Carotid artery intima-media thickness in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance: a systematic review
183
TL;DR: The objective is to review the difference in carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) between patients with Type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or control subjects.

Abstract: Aims To review the difference in carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) between patients with Type 2 diabetes (DM) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and control subjects.
Methods Systematic reviews were made in order to identify cross-sectional studies using the ultrasound method. The differences between IMT in DM or IGT and control subjects were calculated. Meta-analysis using random-effects modelling was used to calculate summary measures.
Results Twenty-three studies included 24 111 subjects; 4019 with DM and 1110 with IGT. In 20 of 21 studies, the diabetic patients had greater carotid artery IMT than the subjects in the control groups. The estimated mean difference in IMT was 0.13 (95% CI: 0.12–0.14) mm. Heterogeneity was observed and likely sources of variation were study size, diabetes duration, and ultrasound method. In three out of nine studies, the IGT patients had significant greater carotid artery IMT than the subjects in the control groups. The estimated mean difference in IMT was 0.04 (95% CI: 0.014–0.071) mm.
Conclusions Type 2 diabetes was associated with an 0.13 mm increase in IMT compared with control subjects. In patients with IGT, the increase in IMT was about one-third of that observed in diabetes. The observed difference in IMT can be interpreted as if the diabetes patients were more than 10 years older than the control groups, and that the relative risks of myocardial infarction and stroke were increased by almost 40%, respectively.

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease and the microcirculation.
TL;DR: The changes observed in the vascular tree in people with T2DM compared to the general population are reviewed, the effects of established anti-diabetes drugs on microvascular outcomes are explored, and the hypotheses to account for common causalities of the increased prevalence of CVD and hypertension are explored.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness for Atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: It remains unclear whether routine carotid IMT measurement is useful for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in clinical practice, and Physicians should comprehensively interpret the results ofcarotid ultrasonography.
Guideline for management of postmeal glucose.
TL;DR: A growing body of evidence suggests that reducing postmeal plasma glucose excursions is as important, or perhaps more important for achieving HbA1c goals than previously thought.

TL;DR: Patients with SSc have an increased risk of atherosclerosis compared to healthy subjects, and marked heterogeneity between studies was mainly attributable to variations in disease duration and differences in the mean/median age between SSc patients and controls.

TL;DR: A WHO Consultation has taken place in parallel with a report by an American Diabetes Association Expert Committee to re‐examine diagnostic criteria and classification of diabetes mellitus and is hoped that the new classification will allow better classification of individuals and lead to fewer therapeutic misjudgements.

Mortality from Coronary Heart Disease in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes and in Nondiabetic Subjects with and without Prior Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: It is suggested that diabetic patients without previous myocardial infarction have as high a risk of myocardia infarctions as nondiabetic patients with previous my Cardiac Arrest.

TL;DR: Increases in the thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery, as measured noninvasively by ultrasonography, are directly associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults without a history of cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes, other risk factors, and 12-yr cardiovascular mortality for men screened in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial.
TL;DR: Findings emphasize the need for rigorous sustained intervention in people with diabetes to control blood pressure, lower serum cholesterol, and abolish cigarette smoking, and the importance of considering nutritional-hygienic approaches on a mass scale to prevent diabetes.
