Eldecalcitol may reduce diabetes risk in pre-diabetics with low insulin

This study evaluated the effectiveness of eldecalcitol in preventing type 2 diabetes in adults with impaired glucose tolerance. It found no significant difference in diabetes incidence between eldecalcitol and placebo groups.

Empagliflozin improves heart function in type 2 diabetes patients

This study evaluated the effects of empagliflozin on diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated end-diastolic pressure, finding significant improvements in various cardiovascular and metabolic parameters.

Empagliflozin may reduce kidney disease biomarkers but shows mixed effects on albumin in early diabetes

This study tested the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in 79 people with type 2 diabetes and early kidney disease over 24 weeks. While empagliflozin showed early improvements in albumin excretion at 4 and 12 weeks, the difference was not significant by 24 weeks. However, it did reduce certain hypoxia-related proteins in the blood that may contribute to kidney damage.

Empagliflozin reduces body fluid volume in type 2 diabetes patients

This study compared the effects of empagliflozin and glimepiride on endothelial function in individuals with type 2 diabetes, finding no significant differences in flow-mediated dilation but notable differences in body weight and fluid volume.

Engagement in a prediabetes education programme is linked to lower type 2 diabetes risk

This study looked at whether attending more sessions of a diabetes prevention programme helped lower type 2 diabetes risk. People who went to all sessions had an 88% lower risk of developing diabetes compared to those receiving standard care. However, fewer than 1 in 3 people attended all sessions.

Interventions
Lifestyle intervention for prediabetes
Outcomes

Ertugliflozin improves cardiac function in type 2 diabetes

The study evaluated the effects of ertugliflozin on cardiac function in individuals with type 2 diabetes and pre-heart failure, finding significant improvements in certain cardiac metrics.

Interventions
Ertugliflozin
Outcomes
Adverse events incidenceGlobal longitudinal strainHbA1c+9 more
