Profiles of sulfonylurea use in Diabetes Mellitus type 2: an analysis of clinical practice over the last 10 years. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 214:111781. [PMID: 39002933 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2024.111781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Describing the evolution over time in the use of sulfonylureas (SUs) and the characteristics of patients at first prescription and at interruption of treatment with SUs. METHODS Retrospective evaluation of data from the Italian Association of Diabetologists (AMD) Annals registry (2010-2020), about T2D patients who started treatment with SUs. The longitudinal probability of remaining on SUs was estimated by Kaplan Meier survival curves. RESULTS SU prescription decreased from 30.7 % (2010) to 12.9 % (2020). Patients started on SU were 68.2 ± 11.2 years old, mostly males (55.5 %), with diabetes duration = 10.1 ± 8.3 years, BMI = 29.7 ± 5.5 kg/m2, and HbA1c = 8.3 ± 1.7 % [67 mmol/mol]. After one year, the probability of staying on SU was 85.4 %, 75.9 % after two years, 68.2 % after 3 years, 56.6 % after 5 years. Patients who discontinued SUs had higher BMI and HbA1c, were younger, more often males and treated with insulin. Over time, the percentage of subjects switched to metformin, DPP4i, SGLT2i, and GLP1RA increased, whereas use of glinides, glitazones, acarbose and insulin declined. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest a consensus, slowly, but increasingly aligning with the current National indications of dismissing SUs for the treatment of T2D. The new drugs for diabetes should represent a preferable choice in all patients who do not have specific contraindications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk of cardiovascular events associated with commonly used dual and triple therapies of evogliptin, a recently introduced dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i), for managing type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database. PARTICIPANTS Patients who initiated metformin-based dual therapy and metformin+sulfonylurea-based triple therapy in South Korea from 2014 to 2018. INTERVENTIONS Initiation of combination therapy with evogliptin. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Hazards of cardiovascular events, a composite endpoint of myocardial infarction, heart failure and cerebrovascular events, and its individual components. Cox proportional hazards model with propensity score-based inverse probability of treatment weighting were used to estimate HRs and 95% CIs. RESULTS From the dual and triple therapy cohorts, 5830 metformin+evogliptin users and 2198 metformin+sulfonylurea+evogliptin users were identified, respectively. Metformin+evogliptin users, as compared with metformin+non-DPP4i, had a 29% reduced risk of cardiovascular events (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.82); HRs for individual outcomes were cerebrovascular events (0.71, 95% CI 0.53 to 0.95), heart failure (0.70, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.82), myocardial infarction (0.89, 95% CI 0.60 to 1.31). Metformin+sulfonylurea+evogliptin users, compared with metformin+sulfonylurea+non-DPP4i, had a 24% reduced risk of cardiovascular events (0.76, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.97); HRs for individual outcomes were myocardial infarction (0.57, 95% CI 0.27 to 1.19), heart failure (0.74, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.01), cerebrovascular events (0.96, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.51). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that dual or triple therapies of evogliptin for the management of type 2 diabetes in routine clinical practice present no cardiovascular harms, but could alternatively offer cardiovascular benefits in this patient population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart transplantation is an important treatment for end-stage heart failure. Early post-transplant hyperglycemia (EPTH) and post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) are common following heart transplantation and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of EPTH and PTDM in cardiac transplant patients, incorporating findings from non-cardiac solid organ transplant studies where relevant due to limited heart-specific research. EXPERT OPINION EPTH following heart transplantation is common yet understudied and is associated with the later development of PTDM. PTDM is associated with adverse outcomes including infection, renal dysfunction, microvascular disease, and an increased risk of re-transplantation and mortality. Risk factors for EPTH include the post-operative immunosuppression regimen, recipient and donor age, body mass index, infections, and chronic inflammation. Early insulin treatment is recommended for EPTH, whereas PTDM management is varied and includes lifestyle modification, anti-glycemic agents, and insulin. Given the emerging evidence on the transplant benefits associated with effective glucose control, and the cardioprotective potential of newer anti-glycemic agents, further focus on the management of EPTH and PTDM within heart transplant recipients is imperative.

Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:102935. [PMID: 38163417 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2023.102935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in patients with compensated cirrhosis is challenging due to hypoglycemic risk, altered pharmacokinetics, and the lack of robust evidence on the risk/benefit ratio of various drugs. Suboptimal glycemic control accelerates the progression of cirrhosis, while the frequent coexistence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with T2D highlights the need for a multifactorial therapeutic approach. METHODS A literature search was performed in Medline, Google Scholar and Scopus databases till July 2023, using relevant keywords to extract studies regarding the management of T2D in patients with compensated cirrhosis. RESULTS Metformin, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are promising treatment options for patients with T2D and compensated liver cirrhosis, offering good glycemic control with minimal risk of hypoglycemia, while their pleiotropic actions confer benefits on NAFLD and body weight, and decrease cardiorenal risk. Sulfonylureas cause hypoglycemia, thus should be avoided, while in specific studies, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have been correlated with increased risk of decompensation and variceal bleeding. Despite the benefits of thiazolidinediones in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, concerns about edema and weight gain limit their use in compensated cirrhosis. Insulin does not exert hepatotoxic effects and can be administered safely in combination with other drugs; however, the risk of hypoglycemia should be considered. CONCLUSIONS The introduction of new hepatoprotective diabetes drugs into clinical practice, including tirzepatide, SGLT2i, and GLP-1 RA, sets the stage for future trials to investigate the ideal therapeutic regimen for people with T2D and compensated cirrhosis.

