Glucose-lowering Drugs and Hospitalization for Heart Failure: A Systematic Review and Additive-effects Network Meta-Analysis with over 500,000 Patient-Years

The risk of HHF is reduced by SGLT2i as monotherapy or in combination with DPP4i and increased by TZD as monotherapy or in combination. Glucose-lowering provides an additive effect of reducing HHF (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)


Efficacy of liraglutide added to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes, stratified by baseline characteristics: post-hoc analysis of LIRA-ADD2SGLT2i

For individuals with T2D and inadequate glycaemic control despite therapy with SGLT2is±metformin, liraglutide 1.8mg would provide an effective treatment intensification option, irrespective of HbA1c, BMI, diabetes duration, insulin resistance determined by HOMA-IR and SGLT2i use duration (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)


Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Had Improvement in Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Improvement in CGM metrics in youth with T1D during the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that diabetes management can be maintained in the face of sudden changes to daily living. Youth with public insurance deserve more attention in research and clinical practice (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)


Cardiovascular risk prediction in type 2 diabetes before and after widespread screening: a derivation and validation study

International treatment guidelines still consider most people with diabetes to be at high cardiovascular risk; however, we show that recent widespread diabetes screening has radically changed the cardiovascular risk profile of people with diabetes in New Zealand (The Lancet)


Trends in Diabetes Treatment and Control in U.S. Adults, 1999–2018

After more than a decade of progress from 1999 to the early 2010s, glycemic and blood-pressure control declined in adult NHANES participants with diabetes, while lipid control leveled off (NEJM)


GLP-1 receptor agonists for cardiovascular outcomes with and without metformin. A systematic review and meta-analysis of cardiovascular outcomes trials

Subgroup analyses suggested that treatment with GLP-1 RAs has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular outcomes irrespective of baseline use of metformin. However, given the exploratory nature of subgroup analyses, these findings should be treated as hypothesis-generating rather than conclusive evidence (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
