There is an increasing awareness that in those who develop early-onset (18-39 years) adult type 2 diabetes, an increase in insulin resistance, deterioration in beta-cell, and clustering of cardiovascular risk factors are particularly pronounced. Pregnant women with type 2 diabetes have additional risk factors for serious adverse pregnancy outcomes as well as added barriers regarding healthcare access before, during, an Read More

Background: Maternal diabetes mellitus during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy complications for both the mother and the fetus. One of the most prevalent complications is pathological fetal growth, and particularly infants are born large for gestational age (LGA), which leads to problematic deliveries, including the need for caesarean section, instrumental delivery, and further perinatal complicatio Read More

Monogenic diabetes occurs in up to 3% of people with diabetes. Mutations in over 40 different genes are responsible. The most common genes affected are HNF1A, HNF4A, GCK, and HNF1B. Additionally, other types of diabetes with a genetic aetiology include neonatal diabetes and diabetes plus syndrome. Each of these genetic subtypes has a different phenotype and requires distinctive treatments. Due to the overlap of mon Read More

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with fetal and maternal complications, and the prevalence has been increasing over the past decades. Hence, it is imperative to effectively screen, manage and monitor patients with GDM, but there continues to be a lack of consensus on optimal screening for GDM internationally. In this review, we discuss the current screening methods for GDM, some of which are controv Read More

The incidence of metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type two diabetes (T2DM), continues to increase worldwide, and their onset is often attributed to adherence to a western diet and a sedentary lifestyle. However, large variability exists in one's likelihood of developing metabolic dysregulation, illustrating that our understanding of heritability patterns remains poorly understood. Diabetes and obesity are multifacto Read More

Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is the third leading cause of death in Indonesia (6.7 %), followed by stroke (21.1 %) and coronary heart disease (12.9 %). The prevalence of diabetes worldwide continues to increase on a yearly basis, including in Indonesia. Diabetes is a significant burden for many countries due to the high costs of treatment and reduced productivity of diabetes patients. Comprehensive Read More

The incidence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus is increasing globally. A diet rich in carbohydrates increases the hyperglycemic state. While considering the lifestyle changes to combat life-threatening diseases, there is an effort to decrease the daily intake of carbohydrates. A low-carbohydrate diet also makes the body rely more on fat for energy, so there is less fat accumulation. A diet is considered to be low-carb Read More

Aims: This study aims to determine the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in primary Brain Tumor (BT) subjects and assess the relationship between serum mutant p53 serum and HbA1c and insulin. Background: T2DM is known to increase the risk of various types of cancer, which are thought to be caused by hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and inflammation. A cohort study that looked at more than 500,00 Read More

Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most prevalent endocrine illnesses among women of reproductive age. PCOS is linked to several issues, including hypothyroidism and metabolic disorders. Hypothyroidism seems to be associated with insulin resistance and other metabolic factors. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of hypothyroidism in PCOS patients and compare it with Read More

Background: The concurrent, recent increase in prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and twin pregnancy, in combination with the shared risk factors, has led to speculation that multiples are a risk factor for GDM and, GDM may contribute to twin complications. Twin pregnancies have different physiology and greater obstetric risks compared to singletons, including prematurity and growth restriction. However, in t Read More
