Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), defined as co-existing diabetes and chronic kidney disease in the absence of other clear causes of kidney injury, occurs in approximately 20-40% of patients with diabetes mellitus. As the global prevalence of diabetes has increased, DKD has become highly prevalent and a leading cause of kidney failure, accelerated cardiovascular disease, premature mortality and global health care expenditure. Multiple pathophysiological mechanisms contribute to DKD, and single lifestyle or pharmacological interventions have shown limited efficacy at preserving kidney function. For nearly two decades, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors were the only available kidney-protective drugs. However, several new drug classes, including sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist and a selective endothelin receptor antagonist, have now been demonstrated to improve kidney outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, emerging preclinical and clinical evidence of the kidney-protective effects of glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists has led to the prospective testing of these agents for DKD. Research and clinical efforts are geared towards using therapies with potentially complementary efficacy in combination to safely halt kidney disease progression. As more kidney-protective drugs become available, the outlook for people living with DKD should improve in the next few decades.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite improvements in glucose monitoring technologies, insulin formulations and insulin delivery systems, too many patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) continue to struggle to meet their glycemic goals. As a result, they suffer from high rates of microvascular and macrovascular disease. Titration of insulin therapy, while essential to the care of these patients, is often limited by undesirable side effects of hypoglycemia and weight gain. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors have been proposed as a potential adjunctive therapy to insulin that may offset some of these effects, while simultaneously enabling patients with T1D to potentially reap the cardiovascular and renal benefits afforded by these agents in those with type 2 diabetes. This review summarizes and contextualizes the clinical trial data that has emerged with these agents in this specific population. METHODS A clinical review based on current literature was generated by the authors. RESULTS This review summarizes the data from several clinical trial programs investigating the use of SGLT inhibitors in T1D, describing the potential benefits and the ketosis-related adverse events of these agents (including euglycemic DKA), along with a discussion of possible mitigation strategies to reduce this risk. CONCLUSION Although theoretically SGLT inhibitors have the potential to improve metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal outcomes in patients with T1D, the risks of diabetic ketoacidosis currently represent an important limitation to the widespread use of these agents. If treatment is undertaken, caution must be taken, with implementation of effective mitigation strategies being essential.

Abstract
Currently, the differentiation between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not straightforward, and the features of both types of diabetes coexist in one subject. This situation triggered the need to discriminate so-called double diabetes (DD), hybrid diabetes or type 1.5 diabetes, which is generally described as the presence of the insulin resistance characteristic of metabolic syndrome in individuals diagnosed with T1D. DD not only raises the question of proper classification of diabetes but is also associated with a significantly greater risk of developing micro- and macroangiopathic complications, which was independent of glycaemic control. When considering the global obesity pandemic and increasing incidence of T1D, the prevalence of DD may also presumably increase. Therefore, it is of the highest priority to discover the mechanisms underlying the development of DD and to identify appropriate methods to prevent or treat DD. In this article, we describe how the definition of double diabetes has changed over the years and how it is currently defined. We discuss the accuracy of including metabolic syndrome in the DD definition. We also present possible hypotheses connecting insulin resistance with T1D and propose possible methods to identify individuals with double diabetes based on indirect insulin resistance markers, which are easily assessed in everyday clinical practice. Moreover, we discuss adjuvant therapy which may be considered in double diabetic patients.

Risks and Benefits of SGLT-2 Inhibitors for Type 1 Diabetes Patients Using Automated Insulin Delivery Systems-A Literature Review. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:1972.

Abstract
The primary treatment for autoimmune Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus-T1DM) is insulin therapy. Unfortunately, a multitude of clinical cases has demonstrated that the use of insulin as a sole therapeutic intervention fails to address all issues comprehensively. Therefore, non-insulin adjunct treatment has been investigated and shown successful results in clinical trials. Various hypoglycemia-inducing drugs such as Metformin, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, amylin analogs, and Sodium-Glucose Cotransporters 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, developed good outcomes in patients with T1DM. Currently, SGLT-2 inhibitors have remarkably improved the treatment of patients with diabetes by preventing cardiovascular events, heart failure hospitalization, and progression of renal disease. However, their pharmacological potential has not been explored enough. Thus, the substantial interest in SGLT-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) underlines the present review. It begins with an overview of carrier-mediated cellular glucose uptake, evidencing the insulin-independent transport system contribution to glucose homeostasis and the essential roles of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporters 1 and 2. Then, the pharmacological properties of SGLT-2is are detailed, leading to potential applications in treating T1DM patients with automated insulin delivery (AID) systems. Results from several studies demonstrated improvements in glycemic control, an increase in Time in Range (TIR), a decrease in glycemic variability, reduced daily insulin requirements without increasing hyperglycemic events, and benefits in weight management. However, these advantages are counterbalanced by increased risks, particularly concerning Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Several clinical trials reported a higher incidence of DKA when patients with T1DM received SGLT-2 inhibitors such as Sotagliflozin and Empagliflozin. On the other hand, patients with T1DM and a body mass index (BMI) of ≥27 kg/m2 treated with Dapagliflozin showed similar reduction in hyperglycemia and body weight and insignificantly increased DKA incidence compared to the overall trial population. Additional multicenter and randomized studies are required to establish safer and more effective long-term strategies based on patient selection, education, and continuous ketone body monitoring for optimal integration of SGLT-2 inhibitors into T1DM therapeutic protocol.

