastolic dysfunction. The odds ratio (OR) of diastolic dysfunction was 1.56 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31-1.85; p for trend <0.001] for the lowest SMI tertile relative to the highest SMI tertile following multivariable adjustment. Furthermore, the risk of diastolic dysfunction was much higher in the sarcopenic obesity (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.44-1.99), followed by in the obesity-only (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.21-1.62), and sarcopenia-only (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.08-1.61) when compared with the nonobese, nonsarcopenic group. These results remained consistent amongst the elderly (age ≥ 65 years). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that lower skeletal muscle mass and sarcopenic obesity are strongly associated with diastolic dysfunction in middle-aged and older adults.

We investigated the relationship between glucose variability and frailty. Forty-eight type 2 diabetic patients aged ≥ 65 years were enrolled. The FRAIL scale was used for frailty assessment, and participants were classified into 'healthy & pre-frail' (n = 24) and 'frail' (n = 24) groups. A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system was used for a mean of 6.9 days and standardized CGM metrics were analyzed: mean glucose, glucose management indicator (GMI), coefficient of variation, and time in range, time above range (TAR), and time below range. The demographics did not differ between groups. However, among the CGM metrics, mean glucose, GMI, and TAR in the postprandial periods were higher in the frail group (all P < 0.05). After multivariate adjustments, the post-lunch TAR (OR = 1.12, P = 0.019) affected the prevalence of frailty. Higher glucose variability with marked daytime postprandial hyperglycemia is significantly associated with frailty in older patients with diabetes.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been associated with relative skeletal muscle mass in several cross-sectional studies. We explored the effects of relative skeletal muscle mass and changes in relative muscle mass over time on the development of incident NAFLD or the resolution of baseline NAFLD in a large, longitudinal, population-based 7-year cohort study. We included 12,624 subjects without baseline NAFLD and 2943 subjects with baseline NAFLD who underwent health check-up examinations. A total of 10,534 subjects without baseline NAFLD and 2631 subjects with baseline NAFLD were included in analysis of changes in relative skeletal muscle mass over a year. Subjects were defined as having NAFLD by the hepatic steatosis index, a previously validated NAFLD prediction model. Relative skeletal muscle mass was presented using the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), a measure of body weight-adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle mass, which was estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Of the 12,624 subjects without baseline NAFLD, 1864 (14.8%) developed NAFLD during the 7-year follow-up period. Using Cox proportional hazard analysis, compared with the lowest sex-specific SMI tertile at baseline, the highest tertile was inversely associated with incident NAFLD (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] = 0.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.38-0.51) and positively associated with the resolution of baseline NAFLD (AHR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.02-4.28). Furthermore, compared with the lowest tertile of change in SMI over a year, the highest tertile exhibited a significant beneficial association with incident NAFLD (AHR = 0.69, 95% CI = 0.59-0.82) and resolution of baseline NAFLD (AHR = 4.17, 95% CI = 1.90-6.17) even after adjustment for baseline SMI. Conclusion: Increases in relative skeletal muscle mass over time may lead to benefits either in the development of NAFLD or the resolution of existing NAFLD.