Regional expert opinion: Management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey. ESC Heart Fail 2023; 10:2773-2787. [PMID: 37530028 PMCID: PMC10567674 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Although epidemiological data on heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are scarce in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) region, Lancet Global Burden of Disease estimated the prevalence of HF in the MENAT region in 2019 to be 0.78%, versus 0.71% globally. There is also a high incidence of HFpEF risk factors and co-morbidities in the region, including coronary artery disease, diabetes, obesity, hypertension, anaemia and chronic kidney disease. For instance, 14.5-16.2% of adults in the region reportedly have diabetes, versus 7.0% in Europe. Together with increasing life expectancy, this may contribute towards a higher burden of HFpEF in the region than currently reported. This paper aims to describe the epidemiology and burden of HFpEF in the MENAT region, including unique risk factors and co-morbidities. It highlights challenges with diagnosing HFpEF, such as the prioritization of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), the specific profile of HFpEF patients in the region and barriers to effective management associated with the healthcare system. Guidance is given on the diagnosis, prevention and management of HFpEF, including the emerging role of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors. Given the high burden of HFpEF coupled with the fact that its prevalence is likely to be underestimated, healthcare professionals need to be alert to its signs and symptoms and to manage patients accordingly. Historically, HFpEF treatments have focused on managing co-morbidities and symptoms, but new agents are now available with proven effects on outcomes in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is one of the main public health care problems worldwide. It is associated with a marked increased risk of developing atherosclerotic vascular disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease and death. It is essential to act during the early phases of the disease, through the intensification of lifestyle changes and the prescription of those drugs that have been shown to reduce these complications, with the aim not only of achieving an adequate metabolic control, but also a comprehensive vascular risk control. In this consensus document, developed by the different specialists that treat these patients (endocrinologists, primary care physicians, internists, nephrologists and cardiologists), a more appropriate approach in the management of patients with T2DM or its complications is provided. A particular focus is given to the global control of cardiovascular risk factors, the inclusion of weight within the therapeutic objectives, the education of patients, the deprescription of those drugs without cardiovascular benefit, and the inclusion of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors as cardiovascular protective drugs, at the same level as statins, acetylsalicylic acid, or renin angiotensin system inhibitors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The process used to prefer certain products across drug classes for diabetes is generally focused on comparative effectiveness and cost. However, payers rarely tie patient preference for treatment attributes to formulary management resulting in a misalignment of value defined by providers, payers, and patients. OBJECTIVES: To explore patients' willingness to pay (WTP) for the predetermined high-value and low-value type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments within a health plan. METHODS: A cross-sectional discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey was used to determine patient preference for the benefit, risk, and cost attributes of T2DM treatments. A comprehensive literature review of patient preference studies in diabetes and a review of guidelines and medical literature identified study attributes. Patients and diabetes experts were interviewed and instructed to identify, prioritize, and comment on which attributes of diabetes treatments were most important to T2DM patients. The patients enrolled in a health plan were asked to respond to the survey. A multinomial logit model was developed to determine the relative importance and the patient's WTP of each attribute. The patients' relative values based on WTPs for T2DM treatments were calculated and compared with the treatments by a health plan. RESULTS: A total of 7 attributes were selected to develop a web-based DCE questionnaire survey. The responses from a total of 58 patients were analyzed. Almost half (48.3%) of the respondents took oral medications and injections for T2DM. The most prevalent side effects due to diabetes medications were gastrointestinal (43.1%), followed by weight gain (39.7%) and nausea (32.8%). Patients were willing to pay more for treatments with proven cardiovascular benefit and for the risk reduction of hospitalization from heart failure. On the other hand, they would pay less for treatments with higher gastrointestinal side effects. Patients were willing to pay the most for sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist agents and the least for dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and thiazolidinediones. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides information to better align patient, provider, and payer preferences in both benefit design and value-based formulary strategy for diabetes treatments. A preferred placement of treatments with cardiovascular benefits and lower adverse gastrointestinal side effects may lead to increased adherence to medications and improved clinical outcomes at a lower overall cost to both patients and their health plan. DISCLOSURES: This study was supported by a grant from the PhRMA Foundation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Stroke and cardiovascular diseases are major causes of death and disability, especially among diabetic patients. Some studies have shown that metformin has been effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of metformin on stroke in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from their inception till 1st July 2022. Randomized clinical trials (RCT) and cohort studies were included. Two independent researchers screened the records, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias and certainty of evidence. Findings were reported as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). All statistical analyses were performed using the STATA 17.0 software package. RESULTS Analysis of 21 included studies with 1,392,809 patients demonstrated that metformin monotherapy was effective in reducing stroke risk in both RCTs (RR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.50, 0.87 p = 0.004) and cohort studies (RR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.55, 0.81, p < 0.0001). However, combined administration of metformin with other antihyperglycemic agents had no significant effect on stroke risk reduction in either the RCTs (RR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.69, 1.22 p = 0.558) or the cohort studies (RR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.59, 1.06, p = 0.122). CONCLUSION Low to moderate level of evidence in RCTs showed that metformin monotherapy could reduce stroke risk in type 2 diabetic patients. However, the preventive effect of metformin in stroke was not observed in patients who received a combination of metformin plus other hypoglycemic agents.

