The silent diabetic decompensation epidemic during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic – the role of primary care in early diagnosis and prevention of severe diabetic decompensation
Efficiency in controlling chronic diseases, especially in the primary care setting, is associated with reduced rates of hospitalizations. Poorly controlled diabetes is associated with severe diabetic decompensation, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS). It is hypothesized that, in addition to the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, there was a parallel increase in decompensation of previously controlled chronic diseases, such as diabetes. In this work, the impact of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic on hospitalizations for severe diabetic decompensation in a Portuguese hospital was assessed. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)

Differences in weight loss and safety between the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists: A non-randomized multicenter study from the titration phase
Obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Weight loss ( ≥5 %) reduces the risk of CVD. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1 RA) have shown clinically weight loss. Objectives: 1) To assess differences in the efficacy of weight loss and HbA1c; 2) to evaluate the safety and adherence during the titration phase. (Source: Primary Care Diabetes)
