[Summary] As of 2014, an estimated 387 million people have diabetes mellitus ( DM) worldwide, which represents 8.3%of the adult population.China Noncommunicable Disease Surveillance in 2010 shows that the overall prevalence of DM is estimated to be 11.6%(approximately 113.9 million) in the Chinese adult population, with the prevalence among men of 12.1%and women of 11.0%, respectively.Control of blood glucose is fundamental to DM management.Despite the availability of several antihyperglycemic agents, only 53%of patients with DM achieve the recommended goals for DM care of HbA1C<7.0%.According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Survey during the period of 10 years in the United States, 33.4%to 48.7%of persons with DM still have not met the targets for glycemic control, blood pressure or lipid level.In order to improve glycemic control, there is a need for new therapeutic options with innovative mechanisms of action and acceptable safety profiles.As a newly developed class of oral antidiabetic drugs, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors(SGLT2i) have recently been approved for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, including canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin.Evidence from clinical trials has suggested promising efficacy and safety of SGLT2i when used as monotherapy or in combination with other antihyperglycemic medications.SGLT2i significantly reduce HbA1C and fasting plasma glucose, and are well tolerated in general with a low intrinsic propensity to cause hypoglycemia, as well as rare severe renal or cardiovascular adverse events reported.

The glycemic variability is one component of unified glucose tetrad concept.The long-term glycemic fluctuation may enhance the oxidative stress reaction,which can promote the development of micro vascular complications.The relationship between the glycemic variability and the CVD deserves further investigation.CGMS is helpful to monitor the glucose fluctuation especially in those with fragile diabetes and no symptom hypoglycemia.The suitable regime is the key point to control glycemic variability,even after the desired HbA1c target is attained.

Objective To investigate the changes of blood glucose and insulin after intake of staple food containing potato,sorghum or wheat in healthy adults. Methods This study had a cross-over design. A total of 12 healthy adults were recruited and randomly averaged into 3 groups. After fasting for 10 hours,all the subjects were treated with steamed buns of potato,sorghum and wheat flours(100 g in raw flour),respectively. Serum glucose,insulin,triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC)and uric acid(SUA) were measured at fasting,0.5 h,1 h,2 h and 3 h. After a wash period for 3 days,subjects crossed over to alternate group at second intervention and third intervention on the 5 th and 9 th day. During each intervention,the entire above index were tested. Results Postprandial insulin levels at 3 h was significantly higher in the potato steamed buns group(4.74 μU/ml)than in the sorghum steamed buns (1.65 μU/ml)group(P =0.028). There were no statistical differences in blood glucose and fasting,0.5 h,1 h,2 h insulin level. Conclusion Postprandial insulin level at 3 h was higher in potato flour steamed buns than in sorghum flour steamed buns.

Objective To observe the effects of aerobic training on plasma tissue plasminogen activator/plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and postaglandin I2/thromboxanes A2 in rats fed a high methionine diet. Methods Ninetysix male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal diet control group (CR), a high methionine diet group (MR)and a high methionine diet plus 90 min aerobic training intervention group (T + MR). After 8 weeks of training, the plasma level of homocysteine (Hcy) 6-keto-PGF1α, TXB2, t-PA and PAI-1 were measured. Results Plasma Hcy in the MR group increased two-fold as compared with the CR group, whereas t-PA/PAI-1 and 6-keto-PGF1α/TXB2 of the MR group decreased significantly. Plasma Hcy in the T + MR group significantly decreased, while plasma t-PA/PAI-1 and 6-ketoPGF1α/TXB2 increased significantly compared with the MR group. The above parameters were not different in the T + MR group from those of the CR group. Conclusions Hyperhomocysteinemia could be induced by a high methionine diet.Proper training can decrease the plasma Hcy level of rats fed with a high methionine diet, and correcting the imbalance of t-PA/PAI-1 and 6-Keto-PGF1α/TXB2 could prevent the development of hyperhomocysteinemia.

Objective To observe the effects of aerobic exercise on the plasma content of homocysteine (Hcy),total nitric oxide synthase(T-NOS) and nitric oxide (NO) in rats fed a high methionine diet. Methods A total of 24 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal diet(CR)group,a high methionine diet(MR) group and a high methionine diet plus swimming group(T+MR),and treated accordingly for 8 weeks.At the end of the treatment,all the animals were tested for plasma T-NOS,NO and homocysteine levels.Results Plasma homo-cysteine doubled,whereas T-NOS and NO levels in the MR group decreased significantly as compared with the CR group,suggesting that hyperhomocysteinemia was induced by the high methionine diet.Plasma homocysteine content decreased significantly in the T+CR group,but plasma T-NOS and NO increased significantly compared with the MR group.These indicators were not significantly different for the T+MR group from those of the CR group. Conclu-sion Adequate aerobic exercise can decrease the plasma level of homocysteine in rats fed a high methionine diet,and increase the plasma level of T-NOS and NO,helping prevent the development of hyperhomocysteinemia.
