Abstract Purpose Scarce information on the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory disfunction (OD) in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients are available. The aims of this study were (1) to assess the olfactory function in T2D patients and to compare it with a control group of individuals without T2D, and (2) to evaluate the differences in OD within T2D patients according to the presence of diabetic complications. Methods A group of 39 T2D patients and a control group of 39 healthy individuals were enrolled. Each subject underwent an evaluation of the olfactory performance using the Sniffing Olfactory Screening Test (SOST) and completed a questionnaire assessing the subjective perception of olfaction. According to the presence of diabetic complications, the group of T2D patients was divided into two subgroups. Non-parametric tests and regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results No differences in the subjective perception of olfaction were demonstrated among T2D patients (with and without complications) and controls. A significant difference for the SOST score was demonstrated among the different groups. In particular, OD was more frequent in T2D patients than in controls. In addition, OD was far more frequent in T2D patients with complications. Regression analysis did not demonstrate any significant association between OD and clinical/demographic characteristics of T2D patients. Conclusion T2D patients were more frequently affected by OD. The subgroup analysis suggested a possible relationship between OD and diabetic complications since patients with T2D diabetic complications demonstrated lower olfactory abilities than controls subjects and T2D patients without diabetic complications.

Abstract In this study we investigated the agewise distributions of serum IgA concentrations in 1251 type 1 and 2224 type 2 diabetic patients, and the association between serum IgA concentration and diabetic complications (retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, macroangiopathy, and hypertension). The IgA concentrations of all groups of diabetic patients were significantly higher than those of the corresponding subgroups of 943 control subjects, except for type 1 patients >60 years of age. High IgA concentrations were found in 23.1% of the whole diabetic group. The prevalence of high IgA was significantly greater in males than in females among type 1 patients (24.4% vs 18%). In conclusion, an increase in circulating IgA concentrations is a generalized phenomenon among diabetic patients; IgA concentrations above the reference range are more common among male than female diabetics; and diabetic complications are associated with a significant increase in serum IgA concentration.

Aims: Hemorheologic and microvascular dysfunction are interdependent in type 2 diabetic patients. However, exact mechanisms explaining this interaction remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impairment of erythrocyte deformability under concurrent recording of electrocardiogram (ECG), since heart-rate-corrected QT interval (QTc interval) prolongation reflects autonomic and microvascular dysfunction in diabetic patients. Methodology: The erythrocyte deformability was investigated on the day of digital ECG recording in diabetic (n = 215) and control (n = 88) groups of outpatients using specific filtration technique. Significant contributors to the erythrocyte deformability were analyzed by multivariate analysis. Results: Difference of mean erythrocyte deformability in the diabetic vs. control group did not reach the statistical significance, but the difference was significant in comparison of diabetic smokers vs. non-smokers and of diabetic patients with vs. without diabetic complications. Impaired diabetic erythrocyte deformability was dependent mostly on the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and negative correlation between QTc interval and the deformability was marginal. Conclusions: Erythrocyte deformability was not necessarily impaired in diabetic patients under the intensive antidiabetic medication. However, this deformability was impaired in diabetic smokers and diabetic patients with clustering of complications. Future studies are required for hemorheologic and microvascular interaction leading to the impaired diabetic microcirculation.

Both periodontal disease and diabetes are common chronic inflammatory diseases. One of the major problems with type 2 diabetes is that unregulated blood glucose levels damage the vascular endothelium and cause complications. A bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and diabetic complications has been reported previously. However, whether periodontal disease affects the presence of diabetic complications has not been clarified. Therefore, we examined the effect of the periodontal disease status on diabetic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Periodontal doctors examined the periodontal disease status of 104 type 2 diabetic patients who visited a private diabetes medical clinic once a month between 2016 and 2018. The subject’s diabetic status was obtained from their medical records. Bayesian network analysis showed that bleeding on probing directly influenced the presence of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes patients. In addition, bleeding on probing was higher in the diabetic retinopathy group (n = 36) than in the group without diabetic retinopathy (n = 68, p = 0.006, Welch’s t-test). Bleeding on probing represents gingival inflammation, which might affect the presence of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes patients who regularly visit diabetic clinics.
