Type 2 diabetes and leucocyte DNA methylation: an epigenome-wide association study in over 1,500 older adults

TL;DR: Cg19693031, which is located within the 3′-untranslated region of TXNIP, might play a role in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, and this result appears biologically plausible given that thioredoxin-interacting protein is overexpressed in diabetic animals and humans and3′- untranslated regions are known to play a regulatory role in gene expression.

Modelling of OGTT curve identifies 1 h plasma glucose level as a strong predictor of incident type 2 diabetes: results from two prospective cohorts

TL;DR: One-hour plasma glucose (1h-PG) was a fair/good predictor of incident type 2 diabetes in the Botnia study and MPP and outperformed the prediction model of multiple clinical risk factors (age, sex, BMI, family history of type 1 diabetes) in theBotnia studyand MPP.

International association of diabetes and pregnancy study groups recommendations on the diagnosis and classification of hyperglycemia in pregnancy.

TL;DR: The Brazilian study provided evidence that adverse perinatal outcomes are associated with levels of maternal glycemia below those diagnostic of GDM by American Diabetes Association or World Health Organization criteria, however, the results were potentially confounded by the treatment of G DM.

Follow-up report on the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The International Expert Committee was convened to reexamine the classification and diagnostic criteria of diabetes, which were based on the 1979 publication of the National Diabetes Data Group and subsequent WHO study group and adopted several changes to the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and for lesser degrees of impaired glucose regulation (IFG/IGT).
