Long-term freedom from insulin may be achieved with duodenal electroporation plus semaglutide
The combination of re-cellularization via electroporation therapy (ReCET) plus semaglutide appears to improve glucose control and metabolic health and eliminate the need for insulin therapy in most patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with the effects maintained up to 2 years, according to the follow-up data from the single-arm, dose-finding, first-in-human EMINENT trial.

Botanical compound boosts blood sugar control in prediabetes, early T2D
The novel plant-based polyphenol-rich compound, TOTUM-63, helps keep the lid on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and other measures of glucose dysregulation in people with prediabetes and early type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to the pivotal phase II/III REVERSE-IT study.

Lack of funds, staffing problem hinder program for kids with obesity
Several barriers on the system and organizational levels disrupt the continuous implementation of SmartMoves, an evidence-based intensive health behaviour and lifestyle treatment (IHBLT) program, for children with obesity, a study has shown.

Automated insulin pump system does not alter energy, nutrient intake in T1D patients
Use of the automated insulin delivery (AID) system delivers better glycaemic control in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, switching to the Minimed 780G insulin pump system does not lead to notable changes in energy and nutrient intake in this population, according to a study.

Empagliflozin plus GLP-1RA prevents hospitalization, death in adults with T2D
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who initiated treatment with empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), and a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) show reduced hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and all-cause mortality risks relative to those treated with empagliflozin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), reports a study presented at EASD 2024.
