Abstract
Diabetes is a heterogeneous metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from the destruction or malfunction of pancreatic β cells, insulin resistance in peripheral tissues, or both, and results in a non-sufficient production of insulin. To adjust blood glucose levels, diabetic patients need exogenous insulin administration together with medical nutrition therapy and physical activity. With the aim of improving insulin availability in diabetic patients as well as ameliorating diabetes comorbidities, different strategies have been investigated. The first approaches included enhancing endogenous β cell activity or transplanting new islets. The protocol for this kind of intervention has recently been optimized, leading to standardized procedures. It is indicated for diabetic patients with severe hypoglycemia, complicated by impaired hypoglycemia awareness or exacerbated glycemic lability. Transplantation has been associated with improvement in all comorbidities associated with diabetes, quality of life, and survival. However, different trials are ongoing to further improve the beneficial effects of transplantation. Furthermore, to overcome some limitations associated with the availability of islets/pancreas, alternative therapeutic strategies are under evaluation, such as the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells for transplantation. The cotransplantation of MSCs with islets has been successful, thus providing protection against proinflammatory cytokines and hypoxia through different mechanisms, including exosome release. The use of induced pluripotent stem cells is recent and requires further investigation. The advantages of MSC implantation have also included the improvement of diabetes-related comorbidities, such as wound healing. Despite the number of advantages of the direct injection of MSCs, new strategies involving biomaterials and scaffolds have been developed to improve the efficacy of mesenchymal cell delivery with promising results. In conclusion, this paper offered an overview of new alternative strategies for diabetes management while highlighting some limitations that will need to be overcome by future approaches.

Peter PR, Inzucchi SE. Use of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors in Type 1 Diabetes: The Promise and the Perils. Endocr Pract 2024; 30:577-583. [PMID: 38548175 DOI: 10.1016/j.eprac.2024.03.022] [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: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite improvements in glucose monitoring technologies, insulin formulations and insulin delivery systems, too many patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) continue to struggle to meet their glycemic goals. As a result, they suffer from high rates of microvascular and macrovascular disease. Titration of insulin therapy, while essential to the care of these patients, is often limited by undesirable side effects of hypoglycemia and weight gain. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors have been proposed as a potential adjunctive therapy to insulin that may offset some of these effects, while simultaneously enabling patients with T1D to potentially reap the cardiovascular and renal benefits afforded by these agents in those with type 2 diabetes. This review summarizes and contextualizes the clinical trial data that has emerged with these agents in this specific population. METHODS A clinical review based on current literature was generated by the authors. RESULTS This review summarizes the data from several clinical trial programs investigating the use of SGLT inhibitors in T1D, describing the potential benefits and the ketosis-related adverse events of these agents (including euglycemic DKA), along with a discussion of possible mitigation strategies to reduce this risk. CONCLUSION Although theoretically SGLT inhibitors have the potential to improve metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal outcomes in patients with T1D, the risks of diabetic ketoacidosis currently represent an important limitation to the widespread use of these agents. If treatment is undertaken, caution must be taken, with implementation of effective mitigation strategies being essential.

Abstract
YG1699 is a novel inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and SGLT2. This double-blind, 3-way crossover trial compared YG1699 to dapagliflozin as an adjunct to insulin in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on insulin pump therapy. Treatment periods included four mixed meal tolerance tests (MMTTs) and insulin withdrawal tests per person. Nineteen adults with T1D were randomized to YG1699 10 mg, YG1699 25 mg, and dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily for 1 week in different orders. The primary end point was the difference in area under the curve (AUC) in plasma glucose (AUC0-120min) after an MMTT between treatment groups. Mean change in plasma glucose after an MMTT (AUC0-120min) was lower for YG1699 10 mg vs. dapagliflozin (89.51% of baseline vs. 102.13%, 90% confidence interval (CI) vs. dapagliflozin, -6% to -16%, P = 0.0003) and for YG1699 25 mg (84.83% vs. 102.13%, 90% CI vs. dapagliflozin -13% to -22%, P < 0.0001). At 120 minutes, mean glucose values on no treatment, dapagliflozin, YG1699 10 mg, and YG1699 25 mg were 149 (SE 7.6), 141 (SE 6.1), 128 (SE 6.9), and 115 (SE 7.8) mg/dL, respectively. Insulin dose requirements were lower for YG1699 10 mg and 25 mg vs. dapagliflozin for bolus insulin, and for YG1699 10 mg vs. dapagliflozin for total daily insulin. Safety profiles were similar between treatment groups. YG1699 reduced post-prandial glucose more than dapagliflozin in people with T1D on insulin pump therapy. The results were consistent with dual SGLT1/SGLT2 inhibition by YG1699.

Abstract
Introduction: Sodium glucose cotransporter inhibitors may increase beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in insulin-requiring patients. We determined factors associated with BHB changes from baseline (ΔBHB) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) receiving sotagliflozin as an insulin adjunct. Research Design and Methods: This post hoc analysis compared ΔBHB levels in adults with T1D receiving sotagliflozin 400 mg or placebo for 6 months. We evaluated clinical and metabolic factors associated with ΔBHB and used logistic regression models to determine predictors associated with BHB values >0.6 and >1.5 mmol/L (inTandem3 population; N = 1402) or with DKA events in a pooled analysis (inTandem1-3; N = 2453). Results: From baseline (median, 0.13 mmol/L), median fasting BHB increased by 0.04 mmol/L (95% confidence interval, 0.03-0.05; P < 0.001) at 24 weeks with sotagliflozin versus placebo; 67% of patients had no or minimal changes in BHB over time. Factors associated with on-treatment BHB >0.6 or >1.5 mmol/L included baseline BHB and sotagliflozin use. Age, insulin pump use, sotagliflozin use, baseline BHB, and ΔBHB were significantly associated with DKA episodes. Independent of treatment, DKA risk increased by 18% with each 0.1-mmol/L increase in baseline BHB and by 8% with each 0.1-mmol/L increase from baseline. Conclusion: Incremental increases in baseline BHB and ΔBHB were associated with a higher DKA risk independent of treatment. Adding sotagliflozin to insulin increased median BHB over 24 weeks in patients with T1D and was associated with increased DKA events. These results highlight the importance of BHB testing and monitoring and individualizing patient education on DKA risk, mitigation, identification, and treatment.

Glucagon secretion and its association with glycaemic control and ketogenesis during sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibition by ipragliflozin in people with type 1 diabetes: Results from the multicentre, open-label, prospective study. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:1605-1614. [PMID: 38253809 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
AIM Clinical trials showed the efficacy of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors for type 1 diabetes (T1D) by significant reductions in body weight and glycaemic variability, but elevated susceptibility to ketoacidosis via elevated glucagon secretion was a potential concern. The Suglat-AID evaluated glucagon responses and its associations with glycaemic control and ketogenesis before and after T1D treatment with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, ipragliflozin. METHODS Adults with T1D (n = 25) took 50-mg open-labelled ipragliflozin daily as adjunctive to insulin. Laboratory/clinical data including continuous glucose monitoring were collected until 12 weeks after the ipragliflozin initiation. The participants underwent a mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) twice [before (first MMTT) and 12 weeks after ipragliflozin treatment (second MMTT)] to evaluate responses of glucose, C-peptide, glucagon and β-hydroxybutyrate. RESULTS The area under the curve from fasting (0 min) to 120 min (AUC0-120min) of glucagon in second MMTT were significantly increased by 14% versus first MMTT. The fasting and postprandial β-hydroxybutyrate levels were significantly elevated in second MMTT versus first MMTT. The positive correlation between postprandial glucagon secretion and glucose excursions observed in first MMTT disappeared in second MMTT, but a negative correlation between fasting glucagon and time below range (glucose, <3.9 mmol/L) appeared in second MMTT. The percentage changes in glucagon levels (fasting and AUC0-120min) from baseline to 12 weeks were significantly correlated with those in β-hydroxybutyrate levels. CONCLUSIONS Ipragliflozin treatment for T1D increased postprandial glucagon secretion, which did not exacerbate postprandial hyperglycaemia but might protect against hypoglycaemia, leading to reduced glycaemic variability. The increased glucagon secretion might accelerate ketogenesis when adequate insulin is not supplied.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), defined as co-existing diabetes and chronic kidney disease in the absence of other clear causes of kidney injury, occurs in approximately 20-40% of patients with diabetes mellitus. As the global prevalence of diabetes has increased, DKD has become highly prevalent and a leading cause of kidney failure, accelerated cardiovascular disease, premature mortality and global health care expenditure. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms contribute to DKD, and single lifestyle or pharmacological interventions have shown limited efficacy at preserving kidney function. For nearly two decades, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors were the only available kidney-protective drugs. However, several new drug classes, including sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist and a selective endothelin receptor antagonist, have now been demonstrated to improve kidney outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, emerging preclinical and clinical evidence of the kidney-protective effects of glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists has led to the prospective testing of these agents for DKD. Research and clinical efforts are geared towards using therapies with potentially complementary efficacy in combination to safely halt kidney disease progression. As more kidney-protective drugs become available, the outlook for people living with DKD should improve in the next few decades.

