Knowledge and prescribing behaviour of Flemish general practitioners regarding novel glucose-lowering medications: Online cross-sectional survey. Prim Care Diabetes 2024:S1751-9918(24)00115-3. [PMID: 38862313 DOI: 10.1016/j.pcd.2024.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To determine the knowledge and prescribing behaviour regarding new type 2 diabetes medication in general practice. Physicians in Belgium are bound by the prescription criteria which do not always correspond to the international guidelines. DESIGN & METHOD A mixed methods study with an online questionnaire was conducted in Flanders to collect data on demographic characteristics, theoretical knowledge, and prescribing behaviour, using ten theoretical questions and six clinical cases, based on the American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (ADA/EASD) guidelines and the Belgian reimbursement criteria. RESULTS 201 GPs and GPs in training were included in this study with a median age of 30 years and 68 % female participants. On the knowledge questionnaire, the mean test result was 7.15/15 (= 48 %) with a median of 8. Further analysis showed that 90 % of the respondents correctly recommended a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (sglt2) inhibitor when the clinical case showed a comorbidity of heart failure, whereas only 42 % suggested correctly a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist if presence of cardiovascular disease. Subgroup analysis showed no statistically significant demographic differences in obtained test results. Regarding prescription behaviour, 23 % of the respondents would prescribe medication that did not match the reimbursement criteria in at least one of the 6 proposed clinical cases. CONCLUSION This study highlights the need for enhanced knowledge and updated prescribing practices among Flemish GPs and Trainee GPs to effectively manage patients with T2DM.

Abstract
The spectrum of cardiorenal and metabolic diseases comprises many disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease (CKD), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), heart failure (HF), dyslipidemias, hypertension, and associated comorbidities such as pulmonary diseases and metabolism dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and metabolism dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASLD and MASH, respectively, formerly known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [NAFLD and NASH]). Because cardiorenal and metabolic diseases share pathophysiologic pathways, two or more are often present in the same individual. Findings from recent outcome trials have demonstrated benefits of various treatments across a range of conditions, suggesting a need for practice recommendations that will guide clinicians to better manage complex conditions involving diabetes, cardiorenal, and/or metabolic (DCRM) diseases. To meet this need, we formed an international volunteer task force comprising leading cardiologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, and primary care physicians to develop the DCRM 2.0 Practice Recommendations, an updated and expanded revision of a previously published multispecialty consensus on the comprehensive management of persons living with DCRM. The recommendations are presented as 22 separate graphics covering the essentials of management to improve general health, control cardiorenal risk factors, and manage cardiorenal and metabolic comorbidities, leading to improved patient outcomes.

Cureus 2024; 16:e60344. [PMID: 38883096 PMCID: PMC11177799 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.60344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant public health issue, particularly prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). CKD occurs in approximately 20% to 40% of adults with diabetes mellitus. Sudoscan potentially detects CKD early, providing a non-invasive and convenient alternative to traditional screening methods that rely on serum creatinine and urine albumin levels. This research involves 271 patients from a single medical center over one year, with all participants providing informed consent. The prevalence of CKD in our group was 26.5% (n = 72). This study integrates a comprehensive examination, including anthropometric measurements, biochemical profiles, and Sudoscan's electrochemical skin conductance testing. CKD diagnosis was confirmed via estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). The aim of this study was to explore the utility of Sudoscan in detecting CKD among patients with T2DM. Statistical analysis reveals moderate correlations between Sudoscan scores and traditional CKD markers like eGFR and albuminuria. It is beneficial in settings where conventional testing is less accessible, suggesting potential for broader CKD screening programs. Key findings suggest that Sudoscan can identify early renal dysfunction with reasonable sensitivity and specificity. Integrating Sudoscan in regular CKD screening could enhance early detection, allowing for timely interventions to prevent progression to end-stage renal disease and reduce healthcare burdens associated with advanced CKD. The results contribute to the ongoing assessment of innovative technologies in managing chronic diseases related to diabetes.

