J Affect Disord 2024; 358:432-439. [PMID: 38740269 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.05.037] [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: 06/22/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
There is a critical knowledge gap in optimally combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and antidepressants to treat patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). TMS is effective in treating MDD in patients who have failed at least one antidepressant trial, with accelerated protocols showing faster remission in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Although clinicians routinely augment antidepressants with TMS, there is a knowledge gap in stopping versus continuing antidepressants or the dosing strategies when starting or tapering TMS. These considerations are important when considering maintenance TMS (delivered alone or in combination with suitable antidepressants) to maintain remission in MDD after the index course of TMS. As the first step towards filling this knowledge gap, we reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and open-label trials from 2 databases (PubMed/Medline and EMBASE) that compared active TMS combined with a pre-specified antidepressant dosed in the same manner for adults with MDD versus sham TMS combined with the same antidepressant as in the active arm. All studies were published between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2023. We excluded case reports, case series, and clinical studies that augmented TMS with antidepressants and vice versa. We found 10 RCTs (n = 654 participants) and performed a meta-analysis. This showed active TMS combined with pre-specified antidepressants had greater efficacy for MDD treatment than sham TMS combined with the same antidepressants as in the active arm (Hedge's g = 1; 95 % CI [0.27, 1.73]). The review and meta-analysis indicate greater short-term efficacy in combining antidepressants with TMS from the get-go in MDD. Given the increasing role of accelerated TMS protocols in expediting remission in MDD and the results of our meta-analysis, we advocate for RCTs examining the short-term and long-term effects of various antidepressant classes on these TMS protocols in MDD. This can also optimize and individualize maintenance TMS protocols to prevent relapse in MDD.

Abstract
The lack of effective treatments for dementia has led to explore the potential of antidiabetic agents as a possible approach. This cross-sectional and population-based study aimed to investigate the relationship between each antidiabetic drug and their defined daily doses (DDDs) and the use of anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) drugs in order to establish new possible hypotheses about the role of antidiabetic drugs in AD. For that purpose, a database containing information on medications prescribed to 233183 patients aged 50 years or older between 2018 and 2020 was used. DDDs were calculated according to the ATC/DDD index 2023. Statistical analyses, with logistic regression, were carried out to assess antidiabetic and anti-AD drugs consumption. A total of 91836 patients who were prescribed at least one antihypertensive, antidiabetic, or lipid-modifying agent were included in the study; specifically, 29260 patients were prescribed antidiabetic medication. Among the antidiabetic agents, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs (GLP-1) DDDs were likely to have a positive association with anti-AD drugs in people aged between 70 and 80 years. Additionally, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were prone to have a positive association with anti-AD drug usage across almost every age. However, insulin usage was associated with an increased usage of anti-AD agents. In conclusion, there is evidence suggesting a correlation between certain antidiabetic agents and dementia. Specifically, GLP-1 and SGLT2i might be associated with lower odds of anti-AD drugs usage, while insulins might be linked to higher odds of using anti-AD drugs.

Abstract
The prevalence of overactive bladder (OAB) is known to be higher in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, few studies have examined specific risk factors contributing to its progression among diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, so this study aimed to investigate the risk factors specific to diabetes mellitus that influence overactive bladder in the Syrian population. This cross-sectional study was conducted at four endocrinology centers in four Syrian provinces: Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Hama, and Latakia. The study was comprised of patients who had been diagnosed with both T2DM and OAB and had visited these centers from February 2020 to January 2023. The Arabic version of the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) scale was used to categorize the participants based on the severity score into two groups: the mild OAB group and the moderate-severe OAB group. A logistic analysis was conducted to assess the risk factors associated with the OAB among patients with diabetes. Among the 153 patients diagnosed with both DM and OAB, significant distinctions were found between the two groups concerning the severity of overactive bladder, age, duration of diabetes, symptomatic diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and ankle reflex (P < 0.05). Furthermore, a multivariate analysis revealed that age (OR 1.48, 95% CI 0.89-2.19), duration of diabetes (OR 1.94, 95% CI 0.53-2.23), and symptomatic DPN (OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.39-4.13) independently acted as risk factors for the advancement of OAB. The severity of OAB in Syrian patients with diabetes is closely associated with the severity of DM. Factors such as age, duration of diabetes, and symptomatic DPN are independent predictors of the severity of OAB. Patients who experience symptomatic DPN are at an increased risk of developing OAB.

Abstract
The increasing global incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) underscores the urgency of addressing these interconnected health challenges. Obesity enhances genetic and environmental influences on T2D, being not only a primary risk factor but also exacerbating its severity. The complex mechanisms linking obesity and T2D involve adiposity-driven changes in β-cell function, adipose tissue functioning, and multi-organ insulin resistance (IR). Early detection and tailored treatment of T2D and obesity are crucial to mitigate future complications. Moreover, personalized and early intensified therapy considering the presence of comorbidities can delay disease progression and diminish the risk of cardiorenal complications. Employing combination therapies and embracing a disease-modifying strategy are paramount. Clinical trials provide evidence confirming the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Their use is associated with substantial and durable body weight reduction, exceeding 15%, and improved glucose control which further translate into T2D prevention, possible disease remission, and improvement of cardiometabolic risk factors and associated complications. Therefore, on the basis of clinical experience and current evidence, the Eastern and Southern Europe Diabetes and Obesity Expert Group recommends a personalized, polymodal approach (comprising GLP-1 RAs) tailored to individual patient's disease phenotype to optimize diabetes and obesity therapy. We also expect that the increasing availability of dual GLP-1/glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists will significantly contribute to the modern management of the cardiometabolic continuum.

Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2024; 200:114339.

Abstract
Peptides, despite their therapeutic potential, face challenges with undesirable pharmacokinetic (PK) properties and biodistribution, including poor oral absorption and cellular uptake, and short plasma elimination half-lives. Lipidation of peptides is a common strategy to improve their physicochemical and PK properties, making them viable drug candidates. For example, the plasma half-life of peptides has been extended via conjugation to lipids that are proposed to promote binding to serum albumin and thus protect against rapid clearance. Recent work has shown that lipid conjugation to oligodeoxynucleotides, polymers and small molecule drugs results in association not only with albumin, but also with lipoproteins, resulting in half-life prolongation and transport from administration sites via the lymphatics. Enhancing delivery into the lymph increases the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics with lymphatic targets such as immunotherapies. In this study, the plasma PK, lymphatic uptake, and bioavailability of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist peptides, liraglutide (lipidated) and exenatide (non-lipidated), were investigated following subcutaneous (SC) administration to rats. As expected, liraglutide displayed an apparent prolonged plasma half-life (9.1 versus 1 h), delayed peak plasma concentrations and lower bioavailability (∼10 % versus ∼100 %) compared to exenatide after SC administration. The lymphatic uptake of both peptides was relatively low (<0.5 % of the dose) although lymph to plasma concentration ratios were greater than one for several early timepoints suggesting some direct uptake into lymph. The low lymphatic uptake may be due to the nature of the conjugated lipid (a single-chain C16 palmitic acid in liraglutide) but suggests that other peptides with similar lipid conjugations may also have relatively modest lymphatic uptake. If delivery to the lymph is desired, conjugation to more lipophilic moieties with higher albumin and/or lipoprotein binding efficiencies, such as diacylglycerols, may be appropriate.

Abstract
AIMS Postprandial hyperglycemia can be problematic for people with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) following carbohydrate-restricted diets. Bolus insulin calculated for meal protein plus carbohydrate may help. This study evaluated the effect of additional bolus insulin using an insulin-to-protein ratio (IPR) on glycaemic control. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants with T1DM aged ≥18-years were randomly allocated (1:1) to either carbohydrate and protein-based, or carbohydrate-based insulin dosing alone for 12 weeks while following a carbohydrate-restricted diet (50-100 g/day). Measurement of HbA1c and continuous glucose monitoring occurred at baseline and 12 weeks, with assessment of participant experience at 12 weeks. RESULTS Thirty-four participants were randomised, 22 female, mean(SD): age 39.2 years (12.6) years; diabetes duration 20.6 years (12.9); HbA1c 7.3 % (0.8), 56.7 mmol/mol (9.2). Seven in each group used insulin pump therapy. HbA1c reduced at 12 weeks with no difference between treatments: mean (SD) control 7.2 % (1.0), 55.7 mmol/mol (10.6); intervention 6.9 % (0.7), 52.3 mmol/mol (7.2) (p = 0.65). Using additional protein-based insulin dosing compared with carbohydrate alone, there was no difference in glycaemic variability, time spent in euglycemic range (TIR), or below range. Participants using IPR reported more control of their diabetes, but varying levels of distress. CONCLUSIONS Additional bolus insulin using an IPR did not improve glycaemic control or TIR in patients with well controlled T1DM following a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Importantly, the use of the IPR does not increase the risk of hypoglycemia and may be preferred.