Abstract
Current management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 1 diabetes centres on glycaemic control, renin-angiotensin system inhibition and optimisation of risk factors including blood pressure, lipids and body weight. While these therapeutic approaches have significantly improved outcomes among people with type 1 diabetes and CKD, this population remains at substantial elevated risk for adverse kidney and cardiovascular events, with limited improvements over the last few decades. The significant burden of CKD and CVD in type 1 diabetes populations highlights the need to identify novel therapies with the potential for heart and kidney protection. Over the last decade, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have emerged as potent kidney-protective and/or cardioprotective agents in type 2 diabetes. The consistent, substantial kidney and cardiovascular benefits of these agents has led to their incorporation into professional guidelines as foundational care for type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, introduction of these agents into clinical practice has been accompanied by a shift in the focus of diabetes care from a 'glucose-centric' to a 'cardiorenal risk-centric' approach. In this review, we evaluate the potential translation of novel type 2 diabetes therapeutics to individuals with type 1 diabetes with the lens of preventing the development and progression of CKD.

Abstract
SGLT2i (sodium glucose transporter type 2 inhibitors) are pharmacological agents that act by inhibiting the SGLT2, by reducing the renal plasma glucose threshold and inducing glycosuria, resulting in a blood glucose lowering effect. In recent years, studies demonstrating some additional positive effects of SGLT2i also in the treatment of T1D have increased progressively. The SGLT2i dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin have been temporarily licensed for use by the European Medical Agency (EMA) as an adjunct to insulin therapy in adults with T1D with a body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or higher. However, in the meantime, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee was divided, citing concerns about the main side effects of SGLT2i, especially diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The aim of this manuscript was to conduct an update on current evidence and recommendations of the reported use of SGLT2i in the treatment of T1D in humans. Preclinical studies, clinical trial and real world data suggest benefits in glycaemia control and nefro-cardiovascular protection, even though several studies have documented an important increase in the risk of DKA, a serious and life-threatening adverse event of these agents. SGLT2i potentially addresses some of the unmet needs associated with T1D by improving glycaemic control with weight loss and without increasing hypoglycemia, by reducing glycaemic variability. However, due to side effects, EMA recommendation for SGLT2 use on T1D was withdrawn. Further studies will be needed to determine the safety of this therapy in T1D and to define the type of patient who can benefit most from these medications.

