Glycosmedia Weekly Diabetes News - 11/04/2022

Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adolescents with Obesity

Among adolescents with obesity, once-weekly treatment with a 2.4-mg dose of semaglutide plus lifestyle intervention resulted in a greater reduction in BMI than lifestyle intervention alone (NEJM)


Diabetes Complications and Related Comorbidities Impair the Accuracy of FreeStyle Libre, a Flash Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

FCGM commonly underestimates blood glucose levels. Compared with PEG, SEG analysis seems more conducive to the analysis of FCGM performance. The present data highlights the impairment of diabetes complications and related comorbidities on the FCGM accuracy in T2D patients (Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)


Long-term Outcomes Among Young Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Based on Durability of Glycemic Control: Results From the TODAY Cohort Study

Higher baseline HbA1c concentration and FG variability during year 1 accurately predicted youth with T2D who will experience metabolic decompensation and comorbidities. These values may be useful tools for clinicians when considering early intensification of therapy (Diabetes Care)


Novel antihyperglycaemic drugs and prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations among patients with type 2 diabetes: population based cohort study

In this population based study, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors were associated with a reduced risk of severe exacerbations compared with sulfonylureas in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and type 2 diabetes. DPP-4 inhibitors were not clearly associated with a decreased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations (BMJ)


Predictors of acarbose therapeutic efficacy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in China

Acarbose may be more effective in newly diagnosed T2DM patients with low FPG, low 2 h PG and obesity. The earlier T2DM is diagnosed and continuously treated with acarbose, the better the response to therapy (BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology)


LY3437943, a novel triple GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor agonist in people with type 2 diabetes: a phase 1b, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised, multiple-ascending dose trial

In this early phase study, LY3437943 showed an acceptable safety profile, and its pharmacokinetics suggest suitability for once-weekly dosing. This finding, together with the pharmacodynamic findings of robust reductions in glucose and bodyweight, provides support for phase 2 development (The Lancet)


Clinical and Safety Outcomes with GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 1 Diabetes: A Real-World Study

GLP-1RA and SGLT2i use in T1DM is associated with clinically relevant benefits. DKA remains a clinical concern with SGLT2i use, requiring careful patient selection and monitoring, with the risk to benefit ratio of treatment evaluated at an individual level (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)


Suramin prevents the development of diabetic kidney disease by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation in KK-Ay mice

These results suggest that the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated in a diabetic kidney and that inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome with suramin protects against the progression of early stage DKD (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)


Long-term cardiovascular outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus: a prospective UK Biobank study

GDM was associated with more diverse cardiovascular outcomes than previously considered, and conventional risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia partially contributed to this relationship (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