[PMID: 36830610 PMCID: PMC9953659 DOI: 10.3390/biom13020241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally as well as the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. Results from large interventional studies have suggested hyperglycemia and poor glycemic control to be largely responsible for the development of CVDs. However, the association between hypoglycemia and cardiovascular events is also a key pathophysiological factor in the development of CVDs. Hypoglycemia is especially prevalent in T2D patients treated with oral sulfonylurea agents or exogenous insulin, increasing the susceptibility of this population to cardiovascular events. The adverse cardiovascular risk of hypoglycemia can persist even after the blood glucose levels have been normalized. Hypoglycemia may lead to vascular disease through mechanisms such as enhanced coagulation, oxidative stress, vascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and platelet activation. In the following review, we summarize the evidence for the role of hypoglycemia in platelet activation and the subsequent effects this may have on the development of CVD. In addition, we review current evidence for the effectiveness of therapies in reducing the risk of CVDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes often causes kidney disease. In this study, we sought to evaluate if metformin use was associated with death or kidney events in patients with diabetes and concurrent reduced kidney function. METHODS We used data from the Veterans Health Administration, Medicare and National Death Index databases to assemble a national retrospective cohort of veterans who were using metformin or sulfonylureas from 2001 through 2016 and who began follow-up at an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The primary composite outcome was a kidney event (i.e., 40% decline in eGFR or end-stage renal disease) or death. The secondary outcome was a kidney event (eGFR decline or end-stage renal disease). We weighted the cohort using propensity scores and used Cox proportional models to estimate the cause-specific hazard of outcomes and of treatment nonpersistence as a competing risk. We stratified follow-up into 2 periods, namely the first 360 days from the start of follow-up, and 361 days and beyond. RESULTS In the first 360 days, the propensity score-weighted cohort included 24 883 patients who used metformin and 24 998 who used sulfonylureas. There were 33.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] 30.9-36.3) and 43.0 (95% CI 40.1-46.0) deaths or kidney events per 1000 person-years for patients who used metformin or sulfonylureas, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.78, 95% CI 0.71-0.85). For the secondary outcome of kidney events, the HR was 0.94 (95% CI 0.67-1.33). In the second period from 361 days onward, the primary outcome event rate was 26.5 (95% CI 24.7-28.5) per 1000 person-years for those who used metformin, compared with 36.3 (95% CI 34.2-38.6) per 1000 person-years for those who used sulfonylureas (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.67-0.79). Results were consistent for kidney events alone (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.59-0.91). INTERPRETATION Metformin use for 361 days or longer after reaching an eGFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was associated with decreased likelihood of kidney events or death in patients with diabetes, compared with use of sulfonylureas. Metformin provided end-organ protection, in addition to glucose control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has suggested that individuals with Type 2 diabetes and initiated on metformin monotherapy present with a survival advantage compared with the general population without diabetes. This finding has generated considerable interest in the prophylactic use of metformin against age-related morbidity. METHODS Utilizing Danish National Health Registers, we assessed differences in survival associated with metformin monotherapy for Type 2 diabetes compared with no diagnosis of diabetes in both singleton and discordant twin populations between 1996 and 2012. Data were analysed in both nested case-control and matched cohort study designs, with incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and hazard ratios estimated using conditional logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression, respectively. RESULTS In case-control pairs matched on birth year and sex or co-twin (sex, birth year and familial factors), incident Type 2 diabetes with treatment by metformin monotherapy initiation compared with no diagnosis of diabetes was associated with increased mortality in both singletons (IRR = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.37, 1.68) and discordant twin pairs (IRR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.35, 2.67). After adjusting for co-morbidities and social indicators, these associations were attenuated to 1.32 (95% CI: 1.16, 1.50) and 1.64 (95% CI: 1.10, 2.46), respectively. Increased mortality was observed across all levels of cumulative use and invariant to a range of study designs and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS Treatment initiation by metformin monotherapy in Type 2 diabetes was not associated with survival equal or superior to that of the general population without diabetes. Our contrasting findings compared with previous research are unlikely to be the result of differences in epidemiological or methodological parameters.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is an autosomal dominant monogenic diabetes. We report a pair of father and son diagnosed as MODY13 with a new mutation c.685G>A:p.E229K in the inwardly rectifying subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) gene. CASE PRESENTATION A pair of father and son was examined after admission to the hospital and a whole exome test performed. Whole exome test showed that there was a mutation c.685G>A:p.E229K in the KCNJ11 gene encoding a potassium channel, KCNJ11. CONCLUSIONS The diagnosis of MODY13 requires genetic testing. After confirmation, medication and diet need to be adjusted to control blood glucose. The treatment plan was adjusted. After glimepiride was administered, symptoms of diabetes were effectively improved. According to our knowledge, this is the first reported mutation of c.685G>A:p.E229K in the KCNJ11 gene.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The field of inpatient diabetes has advanced significantly over the last 20 years, leading to the development of personalized treatment approaches. However, outdated guidelines still recommend the use of basal-bolus insulin therapy as the preferred treatment approach, and against the use of non-insulin anti-hyperglycemic agents. RECENT FINDINGS Several observational and prospective randomized controlled studies have demonstrated that oral anti-hyperglycemic agents are widely used in the hospital, including studies of DPP-4 agents and GLP-1 agonists. With advances in the field of inpatient diabetes management, a paradigm shift has occurred, from an approach of recommending "basal-bolus regimens" for all patients to a more precision medicine option for hospitalized non-critically ill patients with type 2 diabetes.

Glibenclamide alleviates β adrenergic receptor activation-induced cardiac inflammation. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:1243-1250.

Abstract
β-Adrenergic receptor (β-AR) overactivation is a major pathological factor associated with cardiac diseases and mediates cardiac inflammatory injury. Glibenclamide has shown anti-inflammatory effects in previous research. However, it is unclear whether and how glibenclamide can alleviate cardiac inflammatory injury induced by β-AR overactivation. In the present study, male C57BL/6J mice were treated with or without the β-AR agonist isoprenaline (ISO) with or without glibenclamide pretreatment. The results indicated that glibenclamide alleviated ISO-induced macrophage infiltration in the heart, as determined by Mac-3 staining. Consistent with this finding, glibenclamide also inhibited ISO-induced chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines expression in the heart. Moreover, glibenclamide inhibited ISO-induced cardiac fibrosis and dysfunction in mice. To reveal the protective mechanism of glibenclamide, the NLRP3 inflammasome was further analysed. ISO activated the NLRP3 inflammasome in both cardiomyocytes and mouse hearts, but this effect was alleviated by glibenclamide pretreatment. Furthermore, in cardiomyocytes, ISO increased the efflux of potassium and the generation of ROS, which are recognized as activators of the NLRP3 inflammasome. The ISO-induced increases in these processes were inhibited by glibenclamide pretreatment. Moreover, glibenclamide inhibited the cAMP/PKA signalling pathway, which is downstream of β-AR, by increasing phosphodiesterase activity in mouse hearts and cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, glibenclamide alleviates β-AR overactivation-induced cardiac inflammation by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. The underlying mechanism involves glibenclamide-mediated suppression of potassium efflux and ROS generation by inhibiting the cAMP/PKA pathway.

