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.

Patients surviving COVID-19 had increased risk for incident diabetes vs. persons without COVID-19
Although the effect of COVID-19 on diabetes incidence is small, according to the study, the affected population could be large, given that many at-risk people have had acute COVID-19, 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.

Antihypertensive drugs reduced risk for new-onset type 2 diabetes; effect varies by antihypertensive class
The results of this individual-patient data meta-analysis suggest that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers should be first-line antihypertensive agents in patients with prediabetes, 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 CV disease, GLP-1 RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors reduce CV mortality
The results of the meta-analysis support recommendations to use sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in diabetes patients who have or are at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide reduced HbA1c vs. semaglutide
This industry-funded trial of tirzepatide, a unimolecular dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, heralds a new era of “twincretins” in diabetes management, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

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.

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.

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.
