Once-Weekly Insulin Icodec With Dosing Guide App Versus Once-Daily Basal Insulin Analogues in Insulin-Naive Type 2 Diabetes (ONWARDS 5) : A Randomized Trial
CONCLUSION: Compared with OD analogues, icodec with app showed superior HbA1c reduction and improved treatment satisfaction and compliance with similarly low hypoglycemia rates.PRIMARY FUNDING SOURCE: Novo Nordisk A/S.PMID:37748181 | DOI:10.7326/M23-1288 (Source: Annals of Internal Medicine)

Glycaemic control, risk of hypoglycaemia and all-cause mortality in new users of second-generation basal insulin with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease: a nationwide register-based cohort study
Conclusions/interpretationWe found no difference in HbA1c reduction, hospitalisation for hypoglycaemia or all-cause mortality between Gla-300 and Deg-100 in a real-world population of new users with type 2 diabetes and moderate to end-stage chronic kidney disease. Therefore, we conclude that these two treatment options are equally effective and safe in this vulnerable population.Graphical Abstract (Source: Diabetologia)

Tirzepatide in Hispanic/Latino Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Subgroup Analysis of the SURPASS program
CONCLUSIONS: Tirzepatide significatively reduced HbA1c and body weight in Hispanic/Latino and non-Hispanic/Latino patients. Tirzepatide was generally well tolerated in both subgroups. Efficacy and safety trends were comparable between subgroups and with the overall trial populations.PMID:37602701 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad495 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Real-World Safety and Effectiveness of Insulin Glargine 300 U/mL in Participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus During the Period of Ramadan in Four Countries (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey): A Prospective Observational Study
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that insulin Gla-300 maintained the glycemic control of T2DM patients who decided to fast during the holy month of Ramadan without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. Regular self-monitoring of blood glucose levels during Ramadan is highly recommended to avoid possible complications.PMID:37581325 | DOI:10.2174/1573399820666230811152520 (Source: Current Diabetes Reviews)
