Aims: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the use of incretin-based therapies including dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists as well as sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitorsin persons with posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) so as to assess both their efficacy and safety.
Methods: We searched for publications on Kidney/Renal Transplantation and DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1-receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors and included every study using these antidiabetics. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistical significant.
Results: Sixteen studies and 310 individuals with a mean age of 55.98 ± 8.81 years were included in the analysis. Participants received DPP-4 inhibitors in 8 studies, SGLT-2 inhibitors in 6 studies and GLP-1 receptor agonists in 2 studies, with a mean follow-up of 22.03 ± 14.95 weeks. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction was demonstrated in 10 studies (mean +/- standard deviation (MD) = - 0.38%, I = 45%). MD of HbA1c was -0.3741 and -0.4596 mg/dl for DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors respectively. Nine studies demonstrated differences in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (MD = - 25,76) and 5 studies in post-prandial glucose (PPG) (MD = - 6.61) before and following treatment. Most studies did not show adverse effects on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and hepatic function.
Conclusions: DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT2 inhibitors appear both efficacious and safe in renal transplant recipients. More high-quality studies are required to guide therapeutic choices for PTDM.

Management of SGLT-2 Inhibitors in the Perioperative Period: Withhold or Continue?
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are commonly prescribed in diabetes mellitus and increasingly for cardiorenal protection. They carry the risk of euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (eDKA). Guidelines around the perioperative handling of these medications are limited and some evidence suggests that withholding them can lead to more surgical complications and poorer glycaemic control.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1a), and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (ns-MRA) are promising treatments for chronic kidney disease. This umbrella review of network meta-analyses evaluated their effects on cardiovascular outcomes, kidney disease progression, and adverse events, using the TOPSIS method to identify the optimal intervention based on P-scores. A total of 19 network meta-analyses and 44 randomized controlled trials involving 86,150 chronic kidney disease patients were included.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a significant health burden, exacerbated by the global increase in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This condition contributes substantially to the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes, primarily through myocardial dysfunction independent of coronary artery disease. Current treatment strategies focus on managing symptoms rather than targeting the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, highlighting a critical need for specific therapeutic interventions.

Frailty is an increasingly recognised complication of diabetes in older people and should be taken into consideration in management plans, including the use of the new therapies of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). The frailty syndrome appears to span across a spectrum, from a sarcopenic obese phenotype at one end, characterised by obesity, insulin resistance, and prevalent cardiovascular risk factors, to an anorexic malnourished phenotype at the other end, characterised by significant weight loss, reduced insulin resistance, and less prevalent cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, the use of the new therapies may not be suitable for every frail older individual with diabetes.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in geriatric populations. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits, but their effects on stroke risk may vary by age. This study aimed to explore the age-dependent effects of SGLT2i on stroke risk in patients with AF and DM.
