Article Abstract
Background/aims: Recent evidences suggest that hemodialysis (HD) induces glycemic variations in diabetic patients. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices measure interstitial glucose in a 'Holter-like' manner thereby improving the glycemic control assessment method.
Methods: A CGM device (Medtronic iPRO) was used on 12 diabetic patients with chronic HD for 6 days to assess intra- and extra-dialytic interstitial glucose.
Results: In all enrolled patients, HD was associated with a decrease of interstitial glucose values. Intradialytic glucose nadir was 79 mg/dl and it was reached at the third hour after the beginning of the session. At the end of HD, interstitial glucose increased in all patients and a glycemic peak (187 mg/dl) occurred after an average time of 2.5 h. No episodes of nocturnal hypoglycemia occurred.
Conclusion: HD is associated with significant intradialytic reduction of glycemia and postdialytic hyperglycemia. CGM devices result in better monitoring of glycemic trends in diabetic patients on chronic HD and could improve insulin management.

Impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on the risk of age-related ocular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A target trial emulation study.

Aims: Chronic ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are leading causes of vision loss in older adults. While sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are widely prescribed in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), their effects on ocular disease risk remain largely unknown.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between SGLT2i use and the risk of AMD and other age-related ocular conditions in adults aged ≥60 with T2DM, using a target trial emulation framework based on the TriNetX global health research network (2013-2025).

Background: There is a higher prevalence of heart rate corrected QT (QTc) prolongation in patients with diabetes and metabolic syndrome. QT interval genome-wide association studies have identified candidate genes for cardiac energy metabolism, and experimental studies suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids have direct effects on ion channel function. Despite this, there has been limited study of metabolite concentration relationships with QT intervals.

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.

[Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) : a GIP/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes].

Tirzepatide is a unimolecular dual agonist of both glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, recently commercialized and reimbursed in Belgium for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Because of the complementarity of action of the two incretins, tirzepatide showed, in a dose-dependent manner (5, 10 and 15 mg as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection), a better efficacy (greater reduction in HbA1c and body weight) compared with placebo, semaglutide 1 mg, basal insulin and preprandial boluses of insulin lispro in six studies of the SURPASS programme. Tirzepatide tolerance is almost similar to that of pure GLP-1 receptor agonists, with digestive adverse events, most often during the first weeks after initiation, which justifies the recommendation of progressive titration every four weeks.
