Aim: To determine the characteristics of people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) who practice sports, the support they receive, and the way in which they manage their disease during sports.

Methods: An observational cross-sectional study designed as a web-based survey released through social media was carried out, directed to physically active people with T1D.

Results: A total of 342 subjects completed the survey (16 children; 67.

The Real-WECAN study evaluated the real-life effectiveness and safety of canagliflozin 100 mg daily (initiated in SGLT-2 inhibitors naïve patients) and canagliflozin 300 mg daily (switching from canagliflozin 100 mg or other SGLT-2 inhibitors) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The objectives of this sub-analysis were to estimate the eGFR slope over the follow-up period and to identify predictive factors of eGFR decline in a multiple linear regression analysis. A total of 583 patients (279 on canagliflozin 100 mg and 304 on canagliflozin 300 mg) were included, with median follow-up at 13 months.

The aims of this multicentric retrospective study were to assess in a real-world setting the effectiveness and safety of canagliflozin 100 mg/d (CANA100) as an add-on to the background antihyperglycemic therapy, and to evaluate the intensification of prior sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) therapy by switching to canagliflozin 300 mg/d (CANA300) in patients with T2DM. One cohort of SGLT2i-naïve patients with T2DM who were initiated on CANA100 and a second cohort of patients with prior background SGLT-2i therapy who switched to CANA300 were included in the study. The primary outcome of the study was the mean change in HbA1c over the follow-up time.

Aims: To evaluate in a real-world setting the effectiveness of exenatide once-weekly (ExQW) in patients with T2D and to determine predictors of glycaemic and weight response to this drug at 6 months.

Methods: Observational, retrospective, multicenter study in adult patients with T2D and BMI ≥30 kg/m from 4 tertiary Spanish hospitals who started ExQW therapy at least 6 months before the inclusion and had not achieved adequate glycaemic control on oral therapies or other GLP-1 receptor agonists. Glycaemic response was defined as an A1C reduction ≥1.

This article presents an update of scientific evidence about the relation of obesity with the incidence or mortality by cancer. Almost all large epidemiological studies agree about the oncological risk of obesity, especially with regard to some types of cancers. Different physiopathological theories to explain this association have been proposed, from simple mechanical or dietetical causes to genetic or immunologic factors, including a possible role of hormones or adipocyte humoral factors.