Abstract
AIMS To gain insights on the cardiovascular effects of metformin and sulphonylurea, the present study compares the rates of incident atrial fibrillation, stroke, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality between metformin and sulphonylurea users in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS This was a retrospective population-based cohort study of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients receiving either sulphonylurea or metformin monotherapy between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2019. The primary outcome was new-onset AF or stroke. Secondary outcomes were cardiovascular, non-cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Propensity score matching (1:2 ratio) between sulphonylurea and metformin users was performed, based on demographics, CHA-DS-VASc score, past comorbidities and medication use. Cox regression was used to identify significant risk factors. Competing risk analysis was conducted using cause-specific and subdistribution hazard models. Sensitivity analyses using propensity score stratification, high-dimensional propensity score and inverse probability of treatment weighting were conducted. Subgroup analyses were conducted for age and gender in the matched cohort. RESULTS A total of 36,228 sulphonylurea users and 72,456 metformin users were included in the propensity score-matched cohort. Multivariable Cox regression showed that sulphonylurea users had higher risks of incident AF (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.75-3.77; P < 0.0001), stroke (HR: 3.23, 95% CI: 3.01-3.45; P < 0.0001), cardiovascular mortality (HR: 3.60, 95% CI: 2.62-4.81; P < 0.0001) and all-cause mortality (HR: 4.35, 95% CI: 3.16-4.75; P < 0.0001) compared to metformin users. Similarly, significant results were observed using cause-specific and subdistribution hazard models. Sensitivity analysis using techniques based on the propensity score also yielded similar results. CONCLUSIONS Sulphonylurea use was associated with higher risks of incident AF, stroke, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality compared to metformin. Males and patients older than 65 years with sulphonylurea use were exposed to the highest risks.

Cardiovascular risk factors early in the course of treatment in people with type 2 diabetes without established cardiovascular disease: A population-based observational retrospective cohort study. Diabet Med 2022; 39:e14697. [PMID: 34558105 PMCID: PMC9293142 DOI: 10.1111/dme.14697] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To characterise the cardiovascular risk of people with type 2 diabetes without established cardiovascular disease but with risk factors, relative to those with established cardiovascular disease, to provide information on which patients could benefit from early use of glucose-lowering therapies that also reduce cardiovascular risk. METHODS Data from people with type 2 diabetes initiating second-line glucose-lowering medication were retrieved from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink GOLD database and linked with Hospital Episode Statistics and Office for National Statistics (2001-2016). Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate relative risks of major adverse cardiovascular events within groups defined by the presence of selected risk factors in people without versus with established cardiovascular disease. RESULTS Of 53,182 individuals, 19.4% had established cardiovascular disease (i.e. a prior cardiovascular event). Over 5-7 years' follow-up, the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events was 14.0 and 49.6 events/1000 person-years without and with established cardiovascular disease, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] 0.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26, 0.29). Compared with a reference HR 1.0 for participants with established cardiovascular disease, estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min was the single factor associated with the highest risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.70, 0.81) and mortality (HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.07, 1.18) in people with type 2 diabetes without established cardiovascular disease. The combination of chronic kidney disease with older age, smoking and/or dyslipidaemia was associated with a similarly high risk of cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes and without cardiovascular disease compared with those having established cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS These analyses provide important information to identify people who may benefit from primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors should be controlled early in all individuals with type 2 diabetes (as well as in all individuals with cardiovascular disease).

Abstract
Background: The effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs) is unknown among patients with dementia. Objective: To analyze all-cause mortality among users of six GLDs in dementia and dementia-free subjects, respectively. Methods: This was a longitudinal open-cohort registry-based study using data from the Swedish Dementia Registry, Total Population Register, and four supplemental registers providing data on dementia status, drug usage, confounders, and mortality. The cohort comprised 132,402 subjects with diabetes at baseline, of which 11,401 (8.6%) had dementia and 121,001 (91.4%) were dementia-free. Subsequently, comparable dementia – dementia-free pairs were sampled. Then, as-treated and intention-to-treat exposures to metformin, insulin, sulfonylurea, dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues (GLP-1a), and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) were analyzed in the parallel dementia and dementia-free cohorts. Confounding was addressed using inverse-probability weighting and propensity-score matching, and flexible parametric survival models were used to produce hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the association between GLDs and all-cause mortality. Results: In the as-treated models, increased mortality was observed among insulin users with dementia (HR 1.34 [95%CI 1.24–1.45]) as well as in dementia-free subjects (1.54 [1.10–1.55]). Conversely, sulfonylurea was associated with higher mortality only in dementia subjects (1.19 [1.01–1.42]). GLP-1a (0.44 [0.25–0.78]) and SGLT-2i users with dementia (0.43 [0.23–0.80]) experienced lower mortality compared to non-users. Conclusion: Insulin and sulfonylurea carried higher mortality risk among dementia patients, while GLP-1a and SGLT-2i were associated with lower risk. GLD-associated mortality varied between dementia and comparable dementia-free subjects. Further studies are needed to optimize GLD use in dementia patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiovascular disease secondary to diabetes continues to threaten the survivability of many people all over the world. We assess the most recent findings of synergistic effects of combined glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in lowering cardiac complications in the diabetic population. We describe drug therapies' mechanism of action, postulated cardioprotective process, the additive value of conjugated therapy, and analyze recently reported study and its limitation. RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1RAs have gained popularity due to their ability to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients. There is emerging evidence of the additional cardiovascular benefit from the combined application of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1RAs therapy demonstrated by a recent real-world cohort study. Reducing cardiac mortality in patients with diabetes by administering dual antihyperglycemic therapies (GLP-1Rs and SGLT2 inhibitors) might play a key role in the future treatment of the diabetic population.