Abstract
Insulin, an essential peptide hormone, conjointly regulates blood glucose levels by its receptor and it is used as vital drug to treat diabetes. This therapeutic hormone may undergo different chemical modifications during industrial processes, pharmaceutical formulation, and through its endogenous storage in the pancreatic β-cells. Insulin is highly sensitive to environmental stresses and readily undergoes structural changes, being also able to unfold and aggregate in physiological conditions. Even; small changes altering the structural integrity of insulin may have significant impacts on its biological efficacy to its physiological and pharmacological activities. Insulin analogs have been engineered to achieve modified properties, such as improved stability, solubility, and pharmacokinetics, while preserving the molecular pharmacology of insulin. The casually or purposively strategies of chemical modifications of insulin occurred to improve its therapeutic and pharmaceutical properties. Knowing the effects of chemical modification, formation of aggregates, and nanoparticles on protein can be a new look at the production of protein analogues drugs and its application in living system. The project focused on effects of chemical modifications and nanoparticles on the structure, stability, aggregation and their results in effective drug delivery system, biological activity, and pharmacological properties of insulin. The future challenge in biotechnology and pharmacokinetic arises from the complexity of biopharmaceuticals, which are often molecular structures that require formulation and delivery strategies to ensure their efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist is an emerging anti-diabetic medication whose effects on the risk and progression of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are controversial. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of GLP-1R and its agonists on intrahepatic CCA (iCCA) progression. Expressions of GLP-1R in iCCA tissues investigated by immunohistochemistry showed that GLP-1R expressions were significantly associated with poor histological grading (P = 0.027). iCCA cell lines, KKU-055 and KKU-213A, were treated with exendin-4 and liraglutide, GLP-1R agonists, and their effects on proliferation and migration were assessed. Exendin-4 and liraglutide did not affect CCA cell proliferation in vitro, but liraglutide significantly suppressed the migration of CCA cells, partly by inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition. In contrast, liraglutide significantly reduced CCA tumor volumes and weights in xenografted mice (P = 0.046). GLP-1R appeared downregulated when CCA cells were treated with liraglutide in vitro and in vivo. In addition, liraglutide treatment significantly suppressed Akt and STAT3 signaling in CCA cells, by reducing their phosphorylation levels. These results suggested that liraglutide potentially slows down CCA progression, and further clinical investigation would benefit the treatment of CCA with diabetes mellitus.

Kario K, Hoshide S, Yamamoto K, Okura A, Rakugi H. Clinical studies on pharmacological treatment of hypertension in Japan. J Hum Hypertens 2024; 38:486-499. [PMID: 33963269 DOI: 10.1038/s41371-021-00533-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Differences in the epidemiology and phenotypes of hypertension in Japan compared with Western countries mean that optimal approaches to the pharmacological management of hypertension should be based on local data. Fortunately, there is a large body of evidence from studies conducted in Japanese populations to inform guidelines and treatment decisions. This article highlights treatment recommendations and BP targets for Japanese patients with hypertension, and summarizes key literature supporting these recommendations. The latest version of the Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH) guidelines is consistent with US and European guidelines in recommending that the general BP target should be <130/80 mmHg for office blood pressure (BP) and <125/75 mmHg for home BP. There is good local evidence to support these targets. The JSH guidelines also strongly recommend that antihypertensive therapy is managed and monitored based on home BP, due to the closer association of this parameter with cardiovascular risk compared with office BP. Japan is a leader in out-of-office BP research, meaning that there is good evidence for the Japanese recommendations. Key features of antihypertensive agents for use in Japanese patients with hypertension include the ability to reduce stroke risk provide antihypertensive efficacy throughout the 24-h dosing period. Calcium channel blockers appear to be particularly effective in Asian populations, and are the most commonly prescribed agents in Japan. Again consistent with international recommendations, antihypertensive therapy should be started with a combination of agents to maximize the chances of achieving target BP.

Abstract
Managing non-cardiac comorbidities in heart failure (HF) requires a tailored approach that addresses each patient's specific conditions and needs. Regular communication and coordination among healthcare providers is crucial to providing the best possible care for these patients. Poorly controlled hypertension contributes to left ventricular remodeling and diastolic dysfunction, emphasizing the importance of optimal blood pressure control while avoiding adverse effects. Among HF patients with diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have shown promise in reducing HF-related morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney disease exacerbates HF and vice versa, forming the vicious cardiorenal syndrome, so disease-modifying therapies should be maintained in HF patients with comorbid CKD, even with transient changes in kidney function. Anemia in HF patients may be multifactorial, and there is growing evidence for the benefit of intravenous iron supplementation in HF patients with iron deficiency with or without anemia. Obesity, although a risk factor for HF, paradoxically offers a better prognosis once HF is established, though developing treatment strategies may improve symptoms and cardiac performance. In HF patients with stroke and atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation therapy is recommended. Among HF patients with sleep-disordered breathing, continuous positive airway pressure may improve sleep quality. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often coexists with HF, and many patients can tolerate cardioselective beta-blockers. Cancer patients with comorbid HF require careful consideration of cardiotoxicity risks associated with cancer therapies. Depression is underdiagnosed in HF patients and significantly impacts prognosis. Cognitive impairment is prevalent in HF patients and impacts their self-care and overall quality of life.

Abstract
Metformin is of great focus because of its high safety, low side effects, and various effects other than lowering blood sugar, such as anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, and anti-aging. Studies have shown that metformin has a modulating effect on the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota other than acting on the liver. However, the composition of microbiota is complex and varies to some extent between species and individuals, and the experimental design of each study is also different. Multiple factors present a major obstacle to better comprehending the effects of metformin on the gut microbiota. This paper reviews the regulatory effects of metformin on the gut microbiota, such as increasing the abundance of genus Akkermansia, enriching short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing bacterial genus, and regulating gene expression of certain genera. The intestinal microbiota is a large and vital ecosystem in the human body and is considered to be the equivalent of an "organ" of the human body, which is highly relevant to human health and disease status. There are a lot of evidences that the gut microbiota is responsible for metformin's widespread effects. However, there are only a few systematic studies on this mechanism, and the specific mechanism is still unclear. This paper aims to summarize the possible mechanism of metformin in relation to gut microbiota.

Abstract
Postprandial glucose control can be challenging for individuals with type 1 diabetes, and this can be attributed to many factors, including suboptimal therapy parameters (carbohydrate ratios, correction factors, basal doses) because of physiological changes, meal macronutrients and engagement in postprandial physical activity. This narrative review aims to examine the current postprandial glucose-management strategies tested in clinical trials, including adjusting therapy settings, bolusing for meal macronutrients, adjusting pre-exercise and postexercise meal boluses for postprandial physical activity, and other therapeutic options, for individuals on open-loop and closed-loop therapies. Then we discuss their challenges and future avenues. Despite advancements in insulin delivery devices such as closed-loop systems and decision-support systems, many individuals with type 1 diabetes still struggle to manage their glucose levels. The main challenge is the lack of personalized recommendations, causing suboptimal postprandial glucose control. We suggest that postprandial glucose control can be improved by (i) providing personalized recommendations for meal macronutrients and postprandial activity; (ii) including behavioural recommendations; (iii) using other personalized therapeutic approaches (e.g. glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors, amylin analogues, inhaled insulin) in addition to insulin therapy; and (iv) integrating an interpretability report to explain to individuals about changes in treatment therapy and behavioural recommendations. In addition, we suggest a future avenue to implement precision recommendations for individuals with type 1 diabetes utilizing the potential of deep reinforcement learning and foundation models (such as GPT and BERT), employing different modalities of data including diabetes-related and external background factors (i.e. behavioural, environmental, biological and abnormal events).

Abstract
Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) largely relies on medication adherence of individuals with diabetes to achieve optimal glycemic control. The economic burden of diabetes could impede adherence, leading to a reduction in treatment efficacy and increased risk of complications. Furthermore, monotherapy in diabetes is losing traction due to its ineffectiveness in achieving early and sustained optimal glycemic control in a significant proportion of the population. Hence, clinicians prefer combination treatment due to their improved efficacy and safety. Considering these factors, the current review highlights the safety and efficacy of the affordable combination therapies, a dual therapy, glipizide + metformin, and a triple-drug combination of glimepiride + metformin + pioglitazone and its applicability in the management of T2DM among individuals with diabetes in India.

