Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a significant risk factor for both ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, affecting up to a third of individuals with cerebrovascular diseases. Beyond being a risk factor for stroke, diabetes and hyperglycaemia have a negative impact on outcomes after ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke. Hyperglycaemia during the acute ischaemic stroke phase is associated with a higher risk of haemorrhagic transformation and poor functional outcome, with evidence in favour of early intervention to limit and manage severe hyperglycaemia. Similarly, intensive glucose control nested in a broader bundle of care, including blood pressure, coagulation and temperature control, can provide substantial benefit for clinical outcomes after haemorrhagic stroke. As micro- and macrovascular complications are frequent in people with diabetes, cardiovascular prevention strategies also need to consider tailored treatment. In this regard, the broader availability of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists can allow tailored treatments, particularly for those with heart failure and chronic kidney disease as comorbidities. Here, we review the main concepts of hyperacute stroke management and CVD prevention among people with diabetes, capitalising on results from large studies and RCTs to inform clinicians on preferred treatments.

Efficacy and safety of basal insulins in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1286827. [PMID: 38586456 PMCID: PMC10997219 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1286827] [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: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim The comparative effectiveness of basal insulins has been examined in several studies. However, current treatment algorithms provide a list of options with no clear differentiation between different basal insulins as the optimal choice for initiation. Methods A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, ISI, and Scopus, and a reference list of retrieved studies and reviews were performed up to November 2023. We identified phase III randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy and safety of basal insulin regimens. The primary outcomes evaluated were HbA1c reduction, weight change, and hypoglycemic events. The revised Cochrane ROB-2 tool was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. A random-effects frequentist network meta-analysis was used to estimate the pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals considering the critical assumptions in the networks. The certainty of the evidence and confidence in the rankings was assessed using the GRADE minimally contextualized approach. Results Of 20,817 retrieved studies, 44 RCTs (23,699 participants) were eligible for inclusion in our network meta-analysis. We found no significant difference among various basal insulins (including Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH), ILPS, insulin glargine, detemir, and degludec) in reducing HbA1c. Insulin glargine, 300 U/mL (IGlar-300) was significantly associated with less weight gain (mean difference ranged from 2.9 kg to 4.1 kg) compared to other basal insulins, namely thrice-weekly insulin degludec (IDeg-3TW), insulin degludec, 100 U/mL (IDeg-100), insulin degludec, 200 U/mL (IDeg-200), NPH, and insulin detemir (IDet), but with low to very low certainty regarding most comparisons. IDeg-100, IDeg-200, IDet, and IGlar-300 were associated with significantly lower odds of overall, nocturnal, and severe hypoglycemic events than NPH and insulin lispro protamine (ILPS) (moderate to high certainty evidence). NPH was associated with the highest odds of overall and nocturnal hypoglycemia compared to others. Network meta-analysis models were robust, and findings were consistent in sensitivity analyses. Conclusion The efficacy of various basal insulin regimens is comparable. However, they have different safety profiles. IGlar-300 may be the best choice when weight gain is a concern. In contrast, IDeg-100, IDeg-200, IDet, and IGlar-300 may be preferred when hypoglycemia is the primary concern.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology provided guidelines for patients with transient ischemic attacks or strokes (TIA/stroke) and diabetes mellitus with the use of glucose-lowering agents (GLA) effective in preventing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). This review evaluated GLA for specific differences in TIA/stroke prevention. METHODS Previous reviews and meta-analyses were evaluated for outcomes of MACE, cardiovascular death (CVD), hospitalization for heart failure, and TIA/stroke. The GLA were glucagon-like peptide 1-receptor agonists (GLP-1RA, 6-trials, n = 46 541), sodium-glucose transport 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i, 5-trials, n = 46 959), insulin-providing regimens (IP, 4-trials, n = 26 223), and thiazolidinediones (TZD, 1-trial, n = 5238). RESULTS There were reductions in MACE for each class. Relative risk (rr) reductions for TIA/stroke were found with GLP-1RA (rr = 0.840, 95% CI: 0.759, 0.936, P =.001) but not with SGLT2i, IP, or TZD. Cardiovascular deaths were decreased with GLP-1RA (rr = 0.873, CI: 0.804, 0.947, P =.001) and SGLT2i (rr = 0.835, CI: 0.706, 0.987, P =.034), but not with TZD or IP. Hospitalizations for heart failure were decreased only with SGLT2i (rr = 0.699, CI: 0.626, 0.781, P <.001). Increased CVD correlated with aggressive lowering of A1c (r = -0.611, P =.012) and showed a trend with the relative risk of hypoglycemia (r = 0.447, P =.08). For GLP-1RA, there was no increase in hypoglycemia and a direct correlation with a decreased rr for stroke with decreases in A1c (r = 0.917, P =.010). CONCLUSION Improvements in A1c with GLP-1RA were associated with stroke prevention in patients with diabetes and with TIA or stroke. Reductions in cardiovascular mortality include therapy with GLP-1RA and SGLT2i. Aggressive lowering of A1c, however, was associated with increased CVD.