Abstract
Evidence for cardiovascular outcomes with older-generation antihyperglycemic drugs in the management of type 2 diabetes is based on aggregated data from prior randomized controlled trials and observational studies that were not focused on prespecified cardiovascular end points. Newer antihyperglycemic medications have undergone a rigorous evaluation of cardiovascular outcomes through randomized controlled trials since the US Food and Drug Administration imposed a mandatory requirement for all glucose-lowering drugs in 2008. The three classes of drugs that have been most extensively studied are dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, the latter two reporting significant reductions in adverse cardiovascular outcomes independent of their glycemic effect. Remarkably, it was the evidence from SGLT2 inhibitors cardiovascular outcome trials that prompted further evaluation of the drug class in patients with heart failure irrespective of their diabetes status, demonstrating a broader cardiometabolic effect of these drugs. In this review, we assess the evidence for cardiovascular outcomes with common older- and newer-generation glucose-lowering drugs in the management of type 2 diabetes. We also discuss emerging glucose-lowering drugs with novel metabolic targets that influence the risk of adverse cardiovascular events and expand on the role of these drugs beyond the management of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are present in numerous organs, including the heart, brain, and pancreas. Physiological opening and closing of KATPs present in pancreatic β-cells, in response to changes in the ATP/ADP concentration ratio, are correlated with insulin release into the bloodstream. Sulfonylurea drugs, commonly used in type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment, bind to the octamer KATP channels composed of four pore-forming Kir6.2 and four SUR1 subunits and increase the probability of insulin release. Azobenzene-based derivatives of sulfonylureas, such as JB253 inspired by well-established antidiabetic drug glimepiride, allow for control of this process by light. The mechanism of that phenomenon was not known until now. In this paper, we use molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and metadynamics to reveal structural determinants explaining light-controlled insulin release. We show that both trans- and cis-JB253 bind to the same SUR1 cavity as antidiabetic sulfonylurea glibenclamide (GBM). Simulations indicate that, in contrast to trans-JB253, the cis-JB253 structure generated by blue light absorption promotes open structures of SUR1, in close similarity to the GBM effect. We postulate that in the open SUR1 structures, the N-terminal tail from Kir6.2 protruding into the SUR1 pocket is stabilized by flexible enough sulfonylureas. Therefore, the adjacent Kir6.2 pore is more often closed, which in turn facilitates insulin release. Thus, KATP conductance is regulated by peptide linkers between its Kir6.2 and SUR1 subunits, a phenomenon present in other biological signaling pathways. Our data explain the observed light-modulated activity of photoactive sulfonylureas and widen a way to develop new antidiabetic drugs having reduced adverse effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic factors of long-term outcomes in hospitalized patients with diabetes mellitus and COVID-19 are lacking. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we evaluated patients aged ≥ 18-years-old with the COVID-19 diagnosis who were hospitalized between Feb 20 and Oct 29, 2020, in the Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran. 1323 patients with COVID-19 entered in the final analysis, of whom 393 (29.7%) patients had diabetes. We followed up patients for incurring in-hospital death, severe COVID-19, in-hospital complications, and 7-month all-cause mortality. By doing univariate analysis, variables with unadjusted P-value < 0.1 in univariate analyses were regarded as the confounders to include in the logistic regression models. We made adjustments for possible clinical (model 1) and both clinical and laboratory (model 2) confounders. RESULTS After multivariable regression, it was revealed that preadmission use of sulfonylureas was associated with a borderline increased risk of severity in both models [model 1, OR (95% CI):1.83 (0.91-3.71), P-value: 0.092; model 2, 2.05 (0.87-4.79), P-value: 0.099] and major adverse events (MAE: each of the severe COVID-19, multi-organ damage, or in-hospital mortality) in model 1 [OR (95% CI): 1.86 (0.90-3.87), P-value: 0.094]. Preadmission use of ACEIs/ARBs was associated with borderline increased risk of MAE in the only model 1 [OR (95% CI):1.83 (0.96-3.48), P-value: 0.066]. CONCLUSIONS Preadmission use of sulfonylureas and ACEIs/ARBs were associated with borderline increased risk of in-hospital adverse outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS To determine whether adiposity modified the effect on the cardiovascular safety of sulphonylureas as a first-line therapy compared with metformin among patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, we conducted a cohort study among 13 862 new sulphonylurea users matched on body mass index (BMI) and propensity score, in a 1:1 ratio, to new metformin users between April 1, 1998 and December 31, 2016. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), individual components of MACE (myocardial infarction [MI], ischaemic stroke, cardiovascular mortality), and all-cause mortality, comparing use of sulphonylureas with use of metformin, overall and within BMI categories (≤24.9 kg/m2 , 25.0-29.9 kg/m2 , ≥30 kg/m2 ). RESULTS Compared with metformin, sulphonylureas were not associated with an increased risk of MACE either overall (HR 1.08, 95% CI 0.94-1.23) or by BMI category. Similar findings were observed for MI and ischaemic stroke. By contrast, sulphonylureas were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.04-1.48), primarily among obese patients (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.08-2.13), and not among normal-weight patients (HR 1.00, 95% CI 0.72-1.39; P-interaction 0.21). Similar results were observed for all-cause mortality (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.32-1.62), where an increased risk was observed among obese patients (HR 1.83, 95% CI 1.49-2.25), but not normal-weight patients (HR 1.18, 95% CI 0.99-1.42; P-interaction: 0.006). CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that adiposity may have a modifying effect on the association between sulphonylureas and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality compared with metformin.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a leading health issue, causing economic burden in India. Pharmacotherapy is a major cost driver in diabetic care usually funded through out of pocket expenditure; however, there has been a very limited economic evaluation evidence to guide the choice of diabetes pharmacotherapy in India. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of dapagliflozin (sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitor) compared to commonly used sulfonylureas as second-line drugs in Indian patients with T2DM. Methods Cost-utility analysis was employed to estimate the costs and health outcomes using a Markov model with 1-year cycle length during a lifetime horizon based on an Indian payer’s perspective. A treatment pathway with dapagliflozin as second-line therapy was compared to sulfonylureas after failure of initial metformin therapy. Clinical and cost data were collected from literature reviews and available secondary data sources. Both costs and outcomes were discounted at a 3% annual discount rate. The results were presented as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to test parameter uncertainties. Results Compared to sulfonylurea, dapagliflozin was estimated to incur an additional cost of ₹182,632 (US$2,446) with an expected 3.49 life years (LY) or 1.72 quality adjusted life years (QALY) gained, resulting in an ICER of ₹52,270 (US$699) per LY gained, or ₹106,133 (US$1,421) per QALY gained. Uncertainty analyses showed that the ICER values were not sensitive to changes in most parameters. Conclusion Dapagliflozin would be cost-effective compared to sulfonylureas as the second line added to metformin for T2DM patients based on an Indian payer’s perspective.

