RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using data from Medicare Fee-for-Service (2013–2020) and Optum’s deidentified Clinformatics Data Mart Database (Clinformatics) (2013–2022), we identified patients aged ≥65 years with T2D receiving insulin therapy who initiated CGM annually. Initiation of a CGM device was defined based on Current Procedural Terminology codes and National Drug Codes. Then, we 1:4 matched new users of CGM to patients unexposed to CGM, using risk set sampling. Index date was the date of CGM initiation or, for control participants, the closest physician visit within ±7 days. We used logistic regression to assess demographic and clinical characteristics associated with CGM initiation. RESULTS The annual CGM initiation rate rose from 107 to 5,249/100,000 in Medicare (2013–2020) and from 796 to 9,195/100,000 in Clinformatics (2013–2022). Compared with White patients, Hispanic (odds ratio, 96% CI: 0.44, 0.42–0.48 in Medicare and 0.81, 0.78–0.85 in Clinformatics) and Black (0.71, 0.69–0.73 in Medicare and 0.89, 0.85–0.92 in Clinformatics) individuals were less likely to receive CGM. Older age and residing in low socioeconomic status areas were associated with lower CGM uptake, while history of hypoglycemia and lower frailty scores increased CGM initiation likelihood. CONCLUSIONS CGM initiation has increased over time but remains <10% among insulin-treated older adults with T2D. Substantial racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities were observed.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144183785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Absolute risk reduction (ARR), adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs), and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to assess outcomes. RESULTS After matching, SGLT2i use was associated with a significantly lower risk of delirium compared with metformin (ARR 5.03%, 3.97% vs. 9.0%; aHR 0.91 [95% CI 0.87, 0.95], P < 0.001). All-cause mortality was also lower in the SGLT2i group (ARR 9.23%, aHR 0.85 [95% CI 0.87, 0.88], P < 0.001). The most pronounced benefits were seen in adults aged ≥80 years (aHR 0.83, P < 0.0001), males, and high-risk subgroups using insulin or sedatives. CONCLUSIONS This first head-to-head, real-world study suggests that SGLT2is may offer superior protection against delirium compared with metformin in patients with T2D, especially in high-risk populations.

We aimed to determine whether simple routine clinical measures could be used to assess β-cell preservation and predict treatment response. RESEARCH DESIGNS AND METHOD Measures of β-cell function derived from clinical and biochemical measures were calculated using data from the BAricitinib in Newly DIagnosed Type 1 diabetes (BANDIT) randomized trial of baricitinib in recent-onset type 1 diabetes. Measures that reported and predicted treatment efficacy were determined using linear regression and receiver operator characteristic analysis, respectively. Therapeutic predictors were validated using data from trials of rituximab, abatacept, and antithymocyte globulin. RESULTS Quantitative response score (QRS), fasting C-peptide, and model-estimated C-peptide (CPest) most reliably differentiated placebo-treated from baricitinib-treated participants at 24 and 48 weeks. The Beta2 score, derived from fasting glucose, C-peptide, HbA1c, and insulin dose at 12 weeks, was optimal for predicting QRS >0 following 1 year of treatment with baricitinib and the other immunotherapies (areas under receiver operator curve 0.864 and 0.765, respectively). A 6.2% decrease in the Beta2 score at week 12 predicted significant improvement in HbA1c (−0.6% or −6 mmol/mol) and insulin use (−0.26 units/kg/day) in combined data from the rituximab, abatacept, and antithymocyte globulin trials.

STUDY SELECTION A total of 45 articles (with 119 comparisons) from 2019 onward were included, representing Europe (n = 24), North America (n = 13), and Asia (all from China) (n = 8). DATA EXTRACTION Study characteristics and model characteristics/inputs/results were extracted. Lifetime costs and quality-adjusted life-years were evaluated. Proportions for cost-effectiveness outcomes (dominant, cost-effective, not cost-effective) were calculated. Subgroup analyses by region, sponsor type, comparator type, and model assumptions were performed. In sensitivity analysis a standard willingness-to-pay threshold was applied.

For most studies reporting quality was high (86.7%). Overall, semaglutide was dominant/cost-effective in 73.9% of all comparisons. Notably, semaglutide was found to be dominant/cost-effective in all comparisons sponsored by Novo Nordisk versus in 50.0% of these funded by nonindustry sponsors and in none funded by other industry sponsors. Additionally, semaglutide was more cost-effective in high-income countries and in studies with adoption of a broader perspective, longer horizon, and lower discount rates.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We defined circulating metabolomic signatures of insulin action/secretion in 446 IAs, including glucose disposal rate during low-dose insulin clamp (Mlow) and endogenous glucose production (EGP) during insulin infusion (suppression of hepatic glucose production). We then determined associations of these metabolic scores with glucose tolerance (in a separate set of ∼700 IAs) and diabetes/metabolic risk in ∼2,000 individuals (from Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults [CARDIA] study). We used tissue-specific gene–metabolite mapping to pinpoint genetic pathways of type 2 diabetes (T2D) implicated by metabolomic signatures. RESULTS In young IAs (mean age 29 years; mean BMI 34.9 kg/m2) without diabetes, phenotype–metabolome associations across multiple insulin action phenotypes were linked to mechanisms of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism and inflammation (among others).

The ability of 1-h PG concentration to predict the development of prediabetes, based on American Diabetes Association criteria, was evaluated. RESULTS Approximately one-quarter of participants with NGT (24.7%) progressed to prediabetes at 7.5 years (22.5% with 1-h PG <155 mg/dL and 42.5% with 1-h PG >155 mg/dL).

The annual incidence in the NDD group was significantly higher than that in the NGT group (24.3 vs. 18.5 per 1,000 person-years), after adjusting for age and sex. After adjusting for risk factors, the risk of stroke was significantly higher in the NDD (HR 1.80, 95% CI 1.46–2.21, P < 0.001), IGT nonintervention (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.11–2.07, P = 0.008), and IGT intervention (HR 1.33, 95% CI 1.17–1.63, P = 0.01) groups than in the NGT group. A reduced stroke risk was observed in the overall IGT intervention group compared with the NDD group (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.64–0.94, P = 0.009), especially in women (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.47–0.88, P = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS Over 34 years, ∼50% of Chinese adults with NDD and IGT experienced stroke. Further efforts in diabetes management and intervention are required.","PeriodicalId":11140,"journal":{"name":"Diabetes Care","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144066518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