Efficacy and safety of once-weekly versus once-daily basal insulin analogues in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Obes Metab 2023; 25:3648-3661. [PMID: 37667676 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
AIM To summarize the evidence of recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying efficacy, in terms of glycaemic control, and safety of the newly developed once-weekly basal insulin analogues. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted through Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library and Google Scholar until June 30, 2023. Double-independent study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed. Results were summarized with random-effects meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 3962 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among nine RCTs were analysed. All RCTs had low risk of bias according to the Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias tool (RoB2). Once-weekly insulins demonstrated better efficacy in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) reduction (mean difference [MD] -0.13%, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.23, -0.03; P = 0.08) and a significantly greater time in range compared with once-daily insulin analogues (MD 3.54%, 95% CI 1.56, 5.53; P = 0.005). Based on subgroup analyses, the reduction in HbA1c and the odds of achieving an end-of-treatment HbA1c <6.5% were significantly greater for icodec compared to the once-daily insulin (MD -0.18%, 95% CI -0.27, -0.09 [P < 0.001] and odds ratio [OR] 1.75, 95% CI 1.34, 2.29 [P < 0.001], respectively). Once-weekly insulins were associated with higher odds of level 1 hypoglycaemia during the 24-hour period (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.04, 1.64; P = 0.02) but were safer in terms of level 2 or 3 nocturnal hypoglycaemic events (OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.56, 0.97; P = 0.03). No difference was observed regarding serious adverse events between the two groups. CONCLUSION The once-weekly basal insulin analogues seem to be at least equally efficient in glycaemic management and safe compared to once-daily injections in people with T2DM. Phase 4 RCTs are expected to shed further light on the effectiveness and safety of once-weekly insulin therapy over the long term.

Abstract
Background and aims Older people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on insulin are at increased risk of hypoglycemia and associated morbidity. Management of T2DM in older people must optimize glycemic control while minimizing risks for hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). In France, the FreeStyle Libre® system (FSL) has been reimbursed since June 2017 for T2DM on intensive insulin therapy. We assessed the impact of starting FSL on hospitalizations for acute diabetes events (ADEs) in people ≥65 years old, with T2DM on intensive insulin therapy. Materials and methods A retrospective study on the French SNDS claims database was conducted on people ≥65 years old with T2DM, treated with MDI or insulin pump and starting FSL between 01/08/2017 to 31/12/2018. The analysis covered claims data for 12 months before, and up to 24 months after FSL initiation. Hospitalizations for severe hypoglycemia (SH), DKA, comas and hyperglycemia were identified using ICD-10 codes. Results We identified 38,312 people with T2DM ≥65 years old on intensive insulin therapy initiating FSL during the selection period. Hospitalizations for ADEs were observed in 1.6% of subjects in the 12 months before FSL initiation, compared to 1.05% after 12 months and 0.96% after 24 months, a 34% and 40% reduction, driven by fewer DKA admissions after 12 months and by fewer SH admissions at 24 months. Conclusions These results indicate that FSL can reduce hospitalization for ADEs in this vulnerable older population of adults aged 65 years and older with T2DM on intensive insulin therapy, in whom optimal glycemic control must be achieved while minimizing risk of hypoglycemia and other ADEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to one-third of Canadians are estimated to be living with prediabetes or diabetes. A retrospective study using Canadian private drug claims data was conducted to investigate whether flash glucose monitoring using the FreeStyle Libre system (FSL) among people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Canada can be associated with changes in treatment intensification when compared with blood glucose monitoring (BGM) alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using a Canadian national private drug claims database comprising approximately 50% coverage of insured individuals in Canada, cohorts of people with T2DM using FSL or BGM were identified algorithmically based on treatment history and followed over a 24-month study period, tracking their progression in diabetes treatment therapy. The Andersen-Gill model for recurrent time-to-event data was used to evaluate whether the rate of treatment progression differs between the FSL and BGM treatment cohorts. The survival function was used to calculate comparative treatment progression probabilities between the cohorts. RESULTS In total, 373 871 people with T2DM met the inclusion criteria. Across treatment (FSL) and control (BGM) groups, people using FSL had a higher probability of treatment progression compared with BGM alone, with a relative risk ranging between 1.86 and 2.81 (p < .001). A higher probability of treatment progression was independent of the diabetes treatment at the enrolment date (index date) or the patient status, and independent of whether patients were treatment naïve or on established diabetes therapy. Assessment of the ending treatment relative to the starting therapy indicated that dynamic treatment changes were most evident for patients in the FSL cohort and that the FSL cohort had a much greater portion of patients who ended with insulin treatment (when they started with non-insulin treatment) compared with the BGM cohort. CONCLUSIONS People with T2DM using FSL had a greater probability for treatment progression compared with BGM alone, irrespective of the starting therapy, which