Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in the developed world. Until 2016, the only treatment that was clearly demonstrated to delay the DKD was the renin-angiotensin system blockade, either by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers. However, this strategy only partially covered the DKD progression. Thus, new strategies for reno-cardiovascular protection in type 2 diabetic patients are urgently needed. In the last few years, hypoglycaemic drugs, such as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, demonstrated a cardioprotective effect, mainly in terms of decreasing hospitalization for heart failure and cardiovascular death in type 2 diabetic patients. In addition, these drugs also demonstrated a clear renoprotective effect by delaying DKD progression and decreasing albuminuria. Another hypoglycaemic drug class, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, has been approved for its use in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, avoiding, in part, the need for insulinization in this group of DKD patients. Studies in diabetic and non-diabetic experimental models suggest that these drugs may exert their reno-cardiovascular protective effect by glucose and non-glucose dependent mechanisms. This review focuses on newly demonstrated strategies that have shown reno-cardiovascular benefits in type 2 diabetes and that may change diabetes management algorithms.

Objective: To evaluate the association between the development of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) and antihypertensive drugs (AHDs) use among type 2 diabetic patients with concomitant hypertension. Methods: Type 2 diabetic patients aged 20-100 years who had at least one prescription for AHDs between 2000 and 2011 were identified from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) 2005. The incidence rates of STDR were followed and Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze the risk associated with AHDs. Results: Users of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) were associated with a significantly higher risk than users of calcium channel blockers (CCBs), independent of baseline characteristics. After adjusting for time-varying use of concomitant medications for propensity score-matched or -unmatched cohorts, the results showed that patients receiving ACEIs/ARBs and CCBs were associated with a significantly greater risk compared with β-blocker users. Conclusions: Our study did not support a superiority of ACEIs/ARBs and CCBs over β-blockers for lowering the progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract. The present study aimed to investigate the dynamics of clinical and laboratory parameters and serum Klotho protein level in patients with diabetic kidney disease using nephroprotective therapy combined with an inhibitor of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) dapagliflozin. Methods. A total of 76 type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) were examined in this prospective study. Control group - 20 healthy subjects. 53 patients received a standard course of treatment, which included metformin, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers and statins. In addition to standard therapy, 23 patients have been prescribed the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin 10 mg per day. The treatment follow-up period was six months. Klotho concentration was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results. The development of DN in type 2 diabetic patients was accompanied by a significant decrease in soluble Klotho protein in comparison with controls and patients without nephropathy. During follow-up, Klotho protein level was changed significantly in the group of DN patients with albuminuria. Standard therapy resulted in Klotho concentration increase by 14% compared to pre-treatment values; a more demonstrative increase in the Klotho level was found in the dapagliflozin group (almost 23%). Conclusions. SGLT2 inhibitor treatment resulted in a significant increase of pleiotropic serum protein Klotho in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease.

Background. Offspring of type 2 diabetic patients are at a high risk of type 2 diabetes. Information on diabetes genetic susceptibility and prevention should be supplied to the offspring.Methods. A six-page booklet on diabetes genetic susceptibility and prevention was distributed to 173 patients who ere ordered to hand it to their offspring. The patients answered a self-administered questionnaire on booklet delivery and attitudinal and behavioral changes toward diabetes and its prevention in themselves and their offspring.Results. Valid responses were obtained from 130 patients. Forty-nine patients had actually handed the booklet. Booklet induces more relief than anxiety. From the patient's view, favorable attitudinal and/or behavioral changes occurred in more than half of the offspring who were delivered the booklet.Conclusion. The booklet worked effectively on attitudes and behaviors toward diabetes and its prevention both in patients and their offspring. However, the effectiveness of patients as information deliverers was limited.

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus is common in the Indian population and awareness regarding the disease and its complications is low among the patients with diabetes. There is lack of studies regarding awareness of complications of diabetes among type 2 diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness of diabetic complications among type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS This is an institutional based observational study. The sample comprised of 150 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent treatment in the Department of Medicine, Medical College Kottayam and the patient’s age ranged from 18 - 77 years. RESULTS Majority of patients were in the age group 38 to 57 and the sample comprised of 56 % males and 44 % female patients. Out of 150 patients involved in the study, 120 patients (80 %) were aware of the complications of diabetes mellitus. Among the male patients, 70 (83.33 %) and among females, 50 (75.75 %) were aware of the complications in diabetes. In the study sample, 92 (61.33 %) were aware of the foot problems, 120 patients (80 %) were aware of renal complications, 91 patients were aware regarding eye problems of diabetes, 38 (25.33 %) regarding development of hypertension, 62 (41.33 %) regarding heart attack, 42 (28 %) patients were aware regarding development of stroke and 78 patients (52 %) had awareness regarding occurrence of recurrent infections. CONCLUSIONS Awareness regarding diabetes and its complications is fairly good among the diabetic patients in Kerala. Awareness regarding all complications of diabetes was higher among males than females. Providing awareness to type 2 diabetic patients by various educational programs may be of further help to prevent complications and to decrease the mortality and morbidity in type 2 diabetes patients.

Fifty-four type 2 diabetic patients with neuroischemic foot ulcers were randomised to treatment with 5000 IU of dalteparin, (n=28), or physiological saline, (n=26), once daily until ulcer healing or for a maximum of 6 months. Thirty-three patients had normo-, 15 micro-, and 6 macroalbuminuria. The urinary levels of IgM and IgG2were elevated in 47 and 50 patients, respectively. Elevated urinary levels of IgM and IgG2indicate decreased glomerular size selectivity. Urine IgM levels were associated with IGF-1/IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-1 levels. Dalteparin treatment increased urinary levels of glycosaminoglycans (P<0.001) and serum IGFBP-1 (P<0.05) while no significant effects were seen in any of the other studied parameters. In conclusion, dalteparin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes had no effects on urinary levels of albumin, IgM, or IgG2despite significantly increased glycosaminoglycans in urine. Elevated urinary levels of IgM and IgG2might be more sensitive markers of renal disease than albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and antihypertensive therapy.
