CGM is superior to SMBG in improving glycaemic control among individuals with type 1 diabetes in the community, especially in those with uncontrolled glycaemia (Diabetologia) Among patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control despite treatment with insulin glargine, the addition of subcutaneous tirzepatide, compared with placebo, to titrated insulin glargine resulted in statistically significant improvements in glycemic control after 40 weeks (JAMA) Adults from east Asia with obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes, given semaglutide 2·4 mg once a week had superior and clinically meaningful reductions in bodyweight, and greater reductions in abdominal visceral fat area compared with placebo, representing a promising treatment option for weight management in this population (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology) Circulating GIP levels are downregulated in patients with myocardial infarction and following cardiac surgery. These results might suggest nutrition-independent regulation of GIP secretion following myocardial injury in humans (Cardiovascular Diabetology) The use of a personalized approach in the management of people with T2D can reduce the cost and failure associated with the algorithmic “one-size-fits-all” approach, to anticipate disease progression, improve the response to diabetes pharmacotherapy and reduce the incidence of diabetes-associated complications (Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity)