Abstract
AIMS This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to evaluate the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on continuous glucose monitoring metrics as adjunctive to insulin in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted through Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library and Google Scholar until October 25, 2023. Dual-independent study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were conducted. Results were summarized with random effects meta-analysis. RESULTS Eight RCTs were identified, involving a total of 2310 T1D patients. The use of SGLT2is on top of standard insulin therapy was associated with a significantly higher time in range (TIR) compared to placebo (mean difference (MD) 9.7 %; 95 % confidence interval (CI) [8.3, 1.11]; P < 0.001). The time above range was significantly lower in patients receiving SGLT2is (MD -8.71 %; 95 % CI [-11.62, -5.79]; P < 0.001), whereas no difference was observed regarding the time below range (TBR) (MD 0.34 %; 95 % CI [-0.17, 0.85]; P = 0.19). A significantly lower sensor-recorded mean daily glucose was noted in the group receiving SGLT2is (MD -16.55 mg/dL; 95 % CI [-19.82, -13.29]; P < 0.001). When considering the metrics of glucose variability, SGLT2is demonstrated a significant favorable effect on the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MD -16.92 mg/dL; 95 % CI [-25.31, -8.13]; P < 0.001) and the mean standard deviation of weekly glucose levels (MD -7.67 mg/dL; 95 % CI [-11, -4.35]; P < 0.001). No significant effect was observed concerning the coefficient of variation (MD -1 %; 95 % CI [-2.39, 0.4]; P = 0.16). Regarding safety outcomes, SGLT2is were significantly linked to higher odds of diabetic ketoacidosis compared to insulin alone (OR 3.18; 95 % CI [1.79, 5.66]; P < 0.001), with no significant impact on severe hypoglycemia events (OR 1; 95 % CI [0.54, 1.85]; P = 0.1). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that in individuals with T1D, adjunct therapy with SGLT2is provides a significant benefit in terms of TIR and reduced glucose variability, without an increase in TBR.

Abstract
The coexistence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is common in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is strongly associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Hence, it is imperative to explore robust tools that can accurately reflect the development and progression of cardiorenal complications. Several cardiovascular and kidney biomarkers have been identified to detect at-risk individuals with T1D. The primary aim of this review is to highlight biomarkers of injury, inflammation, or renal hemodynamic changes that may influence T1D susceptibility to CVD and DKD. We will also examine the impact of approved pharmacotherapies for type 2 diabetes, including renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on candidate biomarkers for cardiorenal complications in people with T1D and discuss how these changes may potentially mediate kidney and cardiovascular protection. Identifying predictive and prognostic biomarkers for DKD and CVD may highlight potential drug targets to attenuate cardiorenal disease progression, implement novel risk stratification measures in clinical trials, and improve the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of at-risk individuals with T1D.

Harnessing the Synergy of SGLT2 Inhibitors and Continuous Ketone Monitoring (CKM) in Managing Heart Failure among Patients with Type 1 Diabetes. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:753. [PMID: 38610175 PMCID: PMC11011472 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12070753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) management in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is particularly challenging due to its increased prevalence and the associated risks of hospitalization and mortality, driven by diabetic cardiomyopathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-is) offer a promising avenue for treating HF, specifically the preserved ejection fraction variant most common in T1D, but their utility is hampered by the risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This review investigates the potential of SGLT2-is in T1D HF management alongside emergent Continuous Ketone Monitoring (CKM) technology as a means to mitigate DKA risk through a comprehensive analysis of clinical trials, observational studies, and reviews. The evidence suggests that SGLT2-is significantly reduce HF hospitalization and enhance cardiovascular outcomes. However, their application in T1D patients remains limited due to DKA concerns. CKM technology emerges as a crucial tool in this context, offering real-time monitoring of ketone levels, which enables the safe incorporation of SGLT2-is into treatment regimes by allowing for early detection and intervention in the development of ketosis. The synergy between SGLT2-is and CKM has the potential to revolutionize HF treatment in T1D, promising improved patient safety, quality of life, and reduced HF-related morbidity and mortality. Future research should aim to employ clinical trials directly assessing this integrated approach, potentially guiding new management protocols for HF in T1D.

Abstract
Optimizing energy use in the kidney is critical for normal kidney function. Here, we investigate the effect of hyperglycemia and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition on urinary amino acid excretion in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The open-label ATIRMA trial assessed the impact of 8 weeks of 25 mg empagliflozin orally once per day in 40 normotensive normoalbuminuric young adults with T1D. A consecutive 2-day assessment of clamped euglycemia and hyperglycemia was evaluated at baseline and posttreatment visits. Principal component analysis was performed on urinary amino acids grouped into representative metabolic pathways using MetaboAnalyst. At baseline, acute hyperglycemia was associated with changes in 25 of the 33 urinary amino acids or their metabolites. The most significant amino acid metabolites affected by acute hyperglycemia were 3-hydroxykynurenine, serotonin, glycyl-histidine, and nicotinic acid. The changes in amino acid metabolites were reflected by the induction of four biosynthetic pathways: aminoacyl-tRNA; valine, leucine, and isoleucine; arginine; and phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. In acute hyperglycemia, empagliflozin significantly attenuated the increases in aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis and valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis. Our findings using amino acid metabolomics indicate that hyperglycemia stimulates biosynthetic pathways in T1D. SGLT2 inhibition may attenuate the increase in biosynthetic pathways to optimize kidney energy metabolism. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
Currently, the differentiation between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not straightforward, and the features of both types of diabetes coexist in one subject. This situation triggered the need to discriminate so-called double diabetes (DD), hybrid diabetes or type 1.5 diabetes, which is generally described as the presence of the insulin resistance characteristic of metabolic syndrome in individuals diagnosed with T1D. DD not only raises the question of proper classification of diabetes but is also associated with a significantly greater risk of developing micro- and macroangiopathic complications, which was independent of glycaemic control. When considering the global obesity pandemic and increasing incidence of T1D, the prevalence of DD may also presumably increase. Therefore, it is of the highest priority to discover the mechanisms underlying the development of DD and to identify appropriate methods to prevent or treat DD. In this article, we describe how the definition of double diabetes has changed over the years and how it is currently defined. We discuss the accuracy of including metabolic syndrome in the DD definition. We also present possible hypotheses connecting insulin resistance with T1D and propose possible methods to identify individuals with double diabetes based on indirect insulin resistance markers, which are easily assessed in everyday clinical practice. Moreover, we discuss adjuvant therapy which may be considered in double diabetic patients.

