“…In a cross-sectional study carried out in 2016-2017 in Turaif city, Saudi Arabia, to identify the prevalence of diabetes, they found that 58.7% of the diabetic patients were aged between 36 and 65 years old, and females had a higher percentage than males (57.5%, 42.5% respectively). A significant relationship was identified between age, sex, and diabetes among the studied population (P < 0.05) in a study done by Alanazi NH et al [ 15 ]. Mohammed MS et al conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the lipid profile level in type 2 diabetes patients with vitamin D deficiency.…”

Introduction Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-known health care problem. The is a growing interest in the role of vitamin D in metabolism including glucose and lipid metabolism. This study aims to investigate the possible association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and serum lipid levels among patients with T2DM. Method A cross-sectional study was done at the King Faisal University Health Care Center in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics and Research Committee at the College of Medicine, King Faisal University. We obtained the clinical and laboratory data of patients with T2DM by searching the electronic files of patients attending the center during the period between 2014 and 2021. Data collected included age, gender, nationality, vitamin D levels, HbA1c, and lipid levels. The chi-square and independent sample t-tests were applied when appropriate, for comparisons between groups to determine significance. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result The study included 191 diabetic patients, 137 (71.7%) from Saudi Arabia, and 54 (28.3%) from other countries. Patient ages ranged from 21 to 100 years with a mean age of 56.2 ± 11.8 years. Cholesterol levels were observed to be high among 61 (32.3%) patients. Considering vitamin D, the average level among male patients was 26.526 ng/ml compared to 26 ng/ml% among females (P = 0.742). Conclusion Further long-term and more comprehensive randomized controlled trials are needed to make a firmer conclusion and stronger evidence on this beneficial role of vitamin D treatment on T2DM.

“…The prevalence of diabetes has reached over 30% in some countries, most notably in the western pacific islands, such as Tokelau (37.5%), Federated States of Micronesia (35%) and the Marshall Islands (34.9%) 2 , although In 2013 the overall prevalence of diabetes in mainland China was 10.9% 7 , The prevalence of pre-diabetes in China is 35.7% 8 , much higher than in some other countries such as Saudi Arabia (6.8%), India (6.3%), and the southern cone of Latin America (17.8%) 3,9,10 . It is not clear whether pre-diabetes increases the risk of hypertension and hyperlipidemia.…”

This study investigates the prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes and their associated risk factors among adults in Northeast China. A multistage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select adults from Jilin Province. Out of an initial recruitment of 23,050 individuals, 21,435 participants completed an interview and medical examination. The estimated prevalence of diabetes and pre-diabetes were 9.1% and 19.8%, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity were the highest in participants with previously diagnosed diabetes. Participants who were previously diagnosed with diabetes were more likely to be aware of their hypertension and dyslipidemia status. Participants who were older, male, more educated, or who were widows or widowers were at greater risk for pre-diabetes. Similarly, those who were current drinkers or smokers, had higher BMI or waist circumference, had a family history of diabetes, or who reported they lived in urban areas or had low physical activity levels had increased pre-diabetes risk. The observed levels of diabetes and pre-diabetes in this study indicate that the medical authority needs to focus more attention in this area, and that health monitoring is essential to improving the health awareness of its residents.

“…Studies have shown that non-East Asian countries such as Saudi Arabia (6.8%), India (6.3%) and South Latin America (17.8%) have pre-diabetes prevalence 2 to 5-fold lower than East Asian countries as China (35.7%). A total of 37% of pre-diabetic patients who leave their condition untreated may see themselves develop diabetes in 4 years [13,41,42,43,44,45]. Moreover, if lifestyle changes were adopted, long-term studies have shown that the risk of this progression—from pre-diabetes to diabetes—can be lowered for an extended period of 10 years [41].…”

From Pre-Diabetes to Diabetes: Diagnosis, Treatments and Translational Research

Diabetes, a silent killer, is one of the most widely prevalent conditions of the present time. According to the 2017 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) statistics, the global prevalence of diabetes among the age group of 20–79 years is 8.8%. In addition, 1 in every 2 persons is unaware of the condition. This unawareness and ignorance lead to further complications. Pre-diabetes is the preceding condition of diabetes, and in most of the cases, this ultimately leads to the development of diabetes. Diabetes can be classified into three types, namely type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gestational diabetes. The diagnosis of both pre-diabetes and diabetes is based on glucose criteria; the common modalities used are fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). A glucometer is commonly used by diabetic patients to measure blood glucose levels with fast and rather accurate measurements. A few of the more advanced and minimally invasive modalities include the glucose-sensing patch, SwEatch, eyeglass biosensor, breath analysis, etc. Despite a considerable amount of data being collected and analyzed regarding diabetes, the actual molecular mechanism of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still unknown. Both genetic and epigenetic factors are associated with T2DM. The complications of diabetes can predominantly be classified into two categories: microvascular and macrovascular. Retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy are grouped under microvascular complications, whereas stroke, cardiovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) belong to macrovascular complications. Unfortunately, until now, no complete cure for diabetes has been found. However, the treatment of pre-diabetes has shown significant success in preventing the further progression of diabetes. To prevent pre-diabetes from developing into T2DM, lifestyle intervention has been found to be very promising. Various aspects of diabetes, including the aforementioned topics, have been reviewed in this paper.
