Summary: This study provides global, regional, and country-level estimates of diabetes prevalence and health expenditures for 2021 and projections for 2045. The global prevalence of diabetes is increasing and is expected to have the greatest relative increase in middle-income countries. Diabetes-related health expenditures are also projected to rise.

Summary: Real-world studies have shown that GLP-1RA treatment has significant cardiovascular benefits compared to other glucose-lowering drugs, but it is less effective in preventing heart failure.

Liver function markers predict cardiovascular and renal outcomes in the CANVAS Program

Giulia Ferrannini et al.

Summary: This study systematically examined the relationship between liver function test (LFT) levels and cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, and assessed the impact of canagliflozin treatment. The results showed that higher gamma GT levels were associated with an increased risk of heart failure and death, while ALT levels were found to be protective. Canagliflozin treatment reduced the risk of heart failure and renal damage, independently of LFTs and potential confounders.

The New Role of SGLT2 Inhibitors in the Management of Heart Failure: Current Evidence and Future Perspective

Saverio Muscoli et al.

Summary: SGLT2 inhibitors are a new class of drugs used for treating type 2 diabetes. Recent research has shown their effectiveness in managing heart failure by reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, hospitalization, and mortality. The mechanism behind this effect is still unclear, but it is believed that they lower blood pressure and improve endothelial function. This review focuses on the results of clinical trials investigating the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure, regardless of the patients' diabetic status. Various SGLT2 inhibitors are compared to explore their potential as a treatment option for patients with reduced ejection fraction and preserved ejection fraction.

Gastrointestinal adverse events associated with semaglutide: A pharmacovigilance study based on FDA adverse event reporting system

Yamin Shu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the gastrointestinal safety signals associated with semaglutide by mining the FDA pharmacovigilance database. It identified several new adverse signals and found that patient age and body weight might be associated with the severity of gastrointestinal adverse events. Different clinical priority signals were defined and it was observed that the risk of gastrointestinal adverse events decreased over time.

Summary: The study found an association between polypharmacy and several adverse outcomes, as well as between PIM use and all-cause mortality in older cancer patients. However, caution is needed in interpreting these results as the majority of studies did not adjust for comorbidity and may be susceptible to confounding by indication.

Anne Flint et al.

Summary: In patients with NAFLD, the change in liver stiffness between semaglutide and placebo was not significantly different, but semaglutide significantly reduced liver fat content compared to placebo. Additionally, semaglutide also led to decreases in liver enzymes, body weight, and HbA(1c) levels.

Metformin, chronic nephropathy and lactic acidosis: a multi-faceted issue for the nephrologist

Filippo Mariano et al.

Summary: Metformin is considered a first-line therapy for type 2 diabetic patients, with recent evidence showing low risk of lactic acidosis and various favorable effects. In cases of lactic acidosis complicated by acute kidney injury, continuous renal replacement therapy plays a crucial role in improving survival. Preventable drug accumulation leading to lactic acidosis underscores the importance of prevention as a key factor.

Summary: Recent case reports have suggested potential increased statin toxicity when co-administered with SGLT2 inhibitors. Although pharmacokinetic studies showed no significant changes in statin levels, further research is warranted to better understand the clinical implications of this drug-drug interaction.
