Type 2 diabetes in adolescents is reported to be increasing in prevalence. Its complications may occur dramatically earlier in patients who develop it during adolescence compared with the traditional patients who develop diabetes in middle age. It may be difficult to differentiate types of diabetes at the time of diagnosis; in this article, some helpful information will be presented to assist with that task and help with consideration of other types of diabetes. Lifestyle modification is the foundation treatment, as it is in adults with type 2 diabetes. Pharmaceutical treatment will be addressed.

Strategies to reduce hyperglycemia-related anxiety in elite athletes with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative analysis.
PLoS One
January 2025
School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.

PLoS One
January 2025
Population Health Research Institute, St George's, University of London, London, United Kingdom.
Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more common in certain ethnic groups. This systematic review compares mortality risk between people with T2D from different ethnic groups and includes recent larger studies.
Methods: We searched nine databases using PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42022372542).
Efficacy and safety of finerenone in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes by diuretic use: A FIDELITY analysis.
Eur J Heart Fail
January 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Chicago Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Aims: This post hoc analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone by baseline diuretic use in FIDELITY, a pre-specified pooled analysis of the phase III trials FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD.
Methods And Results: Eligible patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD; urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥30-<300 mg/g and estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥25-≤90 ml/min/1.73 m, or UACR ≥300-≤5000 mg/g and eGFR ≥25 ml/min/1.
Comparing demographic/clinical characteristics, health care resource utilization, and costs among patients with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with and without the use of cardioprotective medications.
J Manag Care Spec Pharm
January 2025
Joslin Diabetes Center, Sequel Med Tech, Boston, MA.
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) causes increased health care resource utilization (HCRU) and costs in the United States. People with T2D are more likely to have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Medical associations recommend cardioprotective antidiabetic medications, including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with T2D with established, or a high risk of, ASCVD, but not all eligible patients receive these medications.

J Manag Care Spec Pharm

Abbott Diabetes Care, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Both glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have been shown to improve glycated hemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Recently, a US real-world study found statistically significant improvements in A1c levels among patients using GLP-1 RA and a CGM device, compared with a matched cohort receiving only GLP-1 RA.
Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness from a US payer perspective of initiating CGM (FreeStyle Libre Systems) in people living with T2DM using a GLP-1 RA therapy, compared with GLP-1 RA alone.
