Dulaglutide: A new horizon for T2D treatment in kids
A once-weekly subcutaneous dose of the GLP-1* receptor agonist dulaglutide successfully controlled glycaemic levels in youths with type 2 diabetes (T2D) being treated with lifestyle modification with or without metformin or insulin, results of the multinational, phase III AWARD-PEDS** study showed.

LDL-C properly managed in older T2DM patients
Regardless of the use of medication, levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) appear to be appropriately managed in older type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, contributing to the prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD), a recent study has found.

Concomitant insulin may counter renoprotective effects of SGLT2is in T2D patients with CKD
Renal composite outcomes (RCO) appear to be less favourable among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated with insulin and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), a recent Japan study has found.

Is SGLT-2 inhibitor better than metformin as first-line T2D treatment?
Use of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) as first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) delivers a comparable risk for myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and mortality; a lower risk for hospitalization for heart failure (HHF)/mortality and HHF; and a similar safety profile, except for a higher risk for genital infections, when compared to treatment with metformin, a study has found.

‘Digital Twin’ tech reverses type 2 diabetes, fixes metabolic disruptions
A novel artificial intelligence platform that integrates multidimensional data to deliver precision nutrition and health recommendations not only helps to induce remission in type 2 diabetes but also to normalize a range of glycaemic and extraglycaemic parameters, as shown in a study presented at the 82nd American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions.