Abstract
Purpose: Dapagliflozin has been used extensively in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, due to the potential diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) risk of dapagliflozin, its use in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is limited. Here, we reported an obese patient with T1DM and inadequate glycemic control. We carefully recommended she use dapagliflozin as an insulin adjuvant to achieve better glycemia control and to assess possible benefits and risks. Methods and Results: The patient was a 27-year-old female who had underlying T1DM for 17 years with a body weight of 75.0 kg, body mass index (BMI) of 28.2 kg/m2, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 7.7% when admitted. To treat her diabetes, she had used an insulin pump for 15 years (the recent dosage of insulin was 45 IU/d) and oral metformin for 3 years (0.5 g qid). In order to decrease body weight and achieve better glycemic control, dapagliflozin (FORXIGA, AstraZeneca, Indiana) was administered as an insulin adjuvant. The patient presented sever DKA with a euglycemia (euDKA) after two days of the administration of dapagliflozin at a dose of 10 mg/d. euDKA occurred again after the administration of dapagliflozin at a dose of 3.3 mg/d. However, after using a smaller dose of dapagliflozin (1.5 mg/d), this patient achieved better glycemia control, with a significant reduction in daily insulin dosage and gradual weight loss, without significant hypoglycemia or DKA occurring. At the sixth month of the administration of dapagliflozin, the HbA1c was 6.2% for the patient, her daily insulin dosage was 22.5 IU, and her body weight was 60.2 kg. Conclusions: The appropriate dose of dapagliflozin is critical for a patient with T1DM patient therapy in order to find a correct balance between the benefits and risks.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a progressive autoimmune disease that starts long before a clinical diagnosis is made. The American Diabetes Association recognizes three stages: stage 1 (normoglycaemic and positive for autoantibodies to β-cell antigens); stage 2 (asymptomatic with dysglycaemia); and stage 3, which is defined by glucose levels consistent with the definition of diabetes mellitus. This Perspective focuses on the management of the proportion of individuals with early stage 3 T1DM who do not immediately require insulin; a stage we propose should be termed stage 3a. To date, this period of non-insulin-dependent T1DM has been largely unrecognized. Importantly, it represents a window of opportunity for intervention, as remaining at this stage might delay the need for insulin by months or years. Extending the insulin-free period and/or avoiding unnecessary insulin therapy are important goals, as there is no risk of hypoglycaemia during this period and the adherence burden on patients of glycaemic monitoring and daily adjustments for diet and exercise is substantially reduced. Recognizing the pressing need for guidance on adequate management of children and adults with stage 3a T1DM, we present our perspective on the subject, which needs to be tested in formal and adequately powered clinical trials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There have been many recent advances in the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D) including in insulin formulations, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology and automated insulin delivery. However, long-term optimal glycemic control is still only achieved in a minority. AREAS COVERED Adjunct therapy - the use of therapeutic agents other than insulin - is one strategy aimed at improving outcomes. An ideal adjunct agent would improve glycemic control, reduce weight (or weight gain), reduce insulin requirement and prevent complications (e.g. cardiorenal) without increasing hypoglycemia. The amylin analogue pramlintide has been licensed in the USA, while the sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin, was briefly (2019 - 2021) licensed for type 1 diabetes in Europe and the UK. However, other agents from the type 2 diabetes (T2D) arena including metformin, other SGLT2is, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-4) inhibitors have been investigated. EXPERT OPINION As evidence emerges for cardiorenal protection by SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs in T2D, it has become increasingly important to know whether people with T1D can also benefit. Here, we review recent trials of adjunct agents in T1D and discuss the efficacy and safety of these agents (alone and in combination) in an era in which continuous glucose monitoring is becoming standard of care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Historically, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality in persons with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been increased compared to the general population. Contemporary studies on time trends of mortality and cardiovascular disease are sparse. METHODS In this observational study, T1D persons were identified in the Swedish National Diabetes Registry (n=45,575) and compared with matched controls from the general population (n=220,141). Incidence rates from 2002 to 2019 were estimated with respect to mortality and cardiovascular disease in persons with T1D overall and when stratified for prevalent cardiovascular and renal disease relative to controls. FINDINGS Mean age in persons with T1D was 32.4 years and 44.9% (20,446/45,575) were women. Age- and sex- adjusted mortality rates declined over time in both groups but remained significantly higher in those with T1D compared to controls during 2017-2019, 7.62 (95% CI 7.16; 8·08) vs. 2.23 (95% CI 2.13; 2.33) deaths per 1,000 person years. Myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke decreased over time in both groups, with persistent excess risks in the range of 3.4-5.0 times from 2017 to 2019 in those with T1D. T1D persons ≥45 years without previous renal or cardiovascular complications had standardized mortality rates similar or even lower than controls 5.55 (4.51; 6.60) vs.7.08 (6.75; 7.40) respectively in the last time period. INTERPRETATION Excess mortality persisted over time in persons with T1D, largely in patients with cardiorenal complications. Improved secondary prevention with a focus on individualized treatment is needed to close the gap in mortality for individuals with T1D. FUNDING This study was financed by grants from the ALF-agreement, NovoNordisk Foundation and the Swedish Heart and Lung Foundation.

Safety profile of sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors: A brief summary. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1010693.