Abstract
AIMS Sodium glucose cotransporter2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are controversial in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study is a systematic evaluation of the safety of SGLT2 inhibitors usage in T1DM. METHODS Comprehensive literature search in six databases from inception to September 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of T1DM treated with SGLT2 inhibitor vs. placebo were included. Data were extracted from the literature that met the inclusion criteria. After quality evaluation by the Cochrane risk bias assessment tool, meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.4 and Stata 17.1. RESULTS The study consisted of 16 RCTs with 7192 patients. The results indicated that SGLT2inhibitors reduce glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c, Mean difference (MD)- 0.29%, P < 0.05), fasting plasma glucose (FPG, MD-0.85 mmol/L, P < 0.05), mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE, 15.75 mg/dL, P < 0.05), body weight (MD-3.49 kg, P < 0.05), and total insulin dosage (MD-7.14 IU/day, P < 0.05). Furthermore, cautious SGLT2 inhibitors did not induce the risk of hypoglycemia (RR1.00, P = 0.86), urinary tract infections (RR1.02, P = 0.085), and diarrhea (RR1.34, P = 0.523). CONCLUSION Based on this meta-analysis, SGLT22 inhibitors reduce insulin dosage without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis for type 1 diabetes mellitus in 1month.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity is an epidemic in the United States with serious concomitant co-morbid conditions; people living with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) are not immune to the risk either. Weight gain in T1D is likely multifactorial, due to genetic, environmental and treatment-related factors. FDA-approved and other adjunctive weight loss therapies may benefit people living with T1D but there are risks to consider when providing recommendations or prescribing medications. RECENT FINDINGS We performed a PubMed search of studies assessing clinical outcomes of both approved and off-label medications used in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Search terms included 'type 1 diabetes, obesity' and the following: (1) metformin, (2) pramlintide, (3) glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, (4) dual GLP-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) agonists, (5) sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, (6) surgical treatment of obesity, (7) insulin pump, (8) insulin, (9) medical nutrition therapy, (10) diabetes self-management education, (11) exercise, (12) naltrexone-buproprion, (13) orlistat, and (14) phentermine-topiramate. SUMMARY Weight loss treatments provide a wide-range of benefits in reducing both morbidity and mortality in those who are obese. Treatments also have varying adverse effect profiles which may impact T1D treatment. In this review, we aim to summarize study outcomes in people with T1D, including risks and benefits, of on- and off-label weight loss treatments.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition resulting in insulin deficiency and eventual loss of pancreatic β cell function requiring lifelong insulin therapy. Since the discovery of insulin more than 100 years ago, vast advances in treatments have improved care for many people with type 1 diabetes. Ongoing research on the genetics and immunology of type 1 diabetes and on interventions to modify disease course and preserve β cell function have expanded our broad understanding of this condition. Biomarkers of type 1 diabetes are detectable months to years before development of overt disease, and three stages of diabetes are now recognized. The advent of continuous glucose monitoring and the newer automated insulin delivery systems have changed the landscape of type 1 diabetes management and are associated with improved glycated hemoglobin and decreased hypoglycemia. Adjunctive therapies such as sodium glucose cotransporter-1 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists may find use in management in the future. Despite these rapid advances in the field, people living in under-resourced parts of the world struggle to obtain necessities such as insulin, syringes, and blood glucose monitoring essential for managing this condition. This review covers recent developments in diagnosis and treatment and future directions in the broad field of type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure worldwide. CKD frequently coexists with heart failure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the broader context of cardio-kidney-metabolic syndrome. Diabetes and CKD are associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death as well as decreased quality of life. The role of metabolic and hemodynamic abnormalities has long been recognized as an important contributor to the pathogenesis and progression of CKD in diabetes, while a more recent and growing body of evidence supports activation of both systemic and local inflammation as important contributors. Current guidelines recommend therapies targeting pathomechanisms of CKD in addition to management of traditional risk factors such as hyperglycemia and hypertension. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are recommended for treatment of patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes (T2D) if eGFR is ≥20 ml/min/173 m2 on a background of renin-angiotensin system inhibition. For patients with T2D, CKD, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist is recommended as additional risk-based therapy. A non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist is also recommended as additional risk-based therapy for persistent albuminuria in patients with T2D already treated with renin-angiotensin system inhibition. Implementation of guideline-directed medical therapies is challenging in the face of rapidly accumulating knowledge, high cost of medications, and lack of infrastructure for optimal healthcare delivery. Furthermore, studies of new therapies have focused on T2D and CKD. Clinical trials are now planned to inform the role of these therapies in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and CKD.

Abstract
Current management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 1 diabetes centres on glycaemic control, renin-angiotensin system inhibition and optimisation of risk factors including blood pressure, lipids and body weight. While these therapeutic approaches have significantly improved outcomes among people with type 1 diabetes and CKD, this population remains at substantial elevated risk for adverse kidney and cardiovascular events, with limited improvements over the last few decades. The significant burden of CKD and CVD in type 1 diabetes populations highlights the need to identify novel therapies with the potential for heart and kidney protection. Over the last decade, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have emerged as potent kidney-protective and/or cardioprotective agents in type 2 diabetes. The consistent, substantial kidney and cardiovascular benefits of these agents has led to their incorporation into professional guidelines as foundational care for type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, introduction of these agents into clinical practice has been accompanied by a shift in the focus of diabetes care from a 'glucose-centric' to a 'cardiorenal risk-centric' approach. In this review, we evaluate the potential translation of novel type 2 diabetes therapeutics to individuals with type 1 diabetes with the lens of preventing the development and progression of CKD.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to determine if ketone production and excretion are increased even at mild fasting hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D) and if these are modified by ketoacidosis risk factors, including sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibition (SGLTi) and female sex. METHODS In secondary analysis of an 8-week single-arm open-label trial of empagliflozin (NCT01392560) we evaluated ketone concentrations during extended fasting and clamped euglycemia (4-6 mmol/L) and mild hyperglycemia (9-11 mmol/L) prior to and after treatment. Plasma and urine beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations and fractional excretion were analyzed by metabolomic analysis. RESULTS Forty participants (50 % female), aged 24 ± 5 years, HbA1c 8.0 ± 0.9 % (64 ± 0.08 mmol/mol) with T1D duration of 17.5 ± 7 years, were studied. Increased BHB production even during mild hyperglycemia (median urine 6.3[3.5-13.6] vs. 3.5[2.2-7.0] µmol/mmol creatinine during euglycemia, p < 0.001) was compensated by increased fractional excretion (0.9 % [0.3-1.6] vs. 0.4 % [0.2-0.9], p < 0.001). SGLTi increased production and attenuated the increased BHB fractional excretion (decreased to 0.3 % during mild hyperglycemia, p < 0.001), resulting in higher plasma concentrations (increased to 0.21 [0.05-0.40] mmol/L, p < 0.001), particularly in females (interaction p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Even mild hyperglycemia is associated with greater ketone production, compensated by urinary excretion, in T1D. However, SGLTi exaggerates production and partially reduces compensatory excretion, particularly in women.

A large body of evidence suggests that renal hypoxia is one of the main forces that drives diabetic kidney disease, both in its early and advanced stages. It promotes inflammation, generation of intrarenal collagen, capillary rarefaction and eventually accumulation of extracellular matrix that destroys normal renal architecture. SGLT2 inhibitors are unquestionably a practice-changing drug class and a valuable weapon for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. They have achieved several beneficial kidney effects after targeting multiple and interrelated signaling pathways, including renal hypoxia, independent of their antihyperglycemic activities. This manuscript discusses the pathophysiological concepts that underly their possible effects on modulating renal hypoxia. It also comprehensively investigates both preclinical and clinical studies that explored the possible role of SGLT2 inhibitors in this setting, so as to achieve long-term renoprotective benefits.

