Abstract
AIM To understand the effect of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in people with diabetes with a 'psychosocial' indication for access. METHODS The study utilized baseline and follow-up data from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists nationwide audit of people with diabetes in the UK. Diabetes-related distress (DRD) was assessed using the two-item diabetes-related distress scale (DDS). Participants were categorized into two groups: high DRD (DDS score ≥ 3) and lower DRD (DDS score < 3). The t-test was used to assess the difference in the pre- and post-isCGM continuous variables. RESULTS The study consisted of 17 036 people with diabetes, with 1314 (7%) using isCGM for 'psychosocial' reasons. Follow-up data were available for 327 participants, 322 (99%) of whom had type 1 diabetes with a median diabetes duration of 15 years; 75% (n = 241) had high levels of DRD. With the initiation of isCGM, after a mean follow-up period of 6.9 months, there was a significant reduction in DDS score; 4 at baseline versus 2.5 at follow-up (P < .001). The prevalence of high DRD reduced from 76% to 38% at follow-up (50% reduction in DRD, P < .001). There was also a significant reduction in HbA1c (78.5 mmol/mol [9.3%] at baseline vs. 66.5 mmol/mol [8.2%] at follow-up; P < .001). This group also experienced an 87% reduction in hospital admissions because of hyperglycaemia/diabetic ketoacidosis (P < .001). CONCLUSION People with diabetes who had isCGM initiated for a psychosocial indication had high levels of DRD and HbA1c, which improved with the use of isCGM.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the clinical features and impact of flash glucose monitoring in older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) across age groups defined as young-old, middle-old, and old-old. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinicians were invited to submit anonymized intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) user data to a secure web-based tool within the National Health Service secure network. We collected baseline data before isCGM initiation, such as demographics, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) values from the previous 12 months, Gold scores and Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS2) scores. For analysis, people with diabetes were classified as young-old (65-75 years), middle-old (>75-85 years) and old-old (>85 years). We compared baseline clinical characteristics across the age categories using a t test. All the analyses were performed in R 4.1.2. RESULTS The study involved 1171 people with diabetes in the young-old group, 374 in the middle-old group, and 47 in the old-old group. There were no significant differences in baseline HbA1c and DDS2 scores among the young-old, middle-old, and old-old age groups. However, Gold score increased with age (3.20 [±1.91] in the young-old vs. 3.46 [±1.94] in the middle-old vs. 4.05 [±2.28] in the old-old group; p < 0.0001). This study showed reduced uptake of insulin pumps (p = 0.005) and structured education (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating [DAFNE] course; p = 0.007) in the middle-old and old-old populations compared to the young-old population with T1D. With median isCGM use of 7 months, there was a significant improvement in HbA1c in the young-old (p < 0.001) and old-old groups, but not in the middle-old group. Diabetes-related distress score (measured by the DDS2) improved in all three age groups (p < 0.001) and Gold score improved (p < 0.001) in the young-old and old-old populations but not in the middle-old population. There was also a significant improvement in resource utilization across the three age categories following the use of is CGM. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated significant differences in hypoglycaemia awareness and insulin pump use across the older age groups of adults with T1D. The implementation of isCGM demonstrated significant improvements in HbA1c, diabetes-related distress, hypoglycaemia unawareness, and resource utilization in older adults with T1D.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate real-world outcomes in people with Type 1 Diabetes (PwT1D) initiated on Omnipod DASH® Insulin Management System. METHODS Anonymized clinical data were submitted to a secure web-based tool within the National Health Service network. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), sensor-derived glucometrics, total daily dose of insulin (TDD), and patient-reported outcome changes between baseline and follow-up were assessed. Individuals were classified to "new-to-pump" (switched from multiple daily injections) and "established-on-pump" (switched from a tethered insulin pump) groups. RESULTS 276 individuals from 11 centers [66.7 % female; 92 % White British; median age 41 years (IQR 20-50); diabetes duration 20 years (IQR 11-31); 49.3 % within "new-to-pump" group] were included. Baseline HbA1c was 8.0 ± 1.3 % (64 ± 14 mmol/mol). At follow-up [3 years (IQR 1.5-3.2)], HbA1c reduced by 0.3 % [(3 mmol/mol); p = 0.002] across the total population, 0.4 % [(5 mmol/mol); p = 0.001] in those "new-to-pump" and remained unchanged in those "established-on-pump". TDD decreased in the "new-to-pump" cohort (baseline:44.9 ± 21.0units vs follow-up:38.1 ± 15.4units, p = 0.002). Of those asked, 141/143 (98.6 %) stated Omnipod DASH had a positive impact on quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Omnipod DASH was associated with improvements in HbA1c in PwT1D "new-to-pump" and maintained previous HbA1c levels in those "established-on-pump". User satisfaction in all groups and TDD reduction in those "new-to-pump" were reported.

