Management goal achievements of diabetes care in Iran: study profile and main findings of DiaCare survey. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2023; 22:355-366. [PMID: 37255823 PMCID: PMC10225398 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-022-01149-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Aim This paper presented the methodology and main findings of a population-based survey to determine diabetes care status among type 2 diabetic subjects in Iran. The current study assessed treatment goal achievements in type 2 diabetics, diabetes care service utilization, prevalence of diabetes complications, and psychological effects of diabetes in a representative sample of Iranian population in urban and rural areas. Materials and Methods This nationwide study was conducted between 2018 and 2020 as the observational survey entitled "Diabetes Care (DiaCare)". We studied a representative sample of participants with type 2 diabetes, aged 35-75 years, living in urban and rural areas in all thirty- one provinces of Iran. Data were collected by an interviewer in a form of a questionnaire that includes demographic and socioeconomic status, family and drug history, lifestyle, and self-reported psychological status according to a Patient's Health Questionnaire (PHQ). Management goal achievements, diabetes care service utilization, diabetes complications and psychological effects of diabetes were also assessed. Physical measurements were measured based on standard protocol. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), HbA1c, lipid profile, and also urine albumin to creatinine ratio were obtained from all participants of the study. Results Overall, 13,334 people with type 2 diabetes in 31 provinces of Iran completed the survey (response rate: 99.6%). In total 13,321 participants, 6683(50.17%) women and 6638(49.83%) men were included in our analysis. Thirteen recruited patients refused after the consenting process and did not respond. The mean age (SD) of total participants was 54.86 ± 9.44 years and 71.50% were from the urban areas. 13.66% of diabetic patients had achieved the triple target of management [controlled HbA1c, blood pressure, and Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (LDL-C)] in the whole country. While 28.74% of people had controlled HbA1c and 33.40% of them had controlled FBG. Diabetic subjects living in rural areas had less controlled HbA1c (23.93 vs. 29.48), controlled FBG (29.50 vs. 34.20) and controlled triple targets (10.45 vs. 14.32) than those living in urban areas. Diabetic neuropathy and diabetic foot were more common in women than men, while end-stage of renal disease (ESRD) was more common in men than women. Conclusions This population-based study provided representative information about diabetes care in Iran. The high prevalence of diabetes and low proportion of diabetes control in Iran implies that it is necessary to identify factors associated with poor treatment goal achievements. Besides, general improvements in management and care of diabetes are mandatory.

Kautzky-Willer A, Leutner M, Harreiter J. Sex differences in type 2 diabetes. Diabetologia 2023; 66:986-1002. [PMID: 36897358 PMCID: PMC10163139 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-023-05891-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 87] [Impact Index Per Article: 87.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing in both sexes, but men are usually diagnosed at a younger age and lower body fat mass than women. Worldwide, an estimated 17.7 million more men than women have diabetes mellitus. Women appear to bear a greater risk factor burden at the time of their type 2 diabetes diagnosis, especially obesity. Moreover, psychosocial stress might play a more prominent role in diabetes risk in women. Across their lifespan, women experience greater hormone fluctuations and body changes due to reproductive factors than men. Pregnancies can unmask pre-existing metabolic abnormalities, resulting in the diagnosis of gestational diabetes, which appears to be the most prominent risk factor for progression to type 2 diabetes in women. Additionally, menopause increases women's cardiometabolic risk profile. Due to the progressive rise in obesity, there is a global increase in women with pregestational type 2 diabetes, often with inadequate preconceptual care. There are differences between men and women regarding type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors with respect to comorbidities, the manifestation of complications and the initiation of and adherence to therapy. Women with type 2 diabetes show greater relative risk of CVD and mortality than men. Moreover, young women with type 2 diabetes are currently less likely than men to receive the treatment and CVD risk reduction recommended by guidelines. Current medical recommendations do not provide information on sex-specific or gender-sensitive prevention strategies and management. Thus, more research on sex differences, including the underlying mechanisms, is necessary to increase the evidence in the future. Nonetheless, intensified efforts to screen for glucose metabolism disorders and other cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the early establishment of prophylactic measures and aggressive risk management strategies, are still required for both men and women at increased risk of type 2 diabetes. In this narrative review we aim to summarise sex-specific clinical features and differences between women and men with type 2 diabetes into risk factors, screening, diagnosis, complications and treatment.

Abstract
Pharmacovigilance and pharmacoepidemiology studies regarding the sex difference in adverse drug reactions are numerous, and it is now a challenge to take them into account in order to increase drug safety. Here, we present an overview of this topic through data on epidemiology, mechanisms, and methods used for assessing sex differences in drug safety. Because the literature is extensive, we choose to expose a few examples of studies for cardiovascular drugs, anti-infectious, psychotropics, antidiabetics, anticancer drugs and some specific drugs to illustrate our purpose. Many studies show a higher risk in women for most of drugs involving in sex differences. However, physiological, methodological and subjective points have to be taken into account to interpret these results. Clinical trials must also enroll more women to better evaluate sex differences both in efficacy and pharmacovigilance. Nevertheless, when there is a pharmacological rationale underlying the observed association between sex and drug safety profile, it is now unavoidable to think about its consideration for a personalized prescription.

