Glycosmedia Weekly Diabetes News - 10/15/2021

Empagliflozin Treatment is Associated With Improvements in Cardiac Energetics and Function and Reductions in Myocardial Cellular Volume in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Empagliflozin thus ameliorates the ‘cardiac energy-deficient’ state, regresses adverse myocardial cellular remodelling, and improves cardiac function, offering therapeutic opportunities to prevent or modulate heart failure in T2D (Diabetes)


GLP-1 receptor agonists vs. SGLT-2 inhibitors: the gap seems to be leveling off

Overall, the results of CVOTs published so far seems to suggest that the gap between the cardiorenal benefits of SGLT-2 and GLP-1RA is narrowing (Cardiovascular Diabetology)


Low glycaemic state increases risk of frailty and functional decline in older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus – evidence from a systematic review

Low glycaemia increases risk of frailty and functional decline in older people with type 2 diabetes. Management should minimise incidence of low glycaemia in these patients (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)


Estimated glucose disposal rate and risk of stroke and mortality in type 2 diabetes: a nationwide cohort study

A low eGDR (a measure of insulin resistance) is associated with an increased risk of stroke and death in individuals with T2D. The relative attributed risk was most important for hypertension (Cardiovascular Diabetology)


Glucose Regulation Beyond HbA1c in Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Insulin: Real-World Evidence From the DIALECT-2 Cohort

In this study, a high HbA1c did not reduce the occurrence of nocturnal hypoglycemia, and low HbA1c was not associated with the highest TIR. Optimal personalization of glycemic control requires the use of newer tools, including CGM-derived parameters (Diabetes Care)


Renoprotective effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors among type 2 diabetes patients with different baseline kidney function: a multi-center study

This study supports the renoprotective benefit of real-world SGLT-2i use irrespective of patient baseline kidney function (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