Abstract
Despite the advent of innovative therapies in the treatment of diabetes, ever-increasing awareness is still directed to the role of insulin since it has continued to be at the centre of diabetes therapy for decades, as a therapeutic integration of innovative agents in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as the only replacement therapy in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and also in gestational diabetes. In this context, the study of molecules such as weekly basal insulins, both for their technological and pharmacodynamic innovation and their manageability and undoubted benefits in compliance with drug therapy, can only be a turning point in diabetes and for all its phenotypes. This review aims to provide insight into the knowledge of basal weekly insulins and their use in type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus by examining their safety, efficacy, manageability and increased therapeutic compliance.

Abstract
Amaranth is a pseudocereal rich in macronutrients and micronutrients, with about 60 species cultivated worldwide. It is a high nutritional value food because of its many essential amino acids. Recent investigations demonstrate that the phytochemicals and extracts of amaranth have beneficial effects on health, including antidiabetic potential, a decrease in plasmatic cholesterol and blood pressure, and protection from oxidative stress and inflammation. Nowadays, type 2 diabetes has increased worldwide, becoming a problem of public health that makes it necessary to look for alternative strategies for its prevention and treatment. This review aims to summarize the antidiabetic potential of diverse species of the Amaranth genus. A bibliographical review was updated on the plant's therapeutic potential, including stem, leaves, and seeds, to know the benefits and potential as an adjuvant in treating and managing diabetes and associated pathologies (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and heart disease). This analysis contributes to the generation of knowledge about the therapeutic effects of amaranth, promoting the creation of new products, and the opportunity to conduct clinical trials to assess their safety and efficacy.

Effects of Prior Metformin Use on Stroke Outcomes in Diabetes Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Endovascular Treatment. Biomedicines 2024; 12:745.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) predisposes individuals to vascular injury, leading to poor outcomes after ischemic stroke and symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (SHT) after thrombolytic and endovascular treatment (EVT). Metformin (MET), an oral antidiabetic drug, has shown potential neuroprotective effects, but its impact on stroke prognosis in DM patients undergoing EVT remains unclear. In a multicenter study, 231 patients with DM undergoing EVT for acute ischemic stroke were enrolled. Prior MET use was identified, and patients were stratified into MET+ and MET- groups. Demographics, clinical data, and outcomes were compared between groups. Multivariate analysis was used to assess the effect of MET on stroke prognosis. Of the enrolled patients, 59.3% were previously on MET. MET+ patients had lower initial infarct volumes and NIHSS scores compared to MET-taking patients. Multivariate analysis showed that MET+ was associated with a lower risk of stroke progression and SHT (with stroke progression as follows: odd ratio [OR] 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.12-0.48], p < 0.001; SHT: OR 0.33, 95% CI [0.14-0.75], p = 0.01) and was also associated with better 3-month functional outcomes (mRS 0-2) after EVT. Prestroke MET use in DM patients undergoing EVT is associated with improved stroke prognosis, including reduced risk of stroke progression and SHT and better functional outcomes. These findings suggest the potential neuroprotective role of MET in this population and highlight its clinical utility as an adjunctive therapy in the management of ischemic stroke. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and to optimize MET therapy in this setting.

Abstract
Aim Insulin titration often faces inertia, hindering glycemic control. A patient-centered approach empowers patients to overcome this inertia. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of patient-preferred and guideline-recommended self-titration algorithms in achieving glycemic targets and improving adherence. Methods Outpatients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who did not respond to oral antihyperglycemic drugs (OAD) were assessed. They were randomly assigned to patient-preferred and guideline-recommended groups. In the patient-preferred group, individuals selected an algorithm to self-adjust their insulin glargine dosage by 2 units every 3 days if the mean fasting blood glucose (FBG) over the past 3 consecutive days was ≥7.0 mmol/L, or by 1 unit daily if the FBG on the same day was ≥7.0 mmol/L. In the guideline-recommended group, insulin glargine was titrated by 2 units every 3 days if the mean FBG over the past 3 consecutive days was ≥7.0 mmol/L. The FBG target was set below <7.0 mmol/L. Results Thirty-nine participants in the patient-preferred group and 42 in the guideline-recommended group completed the study. The cumulative rates of achieving the FBG target in the patient-preferred group compared to the guideline-recommended group were 69.2% vs 54.8% (χ²=1.792, p=0.181) in week 1, 89.7% vs 73.8% (χ²=3.403, p = 0.065) in week 2, 94.9% vs 76.2% (χ²=17.638, p=0.000) in week 3, and 100.0% vs 88.1% (χ²=4.405, p=0.036) in week 4. Adherence rates were significantly higher in the patient-preferred group (97.4%, 37/38) compared to the guideline-recommended group (66.7%, 28/42) (χ²=12.688, p=0.000). Insulin glargine dosage at FBG target achievement was 21.2±4.3 U in the patient-preferred group and 18.8±6.7 U in the guideline-recommended group (t=1.888, p=0.063). Hypoglycemia was reported in 1 patient in the guideline-recommended group, with no instances in the patient-preferred group. Conclusion The patient-preferred self-titration algorithm demonstrates a higher rate of reaching glucose targets and improved adherence. Trial Registration Number ChiCTR2100050805.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent studies suggested a protective role of metformin in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its precursors. We aimed to investigate if metformin was associated with a lower prevalence and number of colorectal polyps in diabetic patients and also adenomas, high-risk adenomas, and CRC. METHODS Retrospective study on adult patients with diabetes mellitus followed in our hospital with a total colonoscopy between 2015 and 2019, treated with either metformin for > 5 years or other antidiabetic agent (control group). We assessed the number, size, and histopathology examination of proliferative lesions detected on colonoscopy. RESULTS We included 401 patients aged 69 ± 9 years, 57% males, divided into two groups: treated with metformin (n = 260) and without (n = 141). The number of polyps detected was significantly lower in patients under metformin (p = 0.014). There was a nonsignificant trend towards lower polyp detection rates in the metformin compared to the control group both in unadjusted analysis (50% vs 60%, p = 0.058) and multivariable adjusted analysis (odds ratio [OR] 0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.43-1.09, p = 0.111). In the latter, we identified male gender (OR 2.24, 95%CI 1.44-3.49, p < 0.001), age (OR 1.35 for every 10 years, 95%CI 1.07-1.71, p = 0.012), glycated hemoglobin value (OR 1.20 for every 1% increase, 95%CI 1.06-1.37, p = 0.005), and hypertension (OR 1.76, 95%CI 1.01-3.08, p = 0.046) as factors associated with a higher prevalence of polyps. We saw no statistically significant differences regarding adenoma (p = 0.231), high-risk adenoma (p = 0.810), and CRC (p = 0.705) diagnoses between groups. CONCLUSION In our study, metformin was associated with less colorectal polyps in diabetic patients compared to other treatment modalities. We observed a nonsignificant trend towards lower polyp detection rates in the metformin group both in unadjusted and adjusted analyses.

New-onset syncope in diabetic patients treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors: a Chinese population-based cohort study. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. CARDIOVASCULAR PHARMACOTHERAPY 2024; 10:103-117. [PMID: 37962962 DOI: 10.1093/ehjcvp/pvad086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Syncope is a symptom that poses an important diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, and generates significant cost for the healthcare system. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated beneficial cardiovascular effects, but their possible effects on incident syncope have not been fully investigated. This study compared the effects of SGLT2i and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) on new-onset syncope. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a retrospective, territory-wide cohort study enrolling type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients treated with SGLT2i or DPP4i between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2020, in Hong Kong, China. The outcomes were hospitalization of new-onset syncope, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox regression and different approaches using the propensity score were applied to evaluate the association between SGLT2i and DPP4i with incident syncope and mortality. After matching, a total of 37 502 patients with T2DM were included (18 751 SGLT2i users vs. 18 751 DPP4i users). During a median follow-up of 5.56 years, 907 patients were hospitalized for new-onset syncope (2.41%), and 2346 patients died from any cause (6.26%), among which 471 deaths (1.26%) were associated with cardiovascular causes. Compared with DPP4i users, SGLT2i therapy was associated with a 51% lower risk of new-onset syncope [HR 0.49; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-0.57; P < 0.001], 65% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.35; 95% CI 0.26-0.46; P < 0.001), and a 70% lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR 0.30; 95% CI 0.26-0.34; P < 0.001) in the fully adjusted model. Similar associations with syncope were observed for dapagliflozin (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.58-0.85; P < 0.001), canagliflozin (HR 0.48; 95% CI 0.36-0.63; P < 0.001), and ertugliflozin (HR 0.45; 95% CI 0.30-0.68; P < 0.001), but were attenuated for empagliflozin (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.59-1.05; P = 0.100) after adjusting for potential confounders. The subgroup analyses suggested that, compared with DPP4i, SGLT2i was associated with a significantly decreased risk of incident syncope among T2DM patients, regardless of gender, age, glucose control status, Charlson comorbidity index, and the association remained constant amongst those with common cardiovascular drugs and most antidiabetic drugs at baseline. CONCLUSION Compared with DPP4i, SGLT2i was associated with a significantly lower risk of new-onset syncope in patients with T2DM, regardless of gender, age, degree of glycaemic control, and comorbidity burden.

