Abstract
A substantial evidence base supports the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This class of medicines has demonstrated important benefits that extend beyond glucose-lowering efficacy to protective mechanisms capable of slowing or preventing the onset of long-term cardiovascular, renal and metabolic (CVRM) complications, making their use highly applicable for organ protection and the maintenance of long-term health outcomes. SGLT2is have shown cost-effectiveness in T2DM management and economic savings over other glucose-lowering therapies due to reduced incidence of cardiovascular and renal events. National and international guidelines advocate SGLT2i use early in the T2DM management pathway, based upon a plethora of supporting data from large-scale cardiovascular outcome trials, renal outcomes trials and real-world studies. While most people with T2DM would benefit from CVRM protection through SGLT2i use, prescribing hesitancy remains, potentially due to confusion concerning their place in the complex therapeutic paradigm, variation in licensed indications or safety perceptions/misunderstandings associated with historical data that have since been superseded by robust clinical evidence and long-term pharmacovigilance reporting. This latest narrative review developed by the Improving Diabetes Steering Committee (IDSC) outlines the place of SGLT2is within current evidence-informed guidelines, examines their potential as the standard of care for the majority of newly diagnosed people with T2DM and sets into context the perceived risks and proven advantages of SGLT2is in terms of sustained health outcomes. The authors discuss the cost-effectiveness case for SGLT2is and provide user-friendly tools to support healthcare professionals in the correct application of these medicines in T2DM management. The previously published IDSC SGLT2i Prescribing Tool for T2DM Management has undergone updates and reformatting and is now available as a Decision Tool in an interactive pdf format as well as an abbreviated printable A4 poster/wall chart.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors were initially developed for their glucose-lowering effects and have shown a modest glycaemic benefit in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In the past decade, a series of large, robust clinical trials of these therapies have demonstrated striking beneficial effects for various care goals, transforming the chronic disease therapeutic landscape. Cardiovascular safety studies in people with T2DM demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure. Subsequent trials in participants with heart failure with reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors have beneficial effects on heart failure outcomes. In dedicated kidney outcome studies, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the incidence of kidney failure among participants with or without diabetes. Post hoc analyses have suggested a range of other benefits of these drugs in conditions as diverse as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, kidney stone prevention and anaemia. SGLT2 inhibitors have a generally favourable adverse effect profile, although patient selection and medication counselling remain important. Concerted efforts are needed to better integrate these agents into routine care and support long-term medication adherence to close the gap between clinical trial outcomes and those achieved in the real world.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major health problem worldwide. In Italy, despite the decline in CVD mortality and disability-adjusted life years recently observed, CVD remains the leading cause of death. The development of CVD has a complex and multifactorial etiology that involves environmental, lifestyle/behavioral (e.g., unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking, and alcohol abuse), metabolic, and genetic factors. Although a large number of CVD susceptibility genetic variants have been identified, some seem to confer risk according to the genetic background or ethnicity of the population. Some CVD-associated polymorphisms with appreciable frequency in the Italian population may be important contributors to the development and progression of the most prevalent CVD in the population. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the epidemiology of CVD in Italy, as well as to highlight the main genetic, lifestyle/behavioral, and metabolic factors contributing to CVD risk in this population.

Abstract
People with type 2 diabetes mellitus have increased risk of chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Improved care delivery and implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy have contributed to the declining incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in high-income countries. By contrast, the global incidence of chronic kidney disease and associated mortality is either plateaued or increased, leading to escalating direct and indirect medical costs. Given limited resources, better risk stratification approaches to identify people at risk of rapid progression to end-stage kidney disease can reduce therapeutic inertia, facilitate timely interventions and identify the need for early nephrologist referral. Among people with chronic kidney disease G3a and beyond, the kidney failure risk equations (KFRE) have been externally validated and outperformed other risk prediction models. The KFRE can also guide the timing of preparation for kidney replacement therapy with improved healthcare resources planning and may prevent multiple complications and premature mortality among people with chronic kidney disease with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present review summarizes the evidence of KFRE to date and call for future research to validate and evaluate its impact on cardiovascular and mortality outcomes, as well as healthcare resource utilization in multiethnic populations and different healthcare settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour post-challenge glucose (2hPG) levels are known to be independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is limited data on the association of the difference between these measures and the risk of CVD. This study aims to investigate this association in normoglycemic Iranian adults, particularly in those with low-normal FPG levels. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 4,594 30-65-year-old participants from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, education level and FPG, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated for the association between 2hPG-FPG, both as continuous and categorical variables, and the CVD risk. Analyses of receiver operating characteristic curves were undertaken to determine the optimal 2hPG-FPG cut-off value. RESULTS During a median of 17.9 years of follow-up, 459 CVD events occurred. A one-unit increase in 2hPG-FPG was significantly associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in both normoglycemic (HR 1.10, 95% CI (1.01-1.19)) and low-normal FPG individuals (HR 1.16, 95% CI (1.04-1.30)); this association resisted adjustment for Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) among normoglycemic individuals. However, those with 2hPG levels greater than FPG levels had a non-significant increased risk of incident CVD compared to those with 2hPG levels of less than or equal to FPG, with corresponding HR values of 1.18 (95% CI: 0.95-1.46) in normoglycemic and 1.32 (95% CI: 0.98-1.79) in low-normal FPG, respectively. For incident CVD, the optimal cut-off value for the 2hPG-FPG was found to be 1.06 mmol/L, which was applicable for both normoglycemic and low FPG populations; using this criterion, the corresponding risks for incident CVD were 1.36 (95% CI: 1.12-1.64) and 1.57 (95% CI: 1.22-2.03), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The difference between 2hPG and FPG levels within the normoglycemic range is related to an increased risk of CVD, an issue that was independent of HOMA-IR. A cut-off point for 2hPG-FPG > 1.06 mmol/L may stratify persons at higher risk. These findings were particularly notable in those with low-normal FPG.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment on weight control in patients with diabetes and obesity. DESIGN Epidemiological, descriptive, cross-sectional study. SITE: Primary care. In 11 health centres in Málaga and Cádiz during April and October 2022. PARTICIPANTS 281 patients over 18 years old with type 2 diabetes and obesity are included. MAIN MEASUREMENTS Socio-demographics, clinical, treatment and lifestyle habits variables were obtained from medical records and personal interview. Descriptive statistics were obtained for continuous variables. Statistical tests were performed based on the nature of the variables. RESULTS Variables like marital status, level of education and occupation, and smoking habit, shows differences regarding the sex (p<0.05). 82.3% of those who received education lost weight, compared to 67.5% of lost weight who received no health education (p=0.004). GLP1 and SGLT2 were more commonly prescribed for women (p=0.048), and SGLT2 more commonly prescribed for men (p=0.047). Patients taking GLP1, SGLT2 or both, regardless of sex, weight loss during the study period was -3.1kg (SE: 0.60), while the loss of those who took other medications was -1.33kg (SE: 0.62). The mean difference was 1.75kg (p=0.046). CONCLUSIONS In terms of weight loss, obese diabetics who took GLP1, SGLT2 or both were 2.5 times more likely to lose weight than those who did not. Healthy lifestyle choices are key to weight loss in obese diabetic patients.

Abstract
Background Diabetes is a major public health concern. We aimed to evaluate the long-term risk of incident type 2 diabetes in a non-diabetic population using a deep learning model (DLM) detecting prevalent type 2 diabetes using electrocardiogram (ECG). Methods In this retrospective study, participants who underwent health checkups at two tertiary hospitals in Seoul, South Korea, between Jan 1, 2001 and Dec 31, 2022 were included. Type 2 diabetes was defined as glucose ≥126 mg/dL or glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.5%. For survival analysis on incident type 2 diabetes, we introduced an additional variable, diabetic ECG, which is determined by the DLM trained on ECG and corresponding prevalent diabetes. It was assumed that non-diabetic individuals with diabetic ECG had a higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes than those with non-diabetic ECG. The one-dimensional ResNet-based model was adopted for the DLM, and the Guided Grad-CAM was used to localise important regions of ECG. We divided the non-diabetic group into the diabetic ECG group (false positive) and the non-diabetic ECG (true negative) group according to the DLM decision, and performed a Cox proportional hazard model, considering the occurrence of type 2 diabetes more than six months after the visit. Findings 190,581 individuals were included in the study with a median follow-up period of 11.84 years. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve for prevalent type 2 diabetes detection were 0.816 (0.807-0.825) and 0.762 (0.754-0.770) for the internal and external validations, respectively. The model primarily focused on the QRS duration and, occasionally, P or T waves. The diabetic ECG group exhibited an increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes compared with the non-diabetic ECG group, with hazard ratios of 2.15 (1.82-2.53) and 1.92 (1.74-2.11) for internal and external validation, respectively. Interpretation In the non-diabetic group, those whose ECG was classified as diabetes by the DLM were at a higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes than those whose ECG was not. Additional clinical research on the relationship between the phenotype of ECG and diabetes to support the results and further investigation with tracked data and various ECG recording systems are suggested for future works.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, peripheral arterial disease (PAD), heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common cardiovascular renal diseases (CVRD) manifestations for type 2 diabetes. The objective was to estimate the incidence of the first occurring CVRD manifestation and cumulative hospitalization costs of each CVRD manifestation for type 2 diabetes without CVRD history. METHODS A cohort study of all type 2 diabetes free of CVRD as of January 1st 2014, was identified and followed-up for 5 years within the French SNDS nationwide claims database. The cumulative incidence of the first occurring CVRD manifestation was estimated using the cumulative incidence function, with death as a competing risk. Cumulative hospitalization costs of each CVRD manifestations were estimated from the perspective of all payers. RESULTS From 2,079,089 type 2 diabetes without cancer or transplantation, 76.5% were free of CVRD at baseline with a mean age of 65 years, 52% of women and 7% with microvascular complications history. The cumulative incidence of a first CVRD manifestation was 15.3% after 5 years of follow-up with a constant linear increase over time for all CVRD manifestations: The most frequent was CKD representing 40.6% of first occurred CVRD manifestation, followed by HF (23.0%), then PAD (13.5%), stroke (13.2%) and MI (9.7%). HF and CKD together reached about one patient out of ten after 5 years and represented 63.6% of first CVRD manifestations. The 5-year global cost of all CVRD hospitalizations was 3.9 billion euros (B€), i.e. 2,450€ per patient of the whole cohort, with an exponential increase over time for each specific CVRD manifestation. The costliest was CKD (2.0 B€), followed by HF (1.2 B€), then PAD (0.7 B€), stroke (0.6 B€) and MI (0.3 B€). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION While MI, stroke and PAD remain classic major risks of complications for CVRD-free type 2 diabetes, HF and CKD nowadays represent individually a higher risk and cost than each of these classic manifestations, and jointly represents a risk and a cost twice as high as these three classic manifestations all together. This should encourage the development of specific HF and CKD preventive strategies.

