Dapagliflozin acutely improves kidney function in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The PRECARE study.

Dapagliflozin has been demonstrated to improve glycemic control, blood pressure, and body weight in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); indeed, it can also reduce the risk of progression to renal failure, of hospitalization for heart failure and of cardiovascular death. We aim to investigate the acute effect of Dapagliflozin on kidney function in the common clinical practice in T2D. This is a study including 1402 patients with T2D recruited from 11 centers in Lombardia, Italy, who were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months of treatment with Dapagliflozin 10 mg per day.

Switching to the Minimed™ 780G system achieves clinical targets for CGM in adults with type 1 diabetes regardless of previous insulin strategy and baseline glucose control.

Aims: Advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) systems represent the latest introduction in the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1DM). Randomized controlled trials and real-world evidence studies showed that AHCL systems are a safe and effective insulin management strategy. Aim of this retrospective, single-center, real-life study was to evaluate the effect on metabolic control, evaluated by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics, of the switch from four available insulin strategies to an AHCL system in adult patients with type 1 diabetes.

Sitagliptin Treatment at the Time of Hospitalization Was Associated With Reduced Mortality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and COVID-19: A Multicenter, Case-Control, Retrospective, Observational Study.

Objective: Poor outcomes have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); thus, it is mandatory to explore novel therapeutic approaches for this population.

Research Design And Methods: In a multicenter, case-control, retrospective, observational study, sitagliptin, an oral and highly selective dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, was added to standard of care (e.g.
