In a nutshellDietary advice for diabetics has included both reducing and increasing CHO.Some short term trials show improved glucose control from lower CHO, more fibre and lower GI foods. Light alcohol intake may provide some benefit. All these require further trials on their long term outcomes. And we should remember that, of all the lifestyle interventions in type 2 diabetes, the most effective appears to be exercise.

Prior to 1985, type 2 diabetes was a disease of adults. Simultaneously with the global epidemic of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes has increased in children. Initially, the presentation of small case series of type 2 diabetes in children was met with skepticism. As the number and size of the case series grew and the first long-term outcomes of end-stage complications in young adults appeared in the literature, the international community took notice with guarded interest. Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects the children of specific ethnic groups and from disadvantaged socioeconomic environments, especially Indigenous populations. The past decade has seen unprecedented intense global interest in the etiology, treatment, and prevention of type 2 diabetes in children.

Metformin therapy is associated with lower serum magnesium (Mg2+) levels in type 2 diabetes patients. The TRPM6 channel determines the fine-tuning of Mg2+ (re)absorption in intestine and kidney. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the short- and long-term effects of metformin on TRPM6. Patch clamp recordings and biotinylation assays were performed upon 1 h of incubation with metformin in TRPM6-transfected HEK293 cells. Additionally, 24 h of treatment of mDCT15 kidney and hCaco-2 colon cells with metformin was applied to measure the effects on endogenous TRPM6 expression by quantitative real-time PCR. To assess Mg2+ absorption, 25Mg2+ uptake measurements were performed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Short-term effects of metformin significantly increased TRPM6 activity and its cell surface trafficking. In contrast, long-term effects significantly decreased TRPM6 mRNA expression and 25Mg2+ uptake. Metformin lowered TRPM6 mRNA levels independently of insulin- and AMPK-mediated pathways. Moreover, in type 2 diabetes patients, metformin therapy was associated with lower plasma Mg2+ concentrations and fractional excretion of Mg2+. Thereby, short-term metformin treatment increases TRPM6 activity explained by enhanced cell surface expression. Conversely, long-term metformin treatment results in downregulation of TRPM6 gene expression in intestine and kidney cells. This long-term effect translated in an inverse correlation between metformin and plasma Mg2+ concentration in type 2 diabetes patients.