Abstract
Introduction Reducing multiple cardiovascular risk factors is a key link and a challenging clinical problem to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and death in patients with diabetes. Currently, there is a lack of clinical studies on patients with diabetes combined with multiple risk factors. Traditional Chinese medicine is believed to have therapeutic effects that contribute to the comprehensive control of multiple cardiovascular factors. This study aims to provide evidence for the efficacy and safety of Shenqi compound (SQC) for early intervention in diabetic patients at high cardiovascular risk. Methods and analysis This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 120 diabetic patients with high cardiovascular risk were enrolled in five research centers. After a 2-week run-in period, the intervention group received basic treatment and SQC granules, and the control group received basic treatment and placebo granules for a total of 24 weeks, with a 24-week follow-up. The endpoint outcomes are major adverse cardiovascular events and renal-related and peripheral vascular disease events. The primary efficacy outcome is carotid intima-media thickness, and the secondary efficacy outcomes are carotid shear stress, indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism, pancreatic islets function, hemorheology, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, and quality of life scale. Safety indicators and adverse events were used to assess the safety of SQC. Discussion This study comprehensively evaluated the efficacy and safety of SQC for early intervention in diabetic patients at high cardiovascular risk from the aspects of overall metabolic level, structure, and function of blood vessels, quality of life, and long-term follow-up of endpoint events, providing evidence-based evidence for the short-term efficacy and long-term benefits of early treatment to reduce the risk of diabetic cardiovascular complications.Trial Registration: This trial is registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on March 9, 2023, https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=192803 (No. ChiCTR2300069219).

Abstract
AIM Given a lack of data on diabetes care performance in Malaysia, we conducted a cross-sectional study to understand the clinical characteristics, control of cardiometabolic risk factors, and patterns of use of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who were managed at publicly-funded hospitals between December 2021 and June 2022. METHODS Patients aged ≥18 years with T2D from eight publicly-funded hospitals in the Greater Kuala Lumpur region, who had ≥2 outpatient visits within the preceding year and irrespective of treatment regimen, were eligible. The primary outcome was ≥2 treatment target attainment (defined as either HbA1c <7.0%, blood pressure [BP] <130/80 mmHg, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] <1.8 mmol/L). The secondary outcomes were the individual treatment target, a combination of all three treatment targets, and patterns of GDMT use. To assess for potential heterogeneity of study findings, all outcomes were stratified according to prespecified baseline characteristics namely 1) history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD; yes/no) and 2) clinic type (Diabetes specialist versus General medicine). RESULTS Among 5094 patients (mean±SD age 59.0±13.2 years; T2D duration 14.8±9.2 years; HbA1c 8.2±1.9% (66±21 mmol/mol); BMI 29.6±6.2 kg/m2; 45.6% men), 99% were at high/very high cardiorenal risk. Attainment of ≥2 treatment targets was at 18%, being higher in General medicine than in Diabetes specialist clinics (20.8% versus 17.5%; p = 0.039). The overall statin coverage was 90%. More patients with prior ASCVD attained LDL-C <1.4 mmol/L than those without (13.5% versus 8.4%; p<0.001). Use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (13.2% versus 43.2%), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) (1.0% versus 6.2%), and insulin (27.7% versus 58.1%) were lower in General medicine than in Diabetes specialist clinics. CONCLUSIONS Among high-risk patients with T2D, treatment target attainment and use of GDMT were suboptimal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with diabetes have an increased risk of heart failure (HF), compared to those without diabetes. However, no comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis has explored whether these associations could differ in relation to prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD). AIMS To estimate the association between diabetes and incident heart failure (HF), compared to without diabetes, in individuals with and without CVD. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for observational cohort studies from the earliest dates to 22nd March 2023. A random-effects model calculated the pooled relative risk (RR). RESULTS Of 11,609 articles, 31 and 6 studies reported data in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) respectively. Individuals with T2D had an increased risk of HF irrespective of CVD prevalence: 1.61 (95% CI: 1.35-1.92) in those with CVD; 1.78 (1.60-1.99) without CVD; and 2.02 (1.75-2.33) with unspecified CVD prevalence. Meta-regression did not identify a significant difference comparing HF risk in T2D individuals with vs. without CVD (p = 0.232). CONCLUSION Peoplewith T2D, compared to those without diabetes, have similar increased risk of HF, regardless of CVD prevalence. Strategiesproven to lower HF risk in T2D individuals should be prioritized for those with and without CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins reduce LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular events among those with or without diabetes but have been reported to increase new-onset diabetes. The CLEAR Outcomes trial demonstrated that bempedoic acid reduced the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events among statin-intolerant patients at high cardiovascular risk. In this prespecified analysis, our dual aims were to evaluate the cardiovascular benefits of bempedoic acid, an ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor, in individuals with diabetes, and to evaluate the risk of new-onset diabetes and HbA1c among those without diabetes in the CLEAR Outcomes trial. METHODS CLEAR Outcomes was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted across 1250 primary care and outpatient sites in 32 countries. Patients with or without cardiovascular disease who were unwilling or unable to take guideline-recommended doses of statins and an LDL cholesterol of 2·59 mmol/L or more were randomly assigned (1:1) in a double-blinded manner to either bempedoic acid 180 mg once per day or placebo. In this prespecified analysis, the efficacy endpoint was a time-to-event analysis of four-component major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE-4), which is the composite of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or coronary revascularisation, using the intention-to-treat population stratified by baseline glycaemia status. The prespecified analysis of risk of new-onset diabetes and HbA1c increase was evaluated in patients without diabetes at baseline. The CLEAR Outcomes trial was completed on Nov 7, 2022, and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02993406). FINDINGS Between Dec 22, 2016, and Nov 7, 2022, 13 970 patients were screened and randomly assigned; 6373 (45·6%) with diabetes, 5796 (41·5%) with prediabetes, and 1801 (12·9%) with normoglycaemia. Over a median of 3·4 years follow up, patients with diabetes had significant relative and absolute cardiovascular risk reductions in MACE-4 endpoints with bempedoic acid (HR 0·83; 95% CI 0·72-0·95; absolute risk reduction of 2·4%) compared to placebo, with no statistical evidence of effect modification across glycaemic strata (interaction p=0·42). The proportion of patients who developed new-onset diabetes were similar between the bempedoic acid and placebo groups, with 429 of 3848 (11·1%) with bempedoic acid versus 433 of 3749 (11·5%) with placebo (HR 0·95; 95% CI 0·83-1·09). HbA1c concentrations at month 12 and the end of the study were similar between randomised groups in patients who had prediabetes and normoglycaemia. Placebo-corrected LDL cholesterol concentrations and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein at 6 months were reduced in each glycaemic stratum (diabetes, prediabtes, and normoglycaemia) for patients randomly assigned to bempedoic acid (all p<0·001). INTERPRETATION Among patients with diabetes, bempedoic acid reduces LDL cholesterol and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and risk of cardiovascular events. Patients without diabetes had no increase in new-onset diabetes or worsening HbA1c with bempedoic acid. The efficacy and cardiometabolic safety profile of bempedoic acid makes it a clinical option for those with and without diabetes. FUNDING Esperion Therapeutics.

