In patients with type 2 diabetes and CV disease, empagliflozin reduced a composite of CV events at 3.1 years
An industry-funded trial found that those who took empagliflozin had lower rates of mortality, including from cardiovascular (CV) events, than those on placebo. A commentary in ACP Journal Club called the trial results fascinating but said they are not yet sufficient to change practice.

One-step screening approach detected more gestational diabetes than two-step approach but did not improve clinical outcomes
A screening approach that finds more cases of gestational diabetes without improving patient outcomes introduces considerable burden and costs to patients, clinicians, and medical systems, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

Basal insulin plus GLP-1 RA or SGLT2 inhibitor was noninferior to basal-bolus insulin intensification for HbA1c in T2DM
A recent Italian trial showed that regimens with a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) or a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor resulted in less hypoglycemia, but the results may not apply to patients with higher HbA1c levels, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

SGLT-2 inhibitors were not linked to severe or nonsevere UTIs vs DPP-4 inhibitors or GLP-1 agonists
An ACP Journal Club commentary called the results of this real-world, retrospective study reassuring regarding concerns about associations of urinary tract infections (UTIs) with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors.

In type 2 diabetes, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce risk for major kidney outcomes
The data suggest that renoprotection from sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors may not require the presence of diabetes or albuminuria and may be effective even in patients with worse renal function, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In type 2 diabetes, early metformin plus vildagliptin reduced treatment failure vs a stepwise approach
Despite this study's findings, clinicians should continue to follow guidelines and use metformin as the first-line drug intervention, then select from other drug classes when there is a compelling indication, advised an ACP Journal Club commentary.

Dapagliflozin reduced cardiorenal outcomes but not MACE in T2 diabetes with or at risk for atherosclerotic CVD
Baseline kidney disease, albuminuria, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) status may help determine which patients will benefit most from sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, according to an ACP Journal Club commentary.
