Aim: Data on the efficacy of oral semaglutide (OS) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes are still lacking. This study evaluates the effectiveness of OS in a real world setting with a large ≥75 year old population.
Methods: This study includes all type 2 diabetic patients who started OS between October 2021 and December 2023 in seven diabetes centers. Data were collected at baseline, 6 (T6) and 12 (T12) months. Effectiveness measures were assessed on the total sample and by patient age (<65, 65-75, >75 years).
Results: Overall 1824 patients started OS, of those 18.7 % were over 75 years (>75 yr). OS resulted in a significant reduction in rate of patients using sulphonylureas, rapid and basal insulin therapy, HbA1c reduced by 0.87 % at T6 and at T12 (both p < 0.0001), body weight by 2.78 Kg (p < 0.0001) at T6 and 3.89 Kg (p < 0.0001) at T12. Similarly, >75 yr showed HbA1c reduction at T6 (p < 0.0001) and T12 (p = 0.0003), body weight significantly reduced (p for interaction 0.005) both at T6 (-1.57 Kg; p = 0.0003) and T12 (-2.74 Kg; p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: In our study, OS results efficacy in non-elderly and elderly patients, making it an effective treatment option also for very elderly type 2 diabetic patients.

Objective
This study aims to explore the association between liver steatosis and fibrosis, as assessed by Fibroscan, and the onset of type 2 diabetes in overweight, medication-free men and women.
Methods
We analyzed data from 164 participants with overweight or obesity (41.4 % male), including 39 individuals (23.8 %) with type 2 diabetes. All participants underwent Fibroscan to evaluate liver steatosis (CAP > 275 dBm) and fibrosis (liver stiffness > 8.2 kPa). Diabetes was diagnosed using fasting glucose, 2-hour glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and HbA1c levels.
Results
Liver steatosis was significantly more prevalent in individuals with diabetes (89.7 % vs 52 %, P < 0.001). Liver fibrosis was observed in 35.9 % of subjects with diabetes (vs 13.6 %, P = 0.002). Mean CAP (P < 0.001) and kPA (P = 0.006) values were significantly higher in the group with diabetes. Significant associations between CAP (MD: 30.87, P = 0.009) and liver stiffness (MD: 2.454, P = 0.006) with diabetes were found, independent of other variables. Additionally, liver steatosis was independently associated with elevated HOMA-IR levels (P = 0.001).
Conclusion
Elevated liver steatosis and fibrosis are both linked to type 2 diabetes, independent of traditional risk factors. These findings support screening for diabetes in individuals with significant steatosis and fibrosis and vice versa.

Aims
To examine the efficacy and safety of Curalin, as a supplement to anti-diabetic drugs (ADD).
Methods
135 patients were enrolled in the study. Among them, 109, ages 18–85 years, with HA1c 7.5–10 % under treatment with ADD were randomized 1:1 to receive Curalin supplement or placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in HbA1c after 3 months. The secondary endpoint was a decrease in HbA1c by more than 0.5 % and by more than 1 %. The exploratory endpoints included the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ), clinical and laboratory results.
Results
After 3 months, the mean reduction in HbA1c was 1.30 % (SD = 0.79) in the Curalin group compared to 0.10 % (SD = 0.70) in the placebo group (P < 0.0001). A decrease in HbA1c of ≥ 0.5 % was observed in 90.0 % of Curalin patients versus 19.0 % of placebo patients (P < 0.0001). HbA1c reduction of ≥ 1 % occurred in 64.0 % of Curalin patients and 11.9 % of placebo patients (P < 0.0001). Curalin patients reported higher satisfaction (DTSQ) with no severe adverse events.
Conclusions
Curalin treatment significantly reduced HbA1c over a period of 3 months and was well-tolerated.

Purpose
Geriatric diabetes is complicated by the frailty of this population, and hypoglycemia with insulin is not uncommon in these patients. Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems may provide better glycemic control in elderly patients with brittle type 2 diabetes.
Methods
Thirty-four patients (≥ 60 years) including cancer patients with brittle diabetes were switched to an AID system from multiple-dose insulin (MDI) treatment. HbA1c level, weight, total daily insulin requirement, and C-peptide, creatinine, and lipids were followed for at least six months.
Results
There were 34 patients (14 male, 41.2 %) with a median age of 67 (IQR 63.0–75.5). Six patients (17.6 %) were on chemotherapy and/or steroids (Ch/S). The patients’ initial median HbA1c % was 9.3 (IQR 7.6–11.0), c-peptide level was 0.9 (IQR 0.5–2.2) ng/mL, and median total daily insulin dose was 41 IU (IQR 32–53).
Six months after the patients were switched to an AID system their HbA1c % decreased to 7.1 (IQR 6.5–8.1), p < 0.001 and c-peptide increased to 1.21 (IQR 0.2–1.7) ng/mL, p = 0.878. Total insulin dose decreased with AID systems [32 IU (IQR 23.9–37.8)), p < 0.001].
There was a decrease in median HbA1c % in patients on Ch/S [8.7 (IQR 7.0–11.5) to 6.9 (IQR 6.3–9.2)] however it didn’t reach statistical significance p = 0.225. Total insulin dose also decreased without statistical significance [33 IU (IQR 41–28) to 28 (IQR 23–35), p = 0.173].
The mean time in range (TIR) percent of the patients with AID systems were as follows; <54 mg/dL was 0.5 %, 56–70 mg/dL was 1.3 %, 70–180 mg/dL was 64.8 %, >180 mg/dL was 26.7 % and > 250 mg/dL was 6.7 %.
Conclusion
Although AID systems are tested mostly in young type 1 patients our results show that elderly patients with brittle type 2 diabetes also benefit from an AID system. Even in very frail patients such as cancer patients, improvement can be seen.

Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is characterized by hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and elevated anti-insulin antibodies. While thiol-containing drugs commonly induce IAS, cases induced by proton pump inhibitors are rare. We report a case of IAS induced by omeprazole in a 27-year-old Chinese man with the HLA-DRB1*0406 subtype. This patient presented with Whipple’s triad after taking omeprazole without concurrent insulin use. The mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) and insulin-C-peptide release tests revealed a rapid surge in insulin levels within one hour, with a non-significant increase in C-peptide and a significant rise in insulin after precipitation. Further examination revealed high-titer positive insulin autoantibodies, leading to a diagnosis of insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS). Symptoms resolved upon discontinuation of omeprazole and adherence to dietary recommendations, with insulin autoantibody levels decreasing after a 6-month follow-up. This case highlights omeprazole’s potential to induce IAS, underscoring the need for vigilance due to widespread use of proton pump inhibitor.

Aim
In pregnant women with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), achieving a lower recommended time in range (TIRp,63–140 mg/dl) could have an impact on fetal outcomes. To determine the TIRp and mean glucose cut-off point associated with better fetal outcomes in pregnant women using automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.
Methods
A prospective cohort of pregnant women with T1D, using AID systems and followed-up in Latin America was analyzed. Optimal TIRp and mean glucose cut-off points for predicting large for gestational age (LGA) were determined using the Liu method. Fetal outcomes were evaluated for the identified cut-off point and the one recommended by guidelines (TIRp > 70 %).
Results
Sixty-two patients were included (mean age 31.9 ± 5.9 years, HbA1c 7.57 %±1.29 %, TIRp 59.8 %±14.6 %). 27.5 % on advanced hybrid closed loop systems (AHCL). LGA (50 vs 17.9 %,p = 0.010) and hyperbilirubinemia (45 % vs 11.8 %,p = 0.016) were more common in patients with TIRp < 59.1 %. Optimal cut-off of TIRp in the second trimester for predicting LGA was < 59.1 % (sensitivity 75 %, specificity 61 %) with an AUC of 0.68(CI 0.48–0.88). Optimal cut-off for mean glucose was 133 mg/dL (sensitivity 69 %, specificity 70 %) with an AUC of 0.70(CI 0.51–0.88) in the same trimester. Better metabolic control during the third trimester was seen in the AHCL users compared to other devices.
Conclusions
TIRp > 59.1 % and mean glucose < 133 mg/dl in the second trimester, is associated with lower fetal outcomes of large for gestational age. One of the strategies that would improve TIRp is the early use of AHCL systems. Further studies are needed before a strong recommendation can be made.

Aims
Estimate the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with remote telemonitoring-enabled virtual diabetes educator visits for improving glycemic management in adults with type 2 diabetes, not on insulin.
Methods
Participants with type 2 diabetes, not on insulin, and HbA1c > 7.0 % were enrolled in an open-label randomized trial of 6 weeks of CGM with telemonitoring versus enhanced usual care. Both groups received educator visits. HbA1c was assessed at 12 weeks.
Results
Of 105 participants (mean age 57.3 years, 49.5 % females, mean baseline HbA1c 8.0 %), 86 remained at follow-up. Change in HbA1c was −0.69 % (CGM) versus −0.33 % (enhanced usual care). Adjusting for baseline HbA1c, CGM was superior (0.65 % greater HbA1c reduction [95 % CI 0.17–1.12 %], p = 0.008). CGM participants were 92 % (RR = 1.92, 1.19–3.06, p = 0.007) more likely to have an HbA1c reduction ≥ 0.5 %, lost more weight (difference in weight reduction 2.17 kg, 0.22–4.11, p = 0.029) and were more satisfied with their treatment. No treatment-related adverse events were observed.
Conclusions
CGM with virtual diabetes educator visits is effective, safe, and acceptable in adults with type 2 diabetes not on insulin and should be considered as an alternative to drug therapy for improving blood glucose.

Objective
We aimed to evaluate the influences of cardiovascular disease (CVD) on the relationship between baseline systolic blood pressure (SBP) and outcomes in community populations with diabetes.
Methods
This is an observational study of 16,431 community adults with diabetes. The relationship between SBP with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) and all-cause death were evaluated using multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models and restricted cubic spline.
Results
After a median follow-up of 3.4 (IQR 2.6, 4.3) years, 2145 (13.1 %) MACE and 1025 (6.2 %) all-cause death occurred. In participants free of CVD, in reference to SBP < 120 mmHg group, the risks for MACE increased as SBP category (120–129, 130–139, and ≥ 140 mmHg) advanced (P-trend < 0.001), and there was a linear relationship (P-nonlinear = 0.75). The risks for all-cause death were lower in SBP of 120–139 mmHg and 140–159 mmHg groups but higher in SBP ≥ 160 mmHg group, and there was a U-shaped relationship (P-nonlinear < 0.001). In participants with existing CVD the relationship between baseline SBP with MACE and all-cause death did not show any specific pattern.
Conclusion
Results of the current study suggest that the relationship between baseline SBP with MACE and all-cause death varied significantly by baseline CVD status.
