This Scandinavian cohort study analyzed the potential link between GLP1 receptor agonists, used in type 2 diabetes treatment, and thyroid cancer risk. Data from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden showed no increased risk, offering reassurance for patients using these medications.
This study assesses whether combining glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2 inhibitors) reduces cardiovascular and renal events compared to using either drug alone in type 2 diabetes patients. The combination was associated with significantly lower risks of major cardiovascular events and serious renal outcomes, highlighting its clinical benefits.
This study compares the effectiveness of second-line oral antidiabetic treatments in people with type 2 diabetes. SGLT-2 inhibitors were found to reduce HbA1c, BMI, and systolic blood pressure more effectively than sulfonylureas or DPP-4 inhibitors, while also lowering the risk of hospital admissions for heart failure and progression of kidney disease.
The study highlights the increasing global burden of Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) among adults aged 65 and older, from 1990 to 2019. While prevalence rose by 28%, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) declined, indicating improved care. T1DM control remains a challenge, especially in low socioeconomic regions.
This population-based cohort study investigates the relationship between the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and DPP-4 inhibitors and the risk of hyperkalemia among patients with type 2 diabetes. Findings suggest that SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists are associated with a lower risk of hyperkalemia compared to DPP-4 inhibitors.
The study compares dementia risk in adults aged 40-69 with type 2 diabetes, following the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The findings suggest that SGLT-2 inhibitors may offer neuroprotective benefits in preventing dementia when compared to DPP-4 inhibitors.
This study investigates the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes. By analyzing a nationwide population-based cohort, the research underscores the importance of considering NAFLD in the management of patients with diabetes to reduce related health risks.
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the comparative effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) for glycemic control, weight management, and lipid profiles in adults with type 2 diabetes. The study provides insights into the efficacy and safety of different GLP-1RA formulations, helping clinicians make informed treatment choices.