may suggest that FSL can be used to support escalation of diabetes therapy to improve therapeutic inertia in T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effects of glucose-lowering agents on all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular and renal outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A MEDLINE and EMBASE search was performed to identify randomized controlled trials, published up to 28 February 2022, with a follow-up ≥52 weeks, in which glucose-lowering drugs were compared with either placebo or active comparators. We included only trials reporting formal external adjudication of events. All-cause mortality, 3-point MACE (major cardiovascular events), and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) were considered as principal outcomes. Doubling of serum creatinine, worsening albuminuria, and renal death were considered as secondary endpoints. RESULTS We included randomized controlled trials performed on metformin (n = 17), pioglitazone (n = 20), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (n = 9), insulin secretagogues (n = 42), dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitors (n = 67), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (n = 45) or sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i; n = 42) and insulin (n = 18). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist and SGLT-2i were associated with a significant reduction in all-cause mortality [Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (MH-OR), 95% confidence interval: 0.88 (0.83; 0.95) and 0.85 (0.79; 0.91), respectively] and MACE [MH-OR, 95% confidence interval: 0.89 (0.84; 0.94) and 0.90 (0.84; 0.96), respectively]. SGLT-2i was associated with a reduced risk of HHF [MH-OR 0.68 (0.62; 0.75)], worsening albuminuria [MH-OR 0.67 (0.55; 0.80)] and doubling of serum creatinine [MH-OR 0.58 (0.44; 0.79)]. Metformin and pioglitazone were associated with a significantly lower risk of MACE [MH-OR 0.60 (0.47; 0.80) and 0.85 (0.74; 0.97), respectively] and pioglitazone with a higher risk of HHF [MH-OR 1.30 (1.04; 1.62)]. Insulin secretagogues were associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality [MH-OR 1.12 (1.01; 1.24)] and MACE [MH-OR 1.19 (1.02; 1.39)]. CONCLUSIONS The results of this updated meta-analysis need to be considered in the choice of drug treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus, which cannot be merely based on the effect of glucose-lowering drugs on long-term glycaemic control.

Abstract
Stroke is a major cause of death and long-term disability worldwide. Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications, including stroke. People with diabetes have a 1.5-2 times higher risk of stroke compared with people without diabetes, with risk increasing with diabetes duration. These risks may also differ according to sex, with a greater risk observed among women versus men. Several mechanisms associated with diabetes lead to stroke, including large artery atherosclerosis, cerebral small vessel disease, and cardiac embolism. Hyperglycemia confers increased risk for worse outcomes in people presenting with acute ischemic stroke, compared with people with normal glycemia. Moreover, people with diabetes may have poorer post-stroke outcomes and higher risk of stroke recurrence than those without diabetes. Appropriate management of diabetes and other vascular risk factors may improve stroke outcomes and reduce the risk for recurrent stroke. Secondary stroke prevention guidelines recommend screening for diabetes following a stroke. The diabetes medications pioglitazone and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have demonstrated protection against stroke in randomized controlled trials; this protective effect is believed to be independent of glycemic control. Neurologists are often involved in the management of modifiable risk factors for stroke (including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and atrial fibrillation), but less often in the direct management of diabetes. This review provides an overview of the relationships between diabetes and stroke, including epidemiology, pathophysiology, post-stroke outcomes, and treatments for people with stroke and diabetes. This should aid neurologists in diabetes-related decision-making when treating people with acute or recurrent stroke.

Abstract
Aims/Hypothesis: Initiation of insulin therapy in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) may be necessary to achieve glycemic targets but is associated with acute diabetes events (ADEs), including severe hypoglycemia (SH) or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We assessed the impact of initiating FreeStyle Libre® system (FSL) on hospitalizations for ADEs in people with T2DM on basal insulin only regimen±noninsulin antidiabetic drugs. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of the French national Système National des Données de Santé reimbursement claims database (≈66 million French people) identified people with T2DM on basal insulin therapy receiving a first reimbursement of FSL between August 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018. Claims data for the 12 months before, and up to 24 months after FSL initiation, were analyzed. Hospitalizations for ADEs were identified, using ICD-10 codes as main or related diagnosis, for: SH events; DKA events; comas; and hyperglycemia-related admissions. Results: A total of 5933 people with T2DM on basal insulin therapy initiated FSL during the selection period. Of the patients, 78.9% were on basal insulin and other hypoglycemic agents. Among the 5933 patients identified, 2.01% had at least one hospitalization for any ADE in the year before FSL initiation, compared to 0.75% (1 year) and 0.60% (2 years). Reductions in ADEs were driven by 75% fewer DKA admissions, with a 44% reduction in SH admissions. These patterns of reduced ADEs persisted after 2 years, with a further 43% reduction in DKA rates. Conclusions/Interpretation: This study emphasizes the value of the FSL system in reducing ADEs in people with T2DM in France not on intensive insulin therapy and initially treated with basal-only insulin therapy.