Abstract
AIM Frequent hypoglycaemia results in disruption to usual hypoglycaemic autonomic responses leading to impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia, which is associated with an increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia requiring third-party assistance (SH). The UK Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not permit car driving if they have either a complete loss of hypoglycaemia awareness or more than one SH event a year. METHODS The FreeStyle Libre (FSL) Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) Nationwide Audit consists of data collected by clinicians during routine clinical work, submitted into a secure web-based tool held within the National Health Service (NHS) N3 network. Analysis of paired baseline and follow-up data for people with type 1 diabetes who also held a driving licence was undertaken. RESULTS The study consisted of 6304 people who had data recorded about driving status from 102 UK specialist diabetes centres, of which 4218 held a driving licence: 4178 a group 1, standard licence, 33 a group 2, large lorries and buses, seven a taxi licence; 1819 did not drive. Paired baseline and follow-up data were available for a sub-cohort of 1606/4218. At a mean follow-up of 6.9 months [95% CI (6.8, 7.1)], the Gold score had improved (2.3 ± 1.5 vs. 2.0 ± 1.3 p < .001), and the number of people who experienced an SH episode was also significantly lower (12.1% vs. 2.7%, p < .001). CONCLUSION This study suggests that intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring may improve impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia and reduce the number of people with type 1 diabetes with a driving licence experiencing a severe hypoglycaemic episode.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate characteristics of people hospitalised with coronavirus-disease-2019 (COVID-19) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state (HHS), and to identify risk factors for mortality and intensive care admission. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective cohort study with anonymised data from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists nationwide audit of hospital admissions with COVID-19 and diabetes, from start of pandemic to November 2021. Primary outcome was inpatient mortality. DKA and HHS were adjudicated against national criteria. Age-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated using logistic regression. RESULTS 85 confirmed DKA cases, and 20 HHS, occurred among 4073 people (211 type 1 diabetes, 3748 type 2 diabetes, 114 unknown type) hospitalised with COVID-19. Mean(SD) age was 60(18.2)y in DKA and 74(11.8)y in HHS (P < 0.001). A higher proportion of patients with HHS than with DKA were of non-White ethnicity (71.4% vs 39.0% P = 0.038). Mortality in DKA was 36.8% (n = 57) and 3.8% (n = 26) in type 2 and type 1 diabetes respectively. Among people with type 2 diabetes and DKA, mortality was lower in insulin users compared to non-users (21.4% vs. 52.2%; age-adjusted OR 0.13 [95%CI 0.03-0.60]). Crude mortality was lower in DKA than HHS (25.9% vs. 65.0%, P = 0.001) and in statin users vs non-users (36.4% vs. 100%; P = 0.035) but these were not statistically significant after age adjustment. CONCLUSIONS Hospitalisation with COVID-19 and adjudicated DKA is four times more common than HHS but both associate with substantial mortality. There is a strong association of prior insulin therapy with survival in type 2 diabetes-associated DKA. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), hypoglycaemia awareness and diabetes-related distress in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using FreeStyle Libre (FSL) over a 2-year follow-up period. METHODS FSL user data from U.K wide hospitals collected during routine clinical care were analysed. People living with T1D were categorised into four groups based on the duration of follow-up. Group I (< 1 year, n = 6940), group II (1 to 1.5 years, n = 662), group III (1.5 to 2 years, n = 385), and group IV (> 2 years, n = 642). The t-test was used to compare the baseline and follow-up HbA1c, GOLD score (a measure of hypoglycaemia awareness) and diabetes-related distress scale (DDS score) (quality of life measure). RESULTS The study consisted of 16,834 people, with follow-up data available for 8,629 participants. The change in HbA1c, GOLD and DDS score from baseline within the follow-up sub-groups (group I vs group II vs group III vs group IV) was HbA1c (-6 vs -6 vs -4 vs -4 mmol/mol; p < 0.001) (-0.55 vs -0.55 vs -0.37 vs -0.37 %), GOLD score (-0.31 vs -0.45 vs -0.26 vs -0.42; p < 0.0001 group I, II, IV and p 0.07 group III), and DDS score(-0.59 vs -0.58 vs -0.63 vs -0.50; p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In people with T1D, FSL use resulted in a sustained improvement in HbA1c, hypoglycaemia awareness and diabetes-related distress for over two years.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between time in range (TIR) achieved using the isCGM with changes in glycaemic control, diabetes-related distress (DRD) and resource utilisation in people living with diabetes. METHODS Clinicians from 106 National Health System (NHS) UK hospitals submitted isCGM user baseline and follow-up data in a web-based tool held within the UK NHS network. Linear regression analysis was used to identify the relationship between follow-up glucose TIR (3.9-10 mmol/L) categories (TIR% 50-70 and TIR% >70) with change in haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), DRD and Gold score (measure of hypoglycaemia unawareness, where a score ≥4 suggests impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia). RESULTS Of 16,427 participants, 1241 had TIR follow-up data available. In this cohort, the mean TIR was 44.8% (±22.5). With the use of isCGM, at 7.9 months mean follow-up, improvements were observed in HbA1c (-6.9 [13.5] mmol/mol, p < 0.001), Gold score (-0.35 [1.5], p < 0.001) and Diabetes Distress Screening (-0.73 [1.23], p < 0.001). In the regression analysis restricted to people living with type 1 diabetes, TIR% 50-70 was associated with a -8.9 mmol/mol (±0.6, p < 0.001) reduction in HbA1c; TIR% >70 with a -14 mmol/mol (±0.8, p < 0.001) reduction in HbA1c. Incremental improvement in TIR% was also associated with significant improvements in Gold score and DRD. TIR% >70 was associated with no hospital admissions due to hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia/diabetic ketoacidosis, and a 60% reduction in the paramedic callouts and 77% reduction in the incidence of severe hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSION In a large cohort of UK isCGM users, we demonstrate a significant association of higher TIR% with improvement in HbA1c, hypoglycaemia awareness, DRD and resource utilisation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between prescription of SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) incidence or mortality in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) hospitalized with COVID-19. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study based on secondary analysis of data from a large nationwide audit from a network of 40 centers in the U.K. with data collection up to December 2020. The study was originally designed to describe risk factors associated with adverse outcomes among people with diabetes who were admitted to hospital with COVID-19. The primary outcome for this analysis was DKA on or during hospital admission. The secondary outcome was mortality. Crude, age-sex adjusted, and multivariable logistic regression models were used to generate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for people prescribed SGLT2i compared with those not prescribed SGLT2i. RESULTS The original national audit included 3,067 people with T2D who were admitted to hospital with COVID-19, of whom 230 (7.5%) were prescribed SGLT2is prior to hospital admission. The mean age of the overall cohort was 72 years, 62.3% were men, and 34.9% were prescribed insulin. Overall, 2.8% of the total population had DKA and 35.6% of people in the study died. The adjusted odds of DKA were not significantly different between those prescribed SGLT2is and those not (OR 0.56; 95% CI 0.16-1.97). The adjusted odds of mortality associated with SGLT2is were similar in the total study population (OR 1.13; 95% CI 0.78-1.63), in the subgroup prescribed insulin (OR 1.02; 95% CI 0.59-1.77), and in the subgroup that developed DKA (OR 0.21; 95% CI 0.01-8.76). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate a low risk of DKA and high mortality rate in people with T2D admitted to hospital with COVID-19 and limited power, but no evidence, of increased risk of DKA or in-hospital mortality associated with prescription of SGLT2is.