Abstract
Background Chronic low-grade inflammation is the common mechanism of both atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been emerged as a novel and simple inflammatory biomarker. However, the association between SII and glycemic metabolism and their synergetic effect on the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients remains unclear. Methods A total of 8602 patients hospitalized for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and target vessel revascularization. According to the optimal cut-off value of SII for MACEs, patients were grouped into higher levels of SII (SII-H) and lower levels of SII (SII-L) and further divided by the concomitance of T2DM into four groups: SII-H/T2DM, SII-H/Non-T2DM, SII-L/T2DM, SII-L/Non-T2DM. Results During a median 2.4-year follow-up, 522 MACEs occurred. The optimal cut-off value of SII for MACEs was 502.5. A 1-unit increase of SII (transformed by natural logarithm) was associated with a 29% increase of MACE risks in the T2DM cohort [adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.29, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03 to 1.61, P = 0.024], while had no effect in the non-T2DM cohort (HR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.80 to 1.34, P = 0.800). Compared to those in SII-H/T2DM group, patients in SII-H/Non-T2DM, SII-L/T2DM, SII-L/Non-T2DM had significantly decreased risk of MACEs [adjusted HR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.61 to 0.98, P = 0.036; adjusted HR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.50 to 0.87, P = 0.003; adjusted HR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.45 to 0.74, P < 0.001; respectively]. Multivariable Cox regression analysis also indicated the highest risk in T2DM patients with higher levels of SII than others (P for trend < 0.001). Conclusion In this large-scale real-world study, diabetic patients with elevated SII levels were associated with worse clinical outcomes after PCI.

Abstract
Aims Serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been previously linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) according to various observational studies. However, whether this association is causally linked or simply influenced by confounding factors is unclear. Therefore, this study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the causality between SUA levels and the risk of CVD in individuals with T2D. Methods Our study cohort consisted of 5723 participants who were diagnosed with T2D in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999-2018. The study assessed the association between SUA levels and the risk of CVD using a multivariable logistic regression model. To further examine causality between SUA levels and CVD, a two-sample MR study was conducted utilizing genetic data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving over 140,000 individuals. The main MR analysis employed the inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) method. Additionally, several sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness and pleiotropy of the results. Results In the cross-sectional study, after multivariable adjustment, participants with SUA levels >6.7 mg/dL exhibited odds ratios (ORs) of 1.51 (95% CI: 1.01-2.26, p=0.049) for heart failure, 1.02 (95% CI: 0.69-1.50, p=0.937) for coronary heart disease, 1.36 (95% CI: 0.78-2.38, p=0.285) for angina, and 1.22 (95% CI: 0.80-1.85, p=0.355) for myocardial infarction when compared to participants with SUA levels ≤ 4.6 mg/dL. However, in the IVW analysis, no causality between SUA levels and the risk of heart failure was observed (OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.97-1.09, p = 0.293). The secondary analysis yielded similar results (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.96-1.14, p = 0.299). The sensitivity analyses further supported our primary findings. Conclusion Based on the MR study, we did not find supporting evidence for a causal association between SUA levels and the risk of heart failure.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effect of nutritional guidance (NG) provided by a registered dietitian under the direction of a physician on the development of subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with early-stage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study used the JMDC claims database to explore patients aged 18 years or older who first met the diagnostic criteria for T2DM at a health checkup between January 2011 and January 2019. The last day of the observation period was set for 28 February, 2021. Exposure was defined as receiving NG within 180 days of diagnosis of T2DM. The primary outcome was a composite endpoint of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular disease, and the secondary outcomes were each event, and time to event was compared. The propensity score weighting method was used for adjusting the distribution of confounding variables. Cox regression was conducted to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Overall, 31,378 patients met the eligibility criteria at an annual health checkup. 9.6% received NG (n = 3013). Patients who attended ≥ 1 NG after diagnosis had significantly reduced risk of cardiovascular composite (adjusted HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.58-0.97) and cerebrovascular disease (adjusted HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.47-0.90) during approximately 3.3 years of follow-up. In contrast, no difference was observed for CAD. CONCLUSIONS Receiving NG in early-stage diabetes may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events, especially cerebrovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a well-recognised cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor, and recent guidelines for the management of T2D include consideration of CVD risk. AIM To assess whether contemporary clinical management of Australians with T2D is in accord with recent national and international guidelines. METHODS This Australia-specific analysis of the CAPTURE study, a non-interventional, cross-sectional study included adults diagnosed with T2D ≥180 days prior to providing informed consent and visiting primary or specialist care. Main outcome measures were the use of blood glucose-lowering medications (BGLMs), BGLMs with proven cardiovascular benefits and other CVD medications, stratified by CVD status and care setting. RESULTS Of 824 Australian participants in the CAPTURE sample, 332 (40.3%) had CVD. Oral BGLMs were used by 83.9% of all participants, most commonly metformin (76.0%), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (28.8%), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is; 21.8%) and sulfonylureas (21.7%). Insulin was used by 29.2% of participants. BGLMs with proven CV benefit were used by 22.6%; glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) were less commonly used than SGLT2is in all CVD groups, but these drug classes were more often prescribed in specialist than primary care (SGLT2is 25.4 vs 20.7%, GLP-1 RAs 3.2 vs 0.8% respectively). Use of non-BGLMs for CVD risk reduction appeared consistent with guidelines. CONCLUSIONS Use of BGLMs with CVD benefits appears low in Australia, irrespective of CVD status. This likely reflects the delay in translation of clinical evidence into contemporary care and prescribing restrictions.

Abstract
Introduction The CAPTURE study estimated the global prevalence of established cardiovascular disease (CVD) and characterized the usage of glucose-lowering agents (GLAs) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across 13 countries. The purpose of this secondary analysis of data from the Japanese sites within CAPTURE (NCT03786406, NCT03811288) was to provide data about medication usage stratified by CVD status among Japanese participants with T2D. Materials and methods Data on GLA usage (including those with proven cardiovascular [CV] benefits) in Japanese participants with T2D managed in clinics or hospitals were collected and stratified by CVD subgroups. Results There were 800 Japanese participants in the CAPTURE study (n = 502 [no CVD group], n = 298 [CVD group], n = 268 [atherosclerotic CVD subgroup]). Oral antidiabetic agents and insulin were used by 88.5% and 23.4%, respectively, of participants overall. Among participants with established CVD, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (65.1%) were most frequently used, followed by biguanides (50.7%) and insulins (26.2%). The pattern was similar among participants with atherosclerotic CVD. A lower proportion of participants in the CVD group used glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) with proven CV benefits versus the no CVD group (GLP-1 RAs: 7.0% vs. 8.6%; SGLT-2is: 13.4% vs. 19.1%). Conclusion This analysis of the CAPTURE study provided a comprehensive overview of prescription patterns for the treatment of T2D in Japan. Use of GLAs with proven CV benefit was low, even in participants with established CVD, which was comparable to the findings from the global cohort.

