In contrast, type 2 diabetes (T2DM) remained mysterious until recently. Clinical studies and clinical experience had resulted in widespread acceptance of the apparently lifelong, progressive nature of the condition. Discoveries over the last 16 years have permitted these rationalisations to be discarded and the aetiology of T2DM is not now in doubt. It is a condition of excess fat inside the liver and pancreas which can be countered by weight loss. A turbulent 16 years of study has led directly to a therapeutically useful understanding of the condition. Importantly, this can be tailored to the individual.","PeriodicalId":42951,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Diabetes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49362881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the recent approval of liraglutide 3.0 mg, its success among patients attending specialist bariatric units remains uncertain.\u0000Objective: This study investigated the effectiveness of liraglutide 3.0 mg on weight, body mass index (BMI), treatment tolerability and its effects on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c).\u0000Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively obtained from medical records within Tier 3-4 bariatric weight management clinics. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were employed to establish the statistical significance (p<0.05) of changes in weight and HbA1c.\u0000Results: 33 patients were identified (72.7% female with mean baseline age, weight and BMI of 44.8 years, 156.6 kg and 55.0 kg/m2, respectively). Eighteen patients had completed 26 weeks of treatment. Of the 18 patients, the discontinuation rate due to side effects was 15.2%, indicating substantial treatment tolerance. After 26 weeks of treatment, BMI (±standard deviation) was significantly reduced by 7.9±6.3% (p<0.05) and 72.2% of patients achieved at least 5% weight loss. Additionally, a significant decrease in median HbA1c (4.5±4.5 mmol/mol) was observed (p<0.05), concurrent with increased remission from prediabetes.\u0000Conclusion: This retrospective study revealed that liraglutide 3.0 mg, together with lifestyle management, reduced weight and improved glycaemic control. These results support liraglutide’s application in certain high-risk populations, including patients waiting for bariatric surgical intervention.","PeriodicalId":42951,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Diabetes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44730492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham (QEHB) serves a multi-ethnic population with 6% Afro-Caribbean, 19% South Asian and 70% White European.\u0000A clinical audit of 18,965 emergency admissions to QEHB showed that 5% were undiagnosed but had admission glucose in the ‘diabetes’ range and 16% were in the ‘at risk’ range. The proportion of Afro-Caribbeans (7%) and South Asians (8%) in the ‘diabetes’ range was higher than White Europeans (5%). Given the magnitude of the problem, this paper explores the issues concerning the use of reflex HbA1c testing in the UK for diagnosis of diabetes in hospital admissions. HbA1c testing is suitable for most patients but conditions affecting red blood cell turnover invalidate the results in a small number of people.\u0000However, there are pertinent questions relating to the introduction of such testing in the NHS on a routine basis.

People who are on glucose-lowering medication(s) should monitor their capillary blood glucose (CBG).4 It is very important to display CBG and ketone readings in a clear, interpretable manner and to document them in a timely fashion to enable pattern recognition and titrate diabetes medications effectively. This allows one to determine the impact of change too. Sharma D et al concluded that a colour-coded CBG chart led to more actions being recorded when dysglycaemia occurred and to reduced mortality.5 Our aspiration was to achieve the same result at Watford General Hospital (WGH). Prior to this project, most people with diabetes had their CBG checked four times a day, but this was not necessarily before meals. It was randomly conducted, which led to an increase in adverse events audited by NaDIA-Harms and an increased number of referrals to the diabetes team. This required urgent intervention from the diabetes team. There were no clear instructions for ward staff outlining when to check the patient’s CBG or ketones at WGH. It is difficult to establish a pattern of hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia using the current line graph, which makes titration of diabetes medications tough. Moreover, there were no sections for nursing staff to add notes for any interventions carried out for dysglycaemia. After reviewing charts used at different hospitals, the team decided to develop a new chart, which looks similar to the one that people with diabetes use at home. The new Joint British Diabetes Society guidelines (JBDS) promote self-management of diabetes as an inpatient;4 a familiar chart would promote this.","PeriodicalId":42951,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Diabetes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44979938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Use of insulin (beyond 1922) gave recognition to insulin resistance and the categorisation of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The first sulphonylurea (carbutamide, 1956) emerged from its use as an antibacterial sulphonamide prone to cause hypoglycaemia, and biguanides were first used to treat diabetes in 1957 despite their glucose-lowering properties having been known since the 1920s. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors arose from a screening programme for amylase inhibitors by Bayer in the 1970s and acarbose was introduced in 1990. The first thiazolidinedione (ciglitazone; not developed) was identified in a screening programme for triglyceride-lowering compounds by Takeda in the late 1970s and gave rise to pioglitazone (approved 1999), although first to market was troglitazone (from Warner Lambert 1997, withdrawn 2000). Exendin, an analogue of the incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), was identified in 1992 in the saliva of a lizard (Heloderma suspectum), and took until 2005 to be marketed as exenatide. To promote the efficacy of endogenous GLP-1, its rapid inactivation by the enzyme dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP4) was blocked by clever molecular design of the first DPP4 inhibitors (vildagliptin and sitagliptin, approved in 2006). SGLT2 inhibitors are based on phlorizin, identified in apple tree bark (1835) and modified (2000) to avoid intestinal degradation: further modifications to increase selectivity against SGLT2 gave dapagliflozin and canagliflozin - approved 2012 and 2013, respectively, in Europe.","PeriodicalId":42951,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Diabetes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48001130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
