In type 2 diabetes, intensive glucose control for 5.6 years did not differ from usual care for major CV events at 14 years
These long-term follow-up data show no legacy effect from intensive glucose control on cardiovascular (CV) events, differing from the results of the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study, an ACP Journal Club commentary noted.

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.

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.

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.
