These findings imply that the waist circumference is an important additional piece of information for assessing the risk of type 2 DM, particularly among persons of low or normal weight.

In type 2 diabetic patients, severe vitamin D deficiency predicts increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, independent of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) and conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Whether vitamin D substitution improves prognosis remains to be investigated.

Insulin pump therapy using a simple dosing regimen significantly improved glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Combined use of insulin and miglitol is useful for postprandial glucose regulation and improves glycemic control.

Individuals who use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on a near-daily basis can have substantial improvement in glycemic control.

Exenatide leads to long-term improvement of glycaemic control as well as weight loss in a majority of patients not responding to combined oral drug therapy in real-world clinical practice.

These findings support the effectiveness of self-management education programmes to increase self-care behaviours.

These results demonstrate that exenatide acutely and profoundly inhibits postprandial excursions of proatherogenic lipids and lipoproteins and may offer additional cardiovascular risk reduction.

No difference between the patients visiting the center with fulminant type 1 diabetes and those with non-fulminant type 1 diabetes was observed in the development of microangiopathy complications.

In this sample of mostly lower-income, minority youths with type 1 diabetes, there was a significant lack of knowledge concerning the meaning and implications of the HbA1c test.
