The major benefits for patients with T2D in ADVANCE did not substantially differ across levels of baseline ASCVD risk and HbA1c (Diabetes Care)

Initial Glycemic Control and Care Among Younger Adults Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes
Adults with onset of type 2 diabetes at a younger age were less likely to achieve glycemic control at 1 year following diagnosis, suggesting the need for tailored care approaches to improve outcomes for this high-risk patient population (Diabetes Care)
Hypoglycemia during Short-Term Intensive Insulin Therapy and Its Association with Long-Term Glycemic Remission in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes
Mild hypoglycemic episodes during the continuing insulin dose reduction period indicate a long-term drug-free euglycemic remission in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. However, the insulin dosage should be reduced even more quickly in the future treatment to decrease the potential harms (Journal of Diabetes Research)
IWGDF Guidelines on the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease
The International working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has been producing evidence-based guidelines on the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease since 1999. In 2019, all IWGDF Guidelines have been updated, based on systematic reviews of the literature and formulation of recommendations by multidisciplinary experts from all over the world (International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) )
A Novel Dual-Hormone Insulin-and-Pramlintide Artificial Pancreas for Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
A novel rapid insulin-and-pramlintide artificial pancreas improves glucose control compared with a rapid insulin-alone artificial pancreas (Diabetes Care)
Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2020 Abridged for Primary Care Providers
The American Diabetes Association’s (ADA’s) Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes is updated and published annually in a supplement to the January issue of Diabetes Care
A qualitative study of clinician attitudes towards closed‐loop systems in mainstream diabetes care in England
Clinicians recognize the value of closed‐loop systems in terms of health benefits, but also identify a range of concerns for both users and healthcare staff, which could impact negatively on user access (Diabetic Medicine)
Effectiveness and Safety of Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL in Insulin‐Naïve Patients with Type 2 Diabetes after Failure of Oral Therapy in a Real World Setting
Starting a BOT regimen with Gla‐300 allowed about 60% of 721 German and Swiss patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes to achieve glycaemic control within 12 months in daily clinical practice. Glycaemic control was achieved without weight gain or increased risk of nocturnal or severe hypoglycaemia (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Long-term effects of intensive multifactorial therapy in individuals with screen-detected type 2 diabetes in primary care: 10-year follow-up of the ADDITION-Europe cluster-randomised trial
Sustained reductions in glycaemia and related cardiovascular risk factors over 10 years among people with screen-detected diabetes managed in primary care are achievable. The differences in prescribed treatment and cardiovascular risk factors in the 5 years following diagnosis were not maintained at 10 years, and the difference in cardiovascular events and mortality remained non-significant (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
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)
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)
Improving Type 2 Diabetes Management in General Practice Using a Second-Generation Basal Insulin Analogue Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL: A Practical Guide
The clinical application of the use of Gla-300 include advantages such as less intra- and interpatient variability in glucose control resulting in rather less hypoglycaemia, longer duration of action and greater flexibility in the timing of administration thus suiting a wide range of patient presentations (Diabetes Therapy)
De-Intensification Of Blood Glucose Lowering Medication In People Identified As Being Over-Treated: A Mixed Methods Study
Treatment had been de-intensified in more than half of the patients (56.3%). Insight in reasons for not de-intensifying elderly patients is important since treatment for them can be “person-centred care”. De-intensification is an iterative and time-intensive process (Patient Preference and Adherence)
Effect of diabetes duration on the relationship between glycaemic control and risk of death in older adults with type 2 diabetes
In elderly individuals with T2D, the effect of glycaemic control (measured by HbA1c) on all‐cause mortality depended on the duration of diabetes. Of particular clinical importance, we found that strict glycaemic control was associated with an increased risk of death among individuals with long (>5 years) diabetes duration (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Short term optimization of glycaemic control using insulin improves sympatho-vagal tone activities in patients with type 2 diabetes
The optimization of glycaemic control using a basal plus insulin regimen while inducing a significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin, significantly improves 24-hour ambulatory ECG derived sympathetic and parasympathetic activities. This suggests that tight glycaemic control using insulin may revert cardiac autonomic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Dual GIP–GLP1-Receptor Agonists In The Treatment Of Type 2 Diabetes: A Short Review On Emerging Data And Therapeutic Potential
Combined GIP- and GLP1R activators have the potential to become a treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy)
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Menopausal Hormone Therapy: An Update
Although in the past women with T2DM would be excluded from MHT, nowadays there is strong evidence to support an individualised approach after careful evaluation of their CVD risk (Diabetes Therapy)
Predicting Short‐term and Long‐term HbA1c Response after Insulin Initiation in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus using Machine Learning
Machine‐learning algorithm performed well in the prediction of an individual’s short‐term and long‐term HbA1c response using baseline clinical variables (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Commissioning Standard: Dental Care for People with Diabetes
This commissioning standard document supports commissioners in NHS England and NHS Improvement with the implementation of a standardised framework for the local commissioning of dental services for people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) and people with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (NDH)
