Since the earliest clinical descriptions of diabetes, hypoglycemia has been recognized as a critical and sometimes life-threatening complication of glucose-lowering therapy [<span>1</span>]. In the early 20th century, with the advent of insulin therapy, hypoglycemia emerged as a new and immediate concern, often identified only after the onset of severe neuroglycopenic symptoms. Early detection relied primarily on clinical observation and patient self-reporting of warning signs, with little objective measurement available. The development of capillary blood glucose testing in the 1970s and 1980s marked a major advance, enabling both patients and clinicians to more accurately identify and document hypoglycemic episodes. Over the past two decades, the evaluation of hypoglycemia has been revolutionized by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technologies and the integration of predictive algorithms, which now allow for real-time detection, detailed glycemic profiling, and proactive management [<span>2</span>]. This historical progression from symptom-based recognition to advanced digital monitoring reflects the ongoing commitment to improving safety and outcomes in diabetes care.</p><p>However, hypoglycemia remains a principal barrier to optimal glycemic control in diabetes, particularly for individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), who require intensive insulin regimens to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications [<span>3</span>]. While intensified therapy reduces long-term risks, it simultaneously increases the incidence of hypoglycemia, necessitating careful therapeutic balancing. A significant subset of individuals with T1DM—estimated at up to 25%—develop hypoglycemia unawareness, where autonomic warning symptoms such as sweating and tremor become attenuated or absent [<span>4</span>]. This phenomenon greatly elevates the risk for severe events requiring external assistance, often forcing patients and clinicians to accept higher glucose targets than recommended [<span>5</span>]. Thus, the fear and reality of hypoglycemia continue to restrict the full benefits of modern diabetes therapies and remain a central concern in clinical care.</p><p>The implications of hypoglycemia extend well beyond transient physical symptoms. Acute episodes have been associated with a heightened risk of cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia, linked to autonomic surges and altered cardiac repolarization [<span>6</span>]. Hypoglycemia may also induce a prothrombotic state, increasing platelet activation and coagulation, thereby further raising cardiovascular risk—an especially pertinent issue in people already predisposed to vascular disease [<span>7</span>].

However, given the rapid weight loss induced, there is concern about the total change in body composition, including lean body mass (LBM). Current literature on these effects contains significant heterogeneity, with some studies reporting a loss of 40%–60% of LBM and others reporting 15% or less. To combat this, selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have become a popular candidate. Given their androgen receptor selectivity, SARMs have notable anabolic properties and proposed improved safety profiles over traditional anabolic compounds. Several of these agents, such as enobosarm, have been investigated in clinical trials involving older patient populations or patients with cachexia or sarcopenia secondary to chronic diseases. Furthermore, other agents to maintain or enhance LBM, such as antimyostatin agents, are also under investigation. Exploring this potential synergy could lead to better weight loss and body composition management in patients using GLP-1 RAs for diabetes or weight loss therapy. This review aims to evaluate the potential benefits and uses of SARMs in ameliorating the body composition changes induced by GLP-1 RAs. Other investigational agents to retain or increase muscle mass and the future possibilities of these drugs will be discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes","volume":"17 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1753-0407.70119","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144740531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
