The recent development of novel "patch"-type insulin infusion pump (IIP) technologies has created an opportunity to improve the quality of life for a broader type 2 diabetes patient demographic. At first glance, type 2 diabetes patients represent a large percentage of the total diabetes patient population; however, adoption of traditional IIP products and multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy has remained limited amongst this patient segment. With an insulin reservoir, delivery system, and cannula integrated into a small, wearable, disposable or semidisposable device, patch pumps simplify traditional IIP therapy, while potentially offering therapeutic benefits over traditional MDI therapy. Herein, potential benefits of patch-pump technology for type 2 diabetes patients are considered while outlining the hurdles to broad product adoption that will likely limit the near term commercial opportunity.

Impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitors in acute coronary syndrome patients on endothelial function and atherosclerosis related-biomarkers: ATH-SGLT2i pilot study.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Cardiology, Rabta Teaching Hospital, University of Medicine Tunis, Tunis, Tunisia.
Little is known about the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on atherosclerosis. We aimed to determine if a 90-day intake of Dapagliflozin could improve atherosclerosis biomarkers (namely endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated dilatation [FMD] and carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]) in diabetic and non-diabetic acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients when initiated in the early in-hospital phase. ATH-SGLT2i was a prospective, single-center, observational trial that included 113 SGLT2i naive patients who were admitted for ACS and who were prescribed Dapagliflozin at a fixed dose of 10 mg during their hospital stay for either type 2 diabetes or for heart failure.

Program of Medical and Population Genetics, Broad Institute of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Harvard, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Importance: Treatment to lower high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces incident coronary artery disease (CAD) risk but modestly increases the risk for incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). The extent to which genetic factors across the cholesterol spectrum are associated with incident T2D is not well understood.
Objective: To investigate the association of genetic predisposition to increased LDL-C levels with incident T2D risk.
Lipid Changes 10-15 Years After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Prospective Observational Study.
Obes Surg
January 2025
Medical Department, Ålesund Hospital, Møre Og Romsdal Hospital Trust, 6026, Ålesund, Norway.
Background: Several studies have documented a beneficial short-term effect on lipid profile after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), but there is limited data on long-term changes.
Objectives: To describe long-term (> 10 years) changes in lipid profile after RYGB and to explore the relationship of lipid changes to changes in weight and baseline and demographic parameters.
Methods: The BAROBS study is a prospective observational study post RYGB conducted at three different hospitals.
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists outperform basal insulin in cardiovascular and renal outcomes for type 2 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective cohort study.
Acta Diabetol

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, New Taipei Municipal TuCheng Hospital, New Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs) and basal insulin are currently used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as long-acting injectables. In this study, we aimed to compare the cardiovascular (CV) and renal outcomes of GLP-1 RAs and basal insulin treatment in patients with T2DM.
Method: We conducted a propensity score-matched cohort study of patients from Chang Gung Memorial Hospital institutions between 2013 and 2021.
Decoding the Multiple Identities and Crosstalk of Organokines in Obesity-Related Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Obesity causes an imbalance in the expression and secretion of several organokines, which in turn contributes to the development of metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. Organokines are produced by corresponding organs and affect systemic metabolic homeostasis. Diverse organokines play a crucial role in the communication between adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and other organs.