Abstract
Poor glycemic control is a risk factor for micro and macrovascular complications of diabetes. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and factors related to suboptimal glycemic control and diabetes complications in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in Al Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Two hundred patients with T2DM were enrolled. Demographic, social, and self-care behavior data were collected. A thorough clinical evaluation was done. Glycated hemoglobin, lipid, and kidney profile results were recorded. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare different groups. For comparing categorical data, Chi-square (χ2) test was performed. Multivariate logistic regression analyses used to detect predictors of poor glycemic control and macrovascular and microvascular complications. The median age of patients was 58 years, and 62% of them were males. Only 22.5% of patients had glycated hemoglobin <7%. Forty-four patients (22%) had evidence of macrovascular complications. Retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy were found in 42.5%, 32.5%, and 12%, respectively. Longer diabetes duration was significantly associated with poor glycemic control (OR = 1.006, P < .005). The age of the patients was independently associated with macrovascular complications (OR = 1.050, P = .029). Hyperlipidemia was significantly associated with neuropathy (OR = 0.229, P = .043) and retinopathy (OR = 12.887, P = .003). Although physical activity was lower in patients with suboptimal glycemic levels (P = .024), cardiovascular disease (P = .030), neuropathy (P < .001), retinopathy (P < .001), and nephropathy (P = .019), multivariate analysis showed that it was only independently associated with neuropathy (OR = 0.614, P = .001). The prevalence of suboptimal glycemic control is high in the studied population. Effective health measures are urgently needed to stop diabetes complications, especially retinopathy and neuropathy. Elderly people with long durations of diabetes, and lower physical activity should be the focus of the interventions. Tailored exercise programs are particularly needed for better diabetes control and for the prevention of complications in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
AIM To describe the development of the AWARE App, a novel web application for the rapid assessment of cardiovascular risk in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients. We also tested the feasibility of using this App in clinical practice. METHODS Based on 2019 European Society of Cardiology/European Association for the Study of Diabetes criteria for cardiovascular risk stratification in T2DM, the AWARE App classifies patients into very high (VHCVR), high (HCVR) and moderate (MCVR) cardiovascular risk categories. In this retrospective clinical study, we employed the App to assess the cardiovascular risk of T2DM patients, while also collecting data about current glycaemic control and pharmacological treatment. RESULTS 2243 T2DM consecutive patients were evaluated. 72.2% of the patients were VHCVR, 8.9% were HCVR, 0.8% were MCVR while 18.2% did not fit into any of the risk categories and were classified as "moderate-to-high" (MHCVR). Compared with the other groups, patients with VHCVD were more frequently ≥ 65 years old (68.9%), with a longer disease duration (≥ 10 years [56.8%]), a history of cardiovascular disease (41.4%), organ damage (35.5%) and a higher numbers of cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with MHCVD generally had disease duration < 10 years (96%), younger age (50-60 years [55%]), no history of cardiovascular disease, no organ damage, and 1-2 cardiovascular risk factors (89%). Novel drugs such as Glucagon Like Peptyde 1 Receptor Agonists or Sodium-Glucose Linked Transporter 2 inhibitors were prescribed only to 26.3% of the patients with VHCVR and to 24.7% of those with HCVR. Glycaemic control was unsatisfactory in this patients population (HbA1c 7.5 ± 3.4% [58.7 ± 13.4 mmol/mol]). CONCLUSIONS The AWARE App proved to be a practical tool for cardiovascular risk stratification of T2DM patients in real-world clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease remains the primary source of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes (T2D). We characterized the change over time in the use of evidence-based therapies to reduce cardiovascular risk in US patients with T2D. METHODS Data from a longitudinal outpatient diabetes registry were used to calculate the prescription of SGLT2i or GLP-1RA over time and among those with high-risk comorbidities (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD], heart failure [HF], chronic kidney disease [CKD]) and a diabetes cardiovascular composite score (DCCS; calculated as: #eligible medications prescribed/#eligible medications x 100 for SGLT2i, GLP-1RA, statin, antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy, ACEi/ARB/ARNI). Scores ranged from 0% to 100% (higher=more optimal care). RESULTS Among 1,001,542 outpatients from 391 US sites, 51.7% patients had ASVCD, 17.7% HF, and 23.0% CKD. The percentage of patients prescribed an SGLT2i or GLP-1RA increased over time (7.3% in 2013 to 28.8% in 2019), and 18.3% of patients with ASCVD, HF, or CKD were on at least one of these medications at last follow-up vs 25.5% of patients without any of these comorbidities. Mean DCCS was 54±36%; 54±25% in patients with ASCVD, HF, or CKD vs 52±50% in patients without any of these comorbidities (P<0.001 for both). In a hierarchical linear model, male sex, and a diagnosis of CKD were independently associated with higher DCCS whereas a diagnosis of HF or ASCVD was associated with a lower DCCS. CONCLUSIONS In a large, contemporary cohort of patients with T2D, we found improvement in the use of SGLT2i and GLP-1RA but unexpectedly lower use in patients with ASCVD, heart failure, and CKD, highlighting a treatment-risk paradox. Further education is needed to shift the understanding of these medications as tools for glucose-lowering to cardiovascular risk reduction and to improve their implementation in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and disability in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). While the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CHD have been detailed in international guidelines, we aimed in this review to quantify the pandemic of CHD in the MENA region and highlight regional patient characteristics, clinical challenges, and future directions to optimize CHD care in the region. RECENT FINDINGS Patients with CHD in the MENA feature younger age at presentation and worse prognosis in women. Despite the high burden of CHD risk factors, many of these factors remain underrecognized, undertreated, and uncontrolled. Additionally, CHD care is hampered by poor patient awareness, inefficient preventive strategies, and limited access to guideline-recommended therapeutics. All stakeholders involved in healthcare should work together to develop and execute strategies aimed at tackling the burden of CHD in the MENA.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to perform a network meta-analysis to objectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of 10 Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in combination with metformin that is approved for use worldwide in patients with type 2 diabetes and to provide evidence-based support and reference for the selection of clinical treatment. Methods Three databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched from their respective inception until September 30, 2022. Only randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs for treating type 2 diabetes (T2D) were included. The 10 GLP-1RAs are exenatide (including exenatide twice daily and once weekly), liraglutide, lixisenatide, dulaglutide, PEX168, semaglutide (subcutaneous and oral semaglutide), tirzepatide and albiglutide. Results 34 RCTs with 10 GLP-1RAs and 12993 patients were included in the Network Meta-Analysis (NMA). According to the NMA, tirzepatide 15 mg, semaglutide 1.0 mg, PEX168-200μg, oral semaglutide 14 and dulaglutide 1.5 mg reduced HbA1c by -2.23%, -1.57%, -1.12%, -1.10%, -1.09% and body weight by -11.33 kg, -5.99 kg, +0.40 kg, -3.95 kg, -1.87 kg, respectively. There was no significant difference in the rate of adverse events for tirzepatide 15 mg, oral-semaglutide 14 mg, and semaglutide 1.0 mg. PEX168-200μg, tirzepatide 15mg, and oral semaglutide 14mg had Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking (SUCRA) values greater than placebo, and only tirzepatide 15mg and oral semaglutide 14mg were significantly different from placebo in the rate of serious adverse events. All GLP-1RA did not lead to increased incidence of hypoglycemia. Albiglutide 30mg and semaglutide 1.0mg significantly differed from placebo in Adverse Event (AE) withdrawal. Finally, the sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis results indicate that the study results are reliable. Conclusion This study's results showed that GLP-1RAs were effective in lowering HbA1c and reducing body weight without increased incidence of hypoglycemic reactions. In addition, this study may provide reference and evidence-based medical evidence for clinicians to select GLP-1RAs in patients with T2D and high body mass index (BMI). Based on the NMA results, tirzepatide 15mg and semaglutide 1.0mg may be preferred.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reaction protein (hsCRP), a biomarker of residual inflammatory risk, has been demonstrated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of hsCRP in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with or without diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS In this large-scale, prospective cohort study, we enrolled 8050 consecutive patients who underwent PCI for coronary artery stenosis. All subjects were stratified as high hsCRP (> 3 mg/L) and low hsCRP (≤ 3 mg/L) and were divided into four groups (hsCRP-L/non-DM, hsCRP-H/non-DM, hsCRP-L/DM, hsCRP-H/DM). The primary endpoint of the study was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, and unplanned vessel revascularization, evaluated at a 3 year follow-up. RESULTS After 35.7 months (interquartile range: 33.2 to 36.0 months) of median follow-up time, 674 patients suffered from MACEs. We found elevated hsCRP was highly associated with an increased risk of MACEs in both diabetic (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.68, 95% confidence interval CI 1.29-2.19, P < 0.001) and non-diabetic patients (HR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.05-1.62, P = 0.007) after adjustment for other confounding factors. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the highest incidence of MACEs in hsCRP-H/DM (P < 0.001). In addition, the results of the restricted cubic spline analysis suggested a positive linear relationship between hsCRP and MACEs. CONCLUSION Elevated hsCRP is an independent risk factors of MACEs in patients undergoing PCI irrespective of glycemic metabolism status.

Abstract
We aimed to examine the associations of cardiovascular risk factors with myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in patients with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease. The study patients were retrospectively identified from a database of patients with diabetes and stable coronary artery disease at Asan Medical Center (Seoul, Republic of Korea), covering the period from 2017 to 2019. The primary outcome variable was MPR assessed by dynamic stress 201Tl/rest 99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT. Univariable and stepwise multivariable analyses were performed to assess the associations of cardiovascular risk factors with MPR. A total of 276 patients (236 men and 40 women) were included. The median global MPR was 2.4 (interquartile range 1.9-3.0). Seventy-five (27.2%) patients had an MPR < 2.0. Multivariable linear regression showed that smoking (ß = - 0.44, 95% confidence interval - 0.68 to - 0.21, P < 0.001), hypertension (ß = - 0.24, 95% confidence interval - 0.47 to - 0.02, P = 0.033), and summed difference score (ß = - 0.05, 95% confidence interval - 0.07 to - 0.03, P < 0.001) were independently associated with MPR. Abnormal MPR (< 2.0) was associated with a higher incidence of cardiac death or myocardial infarction (P = 0.034). MPR assessed by dynamic stress 201Tl/rest 99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT was impaired in a large cohort of patients with diabetes. After adjusting for risk variables, including standard myocardial perfusion imaging characteristics, smoking, and hypertension were associated with MPR. Our results may aid in identifying patients with impaired MPR and stratifying patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at high risk of experiencing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is associated with morbidity, mortality and healthcare resource utilisation. Clinical guidelines recommend the use of glucose-lowering medications with cardiovascular benefits in individuals with T2D and cardiovascular disease, but there is evidence that this is not reflected in clinical practice. We used linked national registry data from Sweden to compare outcomes in people with T2D and ASCVD against matched controls with T2D without ASCVD, over 5 years. Direct costs (inpatient, outpatient and selected drug costs), indirect costs resulting from work absence, early retirement, cardiovascular events and mortality were examined. METHODS Individuals with T2D who were at least 16 years old and were alive and resident in Sweden on 1 January 2012 were identified in an existing database. In four separate analyses, individuals with a record indicating ASCVD according to a broad definition, peripheral artery disease (PAD), stroke or myocardial infarction (MI) before 1 January 2012 were identified using diagnosis and/or procedure codes and propensity score matched 1:1 to controls with T2D and without ASCVD, using covariates for birth, sex and level of education in 2012. Follow-up continued until death, migration from Sweden or the end of the study period in 2016. RESULTS In total, 80,305 individuals with ASCVD, 15,397 individuals with PAD, 17,539 individuals with previous stroke and 25,729 individuals with previous MI were included. Total mean annual costs per person were €14,785 for PAD (2.7 × costs for controls), €11,397 for previous stroke (2.2 × controls), €10,730 for ASCVD (1.9 × controls) and €10,342 for previous MI (1.7 × controls). Indirect costs and costs of inpatient care were the major cost drivers. ASCVD, PAD, stroke and MI were all associated with an increased likelihood of early retirement, cardiovascular events and mortality. CONCLUSIONS ASCVD is associated with considerable costs, morbidity and mortality in individuals with T2D. These results support structured assessment of ASCVD risk and broader implementation of guideline-recommended treatments in T2D healthcare.

