| 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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