Effect of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes: a 5-year cohort follow-up managed by a dynamic multidisciplinary team in Northeastern Mexico. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:94. [PMID: 38664823 PMCID: PMC11044561 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01318-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic brought a radical shift in the healthcare system and suboptimal care for vulnerable patients, such as those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). Therefore, we compared metabolic control and macro/microvascular complications of patients with T2D before and throughout the three-year SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospective observational cohort of subjects with T2D studied from 2018 to 2022 in Northern Mexico was treated by a dynamic multidisciplinary team. Levels of Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting serum glucose (FG), LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C), blood pressure (BP), albuminuria, triglycerides, Body Mass Index (BMI), and FIB-4 score, micro and macrovascular complications were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 999 patients were studied, 51.7% males with a mean (SD) age of 60.1 (12.7) years. Adequate glycemic control based on HbA1c increased by 15.2% and 42.3% in FSG (p < 0.001) between the beginning 2018 and the end of 2022. LDL-C control decreased by 5.1% between 2018 and 2022 (p < 0.001). Systolic BP control decreased by 2.6% (p < 0.001), whereas diastolic BP control increased by 1.8% (p = 0.01) between 2018 and 2022. Albuminuria control increased by 8.5% (p = 0.002). When comparing the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of metabolic parameters between patients who developed SARS-CoV-2 vs. those who did not, AUC was statistically higher in those who developed SARS-CoV-2 (p < 0.05). Diabetic neuropathy was the most prevalent microvascular complication (n = 35; 3.6%); ischemic heart disease was the most frequent macrovascular complication (n = 11;1.1%). CONCLUSIONS A multidisciplinary dynamic team that adapts to the pandemic SARS-CoV-2 maintains and increases metabolic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes in Mexico. This represents a low percentage of chronic complications. The AUC of metabolic parameters of subjects with SARS-CoV-2 infection is higher, reflecting more variability in metabolic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited direct comparative studies exist in terms of the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is) on the kidney outcomes in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 561 Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes, who were newly prescribed either an SGLT2i or a DPP4i and had an eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. The cohort comprised 207 women and 354 men, with a mean (± standard deviation) age of 63 (± 12) years. The exposure and outcome were SGLT2i or DPP4i initiation and eGFR slope during the overall follow-up period, restricted to participants who were followed for ≥2 years. We adopted the on-treatment analysis. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the adjusted eGFR slope between the two groups, incorporating 10 variables at baseline. RESULTS During the median follow-up period of 3.4 years, least square mean (95% CI) eGFR slopes were -1.91 (-2.15, -1.67) and -1.12 (-1.58, -0.67) mL/min/1.73 m2/year in individuals treated with a DPP4i (n = 460) and an SGLT2i (n = 101), respectively, demonstrating statistical significance (p = 0.002). The robustness of this finding was strengthened by sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS This study provides potential evidence of the superiority of SGLT2is over DPP4is in slowing kidney function decline in Japanese adults with type 2 diabetes and eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) share common pathophysiology and pose an additive risk of early mortality. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In adults with type 1 diabetes, 49 metabolites previously associated with either DR or DKD were assessed in relation to presence of DSPN. Metabolites overlapping in significance with presence of all three complications were assessed in relation to microvascular burden severity (additive number of complications-ie, presence of DKD±DR±DSPN) using linear regression models. Subsequently, the same metabolites were assessed with progression to endpoints: soft microvascular events (progression in albuminuria grade, ≥30% estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline, or any progression in DR grade), hard microvascular events (progression to proliferative DR, chronic kidney failure, or ≥40% eGFR decline), and hard microvascular or macrovascular events (hard microvascular events, cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, or arterial interventions), or cardiovascular mortality), using Cox models. All models were adjusted for sex, baseline age, diabetes duration, systolic blood pressure, HbA1c, body mass index, total cholesterol, smoking, and statin treatment. RESULTS The full cohort investigated consisted of 487 participants. Mean (SD) follow-up was 4.8 (2.9, 5.7) years. Baseline biothesiometry was available in 202 participants, comprising the cross-sectional cohort. Eight metabolites were significantly associated with presence of DR, DKD, and DSPN, and six with additive microvascular burden severity. In the full cohort longitudinal analysis, higher levels of 3,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid (DHBA), 2,4-DHBA, ribonic acid, glycine, and ribitol were associated with development of events in both crude and adjusted models. Adding 3,4-DHBA, ribonic acid, and glycine to a traditional risk factor model improved the discrimination of hard microvascular events. CONCLUSIONS While prospective studies directly assessing the predictive ability of these markers are needed, our results strengthen the role of clinical metabolomics in relation to risk assessment of diabetic complications in chronic type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
This statement provides guidance for diabetes care in detention facilities. It focuses on areas where the processes for delivery of care to people with diabetes in detention facilities may differ from those in the community, and key points are made at the end of each section. Areas of emphasis, which inform multiple aspects discussed in this statement, include 1) timely identification or diagnosis of diabetes treatment needs and continuity of care (at reception/intake, during transfers, and upon discharge), 2) nutrition and physical activity, 3) timely access to diabetes management tools (insulin, blood glucose monitoring, tracking data, current diabetes management technologies, etc.), and 4) treatment of the whole person with diabetes (self-management education, mental health support, monitoring and addressing long-term complications, specialty care, etc.).

