A recent review summarizes the current evidence on type 2 diabetes remission and relapse after metabolic and bariatric surgery, including the underlying mechanisms, predictive factors, and postoperative management.

Reported T2D remission rates after bariatric surgery exceed 70% in some studies, although relapse remains relatively common. Shorter diabetes duration, lower preoperative HbA1c, preserved β-cell function, absence of insulin therapy, and younger age are associated with a greater likelihood of remission. Evidence also suggests that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may provide more durable glycemic control and lower relapse rates than sleeve gastrectomy.

A Proteomic Study Reveals the Relationship Between Arterial Stiffness and Hyperglycemia in Middle-Aged Obese Men

A recent cross-sectional proteomic study of 82 middle-aged men with obesity explored the molecular relationship between arterial stiffness and hyperglycemia. Among the components of metabolic syndrome, hyperglycemia was the only one that differed significantly across the cardio-ankle vascular index categories.

Proteomic analyses identified the “fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis” pathway as significantly enriched in both arterial stiffness and hyperglycemia. The researchers identified 18 shared proteins involved in antioxidant defense, vascular inflammation, mechanosensing, and intracellular signaling.

These results are preliminary and require confirmation in larger studies, as only four participants met the criteria for arterial stiffness. Moreover, the association between fasting plasma glucose and arterial stiffness was no longer statistically significant after adjustment for age and systolic blood pressure.

Higher fasting plasma glucose levels, even within the normal range, may be associated with a greater long-term decline in percent vital capacity in individuals with persistent normal glucose tolerance.

In this observation letter, the authors followed individuals with sustained normal glucose tolerance for 11 years and found that higher baseline fasting plasma glucose was independently associated with a greater decline in %VC.

Can lipid-lowering therapy offer benefits beyond cardiovascular protection in patients with diabetic retinopathy?

This narrative review summarizes recent clinical evidence from 2020–2025 on statins and fenofibrate in diabetic retinopathy. While glycemic and blood pressure control remain essential, the reviewed data suggest that fenofibrate may be associated with more favorable retinal microvascular outcomes, including reduced progression and lower treatment burden in patients with established retinopathy. Evidence for statins, however, remains heterogeneous and clinically intriguing.

A standard creatinine-based eGFR may not tell the whole story in diabetic kidney disease. This NHANES analysis explores whether the gap between cystatin C– and creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRdiff) adds prognostic value in DKD, suggesting that patients with eGFRdiff < –10 mL/min/1.73 m² may carry substantially higher all-cause and cardiovascular risk. A thought-provoking read for clinicians interested in cardio-renal risk stratification and earlier identification of high-risk patients.
