Occurence of First and Recurrent Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events With Liraglutide Treatment Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and High Risk of Cardiovascular Events
These results suggest that liraglutide treatment is associated with reduced total MACE compared with placebo among patients with type 2 diabetes and high risk of cardiovascular events. This analysis supports the findings of an absolute benefit of liraglutide treatment with respect to the overall burden of cardiovascular events in this high-risk patient population (JAMA Cardiology)
Sleep and HbA1c in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Which Sleep Characteristics Matter Most?
Sleep in general may be a modifiable factor of importance for patients with T2D. The prevention of sleep curtailment may serve as a primary focus in the sleep-centered management of T2D (Diabetes Care)
Disparities in glycaemic control, monitoring, and treatment of type 2 diabetes in England: A retrospective cohort analysis
Our findings suggest that disparity in glycaemic control, diabetes-related monitoring, and prescription of newer therapies remains a challenge in diabetes care. Both SES and ethnicity were important determinants of inequality. Disparities in glycaemic control and other areas of care may lead to higher rates of complications and adverse outcomes for some groups (PLOS Medicine)
Glycemic efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist on top of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor treatment compared to sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor alone: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This meta-analysis suggests that a GLP-1RA/SGLT-2i combination, if tolerated, exerts significant beneficial effects on glycemic control and body weight loss, however increasing the risk for any hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal adverse event (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
IDF Diabetes Atlas: A review of studies utilising retinal photography on the global prevalence of diabetes related retinopathy between 2015 and 2018
This study illustrated difficulties in deriving a meaningful global prevalence rate for DR and DME due to the lack of uniformity in defining the study populations, methodological differences, retinal image capture and grading criteria. Therefore, international consensus is required using a minimal data set for future studies (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Early Outcomes From the English National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Program
Reductions in weight and HbA1c compare favorably with those reported in recent meta-analyses of pragmatic studies and suggest likely future reductions in participant type 2 diabetes incidence (Diabetes Care)
Factors Mediating Type 2 Diabetes Remission and Relapse after Gastric Bypass Surgery
This longitudinal retrospective analysis shows that preoperative insulin use and age, one-year weight loss, and regain after that influence T2D remission and relapse following RYGB. Referring patients at a younger age, before insulin is needed, and optimizing both weight loss and weight maintenance after RYGB may improve the rates and durability of T2D remission (Journal of the American College of Surgeons)
The increased risk of microvascular complications in South Asians with type 1 diabetes is influenced by migration: results from the UK–India multi‐ethnic migration study
In this hypothesis‐generating study, we report that South Asian ethnicity is associated with greater risk of diabetic kidney disease and retinopathy, and lower risk of neuropathy than white European ethnicity (Diabetic Medicine)
Appropriateness of action prompts for hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes self‐management apps
Less than one‐fifth of apps provided evidence‐based steps to guide patients through hypo‐ and hyperglycaemia. The majority of apps failed to provide just‐in‐time diabetes self‐management education to prevent frequent or severe episodes of hypo‐ and hyperglycaemia (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Switching Patients with Type 1 Diabetes to Insulin Degludec from Other Basal Insulins: Real-World Data of Effectiveness and Safety
Switching patients with type 1 diabetes to IDeg from other basal insulins was associated with relevant improvements in metabolic control and glycemic variability without weight gain; the risk of hypoglycemic episodes also significantly declined (Diabetes Therapy)
Hypoglycemic Confidence in the Partners of Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
HC is an important facet of the experiences of T1D partners. It is related to, yet distinct from, hypoglycemic fear. The Partner-HCS is a reliable, valid method for assessing HC in partners of T1D adults (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Prescribing for Diabetes in England 2008/09 – 2018/19
This publication reports on trends in the prescribing of medicines for the treatment and monitoring of diabetes in England from 2008/09 to 2018/19 (NHS Digital)
Benefits and harms of intensive glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
Delivering evidence based, patient centered care to people with type 2 diabetes requires a paradigm shift and departure from the predominantly glucocentric view of diabetes management. Instead of prioritizing intensive glycemic control, the focus needs to be on ensuring access to adequate diabetes care (BMJ)
Cardiovascular risk and the implications for clinical practice of cardiovascular outcome trials in type 2 diabetes
To date, all CVOTs have shown non-inferiority versus placebo (both added to standard of care) against a primary endpoint of 3- or 4-point major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), confirming CV safety of these treatments. Additionally, some CVOTs have shown superiority to placebo against the same MACE endpoint, suggesting a cardioprotective action for these treatments. This is reflected in guideline updates, which primary care physicians should consider when personalizing treatments (Primary Care Diabetes)
Relation between Blood Pressure Management and Renal Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Diabetic Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Our results confirmed that blood pressure management status after treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors influences the extent of change in urinary albumin-creatinine ratio. Stricter blood pressure management is needed to allow the renoprotective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Variation in the achievement of HbA1c, blood pressure and LDL cholesterol targets in type 2 diabetes in general practice and characteristics associated with risk factor control
Clinical diabetes management is difficult, and few people meet all three risk factor control targets. The proportion of people reaching target varied among general practitioners and practices. Several population, general practitioner and practice characteristics only explained a small part of the total variation (Diabetic Medicine)
Six-Month Randomized, Multicenter Trial of Closed-Loop Control in Type 1 Diabetes
In this 6-month trial involving patients with type 1 diabetes, the use of a closed-loop system was associated with a greater percentage of time spent in a target glycemic range than the use of a sensor-augmented insulin pump. (NEJM)
Vertebral Fractures in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: More Than Skeletal Complications Alone
Based on our findings, individuals with T2D should be systematically assessed for presence of VFs, and, as in individuals without T2D, their presence constitutes an indication to start osteoporosis treatment for the prevention of future fractures (Diabetes Care)
