Glycosmedia Weekly Diabetes News - 01/15/2021

National Diabetes Audit, Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP), Quarterly Data Release, 1st January – 30th September 2020

The NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) is a joint commitment from NHS England, Public Health England (PHE) and Diabetes UK to deliver, at scale, evidence based behavioural interventions that can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes in adults who have been identified as having non-diabetic hyperglycaemia


Global Trials Summit

Please join us for a series of vibrant and thought-provoking presentations by leaders in these fields who will discuss the results of recent pivotal trials in these areas. Live online discussions focusing on implementation of novel efficacious therapies will challenge clinicians as to how to adapt their daily practice.


Sotagliflozin in Patients with Diabetes and Recent Worsening Heart Failure

In patients with diabetes and recent worsening heart failure, sotagliflozin therapy, initiated before or shortly after discharge, resulted in a significantly lower total number of deaths from cardiovascular causes and hospitalizations and urgent visits for heart failure than placebo (NEJM)


Sodium-glucose cotransporter protein-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists for type 2 diabetes: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

In patients with type 2 diabetes, SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists reduced cardiovascular and renal outcomes, with notable differences in benefits and harms (BMJ)


SGLT2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetic patients with renal function impairment slows the annual renal function decline, in a real clinical practice

SGLT2is administration slows the decline observed in the annual renal function in T2DM patients with eGFR of < 60 ml/min/1.73m2, in clinical practice (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)


Sodium–glucose transporter-2 inhibitors for prevention and treatment of cardiorenal complications of type 2 diabetes

This review summarizes work in the area of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) treatment and prevention of cardiorenal complications in patients with T2D (major adverse cardiovascular events, hospitalization for heart failure, kidney outcomes), with a particular emphasis on the effect of age, the role of primary versus secondary prevention and the possible extension of their cardiorenal benefits to the entire class of SGLT-2i (Cardiovascular Diabetology)


Real-world clinical outcomes following treatment intensification with GLP-1 RA, OADs or insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes on two oral agents (PATHWAY 2-OADs)

In propensity score-matched cohorts, GLP-1 RAs demonstrated significant benefits for both glycemic control and weight management over additional OAD(s) or insulin, respectively, indicating that they may represent the optimal choice at these points in the treatment pathway (BMJ Open, Diabetes Research & Care)


Impact of age at type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis on mortality and vascular complications: systematic review and meta-analyses

Younger, rather than older, age at diabetes diagnosis was associated with higher risk of mortality and vascular disease. Early and sustained interventions to delay type 2 diabetes onset and improve blood glucose levels and cardiovascular risk profiles of those already diagnosed are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality (Diabetologia)


The prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in prediabetes: a systematic review

There is a higher than expected prevalence of CAN in prediabetes. Early detection of CAN in prediabetes through population screening needs careful consideration in view of the excess morbidity and mortality risk associated with this condition (Diabetologia)


Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor‐induced reduction in the mean arterial pressure improved renal composite outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with chronic kidney disease

The degree of BP reduction after SGLT2 inhibitor treatment influenced renal composite outcomes in Japanese T2DM patients with CKD, confirming the importance of blood pressure management in T2DM patients with CKD, even when they are under SGLT2 inhibitor treatment (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
