Multilevel Diabetes Prevention Interventions to Address Population Inequities in Diabetes Risk: Scoping Review

  • JMIR Public Health and Surveillance, August 2025
  • Description: Type 2 diabetes risk is disproportionately higher among structurally marginalized communities, partly due to influences from social, economic, and environmental determinants of health. Individual-level diabetes prevention strategies address proximal factors, such as modifiable behaviors, often overlooking the role of multilevel socioecological factors that contribute to diabetes risk and inequities. Multilevel diabetes prevention interventions involve actions that address multiple health determinants across the individual, community, and systemic levels of influence, offering a promising approach to reducing inequities in diabetes risk.

Characterizing Plasma Lipid Species in Metabolic Dysfunction Associationed Steatotic Liver Disease in Person with Type 1 Diabetes

  • Scientific Reports, August 2025
  • Description: Hepatic lipotoxicity and inflammation are two key factors driving progression of steatosis to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The presence of MASH increases the risk of cardiovascular events, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and non-liver malignancies. Although MASLD and lipid species have been extensively examined in persons with type 2 diabetes, much less is known in type 1 diabetes.

Label Accuracy in Electronic Health Records and Its Impact on Machine Learning Models for Early Prediction of Gestational Diabetes: 3-Step Retrospective Validation Study

  • JMIR Medical Informatics, August 2025
  • Description: Several studies have used electronic health records (EHRs) to build machine learning models predicting the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) later in pregnancy, but none have described validation of the GDM "label" within the EHRs.

Long-term Adherence to Modifiable Factors and INcident Cardiovascular Disease Among Women with a History of Gestational Diabetes: A Prospective Cohort Study

  • Journal of the American Heart Association, August 2025
  • Description: Women with prior gestational diabetes are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but whether and to what extent this risk is modifiable is unknown.

Combined Use of Vitamin D and DPP-4 Inhibitors as a Potential Adjuvant Treatment Strategy to Enhance the Efficacy of Novel Beta-Cell Replacement Therapies for Type 1 Diabetes

  • Medical Sciences, August 2025
  • Description: Based on preclinical and clinical studies conducted in the fields of autoimmune diabetes and solid organ/cell transplantation, the present narrative review aims to describe the rationale behind the investigation of VIDPP-4i combination therapy as an adjuvant treatment strategy to enhance the efficacy of novel beta-cell replacement therapies for T1D. In this regard, [the authors] discuss the potential immune and metabolic mechanisms through which vitamin D and DPP-4 inhibitors can promote the long-term function and survival of transplanted islets in patients with T1D receiving various types of beta-cell replacement therapies, including therapeutic approaches using encapsulated stem cell-derived beta cells.

Lipoprotein Levels and Statin Treatment Related to Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes: An Observational Analysis from the ADVANCE Study

  • Cardiovascular Diabetology, August 2025
  • Description: Studies on the association between lipid levels and lipid-lowering treatment and the risk of dementia and/or cognitive decline (CD) have shown conflicting results and are few in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim was to evaluate the relationship of baseline LDL cholesterol levels and statin treatment with the development of dementia/CD in patients with T2D from the Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron Modified Release Controlled Evaluation trial.

Post-transplant Diabetes Mellitus in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Prospective Cohort Study of Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes

  • Medicine (Baltimore), August 2025
  • Description: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common metabolic complication following kidney transplantation and is associated with an increased risk of graft failure, cardiovascular disease, infections, and mortality. We prospectively analyzed the risk factors and clinical consequences of PTDM in patients who underwent kidney transplantation at our center.
