History Of

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a prevalent chronic disease with several macrovascular and microvascular complications. Cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease and stroke are common macrovascular complication that reduces the quality of life and lead to early mortality. Additionally, they pose enormous socioeconomic burden on the societies and the governments. Therefore, any intervention that reduces the cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes will have positive impact of the patients and the society. Thus, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular events after metabolic surgery in comparison with the new classes of glucose lowering agents in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The review included 11 randomized controlled trials to both GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2 i groups. It also included 7 metabolic surgery studies, 2 of these are randomized controlled trials and the other 5 are observational studies. These studies were the most relevant studies to the research question. The results revealed different baseline demographic and clinical characteristics between the medication trials and metabolic surgery studies. Moreover, it revealed significant reduction in cardiovascular events in metabolic surgery studies when compared to medication trials. It also showed significant HbA1c and weight reduction in the metabolic surgery group. The remission of diabetes was very high in the metabolic surgery group while none of medication trials accomplished diabetes recovery. However, both medication and surgery groups had adverse events. In conclusion, the review is consistent with previous literature. It suggests that metabolic surgery is more effective than medical therapy in reducing cardiovascular events. Although this conclusion should be interpreted with caution due to the differences in baseline characteristics between studies. In general, the review recommends younger adult diabetic patients with obesity and history of established cardiovascular diseases to undergo metabolic surgery. Whereas, older patients with history of cardiovascular disease should be advised to take one of the medications that has been proved to reduce cardiovascular events. Future studies that compare metabolic surgery and the new classes of the glucose lowering agents is recommended to confirm the findings in this review.

Increased Risk

IntroductionType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a substantial health problem worldwide. Pre-diabetic state is associated with increased risk for the development of diabetes. There are various pharmacological therapies with glucose-lowering activity for diabetes prevention. Of those, most are being compared with placebo instead of active agents. The relative effects and safety of different glucose-lowering drugs still remain uncertain. To address this gap, we will conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to evaluate comparative efficacy and safety of glucose-lowering agents for T2DM prevention in patients with pre-diabetes.Methods and analysisPubMed, the Cochrane library and Embase will be searched from inception to December 2019 for relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that examined anti-diabetic drugs for diabetes prevention in patients with pre-diabetes. Two reviewers working independently will screen titles, abstracts and full papers. Data extraction will also be completed by two independent authors. The primary outcome will be the incidence of T2DM in patients with pre-diabetes at baseline. Secondary outcomes will include the achievement of normoglycaemia, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and hypoglycaemic event. Pairwise meta-analysis and NMA will be conducted for each outcome using a frequentist random-effects model. Additionally, subgroup analyses will also be performed. The comparison-adjusted funnel plot will be used to assess publication bias. The overall quality of evidence will be rated with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. Data analysis will be conducted using Stata V.14.0.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval is not required. We plan to submit the results of this study to a peer-review journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019119157.

BACKGROUND: Data of real clinical practice in diabetes mellitus (DM) register allow to evaluate features and trends in structure of glucose-lowering therapy (GLT). AIM: Тo analyze of structure of GLT received by patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Moscow region for 2018 and to evaluate its dynamics over 15 years. METHODS: Analysis of GLT structure was carried out on basis of data from register of patients with DM in Moscow region, which is part of National register of diabetes mellitus in Russian Federation. In March 2018 it contained data on 211,792 T2DM patients of Moscow region. Structure of GLT administration was evaluated according T2DM duration, patients age and presence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Dynamics of GLT is analyzed from 2004 to 2018 yrs. RESULTS: In 2018 non-insulin glucose-lowering drugs (NIGD) prescription prevailed (78.3%), insulin therapy was prescribed in 18.5% of patients, 3.2% of patients did not receive drug therapy. Most commonly prescribed NIGD were metformin (69.3%) and sulfonylurea (51.3%). Older patients more often than younger did not use GLT at all and less frequently received insulin therapy and iDPP-4. Insulin therapy was prescribed twice as often in patients with CVD compared with patients without CVD (29.6% and 15.5%). NIGD monotherapy has been less commonly used in patients with CVD (67.3% and 81.2%). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) were prescribed to patients with CVD GLP-1 RA in 0.1% of cases, without CVD in 0.3% of cases, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in 1.1% and 0.6%. correspondently. CONCLUSION: Metformin was most commonly prescribed drug in GLT structure for T2DM patients in the Moscow region in 2018 yr. Percentage of new drugs in the structure of GLT increased mainly due to iDPP-4, and secondly due to SGLT2 inhibitors. New classes of GLT were more often prescribed to patients of younger age, with diabetes duration up to 10 years, overweight or obese. Administration of NIGD with proven cardiovascular protection in presence of CVD is almost two times less than for those without CVD.