Abstract
PURPOSE This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for type 1 diabetes. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane until 23 February 2023 for randomized controlled trials that compared anti-CD3 mAbs with placebo in type 1 diabetes. The primary outcome was the area under the curve (AUC) of C-peptide, daily insulin dose or HbA1c. RESULTS Totally 12 trials that included 1870 participants were eligible for inclusion in the review. Compared with the control group, anti-CD3 mAbs increased AUC of C-peptide at 1 year (P = 0.0005, MD 0.14, 95% CI [0.06, 0.22], I2 = 94%), and 2 years (P = 0.0003, MD 0.20, 95% CI [0.09, 0.30], I2 = 88%). The use of anti-CD3 mAbs decreased insulin use at 1 year (P = 0.001, MD -0.09, 95% CI [-0.15, -0.04], I2 = 90%), and 2 years (P < 0.00001, MD -0.18, 95% CI [-0.25, -0.12], I2 = 86%). But there was no statistically significant effect on HbA1c levels. Vomiting, nausea, rash, pyrexia and headache were reported more frequently with anti-CD3 mAbs than with placebo. However, incidence of total adverse events and serious adverse events was similar when comparing anti-CD3 mAbs with placebo. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that anti-CD3 mAbs were a potential therapy for improving AUC of C-peptide and insulin use in type 1 diabetes.

Identification of Predictors of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Its Severity in Individuals Undergoing Bariatric Surgery. Obes Surg 2024; 34:456-466. [PMID: 38097891 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06986-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As obesity reached epidemic proportions, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) also had a worrisome parallel increase. The non-invasive differentiation of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) from uncomplicated NAFLD remains an important challenge in current clinical practice. OBJECTIVE To identify predictors of the occurrence and severity of NAFLD and NASH. METHODS This is an analytical cross-sectional study which included individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Participants were histologically classified according to the presence NASH and severity of NAFLD. Demographic, clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical aspects were analyzed and compared. RESULTS Out of 171 individuals, 87.7% were female and the mean age was 38.4±9.3 years. The average BMI was 38±3.0 kg/m2. NAFLD was histologically confirmed in 74.9%; the commonest histopathological abnormalities were macrovesicular steatosis (74.9%) and ballooning (40.4%). Simple steatosis occurred in 30.4%, 44.4% presented with NASH, and 31% had severe NAFLD. NASH associated with higher levels of ALT (0.03), ALP (0.02), and glucose (0.02). Cutoff values were, respectively, 23 U/L, 67 U/L, and 81 mg/dL. Their concomitant use provided an 83.1% specificity for NASH. Severe NAFLD associated with diabetes (p=0.02), higher BMI (p=0.01), AST (p=0.04), ALT (p<0.01), ALP (p=0.01), glucose (p=0.02), and ferritin (p<0.01). BMI over 39.3 kg/m2 and ferritin over 178 ng/mL concomitantly provided a 70.5% accuracy for severe NAFLD. CONCLUSIONS NASH and severe NAFLD associated with higher levels of ALT, ALP, and glucose. Severe NAFLD associated with higher BMI and higher ferritin levels in this group. The concomitant evaluation of these laboratory tests could help ruling out NASH and safely screening severe NAFLD.

Combined effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor and angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor on renal function in cardiovascular disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective cohort study. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 14:1326611. [PMID: 38274236 PMCID: PMC10808758 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1326611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) have shown a significant protective role against cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and there is a growing proportion of patients who are undergoing combined therapy with the two drugs. However, the effect of this combination treatment on renal function has not yet been determined. Methods This study included 539 patients who were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease combined with T2DM. According to the use of SGLT2i and ARNI, patients were divided into the combination treatment group, SGLT2i group, ARNI group and control group. Primary outcomes were serum creatinine (Scr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) changes in the 6th month and 12th month. Results In the ARNI group, no significant changes in Scr or eGFR were observed during the follow-up period, while the above indicators showed a trend of deterioration in the other three groups. The univariate analysis results showed that at 6 months of follow-up, the renal function indicators of patients treated with ARNI (either alone or in combination) were better than those treated with SGLT2i alone. After 12 months of follow-up, the Scr results were the same as before, while the difference in eGFR between groups disappeared. After multivariate analysis, in terms of delaying the progression of Scr, the ARNI group was superior to the other groups at the end of follow-up. No significant difference in eGFR was observed between groups during follow-up. Conclusion In patients with cardiovascular disease and T2DM, combination therapy with ARNI and SGLT2i did not show an advantage over monotherapy in delaying renal insufficiency progression, and renal function seems to be better preserved in patients treated with ARNI alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised the labels of sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in December 2015 to inform users regarding the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). As more drugs of this class are approved and their indications are expanded, this serious adverse effect has been increasingly reported. OBJECTIVE This review evaluated observational studies to inform the prevalence of SGLT2-inhibitor-associated DKA compared with other antihyperglycemic agents. METHODS A systematic review was conducted in PubMed and EMBASE until 19 July 2022 (PROSPERO: CRD42022385425). We included published retrospective cohort active comparator/new user (ACNU) and prevalent new user studies assessing SGLT2-inhibitor-associated DKA prevalence in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) against active comparators. We excluded studies which lacked 1:1 propensity score matching. The JBI Checklist for Cohort Studies guided the risk-of-bias assessments. Meta-analysis was conducted based on the inverse variance method in R software. RESULTS Sixteen studies with a sample of 2,956,100 nonunique patients met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were conducted in North America (n = 9) and adopted the ACNU design (n = 15). Meta-analysis of 14 studies identified 33% higher DKA risk associated with SGLT2 inhibitors (HR = 1.33, 95% CI: 1.14-1.55, P < 0.01). Meta-regression analysis identified the study location (P = 0.02), analysis principle (P < 0.001), exclusion of chronic comorbidities (P = 0.007), and canagliflozin (P = 0.04) as significant moderator variables. CONCLUSIONS Despite limitations related to heterogeneity, generalizability, and misclassification, the results of this study show that SGLT2 inhibitors increase the prevalence of DKA among adult T2DM patients in the real world. The findings supplement evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and call for continued vigilance.

Abstract
Achieving glycemic control and sustaining functional pancreatic β-cell activity remains an unmet medical need in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Glucokinase activators (GKAs) constitute a class of anti-diabetic drugs designed to regulate blood sugar levels and enhance β-cell function in patients with diabetes. A significant progression in GKA development is underway to address the limitations of earlier generations. Dorzagliatin, a dual-acting GKA, targets both the liver and pancreas and has successfully completed two phase III trials, demonstrating favorable results in diabetes treatment. The hepato-selective GKA, TTP399, emerges as a strong contender, displaying clinically noteworthy outcomes with minimal adverse effects. This paper seeks to review the current literature, delve into the mechanisms of action of these new-generation GKAs, and assess their efficacy and safety in treating T2DM based on published preclinical studies and recent clinical trials.

