In participants with overweight or obesity, 2.4 mg of semaglutide once weekly plus lifestyle intervention was associated with sustained, clinically relevant reduction in body weight (NEJM)
SGLT2i improved day‐to‐day glucose variability and time in the target glucose range, without increasing frequency of hypoglycemia, in patients with type 1 diabetes, and reduced glycated hemoglobin, body mass and the required insulin dose (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
The degree of blood pressure reduction after SGLT2 inhibitor treatment influenced renal composite outcomes in Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with CKD, confirming the importance of blood pressure management in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with CKD, even when they are under SGLT2 inhibitor treatment (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
The decline in vascular death rates has been accompanied by a diversification of causes in individuals with diagnosed diabetes and a transition from vascular diseases to cancers as the leading contributor to diabetes-related death. Clinical and preventative approaches must reflect this trend to reduce the excess mortality risk in individuals with diabetes (Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Our results suggest that an intensive glycaemic control strategy to reduce HbA1c to 6.5% provided broadly similar benefits and harms and may be recommended for older, as well as younger, patients (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
