In T1DM without CVD, the LIFE-T1D model predicted lifetime risk for CVD and non-CVD mortality
The most important implication of this new model for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) may be that it will motivate clinicians to initiate statin therapy in younger patients, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

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 type 2 diabetes, the effectiveness and side effects of GLP-1 RAs vary
A recent systematic review of the beneficial and harmful effects of 15 glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) should be helpful to clinicians and suggests which drugs are likely to dominate the market in the next few years, 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 requiring insulin initiation, icodec titrated with an app safely reduced HbA1c vs. daily basal insulin analogues at 52 wk
An ACP Journal Club commentary cautioned that although a recent industry-funded trial was designed to approximate real-world practice, certain factors may still limit the generalizability of its findings.

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 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 T2DM with obesity, time-restricted eating increased weight loss and reduced HbA1c level at 6 mo
The small trial comparing time-restricted eating and calorie restriction with control was adequately powered to inform clinical practice, but larger trials with longer follow-up should be done to confirm the results, an ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In high-risk T1DM, real-time continuous glucose monitoring vs self-monitoring reduced hypoglycemic events
The study provides compelling evidence for clinicians to recommend real-time continuous glucose monitoring to their patients at high risk for severe hypoglycemia, the ACP Journal Club commentary said.

In patients with type 2 diabetes and recent MI, colchicine reduced a composite CV outcome at 23 mo
Based on this and previous trials, low-dose colchicine should be considered as anti-inflammatory therapy for secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events, according to an ACP Journal Club commentary.