Abstract
AIM This study examined the association between cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (COX2i) use and diabetes progression in people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We conducted a nation-wide cohort study using an Australian diabetes registry linked to medication dispensing data. We assessed time to diabetes treatment intensification among new users of COX2i compared to mild opioids. Inverse probability of treatment-weighted Cox regression models were used to adjust for age, sex, time since diabetes diagnosis, comorbidities, and socio-economic disadvantage. We conducted several sensitivity analyses, including per-protocol analyses and comparing use of any NSAID to mild opioids. RESULTS There were 8,071 new users of COX2i and 7,623 of mild opioids with 4,168 diabetes treatment intensifications over a median follow-up of 1.6 years. Use of COX2i was associated with decreased risk of treatment intensification when compared to mild opioids (HR 0.91, 95 %CI 0.85-0.96). The results were not significant in the per-protocol analyses. Use of any NSAID was associated with a lower risk of treatment intensification compared to mild opioids (HR 0.90, 95 %CI 0.85-0.96). CONCLUSIONS Treatment with COX2i may be associated with a modest decreased risk of diabetes treatment intensification compared to mild opioids. Future clinical studies are required to confirm whether COX2 inhibition has clinically significant benefits for glycaemic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aimed to evaluate the differences in some cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors between adult patients without and with phenylketonuria (PKU) and to explore the correlation between waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) with the previous variables. METHODS This was an observational case-control study that included patients older than 18 years with a diagnosis of classic PKU. The controls were age- and sex-matched individuals. We collected demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory variables, including WC, BMI, and lipid profile parameters. RESULTS A total of 72 patients (25 controls and 47 cases) were included with a mean age of 36 years, of which 45 (62%) were women. Adult PKU patients showed lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and higher triglyceride (TG) levels than the control group. We found an association between WC and uric acid (B=0.024, P=0.013, 95%CI: 0.005-0.043), TG (B=0.768, P=0.024, 95%CI: 0.107-1.428), and HDL-c (B=-0.254, P=0.026, 95%CI: -0.477 to (-0.032)) levels in PKU patients. However, we did not find any trend between WC and uric acid, TG and HDL-c levels that reached statistical significance (P<0.05) in patients without PKU. CONCLUSIONS Waist circumference rather than BMI may better represent the CVR in patients with PKU.

Abstract
To examine whether psychosocial needs in diabetes care are associated with carbohydrate counting and if carbohydrate counting is associated with satisfaction with diabetes applications' usability, a randomized crossover trial of 92 adults with type 1 or 2 diabetes requiring insulin therapy tested two top-rated diabetes applications, mySugr and OnTrack Diabetes. Survey responses on demographics, psychosocial needs (perceived competence, autonomy, and connectivity), carbohydrate-counting frequency, and application satisfaction were modeled using mixed-effect linear regressions to test associations. Participants ranged between 19 and 74 years old (mean, 54 years) and predominantly had type 2 diabetes (70%). Among the three tested domains of psychosocial needs, only competence-not autonomy or connectivity-was found to be associated with carbohydrate-counting frequency. No association between carbohydrate-counting behavior and application satisfaction was found. In conclusion, perceived competence in diabetes care is an important factor in carbohydrate counting; clinicians may improve adherence to carbohydrate counting with strategies designed to improve perceived competence. Carbohydrate-counting behavior is complex; its impact on patient satisfaction of diabetes application usability is multifactorial and warrants consideration of patient demographics such as sex as well as application features for automated carbohydrate counting.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) are incretin agents initially designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus but because of pleiotropic actions are now used to reduce cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and in some instances as approved treatments for obesity. In this review we highlight the biology and pharmacology of GLP1RA. We review the evidence for clinical benefit on major adverse cardiovascular outcomes in addition to modulation of cardiometabolic risk factors including reductions in weight, blood pressure, improvement in lipid profiles, and effects on kidney function. Guidance is provided on indications and potential adverse effects to consider. Finally, we describe the evolving landscape of GLP1RA and including novel glucagon-like peptide-1-based dual/polyagonist therapies that are being evaluated for weight loss, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiorenal benefit.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterized by atherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities and is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in addition to disabling clinical sequelae, including intermittent claudication and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Given the growing burden of disease, knowledge of modern practices to prevent MACE and major adverse limb events (MALE) is essential. This review article examines evidence for medical management of PAD and its associated risk factors, as well as wound prevention and care. METHODS A thorough review of the literature was performed, with attention to evidence for the management of modifiable atherosclerotic risk factors, claudication symptoms, wound prevention, and wound care. RESULTS Contemporary management of PAD requires a multi-faceted approach to care, with medical optimization of smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. The use of supervised exercise therapy for intermittent claudication is highlighted. The anatomic disease patterns of smoking and diabetes mellitus are discussed further, and best practices for diabetic foot ulcer prevention, including offloading footwear, are described. Quality wound care is essential in this patient population and involves strategic use of debridement, wound-healing adjuncts, and skin substitutes, when appropriate. CONCLUSION The objective of medical management of PAD is to reduce the risk of MACE and MALE. Atherosclerotic risk factor optimization, appropriate wound care, and management of diabetic foot ulcers, foot infections, gangrene, and chronic, non-healing wounds are critical components of PAD care. Interdisciplinary care is essential to coordinate care, leverage expertise, and improve outcomes.

Abstract
Context Both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have significant genetic contributions to risk and understanding their overlap can offer clinical insight. Objective We examined whether a T1D polygenic score (PS) was associated with a diagnosis of T2D in the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium. Methods We constructed a T1D PS using 79 known single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with T1D risk. We analyzed 13 792 T2D cases and 14 169 controls from CHARGE cohorts to determine the association between the T1D PS and T2D prevalence. We validated findings in an independent sample of 2256 T2D cases and 27 052 controls from the Mass General Brigham Biobank (MGB Biobank). As secondary analyses in 5228 T2D cases from CHARGE, we used multivariable regression models to assess the association of the T1D PS with clinical outcomes associated with T1D. Results The T1D PS was not associated with T2D both in CHARGE (P = .15) and in the MGB Biobank (P = .87). The partitioned human leukocyte antigens only PS was associated with T2D in CHARGE (OR 1.02 per 1 SD increase in PS, 95% CI 1.01-1.03, P = .006) but not in the MGB Biobank. The T1D PS was weakly associated with insulin use (OR 1.007, 95% CI 1.001-1.012, P = .03) in CHARGE T2D cases but not with other outcomes. Conclusion In large biobank samples, a common variant PS for T1D was not consistently associated with prevalent T2D. However, possible heterogeneity in T2D cannot be ruled out and future studies are needed do subphenotyping.

Abstract
This study analyzes the most relevant authors, sources, cooccurrence of keywords, thematic map, and trend topics of the most recent and most cited research papers on semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). Also, the content of the 25 most cited papers is summarized. A total of 2995 results appeared in an online electronic search performed on 14 August 2023 in the Scopus database using the term semaglutide. The most recently published 500 articles and most cited 200 documents were selected for bibliometric analysis. Network analysis visualization was conducted with the help of the VOSviewer software (version 1.6.18) (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden, the Netherlands) and Biblioshiny (it is a shiny application providing a web interface for bibliometrix) (Department of Economics and Statistics, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy). After excluding duplicates and editorials, the data analysis found that 495 most recent documents were published in 279 journals by 2461 authors, and 200 most cited papers were published in 103 sources by 1241 authors. There is an increasing trend in the number of research papers from 2014 to 2022, with a peak in 2022. The most relevant authors in the most recent semaglutide research papers are Chen and Zhang. The pertinent authors of the most cited research papers on semaglutide are Lingvay and Khunti. The most common keywords used in the most recent and most cited research papers are semaglutide, obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2, glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, antidiabetic agent, liraglutide, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The most relevant source is "Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism" for the research papers on semaglutide. Trend topic analysis suggests that most of the research between 2020 and 2022 on semaglutide was done on non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The most cited papers provide essential insights into using semaglutide in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and related conditions, along with their potential benefits, side effects, and possible mechanisms of action. This analysis highlights that the pharmacological effects of semaglutide extend beyond its role as a glycemic regulator.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on liver fat content (LFC) and pancreatic fat content (PFC). MATERIALS AND METHODS 84 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were randomly assigned to receive either dapagliflozin (n = 42) or serve as controls (n = 42). The primary endpoint is changes in LFC and PFC using magnetic resonance imaging estimated proton density fat fraction. Secondary outcomes include liver fibrosis index, inflammatory cytokine levels, and liver enzyme levels. RESULTS At week 24, the dapagliflozin group significantly reduced LFC (P < 0.001) and PFC (P = 0.033) compared to the control group. Differences were also observed in serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (P = 0.004), interleukin-6 (IL-6) (P = 0.001), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P < 0.001) between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin can significantly decrease LFC and PFC in patients with T2D and NAFLD. It also improves serum ALT, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels, making it a promising treatment option for NAFLD. The trial is registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration No. ChiCTR2100054612).

