In type 1 diabetes, real-time vs. intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring improved glycemic control
Clinicians can use the results of a recent European trial to reassure patients that good glycemic control can be achieved with either device, although real-time monitoring may be beneficial for those with more hypoglycemia issues, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In diabetes, some statins reduce non–HDL-C better than others vs. placebo
A review reaffirmed well-known information about the potency of commonly prescribed statins and suggested that non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) may be a better measure of cardiovascular risk than low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients on statins, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD, finerenone improved CV and kidney outcomes
An analysis of recent manufacturer-sponsored studies of finerenone show it to be a potentially important new treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease (CKD), although it poses risk for serious hyperkalemia, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In type 2 diabetes with increased CV risk, tirzepatide reduced HbA1c vs. glargine at 52 wk
Once tirzepatide is approved by the FDA, it may be a treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes who are overweight, have high risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease, and have no gastrointestinal symptoms, an ACP Journal Club summary said.

In type 2 diabetes, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced risk for serious hyperkalemia without increasing hypokalemia
A reduction in hyperkalemia could allow use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, or aldosterone-receptor blockers in at-risk patients, justifying the prescribing of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.
