Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease marked by an excessive rise in blood sugar (glucose) levels caused by a partial or total absence of insulin production, combined with alterations in the metabolism of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 425 million individuals globally had diabetes in 2017 which will be 629 million by 2045. Several medications are used to treat DM, but they have limitations and side effects including weight gain, nausea, vomiting, and damage to blood vessels and kidneys.

Aims: To compare the efficacy of adding imeglimin versus that of metformin dose escalation on glycemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor plus low-dose metformin (500-1000 mg/day).
Materials And Methods: In this multicentre, open-labelled, prospective, randomized, parallel-group comparison study, the addition of imeglimin (2000 mg/day) or metformin escalation was applied for 24 weeks in eligible subjects. The primary endpoint was the mean change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over 24 weeks.

Mild cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized as a complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although currently no disease-modifying treatments for cognitive disorders exist, interest surged in potential neuroprotective effects of newer anti-diabetic drugs. This study investigates the impact of newer anti-diabetic drug classes, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4i) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) - on cognitive decline in T2D patients on metformin therapy.

Latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is the most prevalent form of autoimmune diabetes (AI-D) in adulthood; however, its accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment remain challenging. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is commonly observed in LADA patients, while increased vitamin D exposure through supplementation and dietary intake is associated with a reduced incidence of LADA. Although limited, case reports, case-control studies, and randomized clinical trials have examined the effects of vitamin D supplementation-alone or combined with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4-is)-on glucose regulation, residual β-cell function, and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA65) levels.

India has a high burden of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Challenges to managing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in India are unique. Indian T2DM patients do not just present with DM alone, but with clustering of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors like hypertension (HTN), dyslipidemia, and obesity.