Abstract
Background and objective Diabetes is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. To tackle this issue, guidelines have emphasized the use of cardioprotective antihyperglycemic agents [glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors] among type 2 diabetic patients at high risk of/with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or heart failure to curb morbidity and mortality in such individuals. The aim of this study was to assess physicians' adherence to the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) recommendations on the use of cardioprotective antihyperglycemic agents among such patients. Methods This study involved a retrospective records review of physicians' treatment plans for all type 2 diabetic patients aged 18 years and older and attending outpatient clinics from the year 2019 to 2022 at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who (a) were at high risk of/with established ASCVD as defined by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or (b) had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and required cardioprotective antihyperglycemic agents. Results We reviewed physicians' treatment plans for 202 type 2 diabetic patients in this study. All patients were either at high risk of or had established ASCVD. In addition, 36 (17.8%) of these patients had HFrEF. Although all patients were candidates for cardioprotective antihyperglycemic agents, only 56.9% of them received treatment as recommended by the ADA guidelines. Conclusion Despite being suitable candidates for cardioprotective antihyperglycemics, a significant number of patients were not treated based on the ADA guidelines, and this demonstrates a lack of adherence to the guidelines by physicians.

Abstract
In 2016 diabetes was declared an epidemic and a health emergency in Mexico. As the rationale of the treatment is to achieve target glycemia levels, the appropriateness of the medications used is important. The aim of this study is to learn the pattern of antidiabetic drug prescription and factors associated with inappropriate prescription in Mexico. A retrospective cross-sectional drug utilization study has been conducted. A randomly selected sample was carefully examined. Out of 3600 clinical records of patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 196 records were revised. As far as control is concerned, 36.7% had their glycemia values in the recommended range. A combination of different antidiabetics was the most common pattern observed (60.7%); the most frequent was that of the association of metformin with whatever oral antidiabetics. Prescriptions were considered as inappropriate in 149 cases (76.0%); younger age and lack of nutritional assessment was significantly related to inappropriate prescription. A trend to use more drugs for treating T2DM has been consistently observed. Despite using so many drugs, most of the patients are not controlled. Avoiding inappropriate prescription by following current guidelines may contribute to a better control and, in turn, decrease morbidity and mortality for this cause.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad3 signaling has been shown to play important roles in fibrotic and inflammatory diseases. However, the role of Smad3 in dyslipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in type 2 diabetes remains unclear, and whether targeting Smad3 has a therapeutic effect on these metabolic abnormalities remains unexplored. These topics were investigated in this study in Smad3 knockout (KO)-db/db mice and by treating db/db mice with a Smad3-specific inhibitor SIS3. Compared to Smad3 wild-type (WT)-db/db mice, Smad3 KO-db/db mice were protected against dyslipidemia and NAFLD. Similarly, treatment of db/db mice with SIS3 at week 4 before the onset of type 2 diabetes until week 12 was capable of lowering blood glucose levels and improving diabetic dyslipidemia and NAFLD. In addition, using RNA-sequencing, the potential Smad3-target genes related to lipid metabolism was identified in the liver tissues of Smad3 KO/WT mice, and the regulatory mechanisms were investigated. Mechanistically, we uncovered that Smad3 targeted peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARδ) to induce dyslipidemia and NAFLD in db/db mice, which was improved by genetically deleting and pharmacologically inhibiting Smad3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and anemia are related to some cardiovascular diseases and can predict poor outcomes. Both of them can damage the heart in their own ways, but their combined effects have not been well explored. This study aimed to explore the combined effects of T2DM and anemia and the interaction between left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) function by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 177 T2DM patients without anemia, 68 T2DM patients with anemia and 73 sex-matched controls were retrospectively enrolled in this study from June 2015 to September 2022. Their LA phasic function and LV function parameters were compared to explore the combined effects of T2DM and anemia and the interaction between LA and LV function. Univariate and multivariate linear regression were done to explore the independent factors influencing LA phasic function and LV function. RESULTS Compared with controls and T2DM patients without anemia, T2DM patients with anemia were older and had higher heart rate, higher creatinine, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and lower hemoglobin (Hb) (all p < 0.05). LV global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) significantly declined from T2DM patients with anemia to T2DM patients without anemia to controls (p < 0.001). LA volumetric function and strain were significantly impaired in T2DM patients with anemia compared with the other groups (all p < 0.05). In addition to age, eGFR, Hb and HbA1c, the LV GLPS was independently associated with all LA phasic strains (LA reservoir strain, β =0.465; LA conduit strain, β = 0.450; LA pump strain, β = 0.360, all p < 0.05). LA global conduit strain, total LA ejection fraction (LAEF) and active LAEF were independently associated with LV GLPS and LVEF. CONCLUSION Both LA and LV function were severely impaired in T2DM patients with anemia, and T2DM and anemia were independently associated with LA phasic function. Deleterious interaction between LA function and LV function would happen in T2DM patients with or without anemia. Timely and effective monitoring and management of both LA and LV function will benefit T2DM patients.

Abstract
Green tea polyphenols have numerous functions including antioxidation and modulation of various cellular proteins and are thus beneficial against metabolic diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, and their comorbidities. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the most abundant polyphenol in green tea and is attributed to antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities, and the likelihood of targeting multiple metabolic pathways. It has been shown to exhibit anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-arteriosclerotic, and weight-reducing effects in humans. Worldwide, the incidences of metabolic diseases have been escalating across all age groups in modern society. Therefore, EGCG is being increasingly investigated to address the problems. This review presents the current updates on the effects of EGCG on metabolic diseases, and highlights evidence related to its safety. Collectively, this review brings more evidence for therapeutic application and further studies on EGCG and its derivatives to alleviate metabolic diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.

Abstract
AIMS To describe glucose-lowering drugs prescribing pattern in a large population of older diabetics from 2010 to 2021. METHODS Using linkable administrative health databases, we included patients aged 65-90 years treated with glucose-lowering drugs. Prevalence rate of drugs was collected within each study year. A stratified analysis by gender, age and coexistence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was conducted. RESULTS A total of 251 737 and 308 372 patients were identified in 2010 and 2021, respectively. Use of metformin (68.4% to 76.6%), DPP-4i (1.6% to 18.4%), GLP-1-RA (0.4% to 10.2%), SGLT2i (0.6% to 11.1%) increased, while sulfonylureas (53.6% to 20.7%) and glinides (10.5% to 3.5%) decreased over time. Metformin, glitazones, GLP1-RA, SGLT2i and DPP4i (except for 2021) usage decreased with aging, in contrast to sulfonylureas, glinides and insulin. The coexistence of CVD was associated with a higher prescription of glinides, insulin, DPP-4i, GLP1-RA and SGLT2i, particularly in 2021. CONCLUSIONS We found a significant increase in the prescriptions of GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i in older diabetics, mainly in those with CVD. However, drugs without CV benefits including sulfonylureas and DPP-4i continued to be highly prescribed in older patients. There is still room to improve the management in this population according to recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a large body of evidence evaluating quality improvement (QI) programmes to improve care for adults living with diabetes. These programmes are often comprised of multiple QI strategies, which may be implemented in various combinations. Decision-makers planning to implement or evaluate a new QI programme, or both, need reliable evidence on the relative effectiveness of different QI strategies (individually and in combination) for different patient populations. OBJECTIVES To update existing systematic reviews of diabetes QI programmes and apply novel meta-analytical techniques to estimate the effectiveness of QI strategies (individually and in combination) on diabetes quality of care. SEARCH METHODS We searched databases (CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL) and trials registers (ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO ICTRP) to 4 June 2019. We conducted a top-up search to 23 September 2021; we screened these search results and 42 studies meeting our eligibility criteria are available in the awaiting classification section. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised trials that assessed a QI programme to improve care in outpatient settings for people living with diabetes. QI programmes needed to evaluate at least one system- or provider-targeted QI strategy alone or in combination with a patient-targeted strategy. - System-targeted: case management (CM); team changes (TC); electronic patient registry (EPR); facilitated relay of clinical information (FR); continuous quality improvement (CQI). - Provider-targeted: audit and feedback (AF); clinician education (CE); clinician reminders (CR); financial incentives (FI). - Patient-targeted: patient education (PE); promotion of self-management (PSM); patient reminders (PR). Patient-targeted QI strategies needed to occur with a minimum of one provider or system-targeted strategy. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We dual-screened search results and abstracted data on study design, study population and QI strategies. We assessed the impact of the programmes on 13 measures of diabetes care, including: glycaemic control (e.g. mean glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)); cardiovascular risk factor management (e.g. mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), proportion of people living with diabetes that quit smoking or receiving cardiovascular medications); and screening/prevention of microvascular complications (e.g. proportion of patients receiving retinopathy or foot screening); and harms (e.g. proportion of patients experiencing adverse hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia). We modelled the association of each QI strategy with outcomes using a series of hierarchical multivariable meta-regression models in a Bayesian framework. The previous version of this review identified that different strategies were more or less effective depending on baseline levels of outcomes. To explore this further, we extended the main additive model for continuous outcomes (HbA1c, SBP and LDL-C) to include an interaction term between each strategy and average baseline risk for each study (baseline thresholds were based on a data-driven approach; we used the median of all baseline values reported in the trials). Based on model diagnostics, the baseline interaction models for HbA1c, SBP and LDL-C performed better than the main model and are therefore presented as the primary analyses for these outcomes. Based on the model results, we qualitatively ordered each QI strategy within three tiers (Top, Middle, Bottom) based on its magnitude of effect relative to the other QI strategies, where 'Top' indicates that the QI strategy was likely one of the most effective strategies for that specific outcome. Secondary analyses explored the sensitivity of results to choices in model specification and priors. Additional information about the methods and results of the review are available as Appendices in an online repository. This review will be maintained as a living systematic review; we will update our syntheses as more data become available. MAIN RESULTS We identified 553 trials (428 patient-randomised and 125 cluster-randomised trials), including a total of 412,161 participants. Of the included studies, 66% involved people living with type 2 diabetes only. Participants were 50% female and the median age of participants was 58.4 years. The mean duration of follow-up was 12.5 months. HbA1c was the commonest reported outcome; screening outcomes and outcomes related to cardiovascular medications, smoking and harms were reported infrequently. The most frequently evaluated QI strategies across all study arms were PE, PSM and CM, while the least frequently evaluated QI strategies included AF, FI and CQI. Our confidence in the evidence is limited due to a lack of information on how studies were conducted. Four QI strategies (CM, TC, PE, PSM) were consistently identified as 'Top' across the majority of outcomes. All QI strategies were ranked as 'Top' for at least one key outcome. The majority of effects of individual QI strategies were modest, but when used in combination could result in meaningful population-level improvements across the majority of outcomes. The median number of QI strategies in multicomponent QI programmes was three. Combinations of the three most effective QI strategies were estimated to lead to the below effects: - PR + PSM + CE: decrease in HbA1c by 0.41% (credibility interval (CrI) -0.61 to -0.22) when baseline HbA1c < 8.3%; - CM + PE + EPR: decrease in HbA1c by 0.62% (CrI -0.84 to -0.39) when baseline HbA1c > 8.3%; - PE + TC + PSM: reduction in SBP by 2.14 mmHg (CrI -3.80 to -0.52) when baseline SBP < 136 mmHg; - CM + TC + PSM: reduction in SBP by 4.39 mmHg (CrI -6.20 to -2.56) when baseline SBP > 136 mmHg; - TC + PE + CM: LDL-C lowering of 5.73 mg/dL (CrI -7.93 to -3.61) when baseline LDL < 107 mg/dL; - TC + CM + CR: LDL-C lowering by 5.52 mg/dL (CrI -9.24 to -1.89) when baseline LDL > 107 mg/dL. Assuming a baseline screening rate of 50%, the three most effective QI strategies were estimated to lead to an absolute improvement of 33% in retinopathy screening (PE + PR + TC) and 38% absolute increase in foot screening (PE + TC + Other). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is a significant body of evidence about QI programmes to improve the management of diabetes. Multicomponent QI programmes for diabetes care (comprised of effective QI strategies) may achieve meaningful population-level improvements across the majority of outcomes. For health system decision-makers, the evidence summarised in this review can be used to identify strategies to include in QI programmes. For researchers, this synthesis identifies higher-priority QI strategies to examine in further research regarding how to optimise their evaluation and effects. We will maintain this as a living systematic review.