Abstract
The ABCD semaglutide audit was designed to capture the routine clinical outcomes of people commenced on semaglutide in the UK. Previous work showed differential reductions in HbA1c and weight dependent on previous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) exposure. The analysis, in this research letter, shows that decreases in HbA1c and weight associated with semaglutide occur irrespective of previous GLP-1RA use. However, HbA1c reductions were less if switched from dulaglutide or liraglutide and weight changes were attenuated if switched from dulaglutide or exenatide, potentially suggesting differing potencies between GLP-1RAs. Dedicated studies with head-to-head comparisons are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to estimate the budget impact of increased uptake of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring system in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in the UK. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A budget impact model was developed, applying real-world data collected in the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) FreeStyle Libre Nationwide Audit. Costs of diabetes glucose monitoring in a T1DM population (n=1790) using self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) or the FreeStyle Libre system were compared with a scenario with increased use of the FreeStyle Libre system. RESULTS The ABCD audit demonstrates FreeStyle Libre system use reduces diabetes-related resource utilization. The cost analysis found that higher acquisition costs are offset by healthcare costs avoided (difference £168 per patient per year (PPPY)). Total costs were £1116 PPPY with FreeStyle Libre system compared with £948 PPPY with SMBG. In an average-sized UK local health economy, increasing FreeStyle Libre system uptake from 30% to 50% increased costs by 3.4% (£1 787 345-£1 847 618) and when increased to 70% increased by a further 3.3%. CONCLUSION Increased uptake of the FreeStyle Libre system in the T1DM population marginally increases the cost to UK health economies and offers many system benefits.

Abstract
AIM To identify the baseline demographic and clinical characteristics associated with diabetes-related distress (DRD) and factors associated with improvement in DRD after initiating use of the FreeStyle Libre (FSL) in people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS The study was performed using baseline and follow-up data from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists nationwide audit of people with diabetes who initiated use of the FSL in the United Kingdom. DRD was assessed using the two-item diabetes-related distress scale (DDS; defined as the average of the two-item score ≥3). People living with T1D were categorized into two groups: those with high DRD, defined as an average DDS score ≥3 and those with lower DRD, defined as a DDS score <3. We used a gradient-boosting machine-learning (GBM) model to identify the relative influence (RI) of baseline variables on average DDS score. RESULTS The study population consisted of 9159 patients, 96.6% of whom had T1D. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 45.1 (32-56) years, 50.1% were women, the median (IQR) baseline body mass index was 26.1 (23.2-29.6) kg/m2 and the median (IQR) duration of diabetes was 20 (11-32) years. The two components of the DDS were significantly correlated (r2 = 0.73; P < 0.0001). Higher DRD was prevalent in 53% (4879/9159) of people living with T1D at baseline. In the GBM model, the top baseline variables associated with average DDS score were baseline glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c; RI = 51.1), baseline Gold score (RI = 23.3), gender (RI = 7.05) and fear of hypoglycaemia (RI = 4.96). Follow-up data were available for 3312 participants. The top factors associated with improvement in DDS score following use of the FSL were change in Gold score (RI = 28.2) and change in baseline HbA1c (RI = 19.3). CONCLUSIONS In this large UK cohort of people living with T1D, diabetes distress was prevalent and associated with higher HbA1c, impaired awareness of hypoglycaemia and female gender. Improvement in glycaemic control and hypoglycaemia unawareness with the use of the FSL was associated with improvement in DRD in people living with T1D.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this work was to describe the clinical characteristics of adults with type 1 diabetes admitted to hospital and the risk factors associated with severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in the UK. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed using data collected through a nationwide audit of people admitted to hospital with diabetes and COVID-19, conducted by the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists from March to October 2020. Prespecified demographic, clinical, medication and laboratory data were collected from the electronic and paper medical record systems of the participating hospitals by local clinicians. The primary outcome of the study, severe COVID-19, was defined as death in hospital and/or admission to the adult intensive care unit (AICU). Logistic regression models were used to generate age-adjusted ORs. RESULTS Forty UK centres submitted data. The final dataset included 196 adults who were admitted to hospital and had both type 1 diabetes and COVID-19 on admission (male sex 55%, white 70%, with mean [SD] age 62 [19] years, BMI 28.3 [7.3] kg/m2 and last recorded HbA1c 76 [31] mmol/mol [9.1 (5.0)%]). The prevalence of pre-existing microvascular disease and macrovascular disease was 56% and 39%, respectively. The prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis on admission was 29%. A total of 68 patients (35%) died or were admitted to AICU. The proportions of people that died were 7%, 38% and 38% of those aged <55, 55-74 and ≥75 years, respectively. BMI, serum creatinine levels and having one or more microvascular complications were positively associated with the primary outcome after adjusting for age. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION In people with type 1 diabetes and COVID-19 who were admitted to hospital in the UK, higher BMI, poorer renal function and presence of microvascular complications were associated with greater risk of death and/or admission to AICU. Risk of severe COVID-19 is reassuringly very low in people with type 1 diabetes who are under 55 years of age without microvascular or macrovascular disease. IN PEOPLE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES AND COVID-19 ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL IN THE UK, BMI AND ONE OR MORE MICROVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS HAD A POSITIVE ASSOCIATION AND LOW SERUM CREATINE LEVELS HAD A NEGATIVE ASSOCIATION WITH DEATH/ADMISSION TO INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AFTER ADJUSTING FOR AGE.