Abstract
Objective Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been linked to subsequent overall cardiovascular diseases. However, evidence on the associations of GDM with type-specific cardiovascular diseases is lacking, and findings on the potential impact of type 2 diabetes on the associations are not consistent. This study aimed to explore the associations between GDM and the risks of type-specific cardiovascular diseases. Methods Data were from 12,025 women (≥20 years) who had delivered at least one live birth in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007–2018. GDM history and type-specific cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure and stroke were defined by self-report. We also combined our results with those from previously related publications on the associations between GDM and risks of type-specific cardiovascular diseases with a random-effect model. Results Compared with women without GDM, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.82 (1.21–2.72) for CHD, 1.43 (0.80–2.53) for heart failure, and 1.19 (0.76–1.86) for stroke among women with a history of GDM. Type 2 diabetes was associated with 43.90, 67.44, and 63.16% of the excess odds of CHD, heart failure and stroke associated with GDM, respectively. Combining results from this study with those from previously related studies yielded odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 1.81 (1.60–2.05) for CHD (12 studies, 7,615,322 participants, I2= 72.6%), 1.66 (1.25–2.21) for heart failure (5 studies, 4,491,665 participants, I2= 88.6%), and 1.25 (1.07–1.46) for cerebrovascular disease (9 studies, 6,090,848 participants, I2= 77.8%). Conclusions GDM showed stronger associations with coronary heart diseases and heart failure than cerebrovascular disease, and the excess risks are attributable, in part, to type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIM In 2019, the Italian Society of Diabetology and the Italian Association of Clinical Diabetologists nominated an expert panel to develop guidelines for drug treatment of type 2 diabetes. This expert panel, after identifying the effects of glucose-lowering agents on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), all-cause mortality, and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) as critical outcomes, decided to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of insulin with this respect. DATA SYNTHESIS A MEDLINE database search was performed to identify all RCTs, up to June 1st, 2021, with duration≥52 weeks, in which insulin was compared with either placebo or active comparators. The principal endpoints were MACE and HHF (restricted for RCT reporting MACEs within their outcomes), all-cause mortality (irrespective of the inclusion of MACEs among the pre-specified outcomes). Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio (MH-OR) with 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI) was calculated for all the endpoints considered. Six RCTs (enrolling 8091 patients and 10,139 in the insulin and control group, respectively) were included in the analysis for MACEs and HF, and 18 in that for all-cause mortality (9760 and 11,694 patients in the insulin and control group, respectively). Treatment with insulin neither significantly increased nor reduced the risk of MACE, all-cause mortality, and HHF in comparison with placebo/active comparators (MH-OR: 1.09, 95% CI 0.97-1.23; 0.99, 95% CI 0.91, 1.08; and 0.90, 95% CI 0.78, 1.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed no significant effects of insulin on incident MACE, all-cause mortality, and HHF.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main cause of death among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly in low- and middle-income countries. To effectively prevent the development of CVDs in T2DM, considerable effort has been made to explore novel preventive approaches, individualized glycemic control and cardiovascular risk management (strict blood pressure and lipid control), together with recently developed glucose-lowering agents and lipid-lowering drugs. This review mainly addresses the important issues affecting the choice of antidiabetic agents and lipid, blood pressure and antiplatelet treatments considering the cardiovascular status of the patient. Finally, we also discuss the changes in therapy principles underlying CVDs in T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to highlight the evidence behind landmark trials involving these two novel drug classes in conjunction with a review of long-standing therapies used to improve cardiovascular (CV) outcomes among patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). RECENT FINDINGS Recently, societal guideline recommendations have expanded the management of T2DM to incorporate therapies with CV risk factor modification. This is due to CV outcome trials (CVOT) uncovering advantageous cardioprotective effects of several novel therapies, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Providers who manage high-risk patients with T2DM, such as those with concomitant PAD, are expected to incorporate these novel medical therapies into routine patient care. The body of evidence surrounding GLP-1 RA demonstrates a strong benefit in mitigating the innate heightened CV risk among patients with T2DM. Furthermore, SGLT2i not only have a favorable CV profile but also reduce the risk of HF hospitalizations and progression of renal disease. Patients with T2DM and PAD are known to be at a heightened risk for major adverse cardiac and lower extremity events, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. As such, the use of novel therapies such as GLP-RA and SGLT2i should be strongly considered to minimize morbidity and mortality in this vulnerable population.
