Obesity Not a Red Flag for Spotting Diabetes
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Obese people with diabetes
are just as likely to go undiagnosed as their slimmer
peers with the disease, Harvard Medical School researchers
report.
It’s well recognized that obesity increases the likelihood
of developing diabetes, yet “obesity does not increase
the likelihood that an individual’s diabetes will be
diagnosed,” Dr. Christina C. Wee and her colleagues from
Harvard and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston
report.
There is no consensus on who should be screened for
diabetes, Wee and her team note in their report in the
medical journal Diabetes Care. Early diagnosis of diabetes
is particularly important for obese people, they add,
because research shows they are less likely to be offered
the preventive care that can help stave off serious
complications of the disease.
To investigate the impact of a person’s body mass index
(BMI) on their odds of having undiagnosed diabetes, the
researchers looked at 5,514 people participating in the
1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey.
Almost 10 percent of the study participants had diabetes,
and 28 percent of them had not been diagnosed with the
disease. A person’s BMI made no difference from a
statistical standpoint in whether or not they went
undiagnosed; 22 percent of normal weight people with
diabetes were undiagnosed, 32 percent of overweight
people were, and about 33 percent of obese people were.
Further research is needed to understand whether including
overweight and obesity in diabetes screening initiatives
may be beneficial for public health, Wee and her colleagues
add. Meanwhile, they add, “Clinicians and policy makers
may want to consider the underlying risk of diabetes
associated with body weight in making decisions concerning
whom should be screened for diabetes.”

Lipitor Aids Diabetics with Kidney Disease
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – People with diabetes, coronary
heart disease, and chronic kidney disease benefit from
having their cholesterol levels lowered aggressively with
high doses of Lipitor, according to a Mayo Clinic report.
“Patients with both diabetes and chronic kidney disease are
at much greater risk of major cardiovascular events and
death than those with either condition alone,” Dr. James
Shepherd, of the University of Glasgow, UK, and colleagues
explain in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings journal.
Shepherd’s team examined the effect of intensive
cholesterol lowering with high-dose versus low-dose
Lipitor (also known as atorvastatin) in patients with
coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes, with or
without chronic kidney disease.
Among the patients with kidney disease, a heart-related
event occurred in 14 percent of those given high-dose
atorvastatin and in 21 percent on low-dose atorvastatin
during almost 5 years of follow-up.
This difference was “substantial,” the team notes. They
calculate that one major cardiovascular event was prevented
for every 14 patients who were treated with high-dose
rather than low-dose Lipitor.
In patients without kidney disease, there was no
significant difference in event rates with high versus
low doses of atorvastatin (13 percent versus 14 percent)
the investigators report.
Both doses of atorvastatin were well tolerated.
The researchers recommend that intensive cholesterol-
lowering should be started for these patients early in
the course of chronic kidney disease.