Abstract
Aims: EndoBarrier is a 60 cm duodenal–jejunal bypass liner endoscopically implanted for up to one year. It mimics the bypass part of Roux-en-Y bariatric surgery and reduces weight and HbA1c while it is in situ. We aimed to assess the extent to which these improvements are sustained in people with diabetes in the year following removal.Methods: Between October 2014 and November 2017 we implanted 62 EndoBarriers in an NHS service with all removed by November 2018. Outcomes were monitored in a registry.Results: By November 2019, 46/62 (72%) (mean±SD age 51.5±7.7 years, 52% male, 54.3% white ethnicity, median (IQR) diabetes duration 14.5 (8–20) years, 67.4% insulin-treated and mean±SD body mass index (BMI) 41.6±7.1 kg/m2) had attended and 16/62 (28%) did not attend their one-year post-EndoBarrier follow-up appointment. In those who attended, during EndoBarrier implantation mean±SD HbA1c fell by 21.1±19.6 mmol/mol from 77.1±20.0 to 56.0±11.2 mmol/mol (p<0.001) (by 1.9±1.8% from 9.2±1.8% to 7.3±1.0% (p<0.001)), weight fell by 17.2±8.8 kg from 121.9±29.4 kg to 104.7±30.1 kg (p<0.001), BMI fell from 41.6±7.5 to 35.5±7.5 kg/m2 (p<0.001), systolic blood pressure from 139.0±14.0 to 126.0±14.6 mmHg (p<0.001) and serum alanine aminotransferase from 30.0±16.9 to 18.8±11.0 U/L (p<0.001). Median (IQR) total daily insulin dose reduced from 104 (54–162) to 30 (0–62) units (n=31, p<0.001); 10/31 (32%) insulin-treated people with diabetes were able to discontinue insulin. One year post-EndoBarrier, 18/46 (39%) demonstrated fully sustained improvement, 18/46 (39%) partially sustained improvement and 10/46 (22%) reverted to baseline. Of those deteriorating, 9/10 (90%) had depression and/or bereavement; they also had less fall in weight and HbA1c during EndoBarrier treatment. In the 16/62 (28%) who did not attend follow-up, reasons for non-attendance were too far to travel (25%), need to take time off work (6.3%), severe depression (6.3%) and death (6.3%). In 56.3% of cases no reason was given.Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that EndoBarrier is highly effective in people with long-standing poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and obesity, with maintenance of significant improvement one year after removal in 78% of cases for whom data were available. As an endoscopic procedure it is relatively simple and non-invasive and it deserves further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The FreeStyle Libre (FSL) flash glucose-monitoring device was made available on the U.K. National Health Service (NHS) drug tariff in 2017. This study aims to explore the U.K. real-world experience of FSL and the impact on glycemic control, hypoglycemia, diabetes-related distress, and hospital admissions. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Clinicians from 102 NHS hospitals in the U.K. submitted FSL user data, collected during routine clinical care, to a secure web-based tool held within the NHS N3 network. The t and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare the baseline and follow-up HbA1c and other baseline demographic characteristics. Linear regression analysis was used to identify predictors of change in HbA1c following the use of FSL. Within-person variations of HbA1c were calculated using [Formula: see text]. RESULTS Data were available for 10,370 FSL users (97% with type 1 diabetes), age 38.0 (±18.8) years, 51% female, diabetes duration 16.0 (±49.9) years, and BMI of 25.2 (±16.5) kg/m2 (mean [±SD]). FSL users demonstrated a -5.2 mmol/mol change in HbA1c, reducing from 67.5 (±20.9) mmol/mol (8.3%) at baseline to 62.3 (±18.5) mmol/mol (7.8%) after 7.5 (interquartile range 3.4-7.8) months of follow-up (n = 3,182) (P < 0.0001). HbA1c reduction was greater in those with initial HbA1c ≥69.5 mmol/mol (>8.5%), reducing from 85.5 (±16.1) mmol/mol (10%) to 73.1 (±15.8) mmol/mol (8.8%) (P < 0.0001). The baseline Gold score (score for hypoglycemic unawareness) was 2.7 (±1.8) and reduced to 2.4 (±1.7) (P < 0.0001) at follow-up. A total of 53% of those with a Gold score of ≥4 at baseline had a score <4 at follow-up. FSL use was also associated with a reduction in diabetes distress (P < 0.0001). FSL use was associated with a significant reduction in paramedic callouts and hospital admissions due to hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia/diabetic ketoacidosis. CONCLUSIONS We show that the use of FSL was associated with significantly improved glycemic control and hypoglycemia awareness and a reduction in hospital admissions.