BACKGROUND: Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are well-established risk factors for cardiovascular disease and early mortality. However, few studies have directly compared the hazards of cardiovascular outcomes and premature death among people with type 1 diabetes to those among people with type 2 diabetes and subjects without diabetes. Furthermore, information about the hazard of cardiovascular disease and early mortality among Asians with type 1 diabetes is sparse, although the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of Asians with type 1 diabetes are unlike those of Europeans. We estimated the hazard of myocardial infarction (MI), hospitalization for heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF), and mortality during follow-up in Korean adults with type 1 diabetes compared with those without diabetes and those with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We used Korean National Health Insurance Service datasets of preventive health check-ups from 2009 to 2016 in this retrospective longitudinal study. The hazard ratios of MI, HF, AF, and mortality during follow-up were analyzed using the Cox regression analyses according to the presence and type of diabetes in ≥ 20-year-old individuals without baseline cardiovascular disease (N = 20,423,051). The presence and type of diabetes was determined based on the presence of type 1 or type 2 diabetes at baseline. RESULTS: During more than 93,300,000 person-years of follow-up, there were 116,649 MIs, 135,532 AF cases, 125,997 hospitalizations for HF, and 344,516 deaths. The fully-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident MI, hospitalized HF, AF, and all-cause death within the mean follow-up of 4.6 years were higher in the type 1 diabetes group than the type 2 diabetes [HR (95% CI) 1.679 (1.490-1.893) for MI; 2.105 (1.901-2.330) for HF; 1.608 (1.411-1.833) for AF; 1.884 (1.762-2.013) for death] and non-diabetes groups [HR (95% CI) 2.411 (2.138-2.718) for MI; 3.024 (2.730-3.350) for HF; 1.748 (1.534-1.993) for AF; 2.874 (2.689-3.073) for death]. CONCLUSIONS: In Korea, the presence of diabetes was associated with a higher hazard of cardiovascular disease and all-cause death. Specifically, people with type 1 diabetes had a higher hazard of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality compared to people with type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to establish the association between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-defined glycaemic variability (GV) and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in type 1 diabetes independent of mean glucose and to examine the relative contribution of each internationally standardized CGM parameter to this association. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 80 adults with type 1 diabetes who underwent 3-day CGM and autonomic function tests within 3 months. The degree of association between internationally standardized CGM parameters and CAN, defined as at least two abnormal parasympathetic tests or the presence of orthostatic hypotension, were analysed by logistic regression, receiver operating characteristics (ROC), and dominance analysis. RESULTS: A total of 36 subjects (45.0%) were diagnosed with CAN. When adjusted with mean glucose and clinical risk factors of CAN, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion, percent time in level 1 (glucose 54-69 mg/dL) and level 2 (glucose < 54 mg/dL) hypoglycaemia, area under the curve in level 2 hypoglycaemia, low blood glucose index, high blood glucose index, and percent time in glucose 70 to 180 mg/dL were independently associated with CAN. Multivariable ROC analysis and dominance analysis revealed the highest relative contribution of percent time in level 2 hypoglycaemia to the independent associations between CGM parameters and presence of CAN. CONCLUSIONS: CGM-defined GV was associated with CAN independent of mean glucose in adults with type 1 diabetes. Among internationally standardized CGM parameters, those describing the degree of level 2 hypoglycaemia were the most significant contributors to this association.

BACKGROUND: We estimated the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The ESRD risk of CKD in patients with T1D was compared with that of CKD in patients without diabetes and with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also evaluated the predictive value of metabolic syndrome (MetS) for ESRD development in CKD patients with T1D. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Korean National Health Insurance Service datasets of preventive health check-ups from 2009 to 2016 were used. The risk of incident ESRD was analysed according to the presence and type of diabetes in CKD (defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) patients aged 20 years or older. Incident ESRD risk according to the presence of MetS was calculated among adult patients with CKD and T1D. RESULTS: During 10 701 375.84 person-years of follow-up, 43 693 cases of ESRD developed. Hazard ratios (HRs) for incident ESRD from CKD in the T1D group were 2.580 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.336-2.849) and 9.267 (95% CI, 8.378-10.251) compared with T2D and nondiabetes groups, respectively. In CKD patients with T1D, the presence of MetS increased incident ESRD risk by an HR of 2.023 (95% CI, 1.501-2.727). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of diabetes increases the risk for ESRD development from CKD. Furthermore, patients with T1D have a higher risk for ESRD incidence from CKD than do patients with T2D in a Korean population. MetS may be a useful predictor for ESRD in CKD patients with T1D.