Airy Shaw extract stimulates insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells and improves insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 278:114238. [PMID: 34048878 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Vernicia fordii (Hemsl.) Airy Shaw (V. fordii) is also known as the tung tree and its leaves and fruit are used as an oriental treatment for dyspepsia, edema, and skin diseases, which are known as diabetic complications. AIM OF THE STUDY In this study, we aimed to investigate the methanolic extract (VF5) of the leaves of V. fordii as an insulin secretagogue and its probable mechanism and verify the effect in HFD-fed mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The insulin secretagogue activity of different doses of VF5 (0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 μg/ml) was assessed using in vitro insulin secretion assay and confirmed the anti-diabetic effect in mice fed HFD for 4 weeks with different doses of VF5 (10, 20 and 50 mg/kg oral) for another 6 weeks. Glbenclamide (30 mg/kg, oral) was used as positive control drug. The possible mechanisms were evaluated by using Gö6983 (10 μM), U73122 (10 μM) and nifedipine (10 μM). The major constituents of VF5 were analyzed by UPLC-QToF-MS and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. RESULTS UPLC-QToF-MS and NMR spectroscopy analysis indicated that one of the main active components of VF5 was tigliane-diterpene esters. VF5 functioned as an insulin secretagogue and enhanced mitochondria respiration and insulin homeostasis. We confirmed that VF5 preserved the β-cell and reduced the β-cell expansion which caused by metabolic stress under HFD. The antidiabetic role of VF5 in HFD fed mice was assessed by glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT), fasting plasma insulin level, fasting blood glucose level, AKT signal in peripheral tissue in the absence of toxic effects. Mechanistically, insulinotropic effect of VF5 was mediated by activation of PKCα via intracellular Ca2+ influx and enhanced mitochondria function. CONCLUSION VF5 exhibits potent insulin secretagogue function and improves insulin sensitivity and protection of pancreatic β-cells from metabolic stress without toxicity. Taken together, our study suggests that VF5 could be potentially used for treating diabetes and metabolic diseases through improving β-cell function.

Changing the approach to type 2 diabetes treatment: A comparison of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sulphonylureas across the continuum of care. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2021; 37:e3434. [PMID: 33900667 PMCID: PMC8519155 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2019] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Despite the importance of individualised strategies for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the availability of alternative treatments, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), sulphonylureas are still widely used in practice. Clinical evidence shows that GLP-1 RAs may provide better and more durable glycaemic control than sulphonylureas, with lower risk of hypoglycaemia. Other reported benefits of GLP-1 RAs include weight loss rather than weight gain (as observed with sulphonylureas), blood pressure reduction and improvement in lipid profiles. In general, the main adverse events with GLP-1 RAs are gastrointestinal in nature. The respective modes of action of GLP-1 RAs and sulphonylureas contribute to differences in the durability of glycaemic control (related to effects on beta-cells) and effects on body weight. Moreover, the glucose-dependent mode of action of GLP-1 RAs, which favours a low incidence of hypoglycaemia, contrasts with the glucose-independent mode of action of sulphonylureas. Evidence from cardiovascular outcomes trials indicates a consistent finding of cardiovascular safety across the GLP-1 RAs and suggests a class benefit for the long-acting GLP-1 RAs in reducing three-point major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. In contrast, potential concerns relating to an increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events with sulphonylureas have yet to be fully resolved. Recent updates to management guidelines recommend that treatment selection for patients with T2DM should consider clinical trial evidence of cardiovascular safety. Available evidence suggests that this selection should give preference to GLP-1 RAs over sulphonylureas, especially for patients at high cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study determines whether metformin monotherapy or combination therapies can decrease anemia risk in the progress of advanced chronic kidney disease for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The data set was obtained from the National Health Insurance Research Database, containing 1 million randomly selected beneficiaries. After matching, 9303 pairs (1:1) of metformin users and nonusers were acquired. Every patient was individually recorded from 1997 to 2012 to identify anemia incidence (hemoglobin <9 gm/dL). Cox regression models were used to compute hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). There were 305 (0.7%) and 76 (0.8%) erythropoietin-stimulating agent cases in the metformin and non-metformin cohorts over a mean follow-up period of 6.8 and 5.6 years. After matching, the use of metformin decreased the risk of usage of erythropoietin-stimulating agents with an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.76 (95%CI, 0.45-1.29) for dosage of <357 g to 0.30 (95%CI, 0.17-0.56) for >1368 g. The combination of metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors decreased with a hazard ratio of 0.42 (95%CI, 0.18-0.99), compared to metformin alone. Metformin combined with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors is superior to metformin monotherapy or non-metformin antidiabetic therapies for reducing the risk of anemia in the progress of advanced chronic kidney disease among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Multiple sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have been shown to impart significant cardiovascular and kidney benefits, but are underused in clinical practice. Both SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA were first studied as glucose-lowering drugs, which may have impeded uptake by cardiologists in the wake of proven cardiovascular efficacy. Their significant effect on cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, which are largely independent of glucose-lowering effects, must drive a broader use of these drugs. Cardiologists are 3 times more likely than endocrinologists to see patients with both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, thus they are ideally positioned to share responsibility for SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA treatment with primary care providers. In order to increase adoption, SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA must be reframed as primarily cardiovascular and kidney disease risk-reducing agents with a side effect of glucose-lowering. Coordinated and multifaceted interventions engaging clinicians, patients, payers, professional societies, and health systems must be implemented to incentivize the adoption of these medications as part of routine cardiovascular and kidney care. Greater use of SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA will improve outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk for cardiovascular and kidney disease.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether the use of evogliptin, a novel dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events compared with glimepiride in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We conducted a population-based cohort study using South Korea's nationwide healthcare database from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2018. We identified a base cohort of patients with T2D who newly initiated metformin monotherapy, from which we identified a study cohort of patients who either added or switched to glimepiride or DPP-4is (including evogliptin). Patients were followed up from initiation of DPP-4is or glimepiride until the earliest of either outcome occurrence or 31 December 2018. Our primary outcome was hospitalization or an emergency visit for cardiovascular events, a composite endpoint comprised of cerebrovascular events, heart failure, myocardial infarction, transient ischaemic attack, angina pectoris and revascularization procedures; secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcome. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the risk of study outcomes associated with evogliptin compared with glimepiride. RESULTS Our base and study cohorts had 317,307 and 128,788 patients, respectively, of which 100,038 were DPP-4i users (2946 were evogliptin users) and 28,750 were glimepiride users within the study cohort. The median follow-up was 195 days for evogliptin and 113 days for glimepiride users. Compared with glimepiride, evogliptin was associated with a reduced risk of the primary outcome (aHR 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.95) and cerebrovascular events (aHR 0.41, 95% CI 0.22-0.78) but showed non-significant associations for myocardial infarction (aHR 0.63, 95% CI 0.27-1.46), heart failure (aHR 0.35, 95% CI 0.09-1.47), transient ischaemic attack (aHR 0.23, 95% CI 0.03-1.72) and angina pectoris (aHR 1.35, 95% CI 0.82-2.21). CONCLUSIONS Findings from this population-based cohort study provide novel real-world evidence that the use of evogliptin, compared with glimepiride, did not increase the risk of cardiovascular events, including cerebrovascular events, myocardial infarction, heart failure, transient ischaemic attack and angina pectoris.

