Sarcopenia doubles risk of cardiovascular death in people with diabetes

New research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 Oct) shows that low muscle mass is associated with a two-fold risk of death from cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes.

New drug tirzepatide equally effective in early-onset and later-onset type 2 diabetes

Tirzepatide is as effective at treating early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D), a more aggressive form of the condition that normally responds less well to treatment, as it is at treating T2D diagnosed later in life, new research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 Oct) has found.

Type 2 diabetes screening in Accident and Emergency departments could detect thousands of new cases

The introduction of screening for type 2 diabetes in Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments could uncover thousands of previously undiagnosed cases every year, suggests new research being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Hamburg (2-6 Oct).

Stem cell-derived islet cell therapy shows promise for type 1 diabetes

Six adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated with stem cell-derived islet cells (VX-880) have shown improved blood sugar control with three participants achieving insulin independence, according to new research being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Hamburg (2-6 Oct).

Lower HbA1c threshold could lead to earlier diagnosis, treatment of type 2 diabetes in women under 50

New research to be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 October) and published in the journal Diabetes Therapy suggests that the diagnosis threshold for type 2 diabetes (T2D) should be lowered in women aged under 50 years, since natural blood loss through menstruation could be affecting their blood sugar management.

New hope for hispanic type 2 diabetes patients: pharmacist intervention cuts A1c levels

Researchers examined whether pharmacist-led interventions improved adherence to medications and guideline-concordant care based on changes in hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) levels and systolic blood pressure among Hispanic type 2 diabetes patients.

Simple fingerprick blood test could help identify millions of people with undiagnosed diabetes

In 2019, there were almost 14 thousand diabetes-related deaths in the UK. That number looks set to rise. Britain currently has 4.3 million registered diabetics, but new analysis from London Medical Laboratory has revealed there are likely to be over one million Brits suffering from undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Tirzepatide outshines other treatments in lowering blood sugar and weight for type 2 diabetes patients

Meta-analysis finds tirzepatide to be the most effective GLP-1 receptor agonist for glucose and weight control in type 2 diabetes patients. The study suggests tirzepatide could be preferable in initial stages of the disease, while other GLP-1 receptor agonists combined with insulin are equally effective for long-term diabetics.

Could metformin be a game changer for heart health in non-diabetics?

Using Mendelian randomization, researchers found that altering seven metformin targets led to improved blood pressure and BMI in non-diabetic individuals. The study suggests the potential for metformin's role in reducing cardiovascular risks in the general population, although more research is needed.

Tirzepatide superior to semaglutide for blood sugar control and body weight loss

A new meta-analysis combining 22 studies, to be presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Hamburg, Germany (2-6 October), shows that tirzepatide is superior to semaglutide for both control of blood sugar and in terms of amount of body weight lost by patients.
