Multicenter StudyCan trajectories of glycemic control be predicted by depression, anxiety, or diabetes-related distress in a prospective cohort of adults with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes? Results of a five-year follow-up from the German multicenter diabetes cohort study (GMDC-Study).
The longitudinal association between glycemic control with depression, anxiety or diabetes-related distress in type 1 diabetes is poorly understood. Therefore, we examined long-term trajectories of HbA1c in a new-onset cohort of adults with type 1 diabetes, and analyzed associations with depression, anxiety, and diabetes-related distress. ⋯ We identified distinct trajectories of glycemic control. Depression and anxiety were highly prevalent but they neither predicted 'poor'/'good' glycemic control trajectories nor were they associated with glycemic control at any assessment point.

Serum fibrinogen predicts diabetic ESRD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Although increased serum fibrinogen level was often observed in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN), its association with DN severity and progression remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the serum fibrinogen levels and clinicopathological features and renal prognosis in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and DN. ⋯ These findings suggested that the elevated serum levels of fibrinogen were associated with diabetic ESRD in patients with T2DM.