Forner P, Snaith J, Greenfield JR. Prescribing patterns of adjunctive therapy for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus among Australian endocrinologists. Intern Med J 2023. [PMID: 38158765 DOI: 10.1111/imj.16312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many people living with type 1 diabetes (type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM)) do not meet glycaemic targets. Adjunctive therapies have both risks and metabolic benefits and may have a role in selected patients. AIM To review the prescribing patterns of adjunctive therapy for the treatment of T1DM diabetes in Australia. METHODS We conducted an online survey of Australian endocrinologists and endocrinology registrars. We surveyed the frequency of, motivations and concerns regarding the prescription of metformin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-IV) inhibitors, sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP1RA) in T1DM. RESULTS Fifty-two practitioners participated. Most respondents (94%) had prescribed adjuncts for the treatment of T1DM in some form. Weight (89%), large insulin doses (73%), glycaemic variability (52%), high HbA1c (48%) and the presence of cardiovascular disease (48%) were the most common factors determining the use of adjuncts. The most commonly prescribed adjuncts were metformin (94%) and SGLT-2 inhibitors (65%). Respondents who had never prescribed an SGLT-2 inhibitor (n = 18) reported risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (100%), off-label status (39%), lack of evidence (39%), withdrawal of support from the European Medicines Agency (17%) and cost (17%) as factors contributing to their decision. Thirty-one respondents (60%) had prescribed a GLP1RA. Among those who had never prescribed a GLP1RA (n = 21), off-label status (57%), lack of evidence (48%), cost (38%) and expected lack of efficacy (14%) were factors affecting their decision. Only five respondents (10%) had prescribed a DPP-IV inhibitor. CONCLUSION Australian endocrinologists commonly prescribe adjuncts to address cardiometabolic concerns in T1DM. DKA risk and off-label status are significant factors contributing to reluctance to prescribe.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease, and its therapeutic goals focus on the effective management of blood glucose and various complications. Drug combination therapy has emerged as a comprehensive treatment approach for diabetes. An increasing number of studies have shown that, compared with monotherapy, combination therapy can bring significant clinical benefits while controlling blood glucose, weight, and blood pressure, as well as mitigating damage from certain complications and delaying their progression in diabetes, including both type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related complications. This evidence provides strong support for the recommendation of combination therapy for diabetes and highlights the importance of combined treatment. In this review, we first provided a brief overview of the phenotype and pathogenesis of diabetes and discussed several conventional anti-diabetic medications currently used for the treatment of diabetes. We then reviewed several clinical trials and pre-clinical animal experiments on T1D, T2D, and their common complications to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different classes of drug combinations. In general, combination therapy plays a pivotal role in the management of diabetes. Integrating the effectiveness of multiple drugs enables more comprehensive and effective control of blood glucose without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia or other serious adverse events. However, specific treatment regimens should be tailored to individual patients and implemented under the guidance of healthcare professionals.

Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:257. [PMID: 38057844 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01232-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ramadan Iftar meal typically causes glucose excursions. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors increase glucagon-like peptide-1 and thus, decrease blood glucose levels with low risk of hypoglycemia. AIM To investigate the efficacy and safety of vildagliptin as an add-on therapy on glucose excursions of Iftar Ramadan meals among adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) treatment. METHODS Fifty T1DM patients on MiniMed™ 780G AHCL were randomly assigned either to receive vildagliptin (50 mg tablet) with iftar meal during Ramadan month or not. All participants received pre-meal insulin bolus based on insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR) for each meal constitution. RESULTS Vildagliptin offered blunting of post-meal glucose surges (mean difference - 30.3 mg/dL [- 1.7 mmol/L] versus - 2.9 mg/dL [- 0.2 mmol/L] in control group; p < 0.001) together with concomitant exceptional euglycemia with time in range (TIR) significantly increased at end of Ramadan in intervention group from 77.8 ± 9.6% to 84.7 ± 8.3% (p = 0.016) and time above range (180-250 mg/dL) decreased from 13.6 ± 5.1% to 9.7 ± 3.6% (p = 0.003) without increasing hypoglycemia. A significant reduction was observed in automated daily correction boluses and total bolus dose by 23.9% and 16.3% (p = 0.015 and p < 0.023, respectively) with less aggressive ICR settings within intervention group at end of Ramadan. Coefficient of variation was improved from 37.0 ± 9.4% to 31.8 ± 7.1%; p = 0.035). No severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis were reported. CONCLUSION Adjunctive vildagliptin treatment mitigated postprandial hyperglycemia compared with pre-meal bolus alone. Vildagliptin significantly increased TIR while reducing glycemic variability without compromising safety. Trial registration This trial was registered under ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier no. NCT06021119.

The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors as an adjunct to insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes assessed by continuous glucose monitoring: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Diabetes Complications 2023; 37:108632. [PMID: 37907042 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2023.108632] [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: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Patients undergoing insulin-based therapy for type 1 diabetes often experience poor glycemic control characterized by significant fluctuations. This study was undertaken to analyze the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2Is), as an adjunct to insulin, on time in range (TIR) and glycemic variability in patients with type 1 diabetes, using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). In addition, we examined which type of SGLT2I yielded a superior effect compared to others. METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and clinical trial registry websites, retrieving all eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published up until February 2023. We analyzed the mean TIR, mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE), mean daily glucose (MDG), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), standard deviation (SD), total insulin dose, and severe hypoglycemia to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGLT2Is. A random-effects model was also employed. RESULTS This study encompassed 15 RCTs. The meta-analysis revealed that the use of SGLT2Is as an adjuvant therapy to insulin led to a significant increase in TIR (MD = 10.78, 95%CI = 9.33-12.23, I2 = 42 %, P < 0.00001) and a decrease in SD (MD = -0.38, 95%CI = -0.50 to -0.26, I2 = 0 %, P < 0.00001), MAGE (MD = -0.92, 95%CI = -1.17 to -0.67, I2 = 19 %, P < 0.00001), MDG(MD = -1.01, 95%CI = -1.32 to -0.70, I2 = 48 %, P < 0.00001), and total insulin dose (MD = -5.81, 95%CI = -7.81 to -3.82, I2 = 32 %, P < 0.00001). No significant increase was observed in the rate of severe hypoglycemia (RR = 1.04, 95 % CI = 0.76-1.43, P = 0.80). However, SGLT2I therapy was associated with increased DKA occurrence (RR = 2.79, 95 % CI = 1.42-5.48; P = 0.003, I2 = 16 %). In addition, the subgroup analyses based on the type of SGLT2Is revealed that dapagliflozin might exhibit greater efficacy compared to other SGLT2Is across most outcomes. CONCLUSIONS SGLT2Is exhibited a positive effect on improving blood glucose level fluctuations. Subgroup analysis showed that dapagliflozin appeared to have more advantages. However, giving due consideration to preventing adverse effects, particularly DKA, is paramount. REGISTRATION Prospero CRD42023408276.

Abstract
SGLT2i (sodium glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors) are pharmacological agents that act by inhibiting the SGLT2, by reducing the renal plasma glucose threshold and inducing glycosuria, resulting in a blood glucose lowering effect. In recent years, studies demonstrating some additional positive effects of SGLT2i also in the treatment of T1D have increased progressively. The SGLT2i dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin have been temporarily licensed for use by the European Medical Agency (EMA) as an adjunct to insulin therapy in adults with T1D with a body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or higher. However, in the meantime, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee was divided, citing concerns about the main side effects of SGLT2i, especially diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The aim of this manuscript was to conduct an update on current evidence and recommendations of the reported use of SGLT2i in the treatment of T1D in humans. Preclinical studies, clinical trial and real world data suggest benefits in glycaemia control and nefro-cardiovascular protection, even though several studies have documented an important increase in the risk of DKA, a serious and life-threatening adverse event of these agents. SGLT2i potentially addresses some of the unmet needs associated with T1D by improving glycaemic control with weight loss and without increasing hypoglycemia, by reducing glycaemic variability. However, due to side effects, EMA recommendation for SGLT2 use on T1D was withdrawn. Further studies will be needed to determine the safety of this therapy in T1D and to define the type of patient who can benefit most from these medications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rather than during illness while diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is developing, we aimed to determine if levels of routine point-of-care capillary blood ketones could predict future DKA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined previously collected data from placebo-assigned participants in an adjunct-to-insulin medication trial program that included measurement of fasted capillary blood ketone levels twice per week in a 2-month baseline period. The outcome was 6- to 12-month trial-adjudicated DKA. RESULTS DKA events occurred in 12 of 484 participants at a median of 105 (interquartile range 43, 199) days. Maximum ketone levels were higher in patient cases compared with in control patients (0.8 [0.6, 1.2] vs. 0.3 [0.2, 0.7] mmol/L; P = 0.002), with a nonparametric area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.77 (95% CI 0.66-0.88). Ketone levels ≥0.8 mmol/L had a sensitivity of 64%, a specificity of 78%, and positive and negative likelihood ratios of 2.9 and 0.5, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This proof of concept that routine capillary ketone surveillance can identify individuals at high risk of future DKA implies a role for future technologies including continuous ketone monitoring.

