Asymptomatic celiac disease is a frequently occurring comorbidity in people with type 1 diabetes, and transitioning to a gluten-free diet may increase postprandial glycemic variability, researchers report.
People who undergo bariatric surgery have a lower long-term risk for mortality, but a higher risk for adverse events such as gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders, compared with those who do not undergo surgery, researchers report.
People with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis are at particularly high risk for progression to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma if they have diabetes, say researchers.
People with type 1 diabetes are approximately twice as likely to experience gastrointestinal symptoms as those without, and these symptoms are associated with poor glycemic control and quality of life, study results suggest.
Researchers from the DiRECT trial have reported large positive effects on liver fat and insulin secretion among people who achieved type 2 diabetes remission in response to a very-low-calorie diet.
Research shows that changes in markers of the metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease are present more than 20 years before people receive a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
Researchers presented the results of several studies investigating the risks associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and potential treatment strategies at the EASD annual meeting in Lisbon, Portugal.
Results of a randomized trial suggest that patients with type 2 diabetes experience metabolic benefits from a hypocaloric diet regardless of whether it is low in fat or low in carbohydrate content.
Results of a randomized trial suggest that the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor ipragliflozin has equivalent efficacy to pioglitazone for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes complicated by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
