In T2DM, periconceptional, noninsulin, second-line antidiabetes medications were not linked to major congenital malformations vs. insulin
A new study provides some reassurance to patients who unintentionally become pregnant while taking diabetes drugs but should be interpreted with caution because the number of infants exposed was low and only pregnancies resulting in live births were included, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In higher-risk, statin-intolerant adults with diabetes, bempedoic acid reduced MACE at a median 3 y
An ACP Journal Club commentary noted that it's unknown whether lower-risk and younger statin-intolerant patients would derive the degree of benefit from bempedoic acid found in this study, since the industry-funded trial enrolled only high-risk and older patients.

In latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, mortality was similar to T2DM but retinopathy was higher at 5.9 y
If confirmed, the findings of different disease trajectories among patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults could eventually merit reclassification of the types of diabetes, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In patients with type 2 diabetes or HF, SGLT2 inhibitors reduce gout-related outcomes
The effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on gout in patients with type 2 diabetes or heart failure (HF) may allow reduced polypharmacy when treatment for gout is also needed, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In adults with BMI ≥27 kg/m2 and type 2 diabetes, adding tirzepatide to a lifestyle intervention increased weight loss at 72 wk
The new drugs known as “twincretins” represent a major breakthrough for patients with overweight or obesity, prediabetes, or diabetes, but obstacles will include supply, lack of cost-effectiveness evidence, and insurance coverage, an ACP Journal club commentary said.

In T2DM with CKD, semaglutide reduced major kidney disease events at 3 y
A recent industry-funded trial solidifies glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists as a treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), but questions about safety in patients with advanced CKD remain, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.
