Much of these developments have led to the close-loop system (simply known as the artificial pancreas) which simultaneously monitor glucose levels and deliver the optimal amount of insulin in order to achieve a stable glucose levels. A recent study published in the journal <i>Nature Medicine</i> conducted by researchers from the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge looked at the use and efficacy of this system in people with type 2 diabetes. The device used in their study combines an off-the-shelf glucose monitor and insulin pump with an app developed by the team, known as CamAPS HX. This app is run by an algorithm that predicts how much insulin is required to maintain glucose levels in the target range. Previous studies have shown that an artificial pancreas run by a similar algorithm is effective for patients living with type 1 diabetes as well as in patients with type 2 diabetes who require kidney dialysis. Unlike the artificial pancreas used in their previous studies, this new version is a fully closed loop system – i.e. patients do not need to bolus their insulin to adjust for their food.</p><p>In this study, 26 patients insulin treated patients with Type 2 diabetes recruited from the primary and secondary care were randomly allocated to a trial of the artificial pancreas for eight weeks and then switch to the standard therapy of multiple daily insulin injections; or to take this standard therapy first and then switch to the artificial pancreas after eight weeks.</p><p>They found that patients using the artificial pancreas spent two-thirds (66%) of their time within the target range (between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L) compared with 32% in the standard therapy. Furthermore, patients receiving standard therapy experienced 67% of their time with high glucose levels (&gt;10 mmol/L), which was reduced to 33% when using the artificial pancreas. Average glucose levels fell - from 12.6 mmol/L when taking the control therapy to 9.2 mmol/L while using the artificial pancreas. HbA1c level after using the artificial pancreas was 7.3% compared with 8.7% in the standard therapy. Reassuringly, despite tight glucose control, no patients experienced hypoglycaemia during the study. One patient was admitted to hospital while using the artificial pancreas, due to an abscess at the site of the pump cannula. Feedback from participants suggested that participants were happy to have their glucose levels controlled automatically by the system, and nine out of ten (89%) reported spending less time managing their diabetes overall.</p><p>While the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes should be and will still be managed by drug therapies, for some patients with type 2 diabetes who requires multiple insulin injection, the use of artificial pancreas technology will improve the","PeriodicalId":100370,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Now","volume":"1 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/doi2.35","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50130785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An association was also found between insulin resistance and the timing of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during the day: performing MVPA in the afternoon or evening was linked to reduced insulin resistance, by 18% and 25% respectively, compared to an even distribution of activity throughout the day, even after adjustment for total amount of MVPA. There was no significant difference in insulin resistance between morning activity and activity spread evenly over the day.

However, ongoing uncertainties persists regarding their use in people with type 1 diabetes mainly due to safety concerns and lack of evidence from large scale randomised clinical trials. Despite this, Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are often used off-label in the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in real-world practice as adjuvant therapies to insulin to improve metabolic outcomes. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism was therefore aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of GLP-1RAs and sodium-glucose SGLT2is in the management of T1DM in real-world practice. Using a retrospective chart review, the investigators identified 104 patients with T1DM who ever used a GLP-1RA (76 patients) or SGLT2i (39 patients) for more than 90 days. They reported that after 1 year of therapy, GLP-1RA users had statistically significant reductions in weight (90.5 kg to 85.4 kg; <i>P</i> &lt; .001), HbA_1c (7.7% to 7.3%; <i>P</i> = .007), and total daily dose of insulin (61.8 units to 41.9 units; <i>P</i> &lt; .001).

GLP-1RA users compared to SGLT2i users had greater reduction in weight while HbA_1c reduction was comparable between the groups. Importantly, over a mean total duration of use of 29.5 months/patient for both groups, more SGLT2i users experienced diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (12.8% vs 3.9%).

There is however a significant variation in the size and expandibility of different adipose tissue in humans. The inability of adipose tissue to expand “safely” leads to ectopic fat deposition, causing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions – which are more prevalent in men than women. Thus, the mechanisms that control the expandability of adipose tissue are key factors in determining diabetes risk in obesity.</p><p>An interesting study from York University have provided new insights on the biological underpinning in gender differences in the risk of developing obesity-related diseases. Previous study from this group has observed that when mice become obese, females grow more new blood vessels to supply the expanding fat tissue with oxygen and nutrients, whereas males grow a lot less. To understand the mechanism regulating this, the team used software to help sift through thousands of genes to zero in on the ones that would be associated with blood vessel growth. They discovered that processes associated with the proliferation of new blood vessels were high in the female mice, whereas the males had a high level of processes associated with inflammation. Thereafter, the investigators examined the behaviour of the endothelial cells ex-vivo. Interestingly, they observed that even when these cells were studied ex-vivo, male and female endothelial cells still behave very differently from each other - female endothelial cells replicated faster, while male endothelial cells displayed greater sensitivity to an inflammatory stimulus. Further studies to investigate the effects of specific genes in humans that regulate endothelial cells growth will provide potential therapeutic target to manage and treat obesity related cardio-metabolic diseases.