Abstract
AIMS Since 2006, the Italian AMD (Associations of Medical Diabetologists) Annals Initiative promoted a continuous monitoring of the quality of diabetes care, that was effective in improving process, treatment and outcome indicators through a periodic assessment of standardized measures. Here, we show the 2022 AMD Annals data on type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS A network involving ∼1/3 of diabetes centers in Italy periodically extracts anonymous data from electronic clinical records, by a standardized software. Process, treatment and outcome indicators, and a validated score of overall care, the Q-score, were evaluated. RESULTS 295 centers provided the annual sample of 502,747 T2D patients. Overall, HbA1c value ≤7.0% was documented in 54.6% of patients, blood pressure <130/80 mmHg in 23.0%, and LDL-cholesterol levels <70 mg/dl in 34.3%, but only 5.2% were at- target for all the risk factors. As for innovative drugs, 29.0% of patients were on SGLT2-i, and 27.5% on GLP1-RAs. In particular, 59.7% were treated with either GLP1-RAs or SGLT2-i among those with established cardiovascular disease (CVD), 26.6% and 49.3% with SGLT2-i among those with impaired renal function and heart failure, respectively. Notably, only 3.2% of T2D patients showed a Q score <15, which correlates with a 80% higher risk of incident CVD events compared to scores >25. CONCLUSIONS The 2022 AMD Annals data show an improvement in the use of innovative drugs and in the overall quality of T2D care in everyday clinical practice. However, additional efforts are needed to reach the recommended targets for HbA1c and major CVD risk factors.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are chronic conditions with detrimental impacts on the overall health of individuals. Presently, the use of pharmacological agents in obesity and T2D offers limited benefits and pose side effects. This warrant studies on remedies that are less toxic and inexpensive while effective in ameliorating secondary complications in obesity and T2D. Plant-based remedies have been explored increasingly due to their remarkable properties and safety profile. We searched for pre-clinical evidence published from inception until 2023 on PubMed, Scopus, Google, and Semantic scholar on Corchorus olitorius (C. olitorius) in both obesity and T2D. Our focus was to understand the beneficial impact of this plant-based remedy on basic glycemic, lipid, inflammatory, and biomarkers of oxidative stress. The evidence gathered in this review suggests that C. olitorius treatment may significantly reduce blood glucose, body weight, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in concomitant with increasing high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) in rodent models of obesity and T2D. Interestingly, this effect was consistent with the reduction of malonaldehyde, superoxide dismutase and catalases, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukins, and leptin. Some of the mechanisms by which C. olitorius reduces blood glucose levels is through stimulation of insulin secretion, increasing β-cell proliferation, thus promoting insulin sensitivity; the process which is mediated by ascorbic acid present in this plant. C. olitorius anti-hyperlipidemia is attributable to the content of ferulic acid found in this plant, which inhibits 3-Hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors and thus results in reduced synthesis of cholesterol and increased hepatic LDL-c receptor expression, respectively. The present review provides extensive knowledge and further highlights the potential benefits of C. olitorius on basic metabolic parameters, lipid profile, inflammation, and oxidative stress in rodent models of obesity and T2D.

Abstract
AIM To investigate changes in the pattern of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes in Denmark from 2005 to 2021. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nationwide, population-based drug utilization study based on medical databases covering the Danish population was conducted. We assessed incident and prevalent use patterns among all 441 205 individuals initiating at least one non-insulin, glucose-lowering drug. RESULTS The rate of new users of non-insulin, glucose-lowering drugs increased from 2005, peaked in 2011, decreased to stable levels during 2013 to 2019, then increased dramatically during 2020-2021. The prevalence of use increased from 2.1% (in 2005) to 5.0% (in 2021) of the entire adult population. In 2021, metformin comprised 39% of all glucose-lowering drug consumption, followed by insulin (17%), sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) (17%), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) (16%) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (7.5%). Overall, 56% of users were on monotherapy, 28% used dual therapy, while 13% and 2.8% used three and four drug classes, respectively. Both the intensity and diversity of therapies increased substantially over time, with 15 different treatment regimens each covering more than 1% of users in 2021. General practitioners prescribed 88% of all glucose-lowering drugs. Marked shifts towards GLP-1RA initiation by general practitioners and SGLT-2i initiation by specialists were observed, and changing user profiles suggested increasing use for non-diabetes indications. CONCLUSIONS The rate of new users of non-insulin, glucose-lowering drugs has increased in recent years and the prevalence of glucose-lowering drug use increases steadily. Glucose-lowering drugs are mainly prescribed by general practitioners, and the intensity, diversity and indications of glucose-lowering treatment are increasing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In people with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular or kidney disease, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors consistently reduce the risk of hospitalisations for heart failure. Less is known about their effects on hospitalisation from any cause, especially in people with type 2 diabetes without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which includes most of the global population of people with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to assess the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, on the risks of hospitalisations for any cause and for specific causes in people with type 2 diabetes with and without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. METHODS The DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial was a double-blind, multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled study. People with type 2 diabetes and either risk factors for or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive oral dapagliflozin 10 mg or placebo once daily. In these post-hoc analyses, the effects of dapagliflozin on risks of first non-elective any-cause and cause-specific hospitalisation were assessed with Cox proportional hazards regression models overall and in the subset of participants without prevalent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The risk of total (first plus subsequent) non-elective hospitalisations was assessed with Lin-Wei-Ying-Yang model. Investigator-reported System Organ Class terms were used to classify cause-specific hospitalisations. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01730534. FINDINGS Between April 25, 2013, and Sept 18, 2018, 17 160 people (6422 [37·4%] women, 10 738 [62·6%] men; mean age 63·9 years [SD 6·8]) were enrolled in the original trial, of whom 10186 (59·4%) had multiple risk factors for but did not have established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and 6835 (39·8%) had both no evidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and low KDIGO risk. Over a median follow-up of 4·2 years (IQR 3·9-4·4), dapagliflozin was associated with a lower risk of first non-elective hospitalisation for any cause (2779 [32·4%] of 8582 people in the dapagliflozin group vs 3036 [35·4%] of 8578 people in the placebo group; hazard ratio [HR] 0·89 [95% CI 0·85-0·94]) and total (first plus subsequent) non-elective hospitalisations for any cause (risk ratio 0·92 [95% CI 0·86-0·97]). The association between dapagliflozin use and the risk of first non-elective hospitalisation for any cause was consistent in subgroups of participants with (HR 0·92 [95% CI 0·85-0·99] and without (0·87 [0·81-0·94]) atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease at baseline (p interaction=0·31). Compared with the placebo group, the dapagliflozin group had lower risk of first hospitalisations due to cardiac disorders (HR 0·91 [95% CI 0·84-1·00]), metabolism and nutrition disorders (0·73 [0·60-0·89]), renal and urinary disorders (0·61 [0·49-0·77]), and due to any other cause excluding these three causes (0·90 [0·85-0·96]). Treatment with dapagliflozin was also associated with a lower risk of hospitalisations due to musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (HR 0·81 [0·67-0·99]) and infections and infastations (HR 0·86 [0·78-0·96]). INTERPRETATION Dapagliflozin reduced the risk of first and total non-elective hospitalisations for any cause in people with type 2 diabetes, regardless of the presence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including hospitalisations not directly attributed to cardiac, kidney, or metabolic causes. These findings might have implications on health-related quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes and on health-care costs attributable this condition. FUNDING AstraZeneca.

