Introduction: Morbid obesity (MO) has a significant impact on mortality, health and quality of life of patients. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common comorbidity in patients with MO. The aim is to study T2DM remission and to develop a prediction model for T2DM remission after two-stage surgical treatment of patients with MO. Materials and methods: The study included 97 patients with MO. The mean BMI was 68.08 (95% CI: 66.45 - 69.71) kg/m2. 70 (72,2%) patients with MO were diagnosed with T2DM. The first stage of treatment for the main group (n=60) included the IGB placement, for the control group (n=37) - conservative therapy. In the second stage of treatment the patients underwent bariatric surgery. The study addresses such indicators as BMI, percentage of weight loss, percentage of excess weight loss, ASA physical status class, fasting glucose level, HbA1c, C-peptide. Results: Two-stage treatment of morbidly obese patients with T2DM promotes complete T2DM remission in 68.1% of patients. The risk prediction model for failure to achieve complete T2DM remission 12 months after LRYGB based on a baseline C-peptide level has a high predictive value, AUC = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.69-0.93), OR = 0.23 ( 95% CI: 0.08-0.67). Conclusions: Two-stage treatment of patients with MO promotes improvement of carbohydrate metabolism indicators. With a C-peptide level > 3.7 ng/ml, prediction of complete T2DM remission 12 months after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is favorable.

Background and objectivesThe progression of kidney disease in some patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may not be adequately suppressed by renin-angiotensin system inhibitors. Esaxerenone (CS-3150) is a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor blocker that has shown kidney protective effects in preclinical studies, and it is a potential add-on therapy to treat diabetic kidney disease. This phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of esaxerenone in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 365 hypertensive or normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥45 to <300 mg/g creatinine) treated with renin-angiotensin system inhibitor who had eGFR≥30 ml/min per 1.73 m2. Participants were randomized to receive 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, or 5 mg/d esaxerenone or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary end point was the change in urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio from baseline to week 12 (with last observation carried forward).ResultsEsaxerenone treatment at 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/d significantly reduced urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio by the end of treatment (38%, 50%, and 56%, respectively) compared with placebo (7%; all P<0.001). The urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio remission rate (defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio <30 mg/g creatinine at the end of treatment and ≥30% decrease from baseline) was 21% in the 2.5- and 5-mg/d groups versus 3% for placebo (both P<0.05). Adverse events occurred slightly more frequently with esaxerenone versus placebo, but the frequencies of drug-related adverse events and discontinuation rates were similar in the placebo and the 0.625-, 1.25-, and 2.5-mg/d groups. Drug-related adverse events and treatment discontinuations were marginally higher in the 5-mg/d group. The most common drug-related adverse event was hyperkalemia, which was dose proportional.ConclusionsAdding esaxerenone at 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/d for 12 weeks to an ongoing renin-angiotensin system inhibitor significantly reduces urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria.

Introduction: Numerous biochemical markers are being used in clinical practice for the prediction and prognostication of vascular complications among non diabetic individuals. Of late, fasting C-peptide levels is being investigated for its possible role in the prediction and protection of vascular complications of diabetes. It is also being explored for its protective role in prevention of vascular complications among patients with diabetes mellitus. Aim: The present study was undertaken with an objective to assess the strength of association of fasting C-peptide levels in the development of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Materials and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study involving 100 subjects with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) having an objective evidence of vascular complications were included into the study. The study period was 18 months from October 2017 to September 2019. After an overnight fasting of atleast 12 hours, C-peptide level estimation was done by Electro-Chemiluminescence Assay (ECLA) method. Results: The overall mean fasting C-peptide level among subjects with microvascular complications (0.73±0.55 ng/mL) was significantly decreased compared with subjects having macrovascular complications (2.44±0.72 ng/mL, with p-value being <0.001). Among microvascular complications, the mean fasting C-peptide level was least in subjects with diabetic retinopathy (0.64±0.35 ng/mL). Among patients with macrovascular complications, preserved C-peptide levels were observed in subjects with ischemic heart disease (2.35±0.75 ng/mL). Conclusion: Fasting serum C-peptide levels are significantly reduced among subjects with chronic T2DM having microvascular complications when compared to macrovascular complications. Also, with preserved serum levels, fasting C-peptide might have a protective role in the prevention of macrovascular complications among subjects with diabetes mellitus.