Abstract
Imeglimin is a novel, first in-class, blood glucose-lowering agent which acts via a mitochondrial mechanism to enhance glucose-induced insulin secretion, decrease hepatic glucose output and increase glucose uptake by skeletal muscle. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs) with imeglimin in adults with type 2 diabetes was undertaken. Of 45 articles identified, five were RCTs but, due to the format of the data, only three could be combined in a meta-analysis (total n=180 participants). A random-effects model found that imeglimin 1500 mg twice daily as monotherapy and add-on to metformin or sitagliptin was associated with reductions of HbA1c by −0.63% (95% CI −0.84 to −0.42) (−6.6 mmol/mol, 95% CI −8.8 to −4.4) and reductions of fasting plasma glucose by −0.52 mmol/L (95% CI −0.80 to −0.24) compared with placebo. Adverse events were minimal, mostly gastrointestinal, and without hypoglycaemia. It is concluded that imeglimin displays promising improvements in HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose and is generally well tolerated.

Abstract
Introduction: People with type 2 diabetes are known to be at increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). There is increasing evidence of diabetes treatments with benefits of also improving NAFLD. Although mostly focused on glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists, sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 inhibitors may also have some promise in improving markers of NAFLD.Method: Data were extracted from the ABCD nationwide dapagliflozin audit tool. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was available in these data and was used as a marker of liver inflammation. Patients were stratified based on baseline ALT levels to see if this predicted response to treatment.Results: 1,873 patients were included for analysis (mean±SD age 58.7±10 years, 60.8% male, median duration of diabetes 3.5 years (IQR 1.5–9)) and were followed up in this study for an average of 11.4 months. Where known (n=280), 60.8% of these were Caucasian. Baseline HbA1c was 78±17.2 mmol/mol, weight 102.1±22.5 kg and body mass index (BMI) 34.2±7.6 kg/m2. Median ALT reduction overall was 4 U/L (95% CI 3 to 4; p<0.001). Reductions in weight (3.2 kg; 95% CI 2.9 to 3.5), BMI (0.9 kg/m2, 95% CI 0.6 to 1.2) and HbA1c (10.8 mmol/mol, 95% CI 10.1 to 11.5) (0.9%, 95% CI 0.8% to 1.0%) were all significant (p<0.001). Where ALT was elevated at baseline (>19 U/L female; >30 U/L male), the median reduction in ALT was 5 U/L in women (95% CI 4 to 6; p<0.0001) and 10 U/L in men (95% CI 8 to 11; p<0.0001). Stratified into three groups by ALT using the male reference range and twice this, there were reductions in ALT in all groups, which was greatest (24 U/L 95% CI 20 to 27) in the subgroup with baseline ALT >59 U/L.Conclusion: Our observational data suggest significant reductions in ALT as a possible marker of liver inflammation in those taking dapagliflozin. This appears to be greatest in those with the most elevated levels at baseline.

Abstract
Aims: Liraglutide has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality in a cardiovascular safety study, but it is not known to what extent these results will be replicated in real practice with people with diabetes treated with liraglutide in the UK. We wished to explore the likely cardiovascular benefits by modelling 10-year reduction in cardiovascular events and mortality using data from the ABCD liraglutide audit database.Methods: The UKPDS risk engine 2.0 was applied to data collected in the ABCD liraglutide audit database before and at the earliest return to clinic between 3 and 9 months after commencing liraglutide, using the 747 of 6,959 records where all factors used by the risk engine were completely recorded.Results: There were significant falls in all factors used in the UKPDS cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment other than HDL cholesterol which was unchanged. The UKPDS risk engine mean±SD 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) risk fell by 2.7±7.6% from 18.7±13.0% to 16.1±11.6% (p<0.001). The 10-year fatal CHD risk fell by 2.3±6.5% from 13.7±11.1% to 11.4±9.8% (p<0.001). The 10-year stroke risk fell by 0.3±2.8% from 7.9±8.7% to 7.6±8.3% (p=0.003). The 10-year fatal stroke risk fell by 0.1±0.7% from 1.2±1.4% to 1.1±1.3% (p=0.001).Conclusion: Starting liraglutide reduced 10-year CVD risk. These data suggest that liraglutide used in routine clinical care in 100 patients could prevent three events of CHD or stroke and save two or more lives over the next 10 years.

