Glycosmedia Weekly Diabetes News - 01/07/2022

Abbott is developing a new category of consumer biowearables called Lingo

Lingo is designed to track key signals in the body – such as glucose, ketones, and lactate – to help people better understand their general health and take action


How low is really low? Comparison of two C-peptide assays to establish residual C-peptide production in type 1 diabetes

The IRMA provided the lowest threshold for quantification of serum C-peptide. LoQ of commercially available assays should be established in-house before applying them in research studies and clinical trials in which low C-peptide levels have clinical or scientific relevance (Diabetic Medicine)


Bempedoic acid in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, and normoglycaemia

Bempedoic acid significantly lowered LDL-C across glycaemic strata and did not worsen glycaemic parameters nor increase incidence of new-onset diabetes vs placebo over a median follow-up of 1 year (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)


Efficacy and safety of high-dose GLP-1, GLP-1/GIP and GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonists in type 2 diabetes

The development of high-dose GLP-1 RAs and dual GLP-1/GIP-RA tirzepatide resulted in increasing numbers of people reaching HbA1c and bodyweight targets, with up to 62% attaining normoglycaemia with 15 mg tirzepatide. Whether this will also translate in better cardiovascular outcomes and will affect treatment guidelines remains to be studied (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)


Combined SGLT-2 and ACE inhibition upregulates the renin-angiotensin system in chronic kidney disease with type 2 diabetes: Results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory trial

A distinct RAS modulation by SGLT-2i occurs in diabetic kidney disease reflected by enhancement of the beneficial Angiotensin-(1–7) providing a molecular background for this renoprotective therapeutic approach (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)


The effectiveness of an intervention designed based on health action process approach on diet and medication adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial

Our intervention designed based on health action process approach led to improvements in diet and medication adherence, and HbA1c among the patients within one and six months (Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome)


Elevated liver enzymes and comorbidities in type 2 diabetes: A multicentre analysis of 51 645 patients from the Diabetes Prospective Follow-up (DPV) database

Elevated liver enzymes are common in patients with T2D and clearly correlate with a higher prevalence of clinically relevant comorbidities. Assessing liver enzymes should be standard clinical routine in T2D due to a possible predictive role for comorbidities and complications (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)


A novel diabetes typology: towards precision diabetology from pathogenesis to treatment

This review discusses evidence from recent studies addressing the complexity of diabetes by proposing novel subgroups (subtypes) of diabetes (Diabetologia)


Network meta-analysis on the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors versus finerenone on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease

Given the above limitations of this study, its findings may suggest that among patients with T2D and CKD SGLT2 inhibitors are more effective than finerenone in reducing renal and cardiovascular endpoints, especially renal and cardiac failure events(Frontiers in Pharmacology)
