Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Liraglutide and metformin yielded higher reductions in HbA1c levels when compared with gliclazide.

Updates to the US Preventive Services Task Force’s recommendations on obesity screening in children and adolescents focus on intensive behavioral interventions.

Semaglutide significantly increased insulin response and was well-tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes.

There were no significant differences in hemoglobin A1c across the 3 self-monitoring blood glucose groups.

More patients in the device-supported group achieved a fasting self-monitored plasma glucose target of 90 to 130 mg/dL at week 16 without severe hypoglycemia.

HbA1c fell from 7.9%±2.0% at admission to 7.1%±1.5% at 3 months after discharge.

At 3 months, ezetimibe produced greater reductions in LDL cholesterol, whereas colesevelam produced greater reductions in HbA1c levels.

At 12 years of testosterone treatment, HbA1c decreased to 5.5±0.3%.

Researchers assessed whether neurolysis could alleviate pain associated with diabetic neuropathy.

The analysis led to the identification of 4 potentially pathogenic missense variants in CABLES1.

Patients with type 2 diabetes had lower rates of heart failure hospitalization, MACE, and all-cause mortality when treated with dapagliflozin.

Long-term use of anabolic-androgenic steroids increases risks for decreased left ventricular diastolic function and increased coronary plaque volume.

Age significantly affected the association between hot flash status and flow-mediated dilation, particularly in younger women.

Miscarriage risk before 20 weeks of gestation is higher among women with untreated subclinical hypothyroidism.

As achieved glycated hemoglobin A1c levels increased, the risk for a combined cardiovascular event increased.

Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea should be diagnosed by exclusion.

An interview with medical malpractice expert, Michelle Mello, JD, PhD.

A retrospective cohort study evaluated whether having a family history of hypertension accelerates onset of type 2 diabetes.

No differences in hypoglycemia duration were reported among the hemoglobin A1c groups.

All-cause mortality and cardiovascular death outcomes may be paradoxically improved in obese patients with atrial fibrillation.

Adjuvant metformin produced a small but nonsignificant decrease in body mass index and insulin dose, but by year 10, no beneficial effects were evident.

Of the children who developed acute kidney injury, 34.9% had stage 1, 45.3% had stage 2, and 19.8% had stage 3.

Obtaining informed consent is crucial in medical research, and new methods of obtaining consent are aiming to make study information more readily accessible.

The prevalence of complications associated with type 1 and type 2 diabetes diagnosed during childhood and adolescence was compared in a multicenter, observational study.

New research suggested that long-term exposure to increased cortisol may be associated with increased adiposity levels.

A significant interaction occurred between baseline glycemic status and treatment effect on microvascular disease incidence.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial sought to determine whether liraglutide decreased the percentage of patients with prediabetes and obesity who later developed type 2 diabetes.

Patients who received 60% to 87% of the normal evening glargine dose had the highest likelihood of achieving glycemic control.

Incident falls were linked with total testosterone and bioavailable levels of testosterone after adjusting for age and prevalent falls.