Abstract
Despite continuous advances in both diagnosis and management, heart failure (HF) still represents a major worldwide health issue. Recently, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated to reduce cardiovascular death and hospitalization for HF across the entire spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction. Therefore, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin and sotagliflozin are now recommended as part of the foundational therapy of HF. These agents are characterized by limited contraindications, low cost, non-relevant adverse effects and no need for titration. Although they have a prominent role in the latest recommendations for HF, drug prescriptions are definitely lower than the number of potentially eligible patients. In fact, awareness gaps, therapeutic inertia, concerns about safety and simultaneous initiation of comprehensive medical therapy may represent barriers to their use. This article aims to offer an overview of current knowledge on SGLT2i in HF and provide a comprehensive and updated practical guide on their use in de novo and chronic HF, including potential scenarios that a clinician, cardiologist or others, may face in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Insulin is the primary treatment for type 1 diabetes. However, alternative glucose-lowering therapies are used adjunctively, but importantly are off-label in type 1 diabetes. Little work has previously been undertaken to evaluate safety with long-term efficacy and cardio-renal benefits of such therapies. We sought to investigate the real-world impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapy in individuals with type 1 diabetes in relation to effect on blood glucose levels, adverse events and cardio-renal outcomes. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of all patients aged 18 or over with type 1 diabetes on the TriNetX platform, a global collaborative network providing access to real-time, anonymised medical records. We included patients who had been treated with an SGLT2i or GLP-1 RA for at least 6 months and analysed the efficacy, safety and cardio-renal outcomes 5 years after initiation of therapy. RESULTS We identified 196,691 individuals with type 1 diabetes, 13% of whom were treated with adjunctive glucose-lowering therapy in addition to insulin. Included in the core analysis were 1822 patients treated with a GLP-1 RA and 992 individuals treated with an SGLT2i. Both agents provided clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c (-2.6 mmol/mol [-0.2%] with SGLT2i and -5.4 mmol/mol [-0.5%] with GLP-1 RA). The SGLT2i treated cohort showed preservation of eGFR over a 5-year period compared with the GLP-1 RA treated cohort (+3.5 ml/min per 1.73 m2 vs -7.2 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively), including patients with established chronic kidney disease (CKD). The SGLT2i treated cohort experienced higher rates of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (RR 2.08 [95% CI 1.05, 4.12] p=0.0309) and urinary tract infection/pyelonephritis (RR 2.27 [95% CI 1.12, 4.55] p=0.019) compared with the GLP-1 RA treated cohort. However, the SGLT2i treated cohort were less likely to develop heart failure (RR 0.44 [95% CI 0.23, 0.83] p=0.0092), CKD (RR 0.49 [95% CI 0.28, 0.86] p=0.0118) and be hospitalised for any cause (RR 0.59 [95% CI 0.46, 0.76] p≤0.0001) when compared with the GLP-1 RA treated cohort. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Both SGLT2is and GLP-1 RAs have potential benefits as adjunctive agents in type 1 diabetes. SGLT2is provide cardio-renal benefits, despite an increase in the risk of DKA and urinary tract infection compared with GLP-1 RA therapy. Long-term evaluation of the efficacy and safety of these adjunctive therapies is required to guide their use in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

[PMID: 37797963 PMCID: PMC10551972 DOI: 10.1136/bmjdrc-2023-003666] [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: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is an emerging complication of diabetes associated with an increasing use of sodium-glucose transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor drugs. This review highlights the growing incidence of EDKA and its diagnostic challenges due to the absence of hallmark hyperglycemia seen in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The paper presents a classification system for the severity of EDKA, categorizing it into mild, moderate, and severe based on serum pH and bicarbonate levels. Another classification system is proposed to define stages of EDKA based on anion gap and ketones at the time of diagnosis and during the treatment period. A treatment algorithm is proposed to guide clinicians in managing EDKA. This treatment algorithm includes monitoring anion gap and ketones to guide insulin and fluid management, and slower transition to subcutaneous insulin to prevent a relapse. Increased awareness of EDKA is essential for a timely diagnosis because an early diagnosis and treatment can improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) are two devastating diseases that may occur in nondiabetics or individuals with diabetes and, when combined, it is referred to as cardiorenal disease. The impact of cardiorenal disease on society, the economy and the healthcare system is enormous. Although there are numerous therapies for cardiorenal disease, one therapy showing a great deal of promise is sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. The SGLT family member, SGLT2, is often implicated in the pathogenesis of a range of diseases, and the dysregulation of the activity of SGLT2 markedly effects the transport of glucose and sodium across the luminal membrane of renal cells. Inhibitors of SGLT2 were developed based on the antidiabetic action initiated by inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption, thereby increasing glucosuria. Of great medical significance, large-scale clinical trials utilizing a range of SGLT2 inhibitors have demonstrated both metabolic and biochemical benefits via numerous novel mechanisms, such as sympathoinhibition, which will be discussed in this review. In summary, SGLT2 inhibitors clearly exert cardio-renal protection in people with and without diabetes in both preclinical and clinical settings. This exciting class of inhibitors improve hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and diabetic retinopathy via multiple mechanisms, of which many are yet to be elucidated.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the most frequent form of diabetes in pediatric age, affecting more than 1.5 million people younger than age 20 years worldwide. Early and intensive control of diabetes provides continued protection against both microvascular and macrovascular complications, enhances growth, and ensures normal pubertal development. In the absence of definitive reversal therapy for this disease, achieving and maintaining the recommended glycemic targets is crucial. In the last 30 years, enormous progress has been made using technology to better treat T1D. In spite of this progress, the majority of children, adolescents and young adults do not reach the recommended targets for glycemic control and assume a considerable burden each day. The development of promising new therapeutic advances, such as more physiologic insulin analogues, pioneering diabetes technology including continuous glucose monitoring and closed loop systems as well as new adjuvant drugs, anticipate a new paradigm in T1D management over the next few years. This review presents insights into current management of T1D in youths.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are commonly prescribed to manage patients with diabetes mellitus. These agents may rarely lead to the development of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA), which may complicate the disease course of these patients. AIM To analyze the demographic profile, predisposing factors, symptomology, clinical interventions and outcomes of patients presenting with EDKA secondary to SGLT2i use by reviewing the published case reports and series. METHODS We performed a systematic search of PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar and Reference Citation Analysis databases using the terms "canagliflozin" OR "empagliflozin" OR "dapagliflozin" OR "SGLT2 inhibitors" OR "Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2" AND "euglycemia" OR "euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis" OR "metabolic acidosis". The inclusion criteria were: (1) Case reports or case series with individual patient details; and (2) Reported EDKA secondary to SGLT2i. Furthermore, the data were filtered from the literature published in the English language and on adults (> 18 years). We excluded: (1) Conference abstracts; and (2) Case reports or series which did not have individual biochemical data. All the case reports and case series were evaluated. The data extracted included patient demographics, clinical symptomatology, clinical interventions, intensive care unit course, need for organ support and outcomes. RESULTS Overall, 108 case reports and 17 cases series with 169 unique patients that met all the inclusion criteria were included. The majority of patients were females (54.4%, n = 92), and the commonly reported symptoms were gastrointestinal (nausea/vomiting 65.1%, abdominal pain 37.3%) and respiratory (breathlessness 30.8%). One hundred and forty-nine (88.2%) patients had underlying type II diabetes, and the most commonly involved SGLT-2 inhibitor reported was empagliflozin (46.8%). A triggering factor was reported in most patients (78.7%), the commonest being acute severe infection (37.9%), which included patients with sepsis, coronavirus disease 2019, other viral illnesses, and acute pancreatitis. 61.5% were reported to require intensive unit care, but only a minority of patients required organ support in the form of invasive mechanical ventilation (13%), vasopressors (6.5%) or renal replacement therapy (5.9%). The overall mortality rate was only 2.4%. CONCLUSION Patients on SGLT2i may rarely develop EDKA, especially in the presence of certain predisposing factors, including severe acute infections and following major surgery. The signs and symptoms of EDKA may be similar to that of DKA but with normal blood sugar levels, which may make the diagnosis challenging. Outcomes of EDKA are good if recognized early and corrective actions are taken. Hence, physicians managing such patients must be aware of this potential complication and must educate their patients accordingly to ensure early diagnosis and management.

