Cardiorenal benefit with investigational GLP-1 RA independent of concurrent SGLT2 inhibitor
The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) efpeglenatide affords cardiovascular and renal protection that is not explained by concurrent use of a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to an exploratory analysis of AMPLITUDE-O.

Insulin secretion predicts response to therapy in new-onset diabetes
The increase in C-peptide (C-Pep) above fasting following glucose load is associated with response to antihyperglycaemic therapy in patients with new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), according to a study. The plasma C-Pep concentration ratio (C-Pep120/C-Pep0) may be used for the individualization of such therapy in this population.