Abstract
The recently completed EMPA-REG study showed that empagliflozin significantly decreased the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) endpoint, which comprised cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, in patients with high-risk type 2 diabetes (T2DM), primarily through a reduction in cardiovascular death, without a significant decrease in either MI or stroke. In the PROactive study, pioglitazone decreased the MACE endpoint by a similar degree to that observed in the EMPA-REG study, through a marked reduction in both recurrent MI and stroke and a modest reduction in cardiovascular death. These observations suggest that pioglitazone might be an ideal agent to combine with empagliflozin to further reduce cardiovascular events in patients with high-risk diabetes as empagliflozin also promotes salt/water loss and would be expected to offset any fluid retention associated with pioglitazone therapy. In the present paper, we provide an overview of the potential benefits of combined pioglitazone/empagliflozin therapy to prevent cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
AIM Treatment of type 2 diabetes with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists may be limited by gastrointestinal side effects (GISE) in some patients. Risk factors for developing GISE are not known. We analysed patient characteristics that were associated with GISE among patients treated with the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide. METHODS Data was obtained from an audit database of liraglutide use based in clinical practice in the UK. Patients were grouped into those who did not report GISE, those who reported GISE but continued liraglutide and those who discontinued liraglutide due to GISE within 26 weeks of treatment. Baseline variables of age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, weight, BMI, blood pressure, lipids, gender, ethnicity, alanine transaminotransferase, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and diabetes treatment types were tested for possible associations with GISE outcome. Significant variables in univariate analyses were entered into ordinal logistic regression analyses. RESULTS A total of 4442 patients were suitable for analysis. A total of 3905 (87.9%) did not report GISE, 297 (6.7%) and 240 (5.4%) had GISE and continued and discontinued treatment, respectively. Age, weight, eGFR, metformin status and insulin status were associated with GISE outcome in univariate analyses (P all <0.05). In the final regression model, age (adjusted OR 1.15 [95%CI 1.05,1.26], P=0.002) and non-metformin use (adjusted OR 0.76 [95%CI 0.60,0.96], P=0.020) were associated with worse GISE outcome. CONCLUSION Older age and non-metformin use were associated with more significant GISE leading to discontinuation of liraglutide treatment. The reasons for these findings are unclear and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
On 8 April 2014, a US jury ordered Takeda and Eli Lilly to pay $9 bn in punitive damages after finding that they had concealed the cancer risks associated with pioglitazone. By contrast, on 28 August 2014, the long-awaited outcome of the 10-year Kaiser Permanente Northern California study was announced. That study was specifically designed to investigate whether patients exposed to pioglitazone were at an increased risk of bladder cancer and found no association; thus, at last, the controversial issue has been resolved. A review, in retrospect, of the story of the proposed link between pioglitazone and bladder cancer reveals flaws at every stage. In 2012, a BMJ editorial, in keeping with some other contemporary reports, stated 'it can confidently be assumed that pioglitazone increases the risk of bladder cancer'. Examination of the information which led to such a statement shows that: 1) the pre-clinical findings of bladder cancer in male rats is not indicative of human risk; 2) there is no association between bladder cancer and pioglitazone in randomized controlled trials, once cases that could not plausibly be related to treatment are removed; and 3) the observational studies that have suggested a link have over-extrapolated from the data: pioglitazone-treated patients had more risk factors for bladder cancer than those not treated with pioglitazone. Meanwhile careful study of randomized controlled trials shows evidence of cardiovascular benefit from pioglitazone in Type 2 diabetes, a condition which results, more than anything, in premature cardiovascular death and morbidity.

Abstract
IntroductionThe syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD) is the commonest cause of euvolaemic hyponatraemia in patients admitted to hospital. The mortality after discharge from hospital has not been previously studied in patients with SIAD.AimsTo compare mortality in patients with SIAD and those with kidney injury (KI). To identify underlying diagnoses associated with deaths due to SIAD.MethodsSingle-centre retrospective cohort analyses of 804 patients with severe hyponatraemia over a 3-year period. Five-year survival data in patients with SIAD and those with KI were compared. The underlying diagnoses that contributed to SIAD in this cohort were analysed using ICD-10 codes.Results202 patients had SIAD using biochemical cut-off parameters; 248 patients had KI. Patient with KI had a statistically significant (log-rank p<0.0001) shorter median survival time (2.24 months (95% CI 1.3 to 4.3)) compared with those with SIAD (31.0 months (95% CI 21.6 to 54.8)). 53.8% (n=78) of patients with hyponatraemia due to SIAD died within the first year after admission; the corresponding figure for those presenting with KI was 74.1% (n=166). Five years after admission, 80.8% (n=117) of those with SIAD had died; the corresponding figure for those with KI was 88.4% (n=200). In those patients with SIAD that died within the first year, malignancy appeared to be the most common cause (25.4%) followed by infection (23.8%).ConclusionsSevere hyponatraemia in SIAD carries a high mortality after discharge, and although this seems often to be attributable to the underlying cause, the extent to which treatment with V2-recptor antagonists may help to correct the hyponatraemia associated with SIAD and influence the medium-to-long-term outcome in such patients is worthy of further study.

Abstract
AIMS The response to glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist treatment may be influenced by endogenous β-cell function. We investigated whether urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio assessed before or during liraglutide treatment was associated with treatment response. METHODS A single, outpatient urine sample for urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio was collected 2 h after the largest meal of the day among two separate groups: (1) subjects initiating liraglutide (0.6 → 1.2 mg daily) or (2) subjects already treated with liraglutide for 20-32 weeks. The associations between pretreatment and on-treatment urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio and HbA1c change at 32 weeks were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses (the ratio was logarithm transformed for multivariate analyses). Changes in HbA1c according to pretreatment urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio quartiles are shown. RESULTS One hundred and sixteen subjects (70 pretreatment, 46 on treatment) with Type 2 diabetes from 10 diabetes centres were studied. In univariate analyses, neither pretreatment nor on-treatment urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio correlated with HbA1c change (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, r = -0.17, P = 0.17 and r = -0.20, P = 0.19, respectively). In multi-linear regression analyses, entering baseline HbA1c and log urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio, pretreatment and on-treatment log urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio became significantly associated with HbA1c change (P = 0.048 and P = 0.040, respectively). Mean (sd) HbA1c changes from baseline in quartiles 1 to 4 of pretreatment urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio were -3 ± 17 mmol/mol (-0.3 ± 1.6%) (P = 0.52), -12 ± 15 mmol/mol (-1.1 ± 1.4%) (P = 0.003), -11 ± 13 mmol/mol (-1.0 ± 1.2%) (P = 0.002) and -12±17 mmol/mol (-1.1±1.6%) (P=0.016), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Postprandial urinary C-peptide creatinine ratios before and during liraglutide treatment were weakly associated with the glycaemic response to treatment. Low pretreatment urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio may be more useful than higher values by predicting poorer glycaemic response.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recent suggestions that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based therapies could cause pancreatitis, and even pancreatic cancer, are based on: ANIMAL STUDIES The worrying histological changes are not reproduced in all studies and are unexpectedly variable with different GLP-1-based therapies. AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY Singh's findings that pancreatitis is doubled with GLP-1-based therapies could relate to their use in obese patients who are prone to pancreatitis risk factors--gallstones and hypertriglyceridaemia. The other observational studies do not find an association between GLP-1-based therapies and pancreatitis. US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING SYSTEM The increased reports of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are likely to be attributable to 'notoriety bias'. A STUDY OF ORGAN DONOR PANCREASES Butler's findings for those on GLP-1-based therapies vs. those not, could have other explanations. Meanwhile: META ANALYSIS: Randomized control trials with GLP-1-based therapies do not find increased pancreatitis risk. Meta-analysis of 53 randomized controlled trials including 20 212 dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor-treated patients found a significantly reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events [odds ratio 0.689 (0.528-0.899), P = 0.006] for dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors compared with control subjects. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK The evidence suggests that there is more than a possibility that some of the GLP-1 receptor agonists, and possibly also some dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, may be associated with reduced cardiovascular events. Eight ongoing long-term cardiovascular randomized controlled trials will report from September 2013 onwards. These trials should resolve the issue of pancreatitis risk and substantiate the extent of benefit. CONCLUSION Whilst we should remain vigilant, currently the balance of evidence is strongly in support of GLP-1-based therapy, with benefits far outweighing potential risks.