Expert Opin Drug Saf 2023; 22:697-706. [PMID: 36946980 DOI: 10.1080/14740338.2023.2193393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Ipragliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor approved in Japan in combination with insulin for patients with T1D. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Spontaneous safety reports of ipragliflozin adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in patients with T1D were collected during early post-marketing phase vigilance (EPPV; 21 December 2018-20 June 2019). For patients with T1D prescribed ipragliflozin who experienced DKA, we examined DKA event data registered in the manufacturer's safety database (21 December 2018-31 December 2021), including patient background characteristics. RESULTS During EPPV, there were 189 total events (45 serious) of ADRs, including 32 serious events of ketoacidosis. From 2018 to 2021, the major DKA risk factors were sick days, stopping or inappropriately decreasing insulin, insulin pump trouble, and low carbohydrate diet, with substantial overlap among these factors. CONCLUSIONS In Japanese patients with T1D using ipragliflozin, DKA events were linked to several overlapping factors, including sick days and reduced dose/interruption of insulin, whether intentional or unexpected. These results highlight the need for improved patient education regarding ipragliflozin use and appropriate self-management of ketosis from an early stage.

Abstract
Background Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may have suboptimal glucose control and are interested in the use of adjuvant therapies. Objectives To determine, from the patients' perspective, the reasons for initiation of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) and/or sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) in treating T1DM; perceived benefits/side effects, reasons for discontinuation, and willingness to reinitiate therapy. Design Retrospective chart review with structured telephone interviews. Methods We identified patients with T1DM treated with a GLP-1RA and/or SGLT2i for >3 months at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (Dallas, TX, USA) and Poznan University (Poznan, Poland). We conducted structured telephone interviews regarding their experiences. Results We interviewed 68 participants treated with GLP-1RA and 82 with SGLT2i. Treatment was initiated for improving glycemic control (as reported by 61.8% versus 81.7% of GLP-1RA and SGLT2i users, respectively), weight loss/appetite suppression (51.4% versus 23.2%) and to reduce insulin requirement (13.2% versus 11%). Most participants (86.8% of GLP-1RA and 89.0% of SGLT2i users) reported ⩾1 benefit attributed to therapy. Reported benefits were improved glycemic control (reported by 58.8% versus 82.9% of GLP-1RA and SGLT2i users, respectively), weight loss/appetite suppression (63.2% versus 30.5%), and reduced insulin requirement (27.9% versus 34.1%). More GLP-1RA users reported side effects versus SGLT2i users (63.2% versus 36.6%); 22.6% discontinued GLP-1RA due to side effects versus 11.0% SGLT2i users. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was reported by 4.9% of SGLT2i users, but none in GLP-1RA users. Of those who discontinued medication, 60.7% of GLP-1RA versus 56.0% of SGLT2i prior users were willing to reinitiate treatment. Conclusions Patients with T1DM report initiating adjuvant treatment with GLP-1RA and/or SGLT2i to improve glycemic control and lose weight; most patients reported perceived benefits from these therapies. Side effects (including DKA) are reported more commonly in real life than in clinical trials. Given patient interest in these medications, further studies should evaluate the long-term risk-benefits ratio in larger cohorts.

Abstract
The burden of heart failure among people with type 2 diabetes is increasing globally. People with comorbid type 2 diabetes and heart failure often have worse outcomes than those with only one of these conditions-eg, higher hospitalisation and mortality rates. Therefore, it is essential to implement optimal heart failure prevention strategies for people with type 2 diabetes. A detailed understanding of the pathophysiology underlying the occurrence of heart failure in type 2 diabetes can aid clinicians in identifying relevant risk factors and lead to early interventions that can help prevent heart failure. In this Review, we discuss the pathophysiology and risk factors of heart failure in type 2 diabetes. We also review the risk assessment tools for predicting heart failure incidence in people with type 2 diabetes as well as the data from clinical trials that have assessed the efficacy of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Finally, we discuss the potential challenges in implementing new management approaches and offer pragmatic recommendations to help overcome these challenges.

Abstract
Background The treatment duration of insulin-sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors (SGLTis) co-treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) varies by 1-52 weeks. Henceforth, treatment duration-wise, we compared the following insulin-treatment adjuncts- mega- versus low-dose SGLTis, SGLTis versus placebo, and different SGLTi dosages. Method Double-blinded RCTs reporting the above were searched (using terms like insulin-dependent, "juvenile-onset diabetes," and "sodium glucose cotransport*") in the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases and appraised using a Cochrane tool. The risks across different SGLTi-dosages were compared using network meta-analysis. Random-effect pairwise meta-analysis was performed for the remaining harm juxtapositions. Meta-analyses were performed for the following treatment durations- < 4 weeks, 4 to < 24 weeks, and ≥ 24 weeks. For meta-analysis and certainty of evidence assessment, we used the Stata statistical software and the GRADE method, respectively. Results A total of 15 (low risks of bias) studies sourcing data from about 7,330 T1DM patients were reviewed. Meta-analysis findings of ≥ 24 weeks long trials were- a. SGLTi-insulin co-treatment increased the genital infection (GI) (RR: 3.51; 95% CI: 2.59, 4.77), diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and (RR: 3.25; 95% CI:1.29, 8.16), and serious side effects (RR: 1.43; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.94) risk. b. SGLT2i-insulin increased the GI risk (RR: 3.77; 95% CI: 2.31, 6.16; high-quality evidence). c. Sotagliflozin-insulin increased the GI (RR: 3.36; 95% CI: 2.28, 4.96) and DKA (RR: 6.69; 95% CI: 2.75, 16.32) risk (both high-quality evidence). Compared to low-dose, megadose SGLTi treatment for 4 to < 24 weeks increased the GI risk. The remaining analyses were not statistically significantly different. Conclusion On moderate to long-term treatment (24-52 weeks) of T1DM patients, insulin-SGLT2i co-treatment was associated with GI risk, and insulin-sotagliflozin co-treatment was associated with DKA and GI risk.

