Poor glycaemic control tied to death risk in T2D patients with CKD
Poorly controlled glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels appear to aggravate the risk of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), a recent study has found. Glycaemic control is not associated with progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).

Use of RAS inhibitors associated with lower cancer risk in T2D
A real-world study of over 250,000 type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients from Hong Kong has found that use of renin-angiotensin-system inhibitors (RASIs) is independently associated with reduced risk of cancer, including diabetes-related cancers and cancer-specific mortality in diabetes.

Pemafibrate superior to conventional fibrates in T2DM
Treatment with pemafibrate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) yields more favourable effects on lipid profile, as well renal function, as compared with conventional fibrates, a study has found.

SGLT2 inhibitors potentially protective against dry eye disease
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients on sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors appear to be at lower risk of dry eye disease (DED) compared with their counterparts who are receiving glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), as shown in a study.

Lifestyle change lowers T2D risk in women with gestational diabetes mellitus history
Each additional optimal modifiable factor among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly contributes to a reduction in type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, suggests a recent study. These associations are also present among individuals who are overweight/obese or are at greater genetic susceptibility to T2D.