Abstract
Introduction: There is concern that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) receptor agonists may be associated with acute pancreatitis. The data from the ABCD nationwide liraglutide audit (November 2009–June 2013; 6010 patients) provide an opportunity to assess the extent of the problem in routine clinical practice in the UK. Methods: At every patient visit, audit-contributors were invited to submit, via an electronic form, clinical data collected as part of routine clinical practice, including data on possible side effects of treatment. Cases of ‘possible pancreatitis’ were identified and we contacted the centres concerned to obtain full details. Results: To date, the audit has monitored 3720 years of exposure to liraglutide. There were four cases of possible pancreatitis documented from the 6010 patients on liraglutide: three patients had likely causes of pancreatitis identified and one patient had no aetiological cause. This sole case represents an incidence of 0.027/100 patient-years of exposure to liraglutide. Conclusion: In cases of acute pancreatitis of a patient on liraglutide, if another cause can be found (usually gall stones associated with obesity), the drug is not be necessarily culpable. People with Type 2 diabetes are at greater risk of acute pancreatitis (hazard ratio between 1.5 and 2.8). Thus, the possibility of liraglutide-associated pancreatitis in ‘real-world’ clinical practice (0.027/100 patient years) represents a very small risk.

Abstract
AIM To assess the extent, safety, efficacy and tolerability of reported off-licence exenatide use through a nationwide audit. METHODS The Association of British Clinical Diabetologists hosted a password-protected, online collection of anonymized data of exenatide use in real clinical practice. Three hundred and fifteen contributors from 126 centres across UK provided data on 6717 patients. HbA1c and weight changes, exenatide discontinuation, adverse events and treatment satisfaction were compared between non-insulin and insulin-treated patients. RESULTS Four thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven patients had baseline and follow-up treatment status with mean (±s.d.) baseline HbA1c 9.45 ± 1.69% and BMI 40.0 ± 8.2 kg/m(2) . Of the 4857 patients, 1921 (39.6%) used exenatide with insulin. Comparing patients who continued insulin with exenatide with non-insulin-treated patients, mean (±s.e.) latest HbA1c and weight reduction (median 26 weeks) were 0.51 ± 0.06 versus 0.94 ± 0.04% (p < 0.001) and 5.8 ± 0.2 versus 5.5 ± 0.1 kg (p = 0.278). Insulin-treated patients had higher rates of exenatide discontinuation (31.0 vs. 13.9%, p < 0.001), hypoglycaemia (8.9 vs. 6.1%, p < 0.001), gastrointestinal side effects (28.4 vs. 25.0%, p = 0.008) and treatment dissatisfaction (20.8 vs. 5.7%, p < 0.001). However, 34.2% of the patients continuing insulin still achieved HbA1c reduction ≥1%. There was significant insulin discontinuation, dose reduction and greater sulphonylurea discontinuation among insulin-treated patients. CONCLUSIONS Addition of exenatide to obese, insulin-treated patients can improve glycaemia and weight. Adverse events were statistically but probably not clinically significantly higher, but combination treatment was less well tolerated. Overall, exenatide was less effective in lowering HbA1c among insulin-treated patients, although significant number of insulin-treated patients still achieved significant HbA1c, weight and insulin reductions. Further research into identifying obese, insulin-treated patients who will tolerate and benefit from exenatide treatment is urgently needed.

Abstract
It is uncertain what should be done with insulin dose if starting exenatide. In the ABCD nationwide exenatide audit, many patients with type 2 diabetes had worsened glycaemia when insulin was stopped. If starting exenatide, insulin should not be stopped but weaned off only if there is significant glycaemic response.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of age and diabetes on corneal sensitivity using the noncontact corneal aesthesiometer (NCCA). METHODS One hundred sixteen nondiabetic subjects and 111 diabetic subjects (33 type I and 78 type II) were recruited and divided into three age groups: Young (<or=29 years), Middle (30-59 years) and Older (>or=60 years). The exclusion criteria included patients with severe retinopathy requiring treatment, a history of invasive ocular surgery, or a history of conditions known to affect corneal sensitivity. The corneal cooling sensation threshold, for the right eye of each subject, was assessed with a double-staircase method-of-limits technique with the NCCA. This instrument uses a controlled pulse of air to produce a small, localized reduction in the surface temperature of the eye, which is detected by the nerves in the corneal epithelium. RESULTS Analysis of the scatterplot of each subject's central cooling sensation threshold revealed a gradual loss of sensitivity with increasing age (nondiabetic, r(2) = 0.349; diabetic, r(2) = 0.131). Within the nondiabetic group, inter-age-group comparisons found significant differences between the central corneal cooling sensation thresholds for the three age groups (t-test, P < 0.01). Within the diabetic group, a significant difference was found between the Middle and Older categories only (t-test, P < 0.05). In summary, the Young group was more sensitive than the Middle group, which was more sensitive than the Older group. Within both type I and type II diabetic subjects, there was neither a significant relationship between duration of the disease and corneal sensitivity (t-test, P > 0.05) nor a gender-based difference (t-test, P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is a gradual reduction in corneal sensitivity with increasing age in both nondiabetic subjects and diabetic subjects, along with an increasing variation in the measured threshold. There is no relationship between corneal sensitivity and the time since diagnosis of diabetes for a thermally cooling stimulus, suggesting that the A partial differential and C fibers of the corneal innervation are affected differently by abnormal glucose metabolism in the diabetic cornea.