Effects of Dapagliflozin Adjunct to Insulin on Glycemic Variations in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized, Controlled, Open-Labeled Trial. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:6618257. [PMID: 34497852 PMCID: PMC8419509 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6618257] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
Background This study is aimed at investigating whether dapagliflozin adjunct to insulin therapy further improves glycemic control compared to insulin therapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods This single-centre, randomized, controlled, open-labeled trial recruited newly diagnosed T2D patients. Subjects were randomized 1 : 1 to the dapagliflozin add-on to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) group (DAPA) or the CSII therapy group for 5 weeks. Standard meal tests were performed 3 times at days -3, 7, and 35 for glucose, C-peptide, and insulin level determination. Two-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed at baseline and at the end of the study. The primary endpoint was the difference in the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGEs) between the groups. Results A total of 66 subjects completed the study, with 34 and 32 patients in the DAPA and CSII groups, respectively. Patients in the DAPA group exhibited significant decreases in MAGE levels at the endpoint. We also observed that patients in the DAPA group had a lower homoeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and a higher homoeostasis model assessment B (HOMA-B) value at 1 week and 5 weeks compared to those with insulin therapy, respectively. In addition, our data showed that patients in the DAPA group showed a significantly lower insulin dose (0.07 U/kg) and weighed less than those in the CSII group. Conclusion Our data indicate that dapagliflozin adjunct to insulin is a safe and effective therapy for improving glycemic variations, insulin sensitivity, and weight loss in newly diagnosed T2D patients.

Abstract
Numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated the glycemic benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes. Although RCTs remain the gold standard clinical study design, findings from these trials do not necessarily reflect the effectiveness of CGM or reveal the feasibility and wider applications for use in broader real-life settings. This review evaluates recent real-world evidence (RWE) demonstrating the value of CGM to improve clinical outcomes, such as avoidance of severe hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic crises, and improved measures of psychological health and quality of life. Additionally, this review considers recent RWE for the role of CGM to enhance health care resource utilization, including prediction of T1D and applications in gestational diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and monitoring during surgery.

Abstract
Many pieces of evidence have accumulated over time suggesting sex-and-gender differences in type 2 diabetes, the most relevant being the greater excess risk of cardiovascular diseases in women with diabetes than in men. Drugs available for the treatment of diabetes have, meanwhile, increased in number and effectiveness over the last 20 years. Nonetheless, overall metabolic control of diabetes continues to be suboptimal, with a clear further disadvantage for women. Moreover, old and new glucose-lowering drugs present some sex-and-gender differences, although women continue to be underrepresented in all cardiovascular outcome trials testing their efficacy and protective effects. We conclude that pharmacology should wear gender glasses starting from preclinical research to overcome all these gender gaps.

Abstract
Time in range (TIR) is an index of glycemic control obtained from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The aim was to compare the glycemic variability of treatment with sulfonylureas (SUs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with well-controlled glucose level (TIR > 70%). The study subjects were 123 patients selected T2DM who underwent CGM more than 24 h on admission without changing treatment. The primary endpoint was the difference in glycemic variability, while the secondary endpoint was the difference in time below range < 54 mg/dL; TBR < 54, between the SU (n = 63) and non-SU (n = 60) groups. The standard deviation, percentage coefficient of variation (%CV), and maximum glucose level were higher in the SU group than in the non-SU group, and TBR < 54 was longer in the high-dose SU patients. SU treatment was identified as a significant factor that affected %CV (β: 2.678, p = 0.034). High-dose SU use contributed to prolonged TBR < 54 (β: 0.487, p = 0.028). Our study identified enlarged glycemic variability in sulfonylurea-treated well-controlled T2DM patients and high-dose SU use was associated with TBR < 54. The results highlight the need for careful adjustment of the SU dose, irrespective of glycated hemoglobin level or TIR value.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe whether there are sexual-related differences in response to mid- or low-premixed insulin in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS This was an analysis of CGM data of a previous study. After screening, patients with longstanding T2D receive a 7-day continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy, and then subjects were randomly assigned 1 : 1 into two groups receiving Novo Mix 30 or Humalog Mix 50 regimen for a 2-day phage, followed by a 4-day cross-over period. A 4-day continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was performed during the cross-over period. The primary endpoint was the differences in glycemic control between male and female patients receiving mid- or low-premixed insulin therapy. RESULTS A total of 102 patients (52 men and 50 women) completed the study. Our data showed that male patients had significant decrease in mean glucose levels monitored by CGM after three meals during Humalog Mix 50 treatment period compared to those received Novo Mix 30 regimen (0900: 11.0 ± 2.5 vs. 12.2 ± 2.8, 1000: 9.9 ± 2.9 vs. 11.3 ± 3.1, 1200: 8.0 ± 1.9 vs. 9.1 ± 2.5, 1400: 9.2 ± 2.3 vs. 10.3 ± 2.5, and 2000: 7.3 ± 2.1 vs. 8.2 ± 2.4 mmol/L, p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, male patients receiving Novo Mix 30 experienced a significantly increased hypoglycemic duration compared to those of receiving Humalog Mix 50 (0 (0, 4.8) vs. 0 (0, 0), p < 0.05, respectively). In addition, male patients receiving Novo Mix 30 experienced a significantly increased hypoglycemic duration compared to those of receiving Humalog Mix 50 (0 (0, 4.8) vs. 0 (0, 0). CONCLUSION Our data indicate that male patients with T2D receiving mid-premixed insulin analogue regimen may have a potential benefit of improvement in glycemic control compared to female patients. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov ChiCTR-IPR-15007340.
