Aim: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) exhibits a racial disparity. We examined the prevalence and the association between race, gender, and NAFLD among prediabetes and diabetes populations among adults in the United States.
Methods: We analyzed data for 3,190 individuals ≥18 years old from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2018. NAFLD was diagnosed by FibroScan ® using controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values: S0 (none) < 238, S1 (mild) = 238-259, S2 (moderate) = 260-290, S3 (severe) > 290. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression, adjusting for confounding variables and considering the design and sample
Results: Of the 3,190 subjects, the prevalence of NAFLD was 82.6%, 56.4%, and 30.5% (p < 0.0001) among diabetes, prediabetes and normoglycemia populations respectively. Mexican American males with prediabetes or diabetes had the highest prevalence of severe NAFLD relative to other racial/ethnic groups (p < 0.05). In the adjusted model, among the total, prediabetes, and diabetes populations, a one unit increase in HbA1c was associated with higher odds of severe NAFLD [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.8, 95% confidence level (CI) = 1.4-2.3, p < 0.0001; AOR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.1-4.4, p = 0.033; and AOR = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.1-1.9, p = 0.003 respectively].
Conclusion: We found that prediabetes and diabetes populations had a high prevalence and higher odds of NAFLD relative to the normoglycemic population and HbA1c is an independent predictor of NAFLD severity in prediabetes and diabetes populations. Healthcare providers should screen prediabetes and diabetes populations for early detection of NAFLD and initiate treatments including lifestyle modification to prevent the progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or liver cancer.

Aims: Low blood oxygen saturation is associated with increased mortality and persons with diabetes have sub-clinical hypoxemia. We aimed to confirm the presence of sub-clinical hypoxemia in pre-diabetes, screen-detected diabetes and known diabetes.
Methods: Pre-diabetes was defined as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) ≥ 42 mmol/mol and <48 mmol/mol; known diabetes as history or treatment of diabetes; screen-detected diabetes as no history or treatment of diabetes and HbA1C ≥ 48 mmol/mol. Blood oxygen saturation was measured with pulse oximetry. Urine albumin-to creatinine ratio (UACR) was measured on a single spot urine.
Results: The study included 829 adults (≥18 years) with diabetes (713 (86%) with known diabetes; 116 (14%) with screen-detected diabetes) and 12,747 without diabetes (11,981 (94%) healthy controls; 766 (6%) with pre-diabetes). Mean (95% CI) blood oxygen saturation was 96.3% (96.3% to 96.4%) in diabetes which was lower than in non-diabetes [97.3% (97.2–97.3%)] after adjustment for age, gender, and smoking (p < 0.001), but significance was lost after adjustment for BMI (p = 0.25). Sub-groups with pre-diabetes and screen-detected diabetes had lower blood oxygen saturations than healthy controls (p-values < 0.01). Lower blood oxygen saturation was associated with higher UACR.
Conclusions: Persons with pre-diabetes and screen-detected diabetes have sub-clinical hypoxemia, which is associated with albuminuria.

随着糖尿病患病人数的不断增加,糖尿病足的病人也越来越多,在平时的临床实践中,笔者发现很多糖尿病足病友搞不清楚糖尿病足应该由什么科管?或者说哪个科的医师负责糖尿病足的诊断和治疗。
控制血糖是预防糖尿病足最重要的措施之一,也是治疗糖尿病足综合治疗的基础之一。当出现严重的并发症糖尿病足的时候,控制血糖最重要的方法目前一般认为是胰岛素治疗,而且最好是胰岛素的强化治疗。但很多患者不是非常理解,往往产生很多问题,对于其中一些有代表性的问题做一些回答。

有不少医护人员为了糖尿病足病患者殚精竭虑地工作着,但是也有很多人不理解这种工作的意义,认为糖尿病足患者如果尽快截肢(踝关节以上),可以省去很多医疗资源和社会资源的投入,而且目前各种支具的生产越来越精巧、越来越智能、也越来越便宜,这种劳神费力的工作真有意义吗?
底压力的改变是糖尿病足发病最重要的因素,一般认为这些足底压力的变化是由于糖尿病神经病变所致,而神经病变的极致就是夏柯氏关节的形成。
