This review focused on the effects of curcumin on blood glucose and lipid (blood fat) levels in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes (T2D). This analysis showed that curcumin has benefits for glucose metabolism and lipid functions in these patients.

This review looked at the effect of bariatric surgery (BS; weight loss surgery) on blood vessel damage for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. It found that people who had BS had fewer complications such as kidney disease or nerve damage.

This study looked at the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) which has not responded to medical treatment with vitrectomy and dexamethasone (Ozurdex) implant. This study showed that this treatment improved the vision of patients with DME.

This study compared the use of steroid eye injections with other treatments for diabetic macular edema (DME). They found that steroid injections may improve vision slightly compared to placebo, but are possibly less effective than other types of injection. Steroid injections also increase the risk of cataracts and increased pressure in the eye.

This review looked at the effect of a fiber-rich diet on the microbiome for patients with diabetes. It found that high-fiber diets led to more healthy bacteria in the gut, and may improve glucose control.

This study looked at the treatment of severe diabetic macular edema (DME). It compared eyes treated with surgery to eyes treated with injections.  It showed that surgical treatment leads to a better resolution of DME compared to injections.

This study looked at the benefits and risks of gastric bypass surgery (GBS) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and obesity. They found that GBS was associated with reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and heart failure in these patients. However it was also associated with increased episodes of high blood sugar and abuse of alcohol and drugs.

This report gave an overview of oral medications to help in managing obesity. 

This study looked at whether low levels of vitamin D increased complications for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). It found that foot ulcers were more common for patients who had low vitamin D (LVD).

This study compared people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who had weight loss surgery to those who lost an equal amount of weight through diet. It found that both methods of weight loss led to improvements in blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and metabolism.