Abstract
Erection is a neurovascular event that involves spinal and supra spinal pathways. The final common pathway involves the release of nitric oxide (NO) from both endothelial cells and neurons, which acts as a vasodilator causing penile engorgement and erection. NO is degraded by the enzyme phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 5 in the penis. Erectile dysfunction (ED), defined as the persistent inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance, results when the neurovascular pathway is interrupted by medical conditions or drugs. A 15-item self-administered questionnaire, the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), is one of the most useful tools to evaluate erectile function (EF) in clinical trials, although of much less use in routine clinical practice. The MMAS (Massachusetts Male Aging Study) was the first major epidemiological investigation to study the prevalence of ED. The study found that ED was three times more common in patients with diabetes mellitus. The aetiopathogenesis of ED in diabetes is multifactorial, with vascular and neural factors being equally implicated. Hyperglycaemia is believed to give rise to biochemical perturbations that lead to these microvascular changes. In the MMAS, ED in diabetes was strongly correlated with glycaemic control, duration of disease and diabetic complications. The incidence increased with increasing age, duration of diabetes and deteriorating metabolic control, and was higher in individuals with type 2 diabetes than those with type 1.ED in men with diabetes often affects their quality of life and, as patients are often reluctant to come forward with their symptoms, a carefully taken history is one of the most useful approaches in identifying affected individuals. The PDE inhibitors have revolutionised the management of ED and oral drug therapy is currently first-line therapy for the condition. These agents act by potentiating the action of intracavernosal NO, thereby leading to a more sustained erection. Sildenafil was the first PDE5 inhibitor to undergo evaluation and has been studied extensively. More recently two other agents, vardenafil and tadalafil, have been introduced. All the drugs have been shown to be effective across a wide range of aetiologies of ED, including diabetes. The drugs have been shown to improve EF domain scores, penetration and maintenance of erection, resulting in more successful intercourse. Their effects are greater at higher doses. Sildenafil and vardenafil are shorter-acting agents, while tadalafil has a longer half-life allowing the user more flexibility in sexual activity. Common adverse effects include headache, nasal congestion and dyspepsia, all actions related to inhibition of PDE5. The drugs are generally well tolerated and withdrawal from the clinical studies as a result of drug-related adverse effects were rare. The use of PDE5 inhibitors in the presence of oral nitrates is absolutely contraindicated. The clinical studies to date have not evaluated the use of one drug in the case of treatment failure with another agent. Sublingual apomorphine, which stimulates central neurogenic pathways, is a new agent and may be a suitable alternative in those patients in whom PDE5 inhibitors are ineffective or contraindicated. In clinical trials, all IIEF domains except sexual desire were found to have improved after apomorphine. The median times to erection in these studies were 18.9 and 18.8 minutes for the 2 and 3mg doses, respectively. Intraurethral and intracavernosal alprostadil may be a useful alternative when oral drug therapy is ineffective or contraindicated. The management of ED in the diabetic patient may often involve a multidisciplinary approach where psychosexual counselling and specialist urologist advice is required in addition to the skills and expertise of the diabetologist. Finally, the introduction of the new oral agents have completely revolutionised the management of ED and allowed more individuals to come forward for treatment.

Abstract
AIMS The National Screening Committee (NSC), whilst recommending the use of digital mydriatic retinal photography for diabetic retinopathy screening, has not yet accepted the use of digitally compressed images for grading. By greatly reducing the file size, however, compression of images is invaluable for storage and for its rapid transmission across computer networks. We undertook a study to compare the different levels of JPEG compression with the original bit-mapped image to determine whether there was any loss of clinical detail following compression. METHODS Three hundred and thirty images were analysed in this study. These images had been captured from 66 eyes consecutively photographed in a diabetic retinopathy screening programme, using a Sony DXC-950 P 3CCD colour video camera mounted on a Canon CR6-45NMf fundus camera. Single 45 degrees macula-centred images were taken from each eye. The images were compressed using the JPEG algorithm within Adobe Photoshop (version 4.0) and then displayed with a Sony Trinitron colour monitor. Four different levels of compression were used, JPEG-1, JPEG-2, JPEG-3, JPEG-4, and an objective analysis was undertaken using 'lesion counts'. The compressed images were assessed separately and blindly and the results compared with their original BMP images. RESULTS Eight BMP images could not be evaluated (five right eye and three left eye). A total of 290 images were therefore used in the final evaluation. All the JPEG-1 images with file sizes between 16 and 24 kb were found to be 'pixelated', while the JPEG-4 images (66-107 kb) appeared similar to the original BMP (1.3 Mb) images. Both JPEG-2 and JPEG-3 images had significantly lower counted lesions than the BMP images. CONCLUSIONS From our findings we can conclude that only some degree of image compression (compression ratios of 1 : 20 to 1 : 12) with file sizes of 66-107 kb is permissible using JPEG format, whereas the images obtained after higher compression ratios may not be suitable for diabetic retinopathy screening.
