The aim of the present commentary was to raise awareness of potential depression-related intentional insulin overdose and its complications, as well as of the diagnosis and treatment of this entity. Insulin overdose may lead to severe and prolonged hypoglycemia, hypoglycemic coma, and death. Moreover, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypophosphatemia, and elevated liver enzymes are common. Insulin overdose should be suspected among people with diabetes in case of unexplained prolonged hypoglycemia and among people without diabetes who exhibit hypoglycemia and may have access to diabetic medications. The ratio of insulin to C-peptide helps distinguish exogenous insulin administration from endogenous secretion. The cornerstone of therapy is prompt administration of concentrated glucose infusions for days with simultaneous oral intake, when possible, and intense glucose monitoring to prevent hypoglycemia. Moreover, monitoring of serum electrolyte levels is recommended.

Obesity enhances genetic and environmental influences on T2D, being not only a primary risk factor but also exacerbating its severity. The complex mechanisms linking obesity and T2D involve adiposity-driven changes in β-cell function, adipose tissue functioning, and multi-organ insulin resistance (IR). Early detection and tailored treatment of T2D and obesity are crucial to mitigate future complications. Moreover, personalized and early intensified therapy considering the presence of comorbidities can delay disease progression and diminish the risk of cardiorenal complications. Employing combination therapies and embracing a disease-modifying strategy are paramount. Clinical trials provide evidence confirming the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). Their use is associated with substantial and durable body weight reduction, exceeding 15%, and improved glucose control which further translate into T2D prevention, possible disease remission, and improvement of cardiometabolic risk factors and associated complications. Therefore, on the basis of clinical experience and current evidence, the Eastern and Southern Europe Diabetes and Obesity Expert Group recommends a personalized, polymodal approach (comprising GLP-1 RAs) tailored to individual patient's disease phenotype to optimize diabetes and obesity therapy.

Diabetes is a well-known risk factor for PAD, and the occurrence of PAD in people with T2D further increases the risk of long-term complications. As the available evidence is primarily focused on the overall PAD population, we undertook a systematic review to describe the burden of comorbid PAD in people with T2D. The MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies including people with T2D and comorbid PAD published from 2012 to November 2021, with no restriction on PAD definition, study design or country. Hand searching of conference proceedings, reference lists of included publications and relevant identified reviews and global burden of disease reports complemented the searches. We identified 86 eligible studies, mostly observational and conducted in Asia and Europe, presenting data on the epidemiology (n = 62) and on the clinical (n = 29), humanistic (n = 12) and economic burden (n = 12) of PAD in people with T2D.

Incidence and prevalence varied substantially across studies; nonetheless, four large multinational randomised controlled trials found that 12.5%-22% of people with T2D had comorbid PAD. The presence of PAD in people with T2D was a major cause of lower-limb and CV complications and of all-cause and CV mortality. Overall, PAD was associated with poor quality of life, and with substantial healthcare resource use and costs.