The SGLT2i, Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular death and improve outcomes from heart failure, but its effect in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are at risk for disease progression are not well understood. A study published in the New England Journal Medicine by the Empa-Kidney Collaborative group was designed to assess the effects of treatment with empaglifozin in a broad range of such patients. The study recruited patients with CKD who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between 20 and 45 mL/minute/1.73 m² of body-surface area, or who had an eGFR of between 45 and 90 mL/minute/1.73 m² with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio of at least 200. Patients were randomly assigned to receive empagliflozin (10 mg once daily) or matching placebo. The primary outcome was a composite of progression of kidney disease (defined as end-stage kidney disease, a sustained decrease in eGFR to &lt;10 mL per minute per 1.73 m², a sustained decrease in eGFR of ≥40% from baseline, or death from renal causes) or death from cardiovascular causes. 6609 patients underwent randomization. During a median of 2.0 years of follow-up, Empagliflozin was associated with a significant 28% reduction in the progression of kidney disease or death from cardiovascular causes. Results were consistent among patients with or without diabetes and across subgroups defined according to eGFR ranges. The rate of hospitalization from any cause was also 14% lower in the empagliflozin group than in the placebo group, but there were no significant between-group differences with respect to the composite outcome of hospitalization for heart failure or death from cardiovascular causes or death from any cause. This finding support the wider use of empagliflozin for renal protection in patients irrespective of diabetes status. Reassuringly also, the rates of serious adverse events were similar between empagliflozin and placebo.

Teplizumab is an immunotherapy which has been shown to deactivate the immune cells that attack insulin-producing cells, while increasing proportion of cells that help moderate the immune response. Teplizumab is administered by intravenous infusion once daily for 14 consecutive days. This approval adds an important new treatment options for at –risk people to delay clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and may provide people with months to years without the burdens of disease. This may improve clinical outcome given the well recognised association between “life-time disease burden” with risks of long-term vascular complications. The safety and efficacy of Teplizumab were previously evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, event-driven, placebo-controlled trial with 76 people with stage 2 type 1 diabetes. In the trial, participants randomly received teplizumab or a placebo once daily via intravenous infusion for 14 days. The primary measure of efficacy was the time from randomization to development of stage 3 type 1 diabetes diagnosis. The trial showed that over a median follow-up of 51 months, 45% of the 44 people who received teplizumab were later diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes, compared to 72% of the 32 patients who received a placebo. The mean time from randomization to stage 3 type 1 diabetes diagnosis was 50 months for those who received teplizumab and 25 months for those who received a placebo. This represents a statistically significant delay in the development of stage 3 type 1 diabetes, which would reduce the time to start intensive therapy to manage hyperglycaemia. Crucially, Diabetes UK has suggested that preventative treatments for type 1 diabetes can only be effective when combined with screening programmes to identify those at risk.

Ensuring treatment adherence is therefore crucial in order to reduce the long-term risks of complications. A study recently published in Nature Medicine, known as the TriMaster study is the first study to evaluate the effectiveness of allowing people with type 2 diabetes to choose their own second/third line medication to manage hyperglycaemia. This approach was thought to balance the potential efficacy with potential side effects profiles of the selected drugs. The study led by academics from the University of Exeter was a randomized double-blind, three-way cross over trial where patients received three different second- or third-line once-daily type 2 diabetes glucose-lowering drugs (pioglitazone 30 mg, sitagliptin 100 mg and canagliflozin 100 mg). As part of a prespecified secondary endpoint, patients' drug preference were examined after they had tried all three drugs. In total, 448 participants were treated with all three drugs which overall showed similar glucose lowering outcomes. In terms of preference, 115 patients (25%) preferred pioglitazone, 158 patients (35%) sitagliptin and 175 patients (38%) canagliflozin. The drug preferred by individual patients was associated with a lower HbA1c (mean: 4.6; 95% CI: 3.9, 5.3) mmol mol⁻¹ lower versus nonpreferred) and was associated with fewer side effects (mean: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.64) fewer side effects versus nonpreferred). This study showed that allocating therapy based on patients individually preferred drugs, rather than allocating all patients the overall most preferred drug (canagliflozin), would result in more patients achieving the lowest HbA1c for them (70% versus 30%) and the fewest side effects (67% versus 50%). Given the comparable glucose lowering ability of different drugs, allowing patients to try suitable medications before they choose long-term therapy according to their treatment preference could be a practical alternative to individualised treatment strategy for type 2 diabetes that would facilitate long-term treatment compliance.</p>","PeriodicalId":100370,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism Now","volume":"1 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/doi2.31","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50130786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
