Article Synopsis
- A 73-year-old man with diabetes treated with sitagliptin developed widespread, itchy red skin lesions suspected to be a drug eruption due to the medication.
- Histopathological analysis revealed significant eosinophilic infiltration, leading to the discontinuation of sitagliptin and improvement with treatment, including prednisolone and phototherapy.
- Five months later, he experienced blistering lesions, and further tests indicated he had anti-laminin γ1 pemphigoid, a rare condition linked to the DPP-4 inhibitor, with some supporting autoimmune response findings.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the long-term impacts of tofogliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on atherosclerosis and key health markers in type 2 diabetes patients without cardiovascular disease.
- Over a 2-year period, both tofogliflozin and conventional treatments reduced carotid intima-media thickness, but with no notable difference between the two groups.
- Tofogliflozin showed advantages in improving blood sugar, cholesterol, BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure compared to conventional treatment, while safety metrics were not significantly different between groups.