Abstract
A new therapeutic class of oral agents firstly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is represented by gliflozines or sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors might be effective alone or in combination with any other drugs. This therapeutic class currently includes five agents: canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, ertugliflozin, and sotagliflozin. SGLT2 inhibitors prevent the renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and sodium by blocking the SGLT2 co-transporters in the proximal convoluted renal tubule, facilitating glucose excretion in the urine (glycosuria) and lowering blood glucose levels. SGLT2 inhibitors have also shown to have pleiotropic effects and determine cardiovascular and renal prevention, thus leading to an extension of their therapeutic indication to include the heart failure. Despite their clinical benefits, warnings about adverse events have been implemented by Regulatory Agencies in the product's information since their introduction to the market. In particular, SGLT2 inhibitors have shown a strong impact on a high number of risk factors. They can cause hypoglycaemia, hypotension, lower limb amputation, fractures, genito-urinary infections, and diabetic ketoacidosis with different frequencies of onset. Despite some of these events are rare, they can lead to serious and dangerous complications, highlighting the importance of a strict monitoring of patients. Overall, SLGT-2 inhibitors are effective antidiabetic drugs with favorable advantages in renal and cardiovascular protection, and with a generally well-tolerated safety profile. This review aims to summarize the safety profile of SGLT2 inhibitors available in the market.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The indication for treatment of type 1 diabetes(T1D) with the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) dapagliflozin has been withdrawn in Europe likely because of concern for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We calculated the incidence of DKA in people with T1D treated with SGLT2i in Denmark. METHODS Clinical data from adults with T1D in Denmark were collected from nine outpatient clinics. Electronic health records made the search for DKA accurate. RESULTS From a population of 10.500 we observed 134 people treated with SGLT2i over a total period of 222 patient-years. Of those 72% were female, mean age (SD) was 51.4 (13.6) years and median duration of treatment (median, IQR) with an SGLT2i were 12.0 (6.0-29.0) months. The incidence of DKA was zero%. CONCLUSION In 134 people with T1D treated with SGLT2i we found that none of the participants developed DKA during the treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review is to summarize existing research investigating the use of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) while highlighting potential strategies to mitigate the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). RECENT FINDINGS SGLT2 inhibitors have been studied in patients with T1DM in phase 3 clinical trials such as the inTandem, DEPICT, and EASE trials, which demonstrated consistent reductions in HbA1c. Secondary analyses of these trials have also reported potential kidney protective effects that are independent of improved glycemic control. However, trials in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have found an increased risk of DKA with SGLT2 inhibitors, a serious concern in patients with T1DM. SGLT2 inhibitors provide cardiovascular benefits and kidney protection in patients with T2DM and are a promising therapeutic option for patients with T1DM due to overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms. However, SGLT2 inhibitors increase the risk of DKA, and there is currently a lack of research investigating the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T1DM. Preventative measure for DKA would have to be implemented and the risks would need to be carefully balanced with the benefits offered by SGLT2 inhibitors. Additional research will also be required to determine the kidney protective effects of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with T1DM and diabetic kidney disease and to quantify the risk of DKA after the implementation of preventative measures, proper patient education, and ketone monitoring.

Abstract
Recent insights into the pathophysiologic underlying mechanisms of obesity have led to the discovery of several promising drug targets and novel therapeutic strategies to address the global obesity epidemic and its comorbidities. Current pharmacologic options for obesity management are largely limited in number and of modest efficacy/safety profile. Therefore, the need for safe and more efficacious new agents is urgent. Drugs that are currently under investigation modulate targets across a broad range of systems and tissues, including the central nervous system, gastrointestinal hormones, adipose tissue, kidney, liver, and skeletal muscle. Beyond pharmacotherapeutics, other potential antiobesity strategies are being explored, including novel drug delivery systems, vaccines, modulation of the gut microbiome, and gene therapy. The present review summarizes the pathophysiology of energy homeostasis and highlights pathways being explored in the effort to develop novel antiobesity medications and interventions but does not cover devices and bariatric methods. Emerging pharmacologic agents and alternative approaches targeting these pathways and relevant research in both animals and humans are presented in detail. Special emphasis is given to treatment options at the end of the development pipeline and closer to the clinic (ie, compounds that have a higher chance to be added to our therapeutic armamentarium in the near future). Ultimately, advancements in our understanding of the pathophysiology and interindividual variation of obesity may lead to multimodal and personalized approaches to obesity treatment that will result in safe, effective, and sustainable weight loss until the root causes of the problem are identified and addressed.