BACKGROUND: For an effective artificial pancreas (AP) system and an improved therapeutic intervention with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), predicting the occurrence of hypoglycemia accurately is very important. While there have been many studies reporting successful algorithms for predicting nocturnal hypoglycemia, predicting postprandial hypoglycemia still remains a challenge due to extreme glucose fluctuations that occur around mealtimes. The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of easy-to-use, computationally efficient machine-learning algorithm to predict postprandial hypoglycemia with a unique feature set. METHODS: We use retrospective CGM datasets of 104 people who had experienced at least one hypoglycemia alert value during a three-day CGM session. The algorithms were developed based on four machine learning models with a unique data-driven feature set: a random forest (RF), a support vector machine using a linear function or a radial basis function, a K-nearest neighbor, and a logistic regression. With 5-fold cross-subject validation, the average performance of each model was calculated to compare and contrast their individual performance. The area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and the F1 score were used as the main criterion for evaluating the performance. RESULTS: In predicting a hypoglycemia alert value with a 30-min prediction horizon, the RF model showed the best performance with the average AUC of 0.966, the average sensitivity of 89.6%, the average specificity of 91.3%, and the average F1 score of 0.543. In addition, the RF showed the better predictive performance for postprandial hypoglycemic events than other models. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we showed that machine-learning algorithms have potential in predicting postprandial hypoglycemia, and the RF model could be a better candidate for the further development of postprandial hypoglycemia prediction algorithm to advance the CGM technology and the AP technology further.

BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle mass was negatively associated with metabolic syndrome prevalence in previous cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of baseline skeletal muscle mass and changes in skeletal muscle mass over time on the development of metabolic syndrome in a large population-based 7-year cohort study. METHODS: A total of 14,830 and 11,639 individuals who underwent health examinations at the Health Promotion Center at Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea were included in the analyses of baseline skeletal muscle mass and those changes from baseline over 1 year, respectively. Skeletal muscle mass was estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis and was presented as a skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), a body weight-adjusted appendicular skeletal muscle mass value. Using Cox regression models, hazard ratio for developing metabolic syndrome associated with SMI values at baseline or changes of SMI over a year was analyzed. RESULTS: During 7 years of follow-up, 20.1% of subjects developed metabolic syndrome. Compared to the lowest sex-specific SMI tertile at baseline, the highest sex-specific SMI tertile showed a significant inverse association with metabolic syndrome risk (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] = 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.68). Furthermore, compared with SMI changes < 0% over a year, multivariate-AHRs for metabolic syndrome development were 0.87 (95% CI 0.78-0.97) for 0-1% changes and 0.67 (0.56-0.79) for > 1% changes in SMI over 1 year after additionally adjusting for baseline SMI and glycometabolic parameters. CONCLUSIONS: An increase in relative skeletal muscle mass over time has a potential preventive effect on developing metabolic syndrome, independently of baseline skeletal muscle mass and glycometabolic parameters.

BACKGROUND: We investigated whether glycated albumin (GA) and its variability are associated with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and further compared their associations with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). METHODS: This retrospective longitudinal study included 498 type 2 diabetic patients without CAN. CAN was defined as at least two abnormal results in parasympathetic tests or presence of orthostatic hypotension. The mean, standard deviation (SD), and coefficient of variance (CV) were calculated from consecutively measured GA (median 7 times) and HbA1c levels (median 8 times) over 2 years. Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the associations between CAN and GA- or HbA1c-related parameters. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to compare the predictive power for CAN between GA- and HbA1c-related parameters. RESULTS: A total of 53 subjects (10.6%) developed CAN over 2 years. The mean, SD, and CV of GA or HbA1c were significantly higher in subjects with CAN. Higher mean GA and GA variability were associated with the risk of developing CAN, independent of conventional risk factors and HbA1c. In ROC curve analysis, the SD and CV of GA showed higher predictive value for CAN compared to the SD and CV of HbA1c, whereas the predictive value of mean GA did not differ from that of mean HbA1c. The mean, SD, and CV of GA showed additive predictive power to detect CAN development along with mean HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS: Higher serum GA and its variability are significantly associated with the risk of developing CAN. Serum GA might be a useful indicator for diabetic complications and can enhance HbA1c's modest clinical prediction for CAN.
