Dementia Risk May be Driven by Multimorbidity vs Single Risk Factors, Suggests a New Study

ADA, EASD Release Update on Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes

Semaglutide prescribed in clinical practice helped more than half of study participants achieve weight loss of ≥10% at 6 months.

Tirzepatide in an exploratory analysis of SURPASS-2 and -3 trials added proof of shorter time to glycemic targets and weight loss goals to superior reduction of HbA1c.

Nocturnal HTN is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. How do you diagnose and treat in your practice? Test your overnight BP IQ.

Data from the pivotal phase 3 FIGARO-DKD cardiovascular outcomes trial with finerenone reaffirms the agent's dual cardiorenal risk reduction benefits in T2D-associated CKD.

A 5-fold greater risk for all-cause or CVD-related death in persons diagnosed with T2D before age 40 years should be a call to action for enhanced screening, study authors state.

Blood pressure-lowering therapy reduced the risk of major CV events in persons with and without type 2 diabetes, according to an individual participant-level data meta-analysis.

Youth newly diagnosed with T2D also were metabolically sicker, with higher HbA1c, serum glucose levels, and BMI at presentation.

Phase II clinical trial shows a fixed dose combination of semaglutide/cagrilintide reduces HbA1c and weight much better than either drug alone.

The woman is in her mid-fifties, diarrhea has been persistent for 10 days and BUQ pain for 2 days. What does the CT show? What's your diagnosis?

Analysis of 224 000 type 2 diabetes patients over 2 decades suggests the need for "revised care pathways" that better reflect the myriad causes of persistent morbidity.

The USPSTF guidance supports shared decision making with patients without CVD risk factors who may benefit from behavioral counseling on diet and physical activity.

Food consumption confined to a 10-hour period for adults with T2D led to increased time in range and lowered nocturnal and fasting glucose.

The GLP-1 RA given once weekly to T2D patients with hyperglycemia not controlled by diet and exercise lowered HbA1c to ≤6.5% in approximately half the study population.

"Primary Viewpoints," a podcast from Patient Care Online, brings you an exclusive interview with Hiddo Heerspink, PhD, PharmD.

Type 1 diabetes diagnoses increased by 81% during the 4-week acute phase of COVID-19 in UK patients and CVD diagnoses rose 6-fold, according to a large population-based study.

Social determinants of health, including education and income level and race/ethnicity, are drivers of declining cardiometabolic health in the US, says investigator Meghan O'Hearn.

Americans sitting on the cusp of cardiometabolic disease, ie, with prediabetes, prehypertension, overweight but not obesity, need intervention, now.

These 11 studies of cardiovascular and metabolic disease prevention, assessment, and treatment were top trending topics on Patient Care in the first half of 2022.

US prevalence of optimal cardiometabolic health has declined as poor levels have risen significantly over 2 decades. Investigator Meghan O'Hearn, MS, details the research.

Medicare Advantage plans may cut treatment corners to avoid more costly but more effective and targeted therapy for diabetes patients.

From type 2 diabetes to chronic yeast infection, we have picked the top 7 FDA-approved drugs every primary care physician should know about from the second quarter.

Less than 7% of the US population has "optimal" cardiometabolic health, with declines over 20 years significantly affecting racial/ethnic populations.


Drs Mikhail Kosiborod and Neil Skolnik discuss this unique moment in the history of T2D management that offers treatments to address its broad cardiometabolic impact.

US CV health is well below ideal, with 80% of adults scoring as only low or moderate in the first published study using AHA's new Life's Essential 8 algorithm.