Cost-effectiveness of the tubeless automated insulin delivery system vs standard of care in the management of type 1 diabetes in the United States. J Manag Care Spec Pharm 2023:1-11.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: A tubeless, on-body automated insulin delivery (AID) system (Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System) demonstrated improved glycated hemoglobin A1c levels and increased time in range (70 mg/dL to 180 mg/dL) for both adults and children with type 1 diabetes in a 13-week multicenter, single-arm study. OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of the tubeless AID system compared with standard of care (SoC) in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the United States. METHODS: Cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted from a US payer's perspective, using the IQVIA Core Diabetes Model (version 9.5), with a time horizon of 60 years and an annual discount of 3.0% on both costs and effects. Simulated patients received either tubeless AID or SoC, the latter being defined as either continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (86% of patients) or multiple daily injections. Two cohorts (children: <18 years; adults: ≥18 years) of patients with T1D and 2 thresholds for nonsevere hypoglycemia (nonsevere hypoglycemia event [NSHE] <54 mg/dL and <70 mg/dL) were considered. Baseline cohort characteristics and treatment effects of different risk factors for tubeless AID were sourced from the clinical trial. Utilities and cost of diabetes-related complications were obtained from published sources. Treatment costs were derived from US national database sources. Scenario analyses and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to test the robustness of the results. RESULTS: Treating children with T1D with tubeless AID, considering an NSHE threshold of less than 54 mg/dL, brings incremental life-years (1.375) and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) (1.521) at an incremental cost of $15,099 compared with SoC, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $9,927 per QALY gained. Similar results were obtained for adults with T1D assuming an NSHE threshold of less than 54 mg/dL (incremental cost-effectiveness ratio = $10,310 per QALY gained). Furthermore, tubeless AID is a dominant treatment option for children and adults with T1D assuming an NSHE threshold of less than 70 mg/dL compared with SoC. The probabilistic sensitivity analyses results showed that compared with SoC, in both children and adults with T1D, tubeless AID was cost-effective in more than 90% of simulations, assuming a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 per QALY gained. The key drivers of the model were the cost of ketoacidosis, duration of treatment effect, threshold of NSHE, and definition of severe hypoglycemia. CONCLUSIONS: The current analyses suggest that the tubeless AID system can be considered a cost-effective treatment compared with SoC in people with T1D from a US payer's perspective.

Abstract
Purpose: Dapagliflozin has been used extensively in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, due to the potential diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) risk of dapagliflozin, its use in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is limited. Here, we reported an obese patient with T1DM and inadequate glycemic control. We carefully recommended she use dapagliflozin as an insulin adjuvant to achieve better glycemia control and to assess possible benefits and risks. Methods and Results: The patient was a 27-year-old female who had underlying T1DM for 17 years with a body weight of 75.0 kg, body mass index (BMI) of 28.2 kg/m2, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.7% when admitted. To treat her diabetes, she had used an insulin pump for 15 years (the recent dosage of insulin was 45 IU/d) and oral metformin for 3 years (0.5 g qid). In order to decrease body weight and achieve better glycemic control, dapagliflozin (FORXIGA, AstraZeneca, Indiana) was administered as an insulin adjuvant. The patient presented sever DKA with a euglycemia (euDKA) after two days of the administration of dapagliflozin at a dose of 10 mg/d. euDKA occurred again after the administration of dapagliflozin at a dose of 3.3 mg/d. However, after using a smaller dose of dapagliflozin (1.5 mg/d), this patient achieved better glycemia control, with a significant reduction in daily insulin dosage and gradual weight loss, without significant hypoglycemia or DKA occurring. At the sixth month of the administration of dapagliflozin, the HbA1c was 6.2% for the patient, her daily insulin dosage was 22.5 IU, and her body weight was 60.2 kg. Conclusions: The appropriate dose of dapagliflozin is critical for a patient with T1DM patient therapy in order to find a correct balance between the benefits and risks.

Abstract
Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) used as an adjunct to insulin therapy in adults with type 1 diabetes. Methods: A search of electronic databases (Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) from 1 January 1950 to 23 May 2021 was conducted to find randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was the change in HbA1c. Eight efficacy and six safety secondary endpoints were evaluated via meta-analysis. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and odds ratio (OR), alongside 95% confidence interval (CI), were calculated using the random effects model. Results: Among 1,379 candidate studies, 11 trials comprising 2,856 participants satisfied the inclusion criteria. Overall, GLP-1 RA adjunctive therapy reduced HbA1c by -0.21% (95% CI, -0.33 to -0.10), weight by -4.04 kg (-4.8 to -3.27), systolic pressure by -2.57 mmHg (-4.11 to -1.03), and diastolic blood pressure by -1.02 mmHg (-1.99 to -0.06). In addition, there was a decrease in prandial insulin dose (WMD, -4.23 IU; 95% CI, -5.26 to -3.20), basal insulin dose (-2.40 IU; -3.93 to -0.87), and total insulin dose (-5.73 IU; -10.61 to -0.86). Moreover, GLP-1 RAs did not increase the incidence of severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe adverse events. However, GLP-1 RAs increased the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events (OR, 2.96; 95% CI, 2.33-3.77). Conclusion: Our meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials suggests moderate beneficial effects of GLP-1 RAs on the metabolic profile in patients with type 1 diabetes, without an increased risk of serious adverse events.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a progressive autoimmune disease that starts long before a clinical diagnosis is made. The American Diabetes Association recognizes three stages: stage 1 (normoglycaemic and positive for autoantibodies to β-cell antigens); stage 2 (asymptomatic with dysglycaemia); and stage 3, which is defined by glucose levels consistent with the definition of diabetes mellitus. This Perspective focuses on the management of the proportion of individuals with early stage 3 T1DM who do not immediately require insulin; a stage we propose should be termed stage 3a. To date, this period of non-insulin-dependent T1DM has been largely unrecognized. Importantly, it represents a window of opportunity for intervention, as remaining at this stage might delay the need for insulin by months or years. Extending the insulin-free period and/or avoiding unnecessary insulin therapy are important goals, as there is no risk of hypoglycaemia during this period and the adherence burden on patients of glycaemic monitoring and daily adjustments for diet and exercise is substantially reduced. Recognizing the pressing need for guidance on adequate management of children and adults with stage 3a T1DM, we present our perspective on the subject, which needs to be tested in formal and adequately powered clinical trials.

Abstract
CONTEXT Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are used off-label in the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in real-world practice as adjuvant therapies to insulin. There are few real-world data regarding efficacy and safety of this practice. OBJECTIVE This work aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs and sodium-glucose SGLT2is in the management of T1DM in real-world practice. METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of all instances of GLP-1RA and/or SGLT2i use greater than 90 days in adult patients with T1DM at a single academic center. We report the clinical and safety outcomes over the duration of use. RESULTS We identified 104 patients with T1DM who ever used a GLP-1RA (76 patients) or SGLT2i (39 patients) for more than 90 days. After 1 year of therapy, GLP-1RA users had statistically significant reductions in weight (90.5 kg to 85.4 kg; P < .001), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (7.7% to 7.3%; P = .007), and total daily dose of insulin (61.8 units to 41.9 units; P < .001). SGLT2i users had statistically significant reductions in HbA1c (7.9% to 7.3%; P < .001) and basal insulin (31.3 units to 25.6 units; P = .003). GLP-1RA users compared to SGLT2i users had greater reduction in weight (P = .027) while HbA1c reduction was comparable between the groups. Over a mean total duration of use of 29.5 months/patient for both groups, more SGLT2i users experienced diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (12.8% vs 3.9%). Therapy was discontinued because of adverse events 26.9% of the time for GLP-1RA users vs 27.7% for SGLT2i users. CONCLUSION GLP-1RA and SGLT2i use in T1DM is associated with clinically relevant benefits. DKA remains a clinical concern with SGLT2i use, requiring careful patient selection and monitoring, with the risk to benefit ratio of treatment evaluated at an individual level.

