Risk of Lactic Acidosis or Elevated Lactate Concentrations in Metformin Users With Renal Impairment: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study is consistent with current recommendations that the renal function of metformin users should be adequately monitored and that the dose of metformin should be adjusted, if necessary, if renal function falls below 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2).

HARMONY 3: 104-Week Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo- and Active-Controlled Trial Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Albiglutide Compared With Placebo, Sitagliptin, and Glimepiride in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Taking Metformin.
CONCLUSION: Added to metformin, albiglutide was well-tolerated; produced superior reductions in HbA1c and FPG at week 104 compared with placebo, sitagliptin, and glimepiride; and resulted in weight loss compared with glimepiride. PMID: 24898304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Advancing Basal Insulin Replacement in Type 2 Diabetes Inadequately Controlled With Insulin Glargine Plus Oral Agents: A Comparison of Adding Albiglutide, a Weekly GLP-1 Receptor Agonist, Versus Thrice-Daily Prandial Insulin Lispro.
CONCLUSIONS: Weekly albiglutide is a simpler therapeutic option than thrice-daily lispro for advancing basal insulin glargine therapy, resulting in comparable HbA1c reduction with weight loss and lower hypoglycemia risk. PMID: 24898300 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy and Safety of Oral Methazolamide in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A 24-Week, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Methazolamide is the archetype for a new intervention in type 2 diabetes with clinical benefits beyond glucose control. PMID: 25125506 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Contribution of Liraglutide in the Fixed-Ratio Combination of Insulin Degludec and Liraglutide (IDegLira).
CONCLUSIONS: IDegLira achieved glycemic control superior to that of IDeg at equivalent insulin doses without higher risk of hypoglycemia and with the benefit of weight loss. These findings establish the efficacy and safety of IDegLira and the distinct contribution of the liraglutide component. PMID: 25114296 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Are Sulfonylurea and Insulin Therapies Associated With a Larger Risk of Cancer Than Metformin Therapy? A Retrospective Database Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: In a retrospective database analysis, taking into account potential time-related biases, no reduced cancer risk was found in metformin users. To clarify the association between diabetes medication and cancer risk, further well-designed observational studies and RCTs are needed. PMID: 25336750 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

HbA1c as a Predictor of Diabetes and as an Outcome in the Diabetes Prevention Program: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: HbA1c predicted incident diabetes. In contrast to the superiority of the lifestyle intervention on glucose-defined diabetes, metformin and lifestyle interventions had similar effects in preventing HbA1c-defined diabetes. The long-term implications for other health outcomes remain to be determined. PMID: 25336746 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The evaluation of clinical and cost outcomes associated with earlier initiation of insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
CONCLUSIONS: As insulin was advanced earlier in therapy in the two-stage and single-stage approaches, patients reaching their A1c targets increased, severe hypoglycemic events increased, and diabetes-related complications and mortality decreased. Cost savings were estimated for 3 (of 4) strategies in the single-stage approach. Delays in treatment escalation substantially reduced patients reaching target A1c levels and increased the occurrence of major nonhypoglycemic diabetic complications. With the exception of substantial increases in severe hypoglycemic events, earlier use of insulin mitigates the clinical consequences ...

Development of heart failure in medicaid patients with type 2 diabetes treated with pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, or metformin.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with metformin, there may be higher risk of developing HF in Medicaid patients started on rosiglitazone but not pioglitazone. While pioglitazone was associated with a lower risk of developing HF compared with rosiglitazone, health care professionals should continue to work closely with their patients to determine the treatment options most appropriate.