Abstract
(1) Objective: This case-control study investigated body image dissatisfaction, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adults with type 1 diabetes. (2) Methods: A total of 35 adults with diabetes and an equal number of age- and gender-matched controls were included. Assessment tools used were the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the RAND 36-Item Health Survey. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed. (3) Results: Body image dissatisfaction did not differ significantly between the groups. However, adults with diabetes reported higher levels of depression (p = 0.002) and lower scores for physical health (p = 0.015) and general health (p < 0.001) on the HRQoL measure. Qualitative analysis identified common themes related to physical disturbance, effect on activities, and psychosocial concerns. (4) Conclusions: Despite similar body image dissatisfaction, adults with type 1 diabetes exhibited increased depression and reduced HRQoL. These findings emphasize the need to integrate psychological well-being into type 1 diabetes management. They also support further research into the impact of body image dissatisfaction in T1D and potential interventions to address it.

Abstract
Objective To systematically estimate and compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) approved in China and to quantify the relationship between the burden of diabetic comorbidities and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) or body mass index (BMI). Methods To estimate the costs (US dollars, USD) and quality-adjusted life years (QALY) for six GLP-1RAs (exenatide, loxenatide, lixisenatide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, and liraglutide) combined with metformin in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which is inadequately controlled on metformin from the Chinese healthcare system perspective, a discrete event microsimulation cost-effectiveness model based on the Chinese Hong Kong Integrated Modeling and Evaluation (CHIME) simulation model was developed. A cohort of 30,000 Chinese patients was established, and one-way sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) with 50,000 iterations were conducted considering parameter uncertainty. Scenario analysis was conducted considering the impacts of research time limits. A network meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effects of six GLP-1RAs on HbA1c, BMI, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. The incremental net monetary benefit (INMB) between therapies was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness. China's per capita GDP in 2021 was used as the willingness-to-pay threshold. A generalized linear model was used to quantify the relationship between the burden of diabetic comorbidities and HbA1c or BMI. Results During a lifetime, the cost for a patient ranged from USD 42,092 with loxenatide to USD 47,026 with liraglutide, while the QALY gained ranged from 12.50 with dulaglutide to 12.65 with loxenatide. Compared to exenatide, the INMB of each drug from highest to lowest were: loxenatide (USD 1,124), dulaglutide (USD -1,418), lixisenatide (USD -1,713), semaglutide (USD -4,298), and liraglutide (USD -4,672). Loxenatide was better than the other GLP-1RAs in the base-case analysis. Sensitivity and scenario analysis results were consistent with the base-case analysis. Overall, the price of GLP-1RAs most affected the results. Medications with effective control of HbA1c or BMI were associated with a significantly smaller disease burden (p < 0.05). Conclusion Loxenatide combined with metformin was identified as the most economical choice, while the long-term health benefits of patients taking the six GLP-1RAs are approximate.

Abstract
We aimed to assess the effect of glycemic control on diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) healing. A prospective nested cohort study was employed of individuals with poorly controlled diabetes (glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] >9%) and neuropathic DFU of >2-week duration. All individuals received standard diabetes and ulcer interventions for 12 weeks. Baseline demographic characteristics, ulcer area (automated assessment by wound zoom camera), and biochemical parameters were analyzed. The cohort was stratified into ulcer healed and unhealed groups. Ulcer area and glycemic parameters at 4 and 12 weeks on follow up were compared. Forty-three individuals (47 DFU) with baseline HbA1c 11.6% and ulcer area 9.87 cm2 were enrolled. After 12 weeks, mean HbA1c was 7.2%, 17 ulcers closed (healed group) and 30 ulcers did not close (unhealed group). The median time to ulcer healing was 10 weeks. Individuals in the healed group had lower fasting blood glucose (P = .010), postprandial blood glucose (P = .006), and HbA1c at 4 weeks (P = .001), and 12 weeks (0.018) compared to the unhealed group. Cox-regression analysis that revealed lower baseline ulcer area (P = .013) and HbA1c at 4 weeks (P = .009) significantly predicted DFU healing by 12 weeks. Baseline ulcer area of >10.58 cm2 and HbA1c at 4 weeks of >8.15% predicted delayed DFU healing. In conclusion, early and intensive glycemic control in the first 4 weeks of treatment initiation is associated with greater healing of DFU independent of initial ulcer area.

Abstract
Background Empagliflozin is a sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor recommended by the American Diabetes Association for outpatient use. Support for its inpatient role is not well established due to possible safety concerns. Methods This was a retrospective study at an academic medical center between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021, evaluating the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin compared to other oral antihyperglycemic agents. Patients with established heart failure with or without diabetes were included if they received at least one dose of oral antihyperglycemic agent with 48 hours of fingerstick blood glucose checks during the hospitalization. A total of 227 patients were included. The primary endpoint was a composite of adverse events including urinary tract infection, acute kidney injury, diabetic ketoacidosis, renal replacement therapy, and necrotizing fasciitis. Additional endpoints included daily insulin requirements, hypoglycemia, and hypotension. Results Rates of composite adverse events were similar between the empagliflozin group and other oral antihyperglycemic agents (19.3% vs. 12.6% respectively, P = 0.17). There were no instances of renal replacement therapy, diabetic ketoacidosis, or necrotizing fasciitis. The secondary endpoint of basal insulin requirements showed no differences between the two groups. In the empagliflozin cohort, more patients experienced hypotension (23.4% vs. 7.8%; P < 0.01). Conclusion This real-world study of empagliflozin use in the inpatient setting found no significant differences in safety endpoints between empagliflozin and other oral antihyperglycemic agents. Larger-scale studies need to be performed before the use of empagliflozin can be routinely recommended in the inpatient setting.

Protein supplementation changes gut microbial diversity and derived metabolites in subjects with type 2 diabetes. iScience 2023; 26:107471. [PMID: 37599833 PMCID: PMC10432813 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
High-protein diets are promoted for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, effects of dietary protein interventions on (gut-derived) metabolites in T2D remains understudied. We therefore performed a multi-center, randomized-controlled, isocaloric protein intervention with 151 participants following either 12-week high-protein (HP; 30Energy %, N = 78) vs. low-protein (LP; 10 Energy%, N = 73) diet. Primary objectives were dietary effects on glycemic control which were determined via glycemic excursions, continuous glucose monitors and HbA1c. Secondary objectives were impact of diet on gut microbiota composition and -derived metabolites which were determined by shotgun-metagenomics and mass spectrometry. Analyses were performed using delta changes adjusting for center, baseline, and kidney function when appropriate. This study found that a short-term 12-week isocaloric protein modulation does not affect glycemic parameters or weight in metformin-treated T2D. However, the HP diet slightly worsened kidney function, increased alpha-diversity, and production of potentially harmful microbiota-dependent metabolites, which may affect host metabolism upon prolonged exposure.

Early Identification and Management of Heart Failure in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in the United Arab Emirates: A Call to Action. J Saudi Heart Assoc 2023; 35:192-199. [PMID: 38318530 PMCID: PMC10842021 DOI: 10.37616/2212-5043.1342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that remains widely under-recognized. Multidisciplinary management protocols for patients with concurrent DM and HF are not widely utilized in the Middle East/Gulf region, particularly in the United Arab Emirates. Since early identification of patients with DM and HF will likely lead to initiation of therapies known to prevent adverse cardiovascular events and subsequently improve patient prognosis, we aim to highlight the importance of early recognition of HF in diabetic patients. We will also describe existing management challenges in the region, especially the lack of multidisciplinary care and emphasize the role of newer anti-diabetic therapies in preventing and treating HF. Most importantly, this call-to-action proposes a collaborative approach to the care of diabetic patients with HF involving primary care physicians, endocrinologists, and cardiologists.