The Reporting Frequency of Ketoacidosis Events with Dapagliflozin from the European Spontaneous Reporting System: The DAPA-KETO Study. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15030286.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin was associated with an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis that has led to the European withdrawal of the authorization for the type 1 diabetes. However, it is still used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the occurrence of dapagliflozin-induced ketoacidosis events by using the European spontaneous reporting system. The reporting odds ratios (ROR) were computed to assess the reporting frequency of ketoacidosis events for dapagliflozin compared to Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, insulins, or all other Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. A total of 2406 cases with dapagliflozin reported at least one event of ketoacidosis. The three most reported events were: diabetic ketoacidosis (1412; 55.39%), ketoacidosis (476; 18.67%), and euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (296; 11.61%). Dapagliflozin was associated with the higher reporting frequency of ketoacidosis events compared to DPP-4 inhibitors (ROR 12.07, 95%CI 11.67–13.81) or insulins (ROR 7.59, 95%CI 7.13–7.89). A lower reporting frequency was instead observed compared to other SGLT2 inhibitors (ROR 0.91, 95%CI 0.87–0.96). Considering the higher reporting frequency of ketoacidosis observed with dapagliflozin then DPP-4 inhibitors or insulins, attention should be given to patients treated with this drug.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) do not reach the blood glucose goal with treatment of insulin. In our research, we intended to estimate the therapeutic effect and safety of additional different doses of dapagliflozin on insulin treatment in T1DM. METHODS We performed direct and indirect network meta-analysis using Bayesian models and graded different dosages of dapagliflozin by mixed therapy contrasts. We retrieved information from the PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine (CBM) disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and WEIPU Data. Our research included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) including T1DM treated with insulin and additional dapagliflozin 5 mg or dapagliflozin 10 mg from January 2012 to June 2021. Thirteen RCTs with 10,701 participants were divided into three groups as below: insulin alone, dapagliflozin 5 mg + insulin, and dapagliflozin 10 mg + insulin. RESULTS Dapagliflozin dose-dependently exhibited reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total insulin daily dose (TDD), and body weight. Neither dapagliflozin 5 mg nor 10 mg could induce hypoglycemia or severe hypoglycemia. However, both doses of dapagliflozin increased the incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and genital infection. CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin 10 mg could achieve a better outcome in efficacy and could not increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Although it may induce a higher risk of DKA and genital infection, there was no significant difference between dapagliflozin 10 mg and 5 mg. Our outcomes indicate that dapagliflozin 10mg has a high reliability of being graded prior as a supplementary treatment to insulin in T1DM.

Abstract
As closed-loop insulin therapies emerge into clinical practice and evolve in medical research for type 1 diabetes (T1D) treatment, the limitations in these therapies become more evident. These gaps include unachieved target levels of glycated hemoglobin in some patients, postprandial hyperglycemia, the ongoing need for carbohydrate counting, and the lack of non-glycemic benefits (such as prevention of metabolic syndrome and complications). Multiple adjunct therapies have been examined to improve closed-loop systems, yet none have become a staple. Sodium-glucose-linked cotransporter inhibitors (SGLTi's) have been extensively researched in T1D, with average reductions in placebo-adjusted HbA1c by 0.39%, and total daily dose by approximately 10%. Unfortunately, many trials revealed an increased risk of diabetic ketoacidosis, as high as 5 times the relative risk compared to placebo. This narrative review discusses the proven benefits and risks of SGLTi in patients with T1D with routine therapy, what has been studied thus far in closed-loop therapy in combination with SGLTi, the potential benefits of SGLTi use to closed-loop systems, and what is required going forward to improve the benefit to risk ratio in these insulin systems.