Abstract
AIMS Sotagliflozin (SOTA) as adjunct to insulin therapy improves glycemic control, reduces body weight and blood pressure, and increases time in range in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). SOTA demonstrated CV and kidney benefits in high-risk adults with type 2 diabetes. These potential benefits using SOTA for T1D may collectively outweigh the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. The present analysis estimated the risk of CVD and kidney failure in adults with T1D treated with SOTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participant-level data were used from the inTandem trials evaluating 2980 adults with T1D randomized to once-daily placebo, SOTA 200 mg, or SOTA 400 mg for 24 weeks. For each participant, the cumulative risks of developing CVD and kidney failure were estimated using the Steno T1 Risk Engine. A subgroup analysis was performed in participants with BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 . RESULTS SOTA significantly reduced the predicted 5- and 10-year CVD risk in the SOTA 200 and 400 mg pooled group with a relative change in the SOTA group compared to the relative change in the placebo group of (mean [95%-confidence interval (CI)]) -6.6 (-7.9, -5.3) % and -6.4 (-7.6, -5.1) % (p < 0.0001 for both) respectively. For the 5-year ESKD risk there was a significant reduction with a relative change of -5.0 (-7.6, -2.3) % (p = 0.0003). Similar results were observed with the individual doses and in participants with BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2 . CONCLUSION This analysis provides additional clinical results that may positively balance the benefit/risk assessment of SGLT inhibition use in T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated whether adding sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and/or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) to insulin reduced weight and glycemia in people with type 1 diabetes. METHODS This retrospective analysis of electronic health records evaluated 296 people with type 1 diabetes over 12 months after medications were first prescribed. Four groups were defined: control n = 80, SGLT2i n = 94, GLP1-RA n = 82, and combination of drugs (Combo) n = 40. We measured changes at 1 year in weight and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). RESULTS The control group did not have changes in weight or glycemic control. The mean (SD) percentage weight loss after 12 months was 4.4% (6.0%), 8.2% (8.5%), and 9.0% (8.4%) in the SGLT2i, GLP1-RA, and Combo groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The Combo group lost the most weight (p < 0.001). The HbA1c reduction was 0.4% (0.7%), 0.3% (0.7%), and 0.6% (0.8%) in the SGLT2i, GLP1-RA, and Combo groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The Combo group had the biggest improvements in glycemic control and total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol compared with baseline (all p < 0.01). Severe adverse events were similar between all the groups, with no increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. CONCLUSIONS The SGLT2i and GLP1-RA agents on their own improved body weight and glycemia, but combining the medications resulted in more weight loss. Treatment intensification appears to result in benefits with no difference in severe adverse events.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) were originally developed as antidiabetic agents, with cardiovascular (CV) outcome trials demonstrating improved CV outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Secondary analyses of CV outcome trials and later dedicated kidney outcome trials consistently reported improved kidney-related outcomes independent of T2D status and across a range of kidney function and albuminuria. Importantly, SGLT2 inhibitors are generally safe and well tolerated, with clinical trials and real-world analyses demonstrating a decrease in the risk of acute kidney injury. The kidney protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors generally extend across different members of the class, possibly on the basis of hemodynamic, metabolic, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on kidney outcomes in diverse patient populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether low doses of empagliflozin as adjunct to hybrid closed-loop therapy improve glycemia compared with placebo in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who are not able to achieve targets with the system alone. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A double-blind crossover randomized controlled trial was performed in adults with suboptimally controlled T1D (HbA1c 7.0-10.5%) who were not able to achieve a target time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L) ≥70% after 14 days of hybrid closed-loop therapy. Three 14-day interventions were performed with placebo, 2.5 mg empagliflozin, or 5 mg empagliflozin as adjunct to the McGill artificial pancreas. Participants were assigned at a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio with blocked randomization. The primary outcome was time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L). Analysis was by intention to treat, and a P value <0.05 was regarded as significant. RESULTS A total of 24 participants completed the study (50% male; age 33 ± 14 years; HbA1c 8.1 ± 0.5%). The time in range was 59.0 ± 9.0% for placebo, 71.6 ± 9.7% for 2.5 mg empagliflozin, and 70.2 ± 8.0% for 5 mg empagliflozin (P < 0.0001 between 2.5 mg empagliflozin and placebo and between 5 mg empagliflozin and placebo). Mean daily capillary ketone levels were not different between arms. There were no serious adverse events or cases of diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia in any intervention. CONCLUSIONS Empagliflozin at 2.5 and 5 mg increased time in range during hybrid closed-loop therapy by 11-13 percentage points compared with placebo in those who otherwise were unable to attain glycemic targets. Future studies are required to assess long-term efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Objective. Adjuvant therapy with sodium-glucose cotransport 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an improvement in glycemic control, but increases the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, real-life studies in individuals with T1D under continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) are still scarce. We present the first real-life study performed in patients with T1D exclusively treated with CSII. The aim of the present study was to assess the metabolic impact and safety of SGLT2i in T1D individuals under CSII. Methods. Retrospective study includes 34 T1D adult individuals under CSII, who started SGLT2i until 30th June 2021. Data regarding the glycemic control and acute diabetes complications at the moment of introduction of SGLT2i and after 3, 6, and 12 months of use were collected. Results. Twenty-three individuals were included. Comparing with the moment of SGLT2i introduction after 3, 6, and 12 months of use, there was a statistically significant increase of time in range (TIR) (∆T3M=12.8%; ∆T6M=11.5%; ∆T12M=11.1%), and a decrease in time above range (∆T3M=13.6%; ∆T6M=11.9%; ∆T12M=10.5%). There were no significant differences in time below the range. Mean glucose and mean glucose management indicator significantly reduced in the 3 evaluated moments. A significant reduction in median weight was also observed (∆T6M=2 kg; ∆T12M=4.5 kg). Two patients (8.7%) developed mild euglycemic DKA during SGLT2i treatment, both were women and had body mass index (BMI) <27 kg/m2. One of them had a total daily insulin dose (TDDI) reduction of 26.9% after 3 months of use. Conclusions. The use of SGLT2i, as an adjuvant treatment in T1D individuals under CSII, was associated with a significant increase of TIR without increasing time in hypoglycemia. It also had a weight benefit. Careful use in selected participants is necessary to reduce the occurrence of DKA.

Objective Young people with type 1 diabetes are likely to gain body weight and not achieve optimal glycemic control with only high doses of insulin. This study examined the efficacy of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin as an adjunct-to-insulin therapy in young Japanese subjects with type 1 diabetes who had been diagnosed before 15 years old, were overweight, and had inadequate control despitereceiving intensive insulin therapy. Methods Twenty-two patients with type 1 diabetes (12 boys and 10 girls 16.0-33.9 years old) were involved in the study. All patients had a body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level >7.0%, and daily insulin dose >0.5 units/kg. They were treated with a low dose of dapagliflozin (5.0 mg/day) as an adjunctive therapy to insulin. Fourteen patients were treated with multiple daily injections of insulin, while eight used an insulin pump. Results The body weights and BMIs were significantly reduced during the 12-month study period (change of -4.4 kg and -1.7 kg/m2, p<0.001, respectively). Their insulin dose was significantly decreased (-0.17 units/kg, P <0.001), and glycemic control was significantly improved (fasting plasma glucose: -18.7 mg/dL, HbA1c: -0.62%, p<0.001) during the study period. There was one episode of diabetic ketoacidosis, with no other problematic adverse events, including severe hypoglycemia, observed. Conclusion The use of low-dose dapagliflozin as an adjunct therapy may be beneficial in overweight young people with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), heart failure, obesity, and diabetes. Despite the usual prescribed antihypertensive therapies, many patients fail to achieve the recommended blood pressure (BP) targets. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes the clinical BP-lowering data presented in major CV and kidney outcome trials for sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, as well as smaller dedicated BP trials in high-risk individuals with and without diabetes. We have also highlighted potential mechanisms that may contribute to the antihypertensive effects of SGLT2 inhibitors, including natriuresis and hemodynamic changes, a loop diuretic-like effect, and alterations in vascular physiology. EXPERT OPINION The antihypertensive properties of SGLT2 inhibitors are generally modest but may be larger in certain patient populations. SGLT2 inhibitors may have an additional role as an adjunctive BP-lowering therapy in patients with hypertension at high risk of CV disease or kidney disease.