Eur J Clin Invest 2023; 53:e13997. [PMID: 37002856 DOI: 10.1111/eci.13997] [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: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of consensus on prescribing alternatives to initial metformin therapy and intensification therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. This review aimed to identify/quantify factors associated with prescribing of specific antidiabetic drug classes for T2DM. METHODS Five databases (Medline/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science) were searched using the synonyms of each concept (patients with T2DM, antidiabetic drugs and factors influencing prescribing) in both free text and Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) forms. Quantitative observational studies evaluating factors associated with antidiabetic prescribing of metformin, sulfonylurea, thiazolidinedione, Dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4-I), sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2-I), Glucagon-Like peptide receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) and insulin in outpatient settings and published from January 2009 to January 2021 were included. Quality assessment was performed using a Newcastle-Ottawa scale. The validation was done for 20% of identified studies. The pooled estimate was measured using a three-level random-effect meta-analysis model based on odds ratio [95% confidence interval]. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), glycaemic control (HbA1c) and kidney-related problems were quantified. RESULTS Of 2331 identified studies, 40 met the selection criteria. Of which, 36 and 31 studies included sex and age, respectively, while 20 studies examined baseline BMI, HbA1c and kidney-related problems. The majority of studies (77.5%, 31/40) were rated as good and despite that the overall heterogeneity for each studied factor was more than 75%, it is mostly related to within-study variance. Older age was significantly associated with higher sulfonylurea prescription (1.51 [1.29-1.76]), yet lower prescribing of metformin (0.70 [0.60-0.82]), SGLT2-I (0.57 [0.42-0.79]) and GLP1-RA (0.52 [0.40-0.69]); while higher baseline BMI showed opposite significant results (sulfonylurea: 0.76 [0.62-0.93], metformin: 1.22 [1.08-1.37], SGLT2-I: 1.88 [1.33-2.68], and GLP1-RA: 2.35 [1.54-3.59]). Both higher baseline HbA1c and having kidney-related problems were significantly associated with lower metformin prescription (0.74 [0.57-0.97], 0.39 [0.25-0.61]), but more insulin prescriptions (2.41 [1.87-3.10], 1.52 [1.10-2.10]). Also, DPP4-I prescriptions were higher for patients with kidney-related problems (1.37 [1.06-1.79]) yet lower among patients with higher HbA1c (0.82 [0.68-0.99]). Sex was significantly associated with GLP1-RA and thiazolidinedione prescribing (F:M; 1.38 [1.19-1.60] and 0.91 [0.84-0.98]). CONCLUSION Several factors were identified as potential determinants of antidiabetic drug prescribing. The magnitude and significance of each factor differed by antidiabetic class. Patient's age and baseline BMI had the most significant association with the choice of four out of the seven studied antidiabetic drugs followed by the baseline HbA1c and kidney-related problems which had an impact on three studied antidiabetic drugs, whereas sex had the least impact on prescribing decision as it was associated with GLP1-RA and thiazolidinedione only.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate if metformin use is associated with decreased odds of developing new non-neovascular ("dry") age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Case-control study examining 194,135 cases with diagnoses of new-onset AMD between 2008 and 2017 and 193,990 matched controls in the Merative MarketScan Research Databases. The diabetic subgroup included 49,988 cases and 49,460 controls. Multivariable conditional logistic regressions identified the risks of exposures on the development of dry AMD. Main outcome measures were odds ratios (ORs) of developing dry AMD with metformin use. Results In multivariable conditional logistic regression, any metformin use was associated with decreased odds of developing dry AMD (OR = 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95-0.99). This protective effect was noted for cumulative 2-year doses of metformin of 1 to 270 g (OR = 0.93; 95% CI, 0.90-0.97) and 271 to 600 g (OR = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.89-0.96). In a diabetic subgroup, metformin use below 601 g per 2 years decreased the odds of developing dry AMD (1-270 g: OR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.91-0.99; 271-600 g: OR = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.89-0.96). Unlike in diabetic patients with diabetic retinopathy, diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy had decreased odds of developing dry AMD with any metformin use (OR = 0.97; 95% CI, 0.94-0.998) and cumulative two-year doses of 1 to 270 g (OR 0.96; 95% CI, 0.91-0.998) and 271 to 600 g (OR = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.88-0.96). Conclusions Metformin use was associated with decreased odds of developing dry AMD. The protective effect was observed for cumulative 2-year doses below 601 g. In diabetics, this association persisted, specifically in those without diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, metformin may be a strategy to prevent development of dry AMD.

Utilization Rates of SGLT2 Inhibitors Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Failure, and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: Insights From the Department of Veterans Affairs. JACC. HEART FAILURE 2023; 11:933-942.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated significant cardiovascular benefit with use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) irrespective of ejection fraction. There are limited data evaluating real-world prescription and practice patterns of SGLT2 inhibitors. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to assess utilization rates and facility-level variation in the use among patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), HF, and T2DM using data from the nationwide Veterans Affairs health care system. METHODS The authors included patients with established ASCVD, HF, and T2DM seen by a primary care provider between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020. They assessed the use of SGLT2 inhibitors and the facility-level variation in their use. Facility-level variation was computed using median rate ratios, a measure of likelihood that 2 random facilities differ in use of SGLT2 inhibitors. RESULTS Among 105,799 patients with ASCVD, HF, and T2DM across 130 Veterans Affairs facilities, 14.6% received SGLT2 inhibitors. Patients receiving SGLT2 inhibitors were younger men with higher hemoglobin A1c and estimated glomerular filtration rate and were more likely to have HF with reduced ejection fraction and ischemic heart disease. There was significant facility-level variation of SGLT2 inhibitor use, with an adjusted median rate ratio of 1.55 (95% CI: 1.46-1.64), indicating a 55% residual difference in SGLT2 inhibitor use among similar patients with ASCVD, HF, and T2DM receiving care at 2 random facilities. CONCLUSIONS Utilization rates of SGLT2 inhibitors are low in patients with ASCVD, HF, and T2DM, with high residual facility-level variation. These findings suggest opportunities to optimize SGLT2 inhibitor use to prevent future adverse cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has become the world's third major disease after tumors and cardiovascular disease. With the exploitation of marine biological resources, the efficacy of using polysaccharides isolated from marine organisms in blood glucose regulation has received widespread attention. Some marine polysaccharides can reduce blood glucose by inhibiting digestive enzyme activity, eliminating insulin resistance, and regulating gut microbiota. These polysaccharides are mainly fucose-containing sulphated polysaccharides from algae and sea cucumbers. It follows that the hypoglycemic activity of marine fucosyl-polysaccharides is closely related to their structure, such as their sulfate group, monosaccharide composition, molecular weight and glycosidic bond type. However, the structure of marine fucosyl-polysaccharides and the mechanism of their hypoglycemic activity are not yet clear. Therefore, this review comprehensively covers the effects of marine fucosyl-polysaccharides sources, mechanisms and the structure-activity relationship on hypoglycemic activity. Moreover, the potential regulatory effects of fucosyl-polysaccharides on vascular complications caused by hyperglycemia are also summarized in this review. This review provides rationales for the activity study of marine fucosyl-polysaccharides and new insights into the high-value utilization of marine biological resources.

Abstract
AIMS Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are effective across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in heart failure (HF); however, population-wide medication use in eligible patients remains suboptimal. We evaluated the potential implications of optimal global implementation of SGLT-2 inhibitors in HF. METHODS AND RESULTS A decision analytical study was performed using the global prevalence of HF from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 report. Exclusion criteria were applied using the NHANES to ascertain an SGLT-2 inhibitor-eligible population, which was mapped onto global LVEF distributions from the REPORT-HF registry. The number needed to treat for 3 years for the composite of worsening HF events and cardiovascular deaths was calculated from estimated event rates in the DAPA-HF, EMPEROR-Reduced, EMPEROR-Preserved, and DELIVER trials and projected onto the eligible population. An estimated 49 329 000 (95% confidence interval [CI] 43 882 000-54 929 000) HF patients would be eligible for SGLT-2 inhibitors across all LVEFs, including 25 651 000 (95% CI 22 818 000-28 563 000) with LVEF ≤40% and 23 678 000 (95% CI 21 063 000-26 366 000) with LVEF >40%. Optimal implementation of SGLT-2 inhibitors would be projected to prevent/postpone 4 512 011 (95% CI 4 013 686-5 024 232) to 5 986 943 (95% CI 5 325 721-6 666 604) total worsening HF events and cardiovascular deaths over 3 years in patients with LVEF <40%. An additional 2 102 606 (95% CI 1 870 394-2 341 301) to 2 557 224 (95% CI 2 274 804-2 847 528) total worsening HF events and cardiovascular deaths would be prevented/postponed in patients with LVEF >40%. Among all eligible HF patients, irrespective of LVEF, 7 069 235 (95% CI 6 288 490-7 871 760) to 8 089 549 (95% CI 7 196 115-9 007 905) total worsening HF events and cardiovascular deaths would be prevented/postponed over this period. CONCLUSIONS Optimal implementation of SGLT-2 inhibitors globally in HF is projected to prevent/postpone approximately 7-8 million worsening HF events and cardiovascular deaths over 3 years.

