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.

In HFpEF, the benefit of empagliflozin on a composite of CV death or HF hospitalization at 26 mo did not vary by diabetes status
The combination of efficacy and safety data from a recent placebo-controlled trial and other research shows sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors to be an important treatment for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) regardless of patients' diabetes status, according to an ACP Journal Club commentary.

BP-lowering drugs reduced major CV events by similar amounts in patients with and without type 2 diabetes
The results of a large meta-analysis support the conclusion that degree of blood pressure (BP) lowering, rather than the drug used, is the prime driver of cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction from hypertension therapy, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In T1DM, open-source automated insulin delivery increased glucose time in target vs. sensor-augmented pumps
A challenge to wider use of the open-source systems to manage type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is that they are not approved by the FDA and thus require clinicians to be willing to learn from and support their patients, said an ACP Journal Club commentary.

Glargine and liraglutide improved glycemic outcomes at 5 y vs. glimepiride or sitagliptin, while liraglutide reduced CV events vs. glargine, glimepiride, or sitagliptin
Although microvascular complications and death were not materially different among the four treatment groups in a recent trial, the results do allow inferences about the role of sulfonylureas and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in practice, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In type 2 diabetes, the BT-001 smartphone app reduced HbA1c more than a control app at 90 d
The availability of an app that delivers cognitive behavioral therapy to patients with diabetes could have meaningful clinical effects, but it remains to be seen whether behavior changes are sustained long-term, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In prediabetes, oral vitamin D reduces progression to new-onset diabetes
Other preventive treatments for patients with prediabetes may be more effective than this review found vitamin D to be, but vitamin supplementation has advantages of convenience, tolerability, availability, and cost over other options, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

KDIGO provided recommendations on SGLT2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal MRAs in patients with diabetes and CKD
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are now recommended for more patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but data are needed on their cost-effectiveness, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In types 1 and 2 diabetes, weekly basal insulin Fc was noninferior to daily insulin degludec for HbA1c at 26 wk
The arrival of once-weekly insulin will undoubtedly be welcomed by patients and clinicians, but the advantages of fewer shots will have to be weighed against less flexibility in dosing of basal insulin, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In uncontrolled T2DM treated with a basal-bolus insulin regimen, weekly icodec was noninferior to daily glargine for HbA1c at 26 wk
Weekly insulin injections might be optimal for patients with type 2 diabetes who are already taking weekly glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and need additional basal insulin, noted an ACP Journal Club commentary.