Abstract
In type 2 diabetes, anti-thrombotic management is challenging, and current anti-platelet agents have demonstrated reduced efficacy. Old and new anti-diabetic drugs exhibited—besides lowering blood glucose levels—direct and indirect effects on platelet function and on thrombotic milieu, eventually conditioning cardiovascular outcomes. The present review summarizes existing evidence on the effects of glucose-lowering agents on platelet properties, addressing pre-clinical and clinical research, as well as drug–drug interactions with anti-platelet agents. We aimed at expanding clinicians’ understanding by highlighting new opportunities for an optimal management of patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We suggest how an improvement of the thrombotic risk in this large population of patients may be achieved by a careful and tailored combination of anti-diabetic and anti-platelet therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recent studies have reported that HbA1c and lipid variability is useful for risk stratification in diabetes mellitus. The present study evaluated the predictive value of the baseline, subsequent mean of at least three measurements and variability of HbA1c and lipids for adverse outcomes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study consists of type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients who were prescribed insulin at outpatient clinics of Hong Kong public hospitals, from 1st January to 31st December 2009. Standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation were used to measure the variability of HbA1c, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride. The primary outcome is all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were diabetes-related complications. RESULT The study consists of 25,186 patients (mean age = 63.0, interquartile range [IQR] of age = 15.1 years, male = 50%). HbA1c and lipid value and variability were significant predictors of all-cause mortality. Higher HbA1c and lipid variability measures were associated with increased risks of neurological, ophthalmological and renal complications, as well as incident dementia, osteoporosis, peripheral vascular disease, ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation and heart failure (p < 0.05). Significant association was found between hypoglycemic frequency (p < 0.0001), HbA1c (p < 0.0001) and lipid variability against baseline neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). CONCLUSION Raised variability in HbA1c and lipid parameters are associated with an elevated risk in both diabetic complications and all-cause mortality. The association between hypoglycemic frequency, baseline NLR, and both HbA1c and lipid variability implicate a role for inflammation in mediating adverse outcomes in diabetes, but this should be explored further in future studies.

T2DM patients ≥18 years newly prescribed first-line monotherapies during 2010-2015 were followed since their first prescription until the composite of major adverse CV events, MACE (myocardium infarction [MI], stroke and all-cause death), its components, heart failure (HF) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) or censoring. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios 95% confidence interval (HR [95%CI]). RESULTS Compared with metformin, the use of sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4 i) and meglitinides were significantly associated with higher risk for MACE (1.55 [1.42-1.68]); 1.49 [1.22-1.84] and 2.01 [1.29-3.12]) and all-cause mortality (1.67 [1.52-1.84], 1.65 [1.30-2.] and 2.08 [1.26-3.42]). Sulfonylureas users had increased risk of MI (1.38 [1.03-1.85]) stroke (1.31 [1.11-1.54]), HF (1.49 [1.28-1.72]) and PAD (1.24 [1.02-1.51]). Meglitinides users were at increased risks of MI, HR 2.03 (1.10-3.74). CONCLUSION In first-line monotherapies, compared with metformin, sulfonylureas were associated with increased risks in all the outcomes; DPP-4 i and repaglinide showed increased risks of MACE and mortality. Residual confounding cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing heart failure, and the co-existence of both diseases worsens cardiovascular outcomes, hospitalization and the progression of heart failure. Despite current advancements on therapeutic strategies to manage hyperglycemia, the likelihood of developing diabetes-induced heart failure is still significant, especially with the accelerating global prevalence of diabetes and an ageing population. This raises the likelihood of other contributing mechanisms beyond hyperglycemia in predisposing diabetic patients to cardiovascular disease risk. There has been considerable interest in understanding the alterations in cardiac structure and function in the diabetic patients, collectively termed as "diabetic cardiomyopathy". However, the factors that contribute to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathies is not fully understood. This review summarizes the main characteristics of diabetic cardiomyopathies, and the basic mechanisms that contribute to its occurrence. This includes perturbations in insulin resistance, fuel preference, reactive oxygen species generation, inflammation, cell death pathways, neurohormonal mechanisms, advanced glycated end-products accumulation, lipotoxicity, glucotoxicity, and posttranslational modifications in the heart of the diabetic. This review also discusses the impact of antihyperglycemic therapies on the development of heart failure, as well as how current heart failure therapies influence glycemic control in diabetic patients. We also highlight the current knowledge gaps in understanding how diabetes induces heart failure.

