Recurrent episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) were associated with a substantially increased risk of death in patients with type 1 diabetes, according to a retrospective single-center Scottish study.
Limitations of the study included its single-center design, which “does leave the generalizability of these results open to question,” Gibb and colleagues said.

From 2000 to 2012, the overall rates of suicide for people aged 16 and older rose 21 percent, the study found. That works out to an approximate increase from 13 to 16 suicides per every 100,000 people in the United States. But among farmers, fishers and foresters, the suicide rate was dramatically higher — at 85 suicides per 100,000 people. For males in those jobs, the rate was even greater. Their suicide rate was 90.5 suicides per 100,000, according to the report.
Blacks generally have higher HbA1c levels than whites. Rates among Hispanics and Asians also tend to be higher than in whites, although the discrepancy has not been as well-studied in these groups, says University of Cincinnati professor of medicine Robert M. Cohen, MD.

CONCLUSIONS – Diabetes remission up to 3 years after RYGBP and LAGB was proportionally higher with increasing postsurgical weight loss. However, the nearly twofold greater weight loss–adjusted likelihood of diabetes remission in subjects undergoing RYGBP than LAGB suggests unique mechanisms contributing to improved glucose metabolism beyond weight loss after RYGBP.
