Abstract
OBJECTIVE Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) outcomes associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) therapies remain unclear in patients with type 2 diabetes and newly diagnosed diabetic foot complications (DFCs). This study examined the impact of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA use on the rates of MACEs and amputations in patients with type 2 diabetes and without cardiovascular disease. METHODS Data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (2004-2017) were analyzed, focusing on patients with type 2 diabetes without previous MACE and newly diagnosed DFCs. The primary outcome was the first MACE occurrence, and the secondary outcomes included MACE components, all-cause mortality, and lower extremity amputation (LEA) rates. RESULTS SGLT2i users showed a significant decrease in the MACE (hazard ratio [HR], 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46-0.88) and hospitalization for heart failure (HR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.35-0.83) rates compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor users. The amputation rates were also lower in SGLT2i users without LEA at the first DFC diagnosis (HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.10-0.75) and did not increase in those with a history of peripheral artery disease or LEA. No significant differences were observed between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor and GLP-1 RA users in terms of the primary or secondary outcomes. CONCLUSION In patients with type 2 diabetes initially diagnosed with DFC, SGLT2i are effective in significantly reducing the hospitalization for heart failure and MACE rates. SGLT2i lower the amputation rates, especially in patients who have not previously had a LEA, than the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic nephropathy remains a significant economic and social burden on both the individual patient and health-care systems as the prevalence of diabetes increases in the general population. The complex pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease poses a challenge in the development of effective medical treatments for the disease. However, the multiple facets of diabetic nephropathy also offer a variety of potential strategies to manage this condition. AREAS COVERED We retrieved PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov records to identify studies and articles focused on new pharmacologic advances to treat diabetic nephropathy. EXPERT OPINION RAAS blockers have remained the mainstay of therapy for DM nephropathy for many years, with only recent advancements with SGLT2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal MRAs. Better understanding of the long-term renal effects of ambient hyperglycemia, ranging from hemodynamic changes to increased production of oxidative and pro-inflammatory substances, has evolved our approach to the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. With continuing research for new therapeutics as well as combination therapy, the medical community may be able to better ease the burden of diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
AIMS The frequency of an acute increase in serum creatinine (sCr) of >30%, following treatment of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and its clinical implications in patients with type 2 diabetes remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS We used medical data from a multicenter health care provider in Taiwan and recruited 11,657 and 8,117 diabetic patients with baseline/follow-up sCr data available within 12 weeks of SGLT2i and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i) treatment from June 1, 2016, to December 31, 2018. Participants receiving SGLT2i or DPP4i were categorized by initial sCr change into three groups:>30% sCr increase, 0-30% increase, or no-sCr increase. Participants receiving SGLT2i was associated with a higher proportion of sCr increase of 0-30% (52.7% vs. 42.6%) but a lower proportion of sCr increase of >30% (5.9% vs. 9.6%) when compared with DPP4i. In contrast to DPP4i, the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate over time became stable after 24 weeks in three categories of sCr increase following SGLT2i initiation. Compared with no sCr increase, an initial sCr increase of >30% was associated with a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]:2.91, [95% confidence interval [CI]:1.37-6.17]), heart failure hospitalization (HHF) (aHR:1.91,[95%CI:1.08-3.40]), and composite renal outcome (aHR:1.53,[95%CI:1.05-2.25]) in SGLT2i group; an initial sCr increase of >30% associated with a higher risk of HHF and composite renal outcome in DPP4i group after multivariate adjustment. Overall, participants receiving SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of HHF (aHR:0.64,[95%CI:0.48-0.85]) and composite renal outcomes (aHR:0.40,[95%CI:0.34-0.48]) compared with DPP4i after multivariate adjustment, and the treatment benefit was persistent across three categories of sCr increase (P interaction>.05). CONCLUSIONS A modest increase in serum creatinine (<30%) was common following SGLT2i initiation, and was not associated with worse clinical outcomes, therefore should not stop therapy prematurely, but a larger increase in creatinine following drug therapy was not typical and should raise concern and review of the patient.