Abstract
We are entering a new era in the management of adiposity-based chronic disease (ABCD) with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related chronic kidney disease (CKD). ABCD, T2D and CKD can affect almost every major organ system and have a particularly strong impact on the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure. ABCD and the associated insulin resistance are at the root of many cardiovascular, renal and metabolic (CKM) disorders, thus an integrated therapeutic framework using weight loss (WL) as a disease-modifying intervention could simplify the therapeutic approach at different stages across the lifespan. The breakthrough of highly effective WL drugs makes achieving a WL of >10% possible, which is required for a potential T2D disease remission as well as for prevention of microvascular disease, CKD, CVD events and overall mortality. The aim of this review is to discuss the link between adiposity and CKM conditions as well as placing weight management at the centre of the holistic CKM syndrome approach with a focus on CKD. We propose the clinical translation of the available evidence into a transformative Dysfunctional Adipose Tissue Approach (DATA) for people living with ABCD, T2D and CKD. This model is based on the interplay of four essential elements (i.e. adipocentric approach and target organ protection, dysfunctional adiposity, glucose homeostasis, and lifestyle intervention and de-prescription) together with a multidisciplinary person-centred care. DATA could facilitate decision-making for all clinicians involved in the management of these individuals, and if we do this in a multidisciplinary way, we are prepared to meet the adipocentric challenge.

Abstract
Key Points Patients with diabetes and CKD have a heightened risk of glycemic variability, which can lead to severe hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic events, potentially resulting in hospitalization. This study describes the results of a retrospective claims analysis of people with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes and stage 3–5 CKD who initiated continuous glucose monitoring. Continuous glucose monitoring could help patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD control their glucose and avoid potentially dangerous glycemic events. Background There is a heightened risk of glycemic variability in patients with diabetes and CKD. This glycemic variability could lead to hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic crises. We hypothesized that initiation of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which provides a glucose measurement every 1–5 minutes, could reduce the incidence of hospitalizations for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and CKD. Methods A retrospective analysis of US administrative claims data from the Optum Clinformatics database was conducted. People with T2D, using insulin, not receiving dialysis, and living with stage 3–5 CKD who initiated CGM between January 1, 2016, and March 31, 2022, were identified. National Drug Codes and Healthcare Common Coding Procedure System codes were used to identify CGM device use, and International Classification of Diseases 10th revision codes were used to identify CKD diagnosis and categorize health care encounters. Rates of diabetes-related hospitalizations were obtained, and multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed predictors of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic encounters. Results A total of 8,959 insulin-using patients with T2D and CKD were identified. Most were White (72.3%), had Medicare insurance coverage (82.2%), were using intensive insulin (91.3%), and had stage 3 CKD (86.0%). After CGM initiation, rates of hospitalizations for hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia decreased by 18.2% and 17.0%, respectively (P < 0.0001 for both). The proportion hospitalized with at least one hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event also significantly decreased after CGM initiation. Significant predictors of both hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic encounters included a previous encounter of that type, age 30–59 years and depression (for hypoglycemia), and age 30–49 years and neuropathy (for hyperglycemia). Use of CGM or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists was significantly protective against hypoglycemic encounters. Conclusions Initiation of CGM was associated with significant reductions in diabetes-related hospitalizations among insulin-using individuals with T2D and moderate-to-severe CKD. CGM could help patients with T2D and CKD control their glucose and avoid potentially dangerous glycemic events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Over the last few years, there has been a substantial increase in the data available about the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in improving cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Very little new information is available for the other groups of glucose-lowering drugs. AREAS COVERED This brief report summarizes the recent information about the respective benefits of the two newer groups of glucose-lowering drugs and the effects on cardiovascular risk factors that may be involved in these benefits. The articles reviewed were identified by a Medline search. EXPERT OPINION Recent guidelines recommend SGLT2 inhibitors or GLP-1 RAs with proven cardiovascular disease benefits as potential first line treatment for patients with T2D and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those with high risk of ASCVD or with chronic kidney disease or heart failure. Both groups of drugs have been shown to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, but the mechanisms vary between them. SGLT2 inhibitors are preferred for the treatment and prevention of heart failure and chronic kidney disease, whereas GLP-1 RAs are more effective in reducing body weight and improving glycemic control in patients with T2D.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents a significant microvascular complication in diabetes, entailing intricate molecular pathways and mechanisms associated with cardiorenal vascular diseases. Prolonged hyperglycemia induces renal endothelial dysfunction and damage via metabolic abnormalities, inflammation, and oxidative stress, thereby compromising hemodynamics. Concurrently, fibrotic and sclerotic alterations exacerbate glomerular and tubular injuries. At a macro level, reciprocal communication between the renal microvasculature and systemic circulation establishes a pernicious cycle propelling disease progression. The current management approach emphasizes rigorous control of glycemic levels and blood pressure, with renin-angiotensin system blockade conferring renoprotection. Novel antidiabetic agents exhibit renoprotective effects, potentially mediated through endothelial modulation. Nonetheless, emerging therapies present novel avenues for enhancing patient outcomes and alleviating the disease burden. A precision-based approach, coupled with a comprehensive strategy addressing global vascular risk, will be pivotal in mitigating the cardiorenal burden associated with diabetes.

Effects of finerenone and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:14. [PMID: 38212831 PMCID: PMC10782753 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01251-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of finerenone and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the relative cardiovascular benefits in patients with or without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease for different outcomes with these classes of drugs. METHODS We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase from January 1, 2000, to December 30, 2022, to identify randomized controlled trials. The primary outcomes were the composite of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death (MACE); hospitalization for heart failure (HHF); and a composite of renal outcomes. The results were reported as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS In total, we identified 11 trials and 73,927 participants, 13,847 (18.7%) in finerenone trials and 60,080 (81.3%) in GLP1-RA trials. Finerenone reduced the risk of MACE by 13% (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.79-0.95; P = 0.003), while GLP1-RA reduced the risk in a similar magnitude by 13% (HR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.83-0.92; P < 0.001). For both drug classes, the effect on lowering the risk of MACE was restricted to approximately 14% in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.82-0.90; P < 0.001), whereas no effect was observed in patients without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.85-1.02; P = 0.12). GLP1-RA reduced myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death more than finerenone (which appeared to have no effect). Only finerenone was beneficial for reducing the risk of HHF (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.66-0.92; P = 0.003). Both finerenone (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.77-0.92; P < 0.001) and GLP1-RA (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.76-0.86; P < 0.001) reduced the risk of kidney disease progression, including macroalbuminuria, and finerenone was superior to GLP1-RA in delaying deterioration of kidney function. CONCLUSIONS Finerenone and GLP1-RA lead to a risk reduction in MACE to a similar degree in patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. For both drug classes, the effect on lowering the risk of progression of kidney disease was also in a similar magnitude in patients with T2DM, whereas only finerenone had a significant protective effect against HHF. Treatment decisions for patients with T2DM should consider the clinical benefit profiles of each drug.