Abstract
Although type 1 diabetes is traditionally considered a disease of lean people, overweight and obesity are becoming increasingly more common in individuals with type 1 diabetes. Non-physiological insulin replacement that causes peripheral hyperinsulinaemia, insulin profiles that do not match basal and mealtime insulin needs, defensive snacking to avoid hypoglycaemia, or a combination of these, are believed to affect body composition and drive excessive accumulation of body fat in people with type 1 diabetes. The consequences of overweight or obesity in people with type 1 diabetes are of particular concern, as they increase the risk of both diabetes-related and obesity-related complications, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and various types of cancer. In this Review, we summarise the current understanding of the aetiology and consequences of excessive bodyweight in people with type 1 diabetes and highlight the need to optimise future prevention and treatment strategies in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SGLT2 inhibitors increase plasma ketone concentrations. It has been suggested that insulinopenia, along with an increase in the counter-regulatory hormones epinephrine, corticosterone, glucagon and growth hormone, can induce ketoacidosis, especially in type-1 diabetes (T1DM). Dehydration precipitates SGLT2 inhibitor-induced ketoacidosis in type-2 diabetes. We studied the effects of dapagliflozin and water deprivation on the development of ketoacidosis and the associated signaling pathways in T1DM mice. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet. After 7 days, some mice received intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin + alloxan (STZ/ALX). The treatment groups were control + water at lib; control + dapagloflozin + water at lib; control + dapagloflozin + water deprivation; STZ/ALX + water at lib; STZ/ALX + water deprivation; STZ/ALX + dapagloflozin + water at lib; STZ/ALX + dapagloflozin + water deprivation. Dapagliflozin was given for 7 days. In the morning of day 18, food was removed, and water was removed in the water deprivation groups. ELISA, rt-PCR, and immunoblotting were used to assess blood, heart, liver, white and brown adipose tissues. RESULTS The T1DM mice had ketoacidosis even without water deprivation. Water deprivation increased plasma levels of β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, corticosterone, and epinephrine and reduced the levels of adiponectin in T1DM mice. Interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα were also increased in the T1DM mice with water deprivation. Dapagliflozin attenuated the changes in the T1DM mice without and with water deprivation. Likewise, water deprivation increased the activation of the inflammasome in the heart, liver, and white fat of the T1DM mice and dapagliflozin attenuated these changes. Dapagliflozin reduced the mRNA levels of glucagon receptors in the liver and the increase in GPR109a in white and brown fat. In the liver, dapagliflozin increased AMPK phosphorylation, and attenuated the phosphorylation of TBK1 and the activation of NFκB. CONCLUSIONS Dapagliflozin reduced ketone body levels and attenuated the activation of NFκB and the activation of the inflammasome in T1DM mice with ketoacidosis.

Abstract
Despite the improvements in insulin therapy, many patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) do not achieve glycemic targets. Hypoglycemia and weight gain are important barriers in reaching these targets. Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lack these side effects and have an insulin-independent mechanism of action. Therefore, they might be useful in patients with T1DM. The authors discuss the safety and efficacy of SGLT2 inhibitors in T1DM. Several randomized controlled trials have evaluated dapagliflozin, sotagliflozin and empagliflozin in this population whereas fewer data are available for other members of this class. In these studies, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced HbA1c levels and body weight without a greater risk of hypoglycemia. However, a higher incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was observed in patients treated with these agents. SGLT2 inhibitors improve glycemic control in patients with T1DM but this effect is modest. Even though weight loss and the neutral effect on the incidence of hypoglycemia are advantages of these agents, the increased risk of DKA is a cause of concern. Overall, SGLT2 inhibitors should be used with caution and only in carefully selected patients with T1DM who are motivated, adherent to treatment, well-trained in recognizing DKA and are closely followed-up.

Long-term efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in patients with inadequately controlled type 1 diabetes: pooled 52-week outcomes from the DEPICT-1 and -2 studies. Diabetes Obes Metab 2021; 23:549-560. [PMID: 33145944 PMCID: PMC7839492 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 10/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunct dapagliflozin therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). MATERIALS AND METHODS DEPICT-1 and -2 were randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 24-week studies, with 28-week extension periods. Adults with T1D and HbA1c 7.5%-10.5% were randomized (1:1:1) to receive dapagliflozin 5 mg, 10 mg or placebo. The short- and long-term efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin were examined in an exploratory pooled analysis of both studies. RESULTS Efficacy analyses included 530, 529 and 532 and safety analysis included 548, 566 and 532 patients in the dapagliflozin 5 mg, 10 mg and placebo groups, respectively. Baseline characteristics were similar between treatment groups. At week 24, reductions were seen with dapagliflozin 5 and 10 mg compared with placebo in HbA1c (-0.40%, -0.43% vs. 0.00%) and body weight (-2.45, -2.91 vs. 0.11 kg). HbA1c and body weight reductions versus placebo were also seen after 52 weeks of treatment. There was no imbalance in occurrence of severe hypoglycaemic events between groups. The proportion of patients experiencing definite diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was higher with dapagliflozin 5 mg (4.0%) and 10 mg (3.5%) compared with placebo (1.1%) over 52 weeks; most events were of mild or moderate severity, and all resolved with treatment. CONCLUSIONS Over 52 weeks, dapagliflozin provided glycaemic and weight benefits, with no increased frequency of severe hypoglycaemia compared with placebo. More DKA events were reported with dapagliflozin than placebo, highlighting the importance of appropriate patient selection, education and risk-mitigation strategies.
