<b>Objective</b>: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is linked to risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetes, but the nature of the association is unclear.

We grouped serum MBL and MBL expression genotypes into three categories: low, intermediate, and high.

The association with outcomes was examined by spline and Cox regression analyses. </p> <p><b>Results</b>: Serum MBL and CVE showed a U-shaped association. Compared to the intermediate serum MBL category, the adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for CVE was 1.82 (95% CI, 1.34 to 2.46) for the low-MBL category and 1.48 (95% CI, 1.14 to 1.92) for the high-MBL category. We found a similar U-shaped association for all-cause mortality, but with lower risk estimates. Compared to the intermediate MBL expression genotype, the adjusted HR for CVE was 1.40 (95% CI, 0.87 to 2.25) for the low-expression genotype and 1.44 (95% CI, 1.01 to 2.06) for the high-expression genotype. MBL expression genotype was not associated with all-cause mortality. </p> <p><b>Conclusions:</b> Both serum MBL and MBL expression genotype showed a U-shaped association with CVE risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Background We explored whether clinically relevant baseline characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes can modify the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods We investigated Medline and EMBASE through June 2019. We included randomized clinical trials reporting the effect of GLP-1 RA or SGLT-2i on MACE in subgroups of patients with type 2 diabetes, identified through key baseline factors: established cardiovascular disease; heart failure; chronic kidney disease; uncontrolled diabetes; duration of diabetes; hypertension; obesity; age; gender and race. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from trials were meta-analyzed using random-effects models. Results Ten trials enrolling 89,790 patients were included in the analyses. Subgroup meta-analyses showed a 14% risk reduction of MACE in patients with established cardiovascular disease [GLP1-RA: HR, 0.86 (95% CI, 0.80–0.93); SGLT-2i: 0.86 (0.80–0.93)], and no effect in at-risk patients without history of cardiovascular events [GLP1-RA: 0.94 (0.82–1.07); SGLT-2i: 1.00 (0.87–1.16)]. We observed a trend toward larger treatment benefits with SGLT-2i among patients with chronic kidney disease [0.82 (0.69–0.97)], and patients with uncontrolled diabetes for both GLP1-RA or SGLT-2i [GLP1-RA: 0.82 (0.71–0.95); SGLT-2i: 0.84 (0.75–0.95)]. Uncontrolled hypertension, obesity, gender, age and race did not appear to modify the effect of these drugs. Conclusions In this exploratory analysis, history of cardiovascular disease appeared to modify the treatment effect of SGLT2i or GLP1-RA on MACE. Chronic kidney disease and uncontrolled diabetes should be further investigated as potential effect modifiers.

The clinical case we present shows that an inadequate pharmacological treatment of type 2 diabetes does not prevent complications affecting especially the cardiovascular system. Cardiovascular events remain the leading cause of death in people with diabetes. The optimal management of the patient described required a global reassessment and the introduction of new therapies which were adapted according to diabetes progression with its associated complications (Diabetology).
