The aim of this manuscript is to comprehensively summarize the current knowledge on the antihyperglycemic properties of HCQ and to critically evaluate the potential risks and benefits related to HCQ use in patients with diabetes, even in light of the current pandemic scenario (Journal of Diabetes) T2D patients initiating the SGLT2i dapagliflozin had a greater probability of attaining a composite endpoint of clinically relevant reductions in HbA1c, body weight and SBP, compared to similar patients initiating a DPP‐4i in the same period and healthcare setting (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews) These results support the HbA1c-lowering effectiveness of linagliptin across age, race, and renal function categories among a large real-world population of adults with T2DM (Diabetes Therapy) Initiating insulin therapy, is recommended at or near the end of each treatment algorithm (JAMA) The powerful antidiabetic actions of the CNS leptin-melanocortin system are capable of normalizing plasma glucose even in the absence of insulin and involve interactions of multiple neuronal populations and intracellular signaling pathways. Although the links between the CNS leptin-melanocortin system and its chronic effects on peripheral tissue glucose metabolism are still uncertain, they are independent of insulin action, activation of the autonomic nervous system, or the PTA axis (Current Diabetes Reports volume) The administration of dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors to specific groups of inpatients might be a safe and effective alternative to insulin (Diabetic Medicine) The purpose of this review is to summarize the literature evidence that faces the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying bone fragility in T2DM patients (Journal of Diabetes Research) In the GRADE cohort with <10 years of T2D and a mean HbA1c of 8.0%, diabetes complications were present in a substantial fraction of participants, more so than might otherwise have been expected (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice) At admission, combining procalcitonin and presence of fever may be of value to distinguish ketoacidosis patients with and without proven bacterial infection, admitted in intensive care unit (Annals of Intensive Care)
