Treatment with dulaglutide at a once-weekly dose of 0.75 mg or 1.5 mg was superior to placebo in improving glycemic control through 26 weeks among youths with type 2 diabetes who were being treated with or without metformin or basal insulin, without an effect on BMI (NEJM) Multiple medications are now accepted as being necessary to reduce albuminuria and decelerate the decline in renal function in the patient with diabetic nephropathy (Journal of Diabetes Research) Several attributes influence how PwD take their medications. Insights gained directly from PwD have the potential to assist stakeholders in making more informed, patient-centered, treatment decisions, thus choosing and managing medications that PwD are comfortable initiating and persisting with over the longer term (Patient Preference and Adherence) NHS England patients with Type 1 diabetes will now be eligible for life-changing continuous glucose monitors after the health service secured a new cut-price deal (NHS England) Although clinically implemented AI-based diabetic retinopathy screening, integration of mobile devices and ocular telemedicine are still in their infancy, the technology is evolving rapidly and there is little doubt that these concepts will be able to optimise diabetic retinopathy screening within a few years (Diabetologia) We confirmed that depression and diabetes individually are associated with an increased mortality risk and also identified that comorbid depression and diabetes have synergistic effects on the risk of all-cause mortality that are largely driven by deaths from cancer and causes other than circulatory disease and cancer (Diabetologia) Here we use our large-scale, multi-condition, single-cell dataset to show that human islets have cell-type-specific Ca2+-regulated gene expression profiles, some of them specific to subpopulations. In our dataset, we identify PCDH7 as a novel marker of beta cells having an increased number of Ca2+-regulated genes and enhanced insulin secretory function (Diabetologia) Recommendations for insulin dose adjustments made by automatization did not differ significantly from recommendations given by expert physicians regarding the direction of change (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics) Our review suggests that inpatient management in the general ward with DPP4i and GLP1Ra is as effective and safe as management with insulin. More randomized studies are required to support these findings before they could be recommended as usual practice (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice) The WISDOM risk-stratification and education intervention for type 2 diabetes appears to be cost-effective compared to usual care by reducing diabetes complications (Diabetic Medicine)