Abstract
Introduction CAPTURE was a cross-sectional, non-interventional study (NCT03786406, NCT03811288) investigating the prevalence and characteristics of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across 13 countries worldwide. Here we present the findings for Japan. Materials and methods Data were collected from adults aged ≥ 20 years (aged ≥ 18 years in countries outside Japan) with T2D who were managed in clinics or hospitals in 2019. Standardized methodology was used for all countries. The prevalence of CVD and its subtypes was estimated, weighted by care setting (clinics versus hospitals). Results Among participants from Japan (total: 800; clinics: 440; hospitals: 360), mean (standard deviation) age was 65.6 (11.2) years and glycated hemoglobin 7.2% (0.9). Sixty-seven percent of participants were male, 57.8% had diabetes duration > 10 years, 49.8% had body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 and 63.1% had hypertension. The weighted prevalences (95% confidence interval [CI]) of CVD and atherosclerotic CVD were 37.3% (34.2;40.3) and 33.5% (30.6;36.4), respectively. The prevalence (95% CI) of the most common subtypes of CVD was: carotid artery disease 20.5% (18.2;22.8), coronary heart disease 11.9% (9.7;14.1) and cerebrovascular disease 10.4% (8.3;12.5). Conclusions These contemporary data from the CAPTURE study on CVD prevalence in adults with T2D in Japan show that approximately one in three adults with T2D had established CVD, which is comparable to the prevalence in the global study cohort.

Abstract
Due to their cardiovascular protective effect, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) represent breakthrough therapies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this review article, we discuss the mechanistic and clinical synergies that make the combined use of GLP-1RAs and SGLT2is appealing in patients with T2DM. Overall, the presented cumulative evidence supports the benefits of GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy on metabolic-cardiovascular-renal disease in patients with T2DM, with a low hypoglycemia risk. Accordingly, we encourage the adoption of GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy in patients with T2DM and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or multiple risk factors for ASCVD (i.e., age ≥ 55 years, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, current tobacco use, left ventricular hypertrophy, and/or proteinuria). Regarding renal effects, the evidence of SGLT2is in preventing kidney failure is more abundant than for GLP-1RAs, which showed a beneficial effect on albuminuria but not on hard kidney endpoints. Hence, in case of persistent albuminuria and/or uncontrolled metabolic risks (i.e., inadequate glycemic control, hypertension, overweight/obesity) on SGLT2i therapy, GLP-1RAs should be considered as the preferential add-on therapy in T2DM patients with chronic kidney disease. Despite the potential clinical benefits of GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy in patients with T2DM, several factors may delay this combination to become a common practice soon, such as reimbursement and costs associated with polypharmacy. Altogether, when administering GLP-1RA plus SGLT2i combination therapy, it is important to adopt an individualized approach to therapy taking into account individual preferences, costs and coverage, toxicity profile, consideration of kidney function and glucose-lowering efficacy, desire for weight loss, and comorbidities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze whether prescription use of GLP-1RA and SGLT2i in individuals with type 2 diabetes with cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased after the ADA/EASD consensus guidelines (2018) in a German Real-World setting and which clinical characteristics are associated with prescription use of these drugs. METHODS The Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA) comprises a representative panel of 1,373 general practitioners, diabetologists, and cardiologists throughout Germany (01/2015-12/2020: 12.6 million patients). Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (n=45,531) was identified by ICD-10 codes (E11). Matching (1:1) on practice specialty, sex, age, and year of diabetes diagnosis was performed for CVD. Logistic regression models were fitted to obtain adjusted odds ratios (OR) for characteristics associated with prescription use (median follow-up: 1.9 years). RESULTS Overall, 35% of patients (n=16,006) were treated with glucose-lowering drugs during the first year after type 2 diabetes diagnosis (HbA1c≥7.0%: 80%). GLP-1RA (2.4%) and SGLT2i (8.5%) were rarely prescribed. After the consensus, use of GLP-1RA and SGLT2i increased, however, almost independently of pre-existing CVD (12/2019-11/2020 vs. 12/2017-11/2018: yes, no): GLP-1RA: from 5.7 to 9.2%, 5.2 to 7.6%; SGLT2i: from 13.9 to 20.4%, 12.1 to 16.6%. Among cardiovascular risk factors, the largest OR for GLP-1RA was for obesity (4.5; 95%CI: 3.2-6.3). CVD was moderately related with SGLT2i (1.45; 1.32-1.60) and GLP-1RA (1.35; 1.08-1.69) prescriptions. A weak association was observed between SGLT2i and heart failure (1.18; 95%CI: 1.05-1.32). CONCLUSION National prescription use of GLP-1RA and SGLT2i did not come close to the recommendation in subjects with CVD issued by the 2018 ADA/EASD consensus.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can have multiple comorbidities and premature mortality due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, hospitalization with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease. Traditional drugs that lower glucose, such as metformin, or that treat high blood pressure and blood levels of lipids, such as renin-angiotensin-system inhibitors and statins, have organ-protective effects in patients with T2DM. Amongst patients with T2DM treated with these traditional drugs, randomized clinical trials have confirmed the additional cardiorenal benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. The cardiorenal benefits of SGLT2i extended to patients with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease without T2DM, whereas incretin-based therapy (such as GLP1RA) reduced cardiovascular events in patients with obesity and T2DM. However, considerable care gaps exist owing to insufficient detection, therapeutic inertia and poor adherence to these life-saving medications. In this Review, we discuss the complex interconnections of cardiorenal-metabolic diseases and strategies to implement evidence-based practice. Furthermore, we consider the need to conduct clinical trials combined with registers in specific patient segments to evaluate existing and emerging therapies to address unmet needs in T2DM.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the impact of treatment with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), for up to 2 years in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) managed in routine clinical practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was based on data from national registries. People who redeemed at least one prescription of semaglutide and had 2 years of follow-up were included. Data were collected at baseline and after 180, 360, 540 and 720 days of treatment (all timepoints ± 90 days). RESULTS In total, 9284 people redeemed at least one semaglutide prescription (intention-to-treat) and 4132 people redeemed semaglutide continuously (on-treatment). For the on-treatment cohort, the median (interquartile range) age was 62.0 (16.0) years, diabetes duration was 10.8 (8.7) years, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level was 62.0 (18.0) mmol/mol at baseline. A subset of the on-treatment cohort, comprising 2676 people, had HbA1c measurements at baseline and at least once during 720 days. The mean (95% confidence interval) changes in HbA1c after 720 days were -12.6 (-13.6; -11.6) mmol/mol (P < 0.001) for GLP-1RA-naïve people, and -5.6 (-6.2; -5.0) mmol/mol (P < 0.001) for GLP-1RA-experienced people. Similarly, 55% of GLP-1RA-naïve people and 43% of GLP-1RA-experienced people reached a HbA1c target of ≤53 mmol/mol after 2 years. CONCLUSIONS People treated with semaglutide in routine clinical practice experienced clinically relevant and sustained improvements in glycaemic control after 180, 360, 540 and 720 days, irrespective of former GLP-1RA exposure, effects which were comparable with those observed in clinical studies. These results support the use of semaglutide in routine clinical practice for the long-term management of T2D.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the epidemiology and clinical management of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (eASCVD) or high/very high ASCVD risk, defined by the 2021 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines, in seven countries in the Middle East and Africa (PACT-MEA; NCT05317845), and to assess physicians' attitudes and the basis for their decision-making in the management of these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS PACT-MEA is a cross-sectional, observational study undertaken in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates based on a medical chart review of approximately 3700 patients with T2D in primary and secondary care settings, and a survey of approximately 400 physicians treating patients with T2D. RESULTS The primary and secondary objectives are to determine the prevalence of eASCVD and high/very high ASCVD risk in patients with T2D. Current treatment with cardioprotective antidiabetic medication, the proportion of patients meeting the treatment criteria for reimbursement in the study countries where there is an applicable reimbursement guideline, and physician-reported factors in clinical decision-making in T2D management, will also be assessed. CONCLUSIONS This large cross-sectional study will establish the estimated prevalence and management of eASCVD and high/very high ASCVD risk in patients with type 2 diabetes across the Middle East and Africa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) combined with diabetes have a higher risk of cardiovascular events, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)-to-albumin ratio (CAR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker. However, whether the CAR can identify high-risk patients with CAD and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) remains unclear. METHODS The present study was based on a prospective and observational cohort with 10,724 individuals who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Fu Wai Hospital throughout the year 2013 consecutively enrolled. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The secondary endpoint was cardiac mortality. CAR was calculated with the formula: hs-CRP (mg/L)/albumin (g/L). According to the optimal cut-off value of CAR for all-cause mortality, patients were divided into higher CAR (CAR-H) and lower CAR (CAR-L) groups. RESULTS A total of 2755 patients with T2DM who underwent PCI and received dual antiplatelet therapy were finally enrolled. During a follow-up of 5 years (interquartile range: 5.0-5.1 years), 126 (4.6%) all-cause mortalities and 74 (2.7%) cardiac mortalities were recorded. In the multivariable Cox model, CAR-H was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.634, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.121-2.380, p = 0.011) and cardiac mortality (HR: 1.733, 95% CI 1.059-2.835, p = 0.029) compared with CAR-L. When comparing the predictive value, CAR was superior to hs-CRP for all-cause mortality (area under the curve [AUC] 0.588 vs. 0.580, p = 0.002) and cardiac mortality (AUC 0.602 vs. 0.593, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION In this real-world cohort study, a higher level of CAR was associated with worse 5-year outcomes among diabetic patients with PCI.