[PMID: 37088301 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjms.2023.04.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Classically described as a disease of childhood and adolescence, diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) can occur in adulthood. Adult-onset T1DM is poorly documented and is often misdiagnosed. This study aims to describe the epidemiological aspect of T1DM with adult-onset and detail its clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 9-year retrospective longitudinal study (2011-2019) was conducted including adult patients (age >20 years) with confirmed diabetes and at least one of the auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) to glutamic-acid-decarboxylase (GAD), to islet-tyrosine-phosphatase 2 (IA2) or islet-cell-antibodies (ICA) positive. RESULTS A total of 166 patients were included (sex-ratio M/F: 1.34; mean age: 28.6 years [20-56 years]). At the onset, 50.6% of patients presented with diabetic ketosis and 13.3% with diabetic ketoacidosis. Cardinal symptoms of diabetes were present in 30.7% of patients only at diagnosis, while the discovery was fortuitous in 5.4% of cases. 27.7% of patients developed an additional auto-immune disease mainly autoimmune thyroid disease. The risk of developing another AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE was highest in females (p = 0.010) and increased with age (p = 0.011). GAD-Abs, IA2-Abs, and ICA were positive in 98.2%, 13.3%, and 17.4% of cases respectively. Only GAD-Abs were found positive in 73.1%. Upon diagnosis, 75.9% of patients were treated with insulin, while 24.1% of patients were initially put on oral anti-diabetic drugs before requiring insulin within an average of 7.42 months. CONCLUSIONS Adult-onset T1DM has a different clinical course (slower onset, less abrupt symptoms, more insidious presentation, and more prolonged progression to insulin) that has to be known. Misdiagnosis of adult-onset T1DM can have serious consequences.

Abstract
Obesity, a chronic disease with multifactorial etiopathogenesis, is characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. Obesity prevalence is growing globally at an alarming rate. The overwhelming majority of obesity cases are caused by inappropriate lifestyles, such as overconsumption of food and inadequate physical activity. Metabolic and biochemical changes due to increased adiposity resulted in numerous comorbidities, increased all-cause mortality, and reduced quality of life. T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) and obesity have many common pathogenetic points and drive each other in a vicious cycle. The aim of this article is to review obesity management guidelines and highlight the most important points. Management of both obesity-related and T2DM complications incur enormous expenses on healthcare systems. It is, therefore, paramount to provide streamlined yet custom-tailored weight management in order to avoid the negative ramifications of both diseases. Efficient obesity treatment leads to better diabetes control since some antidiabetic medications support weight reduction. Obesity treatment should be overseen by a multi-disciplinary team providing indispensable information and individually tailored regimens to patients. Weight management should be multimodal and consist chiefly of MNT (medical nutrition therapy), physical activity, and lifestyle changes. A comprehensive approach to obesity treatment may give tangible results to quality of life and comorbidities.

Endocrine Health and Health Care Disparities in the Pediatric and Sexual and Gender Minority Populations: An Endocrine Society Scientific Statement. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 108:1533-1584.

Abstract
Endocrine care of pediatric and adult patients continues to be plagued by health and health care disparities that are perpetuated by the basic structures of our health systems and research modalities, as well as policies that impact access to care and social determinants of health. This scientific statement expands the Society's 2012 statement by focusing on endocrine disease disparities in the pediatric population and sexual and gender minority populations. These include pediatric and adult lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) persons. The writing group focused on highly prevalent conditions-growth disorders, puberty, metabolic bone disease, type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes mellitus, prediabetes, and obesity. Several important findings emerged. Compared with females and non-White children, non-Hispanic White males are more likely to come to medical attention for short stature. Racially and ethnically diverse populations and males are underrepresented in studies of pubertal development and attainment of peak bone mass, with current norms based on European populations. Like adults, racial and ethnic minority youth suffer a higher burden of disease from obesity, T1D and T2D, and have less access to diabetes treatment technologies and bariatric surgery. LGBTQIA youth and adults also face discrimination and multiple barriers to endocrine care due to pathologizing sexual orientation and gender identity, lack of culturally competent care providers, and policies. Multilevel interventions to address these disparities are required. Inclusion of racial, ethnic, and LGBTQIA populations in longitudinal life course studies is needed to assess growth, puberty, and attainment of peak bone mass. Growth and development charts may need to be adapted to non-European populations. In addition, extension of these studies will be required to understand the clinical and physiologic consequences of interventions to address abnormal development in these populations. Health policies should be recrafted to remove barriers in care for children with obesity and/or diabetes and for LGBTQIA children and adults to facilitate comprehensive access to care, therapeutics, and technological advances. Public health interventions encompassing collection of accurate demographic and social needs data, including the intersection of social determinants of health with health outcomes, and enactment of population health level interventions will be essential tools.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complicated disease characterized by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental variables. It is one of the world's fastest-growing diseases, with 783 million adults expected to be affected by 2045. Devastating macrovascular consequences (cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease) and microvascular complications (like retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) increase mortality, blindness, kidney failure, and overall quality of life in individuals with diabetes. Clinical risk factors and glycemic management alone cannot predict the development of vascular problems; multiple genetic investigations have revealed a clear hereditary component to both diabetes and its related complications. In the twenty-first century, technological advancements (genome-wide association studies, next-generation sequencing, and exome-sequencing) have led to the identification of genetic variants associated with diabetes, however, these variants can only explain a small proportion of the total heritability of the condition. In this review, we address some of the likely explanations for this "missing heritability", for diabetes such as the significance of uncommon variants, gene-environment interactions, and epigenetics. Current discoveries clinical value, management of diabetes, and future research directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Purpose The higher costs of insulin analogs including short-acting insulin aspart (IAsp) and long-acting insulin glargine (IGla) have restricted their widespread uptake despite having improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and patient convenience. This study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of IAsp versus Regular Insulin (RI) and IGla versus NPH Insulin in type 1 and 2 diabetes from the perspective of the Iranian healthcare system. Methods Clinical data including HbA1c levels, hypoglycemia, weight gain, and health-related quality of life were derived from the included systematic review and meta-analysis studies. Different methods of pharmacoeconomic evaluation were used for an annual time horizon. Utility decrements for diabetes-related complications were extracted from the literature. Direct medical costs were calculated in 2022 prices. A one-way sensitivity analysis was also performed. Results In type 1 diabetes, IAsp was associated with more costs and effects in terms of reducing HbA1c compared with RI. An incremental cost of $83 was estimated to obtain an additional 1% reduction in HbA1c per patient per year. Similarly, an incremental cost of $16 was estimated for IGla compared with NPH. In type 2 diabetes, IAsp and RI were associated with equal efficacy and safety. For IGla versus NPH, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was calculated at $1975 per quality-adjusted life-year. The robustness of the result was confirmed through sensitivity analysis. Conclusion Insulin analogs, IAsp and IGla, are cost-effective for type 1 diabetes versus human insulins, RI and NPH. For type 2 diabetes, IAsp is not cost-effective when compared with RI. For IGla versus NPH, however, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio seems to be within the accepted thresholds.

Diabetologia 2023; 66:1024-1034. [PMID: 36930251 PMCID: PMC10163090 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-023-05898-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to investigate if metformin pharmacokinetics is modulated by time-of-day in humans using empirical and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modelling techniques on a large clinical dataset. This study also aimed to generate and test hypotheses on the underlying mechanisms, including evidence for chronotype-dependent interindividual differences in metformin plasma and efficacy-related tissue concentrations. METHODS A large clinical dataset consisting of individual metformin plasma and urine measurements was analysed using a newly developed empirical pharmacokinetic model. Causes of daily variation of metformin pharmacokinetics and interindividual variability were further investigated by a literature-informed mechanistic modelling analysis. RESULTS A significant effect of time-of-day on metformin pharmacokinetics was found. Daily rhythms of gastrointestinal, hepatic and renal processes are described in the literature, possibly affecting drug pharmacokinetics. Observed metformin plasma levels were best described by a combination of a rhythm in GFR, renal plasma flow (RPF) and organic cation transporter (OCT) 2 activity. Furthermore, the large interindividual differences in measured metformin concentrations were best explained by individual chronotypes affecting metformin clearance, with impact on plasma and tissue concentrations that may have implications for metformin efficacy. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Metformin's pharmacology significantly depends on time-of-day in humans, determined with the help of empirical and mechanistic pharmacokinetic modelling, and rhythmic GFR, RPF and OCT2 were found to govern intraday variation. Interindividual variation was found to be partly dependent on individual chronotype, suggesting diurnal preference as an interesting, but so-far underappreciated, topic with regard to future personalised chronomodulated therapy in people with type 2 diabetes.