Abstract
Many drugs are responsible, through different mechanisms, for peripheral oedema. Severity is highly variable, ranging from slight oedema of the lower limbs to anasarca pictures as in the capillary leak syndrome. Although most often noninflammatory and bilateral, some drugs are associated with peripheral oedema that is readily erythematous (eg, pemetrexed) or unilateral (eg, sirolimus). Thus, drug-induced peripheral oedema is underrecognized and misdiagnosed, frequently leading to a prescribing cascade. Four main mechanisms are involved, namely precapillary arteriolar vasodilation (vasodilatory oedema), sodium/water retention (renal oedema), lymphatic insufficiency (lymphedema) and increased capillary permeability (permeability oedema). The underlying mechanism has significant impact on treatment efficacy. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the main causative drugs by illustrating each pathophysiological mechanism and their management through an example of a drug.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major contributor to the morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). With T2DM growing in pandemic proportions, there will be profound healthcare implications of CVD in person with diabetes. The ideal drugs to improve outcomes in T2DM are those having antiglycemic efficacy in addition to cardiovascular (CV) safety, which has to be determined in appropriately designed CV outcome trials as mandated by regulatory agencies. Available evidence is largely supportive of metformin's CV safety and potential CVD risk reduction effects, whereas sulfonylureas are either CV risk neutral or are associated with variable CVD risk. Pioglitazone was also associated with improved CVD risk in patients with diabetes. The more recent antihyperglycemic medications have shown promise with regards to CVD risk reduction in T2DM patients at a high CV risk. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, a type of incretin-based therapy, were associated with better CV outcomes and mortality in T2DM patients, leading to the Food and Drug Administration approval of liraglutide to reduce CVD risk in high-risk T2DM patients. Ongoing and planned randomized controlled trials of the newer drugs should clarify the possibility of class effects, and of CVD risk reduction benefits in low-moderate CV risk patients. While metformin remains the first-line antiglycemic therapy in T2DM, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists should be appropriately prescribed in T2DM patients with baseline CVD or in those at a high CVD risk to improve CV outcomes. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are discussed in the second part of this review.

Abstract
Objective Recent studies have raised concern about the cardiovascular safety of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors. We performed a systematic review through meta-analysis to compare cardiovascular outcomes of sulfonylurea (SU) versus DPP4 inhibitors when used in combination with metformin. Methods After searching for trials using combination therapy of metformin with DPP4 inhibitor or SU in PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase, one prospective observation study and 15 randomized controlled studies were selected. Results Regarding the primary analysis endpoint, there were no significant differences in the risk of all-cause mortality between SU and DPP4 inhibitors as an add-on therapy to metformin (random-effect relative risk [RR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98–1.33; p=0.811; I2=0%). Cardiovascular death was also similar between the two drug classes in the five studies which reported outcomes (random-effect RR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.83–1.27; p=0.517; I2=0%). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in major adverse cardiac events (MACE), coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke and heart failure. However, there were less hypoglycemic events and weight gain in the DPP4 inhibitor group as compared with the SU group (random-effect RR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.53–9.39; p<0.001; I2=98.2 and weighted mean difference, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.07–2.29; p<0.001; I2=94.7, respectively). Conclusion As add-on therapy to metformin, there were no significant differences in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality between DPP4 inhibitors and SUs.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes mellitus remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the world. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a descriptive pathology that in absence of co-morbidities such as hypertension, dyslipidemia initially characterized by cardiac stiffness, myocardial fibrosis, ventricular hypertrophy, and remodeling. These abnormalities further contribute to diastolic dysfunctions followed by systolic dysfunctions and eventually results in clinical heart failure (HF). The clinical outcomes associated with HF are considerably worse in patients with diabetes. The complexity of the pathogenesis and clinical features of diabetic cardiomyopathy raises serious questions in developing a therapeutic strategy to manage cardio-metabolic abnormalities. Despite extensive research in the past decade the compelling approaches to manage and treat diabetic cardiomyopathy are limited. AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK), a serine-threonine kinase, often referred to as cellular "metabolic master switch". During the development and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy, a plethora of evidence demonstrate the beneficial role of AMPK on cardio-metabolic abnormalities including altered substrate utilization, impaired cardiac insulin metabolic signaling, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, myocardial inflammation, increased accumulation of advanced glycation end-products, impaired cardiac calcium handling, maladaptive activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, endoplasmic reticulum stress, myocardial fibrosis, ventricular hypertrophy, cardiac apoptosis, and impaired autophagy. Therefore, in this review, we have summarized the findings from pre-clinical and clinical studies and provided a collective overview of the pathophysiological mechanism and the regulatory role of AMPK on cardio-metabolic abnormalities during the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physicians often prescribe high numbers of medications for managing multiple cardiometabolic diseases. It is questionable whether polypharmacy (concurrent use of five or more medications) is beneficial or detrimental for older adults with cardiometabolic multimorbidity (co-occurrence of two or more diseases). OBJECTIVE To examine combined effects of multimorbidity and polypharmacy on hospitalization and frailty and to determine whether effect sizes of polypharmacy vary with numbers of cardiometabolic diseases. METHODS We pooled longitudinal data of community-dwelling older adults in Hong Kong, Israel, and 17 European countries. They completed questionnaires for baseline assessment from 2015 to 2018 and reassessment at 1-2-year follow-up. We performed regression analyses to address the objective. RESULTS Among 44 818 participants (mean age: 69.6 years), 28.3% had polypharmacy and 34.8% suffered from cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Increased risks of hospitalization and worsening frailty were found in participants with 'multimorbidity alone' [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.10 and 1.26] and 'polypharmacy alone' (AOR 1.57 and 1.68). With 'multimorbidity and 'polypharmacy' combined, participants were not at additive risks (AOR 1.53 and 1.47). In stratified analysis, with increasing numbers of cardiometabolic diseases, associations of polypharmacy with hospitalization and frailty were attenuated but remained statistically significant. CONCLUSION Polypharmacy is less detrimental, yet still detrimental, for older adults living with cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Physicians should optimize prescription regardless of the number of diseases. Health policymakers and researchers need to consider their interrelationship in hospitalization risk predictions and in developing frailty scales.

Abstract
Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with poor cardiovascular surgical outcomes due to microvascular and macrovascular complications. This is a major concern as over one third of cardiovascular surgical patients have diabetes mellitus which greatly increases their risk of experiencing adverse cardiovascular events. A literature review was performed to identify articles discussing the effects of anti-diabetic medications (ADMs) on cardiovascular outcomes and surgical mortality and morbidity rates. Optimizing perioperative glucose levels remains a key factor in producing good surgical outcomes. In addition, recognizing gender differences, increasing patient satisfaction, and implementing dedicated diabetic teams all improve surgical mortality and morbidity rates in the diabetic population.