Abstract
AIM To assess the potential gain in the number of life-years free of a (recurrent) cardiovascular disease (CVD) event with optimal cardiovascular risk management (CVRM) and initiation of glucose-lowering agents with proven cardiovascular benefit in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS 9,416 individuals with T2D from the CAPTURE study, a non-interventional, cross-sectional, multinational study, were included. The diabetes lifetime-perspective prediction model was used for calculating individual 10-year and lifetime CVD risk. The distribution of preventive medication use was assessed according to predicted CVD risk and stratified for history of CVD. For the estimation of absolute individual benefit from lifelong preventive treatment, including optimal CVRM and the addition of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is), the model was combined with treatment effects from current evidence. RESULTS GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i use did not greatly differ between patients with and without CVD history, while use of blood pressure-lowering medication, statins and aspirin was more frequent in patients with CVD. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) lifetime benefit from optimal CVRM was 3.9 (3.0) and 1.3 (1.9) years in patients with and without established CVD, respectively. Further addition of a GLP-1 RA and an SGLT-2i in patients with CVD gave an added mean (SD) lifetime benefit of 1.2 (0.6) years. CONCLUSIONS Life-years gained free of (recurrent) CVD by optimal CVRM and the addition of a GLP-1 RA or aSGLT-2i is dependent on baseline CVD status. These results aid individualizing prevention and promote shared decision-making in patients with T2D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess comparative efficacy, safety and tolerability of injectable incretin-based glucose-lowering medications (IBGLMs) versus basal insulin treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed an updated meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials of head-to-head comparisons of IBGLMs (short- and long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] receptor agonists [GLP-1RAs] and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide [GIP]/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist tirzepatide) versus basal insulin using a PubMed database search (April 2022). The primary endpoint was difference in reduction of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c ) versus baseline between pooled IBGLMs (fixed-effects meta-analysis) and their subgroups (random-effects meta-analysis) versus basal insulin treatment (mean differences). Secondary endpoints were fasting plasma glucose, body weight, HbA1c target achievement, hypoglycaemia, blood pressure and lipids. Risk of bias assessment was performed using Jadad scores and the Risk of Bias tool 2.0. RESULTS In all, 20 studies, representing 47 study arms and 11 843 patients, were eligible. Compared with basal insulin, IGBLMs lowered HbA1c by 0.48 (0.45-0.52)% more than did basal insulin treatment. This effect was driven by pooled long-acting GLP-1RAs (ΔHbA1c -0.25 [-0.38; -0.11]%) and the only GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist, tirzepatide (pooled doses; ΔHbA1c -0.90 [-1.06; -0.75]%), while short-acting GLP-1RAs were equally effective compared with basal insulin (P = 0.90). All IBGLM subgroups achieved significantly lower body weight versus insulin treatment (-4.6 [-4.7; -4.4] kg), in particular tirzepatide (-12.0 [-13.8; -10.1] kg). IBGLMs significantly reduced hypoglycaemia and blood pressure and improved lipid variables. Risk of bias was low. IBGLM treatment was associated with more nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea and study medication discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS Recently introduced, highly effective IBGLMs were superior to basal insulin treatment, reinforcing the recommendation that IBGLMs should be considered as the first injectable treatment for most patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the patterns of use of oral glucose-lowering drugs (OGLDs) in Asian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), focusing on sulphonylureas (SUs), and to describe patient profiles according to treatment regimen. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from adults with T2D from 11 Asian countries/regions with structured assessment enrolled in the prospective Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) register between November 2007 and December 2019. Patients receiving insulin and/or injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists were excluded. RESULTS Amongst 62 512 patients (mean ± standard deviation age: 57.3 ± 11.8 years; 53.6% men), 54 783 (87.6%) were treated with OGLDs at enrolment. Most received one (37.5%) or two (44.2%) OGLDs. In the entire cohort, 59.4% of treated patients received SU-based therapy with variations amongst countries/regions. Overall, 79.5% of SU regimens were based on SUs plus metformin, and 22.1% on SUs plus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. Among SU users, gliclazide was most commonly prescribed (46.7%), followed by glimepiride (40.0%) and glibenclamide (8.1%). More gliclazide users entered the cohort with glycated haemoglobin levels <53 mmol/mol (7%) than non-gliclazide SU users (odds ratio [OR] 1.09, 95% CI 1.02-1.17), with less frequent self-reported hypoglycaemia in the 3 months before registration (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.72-0.92; adjusted for sociodemographic factors, cardiometabolic risk factors, complications, use of other OGLDs, country/region and year of registration). CONCLUSION In Asia, SUs are a popular OGLD class, often combined with metformin. Good glycaemic control and safety profiles associated with the use of SUs, including gliclazide, support their position as a key treatment option in patients with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with increased urinary albumin creatinine ratio (uACR) have higher risk of mortality, while it is unclear in DM patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). METHODS We analysed 2832 DM patients with ASCVD in this multi-center registry cohort study Cardiorenal ImprovemeNt II (CIN-II) in 5 Chinese tertiary hospitals from 2007 to 2020. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to their uACR level (normal group: uACR <30mg/g, moderately increased group: 30mg/g≤ uACR <300mg/g, severely increased group: 300mg/g≤ uACR). The main outcome of the study was cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 2.1 years, among 2832 patients (mean age: 63.3 ± 9.9 years, 29.1% women), 434 patients (15.3%) had moderately increased uACR, and 203 patients (7.2%) had severely increased uACR. Compared to patients in normal group, patients had higher cardiovascular mortality in moderately increased group and severely increased group (2.5% vs 9.9% vs 16.7%, P < 0.001), as well as all-cause mortality. After adjusting confounders, the risk of cardiovascular mortality remained higher in moderately increased group (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 3.13; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.04-4.81) and severely increased group (aHR: 4.54; 95% CI: 2.58-8.01) than in normal group, as well as all-cause mortality. CONCLUSION In our study, we found nearly a quarter of DM patients with ASCVD had increased uACR, and they have over 2- or 3-fold risk of cardiovascular mortality than those with normal uACR. UACR is a helpful indicator for risk stratification and treatment target for DM patients with ASCVD.

Abstract
People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) than those without. This increased risk begins with pre-diabetes, potentially 7-10 years before T2D is diagnosed. Selecting medication for patients with T2D should focus on reducing the risk of CVD and established CVD. Within the last decade, several antihyperglycemic agents with proven CV benefit have been approved for the treatment of hyperglycemia and for the prevention of primary and secondary CV events, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. T2D treatment guidelines recommend that an antihyperglycemic agent with proven CV benefit should be used after metformin in patients with high risk of or established CVD, regardless of glycated hemoglobin levels. Despite the availability of antihyperglycemic agents with proven CV benefit, and guidelines on when to use them, less than one in four patients with T2D and CVD receive this type of therapy. These findings suggest a potential gap between current recommendations and clinical practice. This article reviews the approved agents with CV indications, with a focus on injectable GLP-1RAs, and their place in the T2D treatment paradigm according to current guidelines. We aim to provide primary healthcare providers with in-depth information on subsets of patients who would benefit from this type of therapy and when it should be initiated, taking into consideration safety and tolerability and other disease factors. An individualized treatment approach is increasingly recommended in the management of T2D, employing a shared decision-making strategy between patients and healthcare professionals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Saudi Arabia using data from the CAPTURE cross-sectional study. METHODS CAPTURE was a non-interventional, multinational study carried out between December 2018 and September 2019. In Saudi Arabia, clinical (including medication) and demographic data were collected across 7 sites (Alhada Armed Forces Hospital, Taif; King Saud University Medical City, King Saud University, Riyadh; Specialized Medical Centre Hospital, Riyadh; King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah; King Abdulaziz Hospital for National Guard, Al Ahsa; Diabetes and Endocrinology Center, Buraidah; and Dallah Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) from adults aged ≥18 years. The prevalence of CVD was estimated and weighted according to care setting, with data between groups not statistically compared. RESULTS Among the 883 adults enrolled in this study (566 from primary care, 317 from secondary care), 158 had established CVD, making the weighted prevalence of 18% (95% CI: [15.5-20.5]). The weighted prevalence of atherosclerotic CVD was 15.1% (95% CI: [12.8-17.5]), accounting for 82.4% of the CVD cases. Coronary heart disease was the most common subtype of CVD (13.4%), followed by cerebrovascular disease (1.7%). A total of 23.6% of patients were treated with glucose-lowering agents with proven cardiovascular benefit. CONCLUSION In Saudi Arabia, approximately one in 5 adults with T2DM had established CVD, lower than the global prevalence, possibly because of disparities in patient characteristics, potential genetic predispositions, or a lack of accurate documentation due to poor coordination between care settings.
