Glycosmedia Weekly Diabetes News - 04/30/2021

Importance of Early Screening and Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Medications shown to slow progression of CKD include renin–angiotensin system inhibitors, sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and, more recently, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (Diabetes Therapy)


Association of Insulin Glargine Treatment with Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

These results suggest that insulin glargine may affect bone metabolism in patients diagnosed with T2DM. The study has implications for the selection of hypoglycemic agents for diabetic patients at risk of osteoporosis (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)


From glucose lowering agents to disease/diabetes modifying drugs: a “SIMPLE” approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Early combination therapy with two and sometimes three of the DMDs (SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA) and metformin, and lower HbA1c targets (< 6.5%), may halt and even regress the pathological basis of diabetes and improve patient’s prognosis (Cardiovascular Diabetology)


Significant abnormal glycemic variability increased the risk for arrhythmias in elderly type 2 diabetic patients

The study demonstrated the elderly patients had greater glycemic variability and were more prone to arrhythmias. Therefore, active control of blood glucose fluctuation in elderly patients will help to reduce the risk of severe arrhythmia (BMC Endocrine Disorders)


Association of Glycated Albumin/Glycosylated Hemoglobin Ratio with Blood Glucose Fluctuation and Long-Term Blood Glucose Control in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The GA/HbA1c ratio is closely related to the MAGE and islet function in patients with T2DM (Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)


Association of genetic variants for plasma LRG1 with rapid decline in kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes

We demonstrate that genetically influenced plasma LRG1 increases the risk of RDKF in T2D patients suggesting plasma LRG1 as a potential treatment target. However, further studies are warranted to elucidate underlying pathways to provide insight into DKD prevention (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)
