Our study suggests that pre-admission use of GLP-1RA may offer beneficial effects on Covid-19 mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, more randomized clinical trials are required to confirm this conclusion (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Advances in GLP-1 treatment: focus on oral semaglutide
Oral semaglutide effectively reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and body weight in a broad spectrum of patients with T2D and shows cardiovascular safety (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
GLP-1 receptor agonists and cardiorenal outcomes in type 2 diabetes: an updated meta-analysis of eight CVOTs
GLP-1RA have moderate benefits on MACE, and also reduce hospitalization for heart failure and all-cause mortality; they also have robust benefits on reducing the incidence of macroalbuminuria (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Intensive versus standard blood pressure control in type 2 diabetes: a restricted mean survival time analysis of a randomised controlled trial
Intensive BP treatment may reduce death and cardiovascular events among patients with type 2 diabetes receiving standard glycaemic treatment and without cognitive impairment (BMJOpen)
Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes using novel antidiabetic medicines as add-on therapy: an observational real-world study
SGLT2i and GLP-1RA improved CV morbidity and mortality in patients with T2D when compared with DPP-4i as an add-on therapy (BMJ Open)
Gastrointestinal Tolerability of Once-Weekly Dulaglutide 3.0 mg and 4.5 mg: A Post Hoc Analysis of the Incidence and Prevalence of Nausea, Vomiting, and Diarrhea in AWARD-11
The tolerability profiles of dulaglutide 3.0 mg and 4.5 mg were consistent with that of the 1.5-mg dose. Patients experiencing GI events were most likely to do so within 2 weeks of treatment initiation, and few patients experienced a new GI event after escalating to the 3.0-mg or 4.5-mg dose. Severe events were infrequent, and when they did occur, no relationship with dose at time of event was observed (Diabetes Therapy)
Effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors on liver parameters and steatosis: A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors improves liver structure and function in patients with T2D. This meta-analysis suggests that SGLT2 inhibitors are a promising pharmacological approach for treatment of NAFLD (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Renal hemodynamic effects differ between antidiabetic combination strategies: randomized controlled clinical trial comparing empagliflozin/linagliptin with metformin/insulin glargine
In patients with type 2 diabetes and preserved renal function treatment with M+I resulted in reduction of renal perfusion and increase in vascular resistance, in contrast to treatment with E+I that preserved renal perfusion and reduced vascular resistance (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Type 2 diabetes in adults: management – SGLT2 inhibitors for chronic kidney disease (update)
You can now review and comment on this draft guideline (NICE)
Effects of Empagliflozin on Insulin Initiation or Intensification in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: Findings from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME® Trial
In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, empagliflozin markedly and durably delays insulin initiation and substantial increases in insulin dose while facilitating sustained reductions in insulin requirements over time (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Prescribing of SGLT2 inhibitors in primary care: a qualitative study of General Practitioners and Endocrinologists
Despite the evidence for the cardio-renal benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors, there are barriers to GPs prescribing these agents. Case-based discussions between GPs and Endocrinologists about type 2 diabetes treatment including the role of SGLT2 inhibitors could overcome some of these barriers (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Efficacy and Safety of Liraglutide in Type 1 Diabetes by Baseline Characteristics in the ADJUNCT ONE and ADJUNCT TWO Randomized Clinical Trials
In ADJUNCT ONE and TWO, the efficacy and glycemic safety of liraglutide did not depend on subgroups, leaving residual beta-cell function the only identified parameter impacting the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in T1D (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Effects of Empagliflozin on Insulin Initiation or Intensification in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: Findings from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME® Trial
In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, empagliflozin markedly and durably delays insulin initiation and substantial increases in insulin dose while facilitating sustained reductions in insulin requirements over time (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Empagliflozin in Heart Failure with a Preserved Ejection Fraction
Empagliflozin reduced the combined risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure in patients with heart failure and a preserved ejection fraction, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes (NEJM)
Major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in patients with diabetes treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists vs DPP-4 inhibitors
In individuals with diabetes, the use of GLP1RAs was associated with significantly lower risks of major adverse limb events when compared with the use of DPP4is … Moreover, treatment with GLP1RAs was also associated with lower risks of cardiovascular death, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction and death from any cause (Diabetologia)
Effects of canagliflozin on serum potassium in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease: the CREDENCE trial
Among patients treated with renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibition with canagliflozin may reduce the risk of hyperkalaemia in people with T2DM and CKD without increasing the risk of hypokalaemia (European Heart Journal)
Cardiovascular, mortality, and kidney outcomes with GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials
GLP-1 receptor agonists, regardless of structural homology, reduced the risk of individual MACE components, all-cause mortality, hospital admission for heart failure, and worsening kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Cardiorenal outcomes with sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes and low kidney risk: real world evidence
Our findings in the general population of patients with T2D demonstrates lower risk of cardiorenal outcomes associated with initiation of SGLT2i compared with oGLAs, including specifically in patients with low baseline kidney-risk (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Heal Thyself: SGLT2 Inhibition Limits Regenerative Cell Exhaustion and Heals Damaged Vessels
Collectively, the study of Albiero et al. establishes novel mechanisms that clarify the critical role of BM-derived cellular subsets to directly enhance endothelial healing during diabetes (Diabetes)
