Latest Diabetes News from the National Library for Health

MeReC Monthly (June 2008): Self-monitoring in type 2 diabetes
via NeLM news - Diabetes on 7/7/08
The latest edition of MeReC Monthly reviews the use of routine self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), noting that two recent studies (ESMON and DiGEM economic analysis) have reinforced the view that it is unlikely to be beneficial in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not treated with insulin and may worsen quality of life and waste NHS resources. Therefore it should be reserved for patients treated with insulin and for non-insulin treated patients in specific circumstances, as recommended in recent NICE guidance on type 2 diabetes (see link).

SMC accepts restricted use of Eucreas tablets (vildagliptin 50mg + metformin 850mg or 1000mg) for type 2 diabetes

FDA panel says diabetes drugs need cardiovascular risk studies
via NeLM news - Diabetes on 2/7/08
PharmaTimes reports that the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee has advised US regulators they should insist that studies on new diabetes treatments include much more data on the potential heart risks of the treatments....

FDA to consider necessity of cardiovascular studies for diabetes drugs
via NeLM news - Diabetes on 30/6/08
According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, the US FDA is summoning a panel of experts to consider whether pharmaceutical companies should be required to study the cardiovascular effects of diabetes drugs prior to approval. The report points out that cardiovascular endpoints are relatively rare and therefore large, long-term studies would be required to demonstrate any statistically significant effects; this could slow the development of new drugs and would increase costs.

FDA approves PrandiMet (repaglinide and metformin) for type 2 diabetes
via NeLM news - Diabetes on 24/6/08
According to BioSpace, the FDA has approved PrandiMet™ (repaglinide and metformin) tablets as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are already treated with a meglitinide [the drug class that repaglinide belongs to] and metformin or who have inadequate glycaemic control on a meglitinide alone or metformin alone. Please see the link above for details.

Benefits of intensive glucose control in older type 2 diabetics limited by co-morbidity
via NeLM news - Diabetes on 30/6/08
A decision analysis study suggests that for older patients with type 2 diabetes, intensive blood glucose control becomes less useful with increasing co-morbidity and functional impairment; chronological age alone, however, was not useful for predicting benefit. Intensive control of blood glucose has been shown to be beneficial in type 1 diabetes, and may also improve outcomes in type 2 diabetes....

The long-term effect of lifestyle interventions to prevent diabetes in the China Da Qing Diabetes Prevention Study: a 20-year follow-up study
...type 2 diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance, but how long these benefits extend beyond the period of active intervention, and whether such interventions reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, is unclear. We aimed to assess whether intensive lifestyle interventions have a long-term effect on the risk of diabe...

Cardiovascular disease risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus: insights from mechanistic studies
...type 2 diabetes mellitus have increased cardiovascular disease risk compared with those without diabetes. Treatment of the residual risk, other than blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol control, remains important as the rate of diabetes increases worldwide. The accelerated atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in diabetes is likely to be mult...

Diabetes care for south Asian patients: a special case
...type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, particularly for south Asian people living in urban areas. South Asian individuals have a four-fold to six-fold greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes, contract the disease at an earlier age, and have higher rates of renal and cardiovascular complications than do other ethnic groups. Although prev...

Lifestyle intervention, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
...type 2 diabetes was first proposed in 1921 by Elliot Joslin who wrote: “There are entirely too many diabetic patients in the country…Therefore, it is proper at the present time to devote attention not alone to treatment, but still more, as in the campaign against the typhoid fever, to prevention. The results may not be quite so striking or as im...

Halting the accelerating epidemic of type 1 diabetes
...type 1 diabetes has been steadily increasing worldwide since the middle of the 20th century. The increase has so far been linear and predictable. However, in today's Lancet Valma Harjutsalo and colleagues show that in Finland, which has the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes in the world, the incidence predicted for 2010 on the basis of data f...

Book: A meeting point for cardiologists and diabetologists
...years for diabetes. Heart disease accounts for between two-thirds and three-quarters of all deaths in type 2 diabetes, and is the leading cause of death in type 1, not least because it abolishes the premenopausal protection from coronary disease enjoyed by women. 30 years ago, these effects attracted less attention: a coronary epidemic was sweep...

Statins and diabetes – Authors' reply
...people with diabetes whose baseline LDL cholesterol concentration was 2·6 mmol/L or less. As previously reported, reducing LDL cholesterol with statin therapy by a further 1 mmol/L in this group resulted in a significant 32% relative reduction in the incidence of major vascular events (136 [9·8%] vs 170 [12·2%], rate ratio 0·68; p=0·02, webfigur...

Type 1 diabetes, hyperglycaemia, and the heart
...Type 1 diabetes is associated with a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular disease that might not always be appreciated in view of the fairly young age of patients with this condition. In fact, in type 1 diabetes, the heart is subject to a variety of pathological insults, including accelerated atherosclerosis, cardiac autonomic neuropat...

Intensive insulin therapy in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes
...type 2 diabetes is characterised by worsening hyperglycaemia and progressive deterioration in function of the insulin-secreting pancreatic β cells. Despite intense investigative efforts, the pathophysiological basis underlying β-cell dysfunction (and the concomitant loss of β-cell mass) remains unclear. Nevertheless, the central importance of de...

Effect of intensive insulin therapy on β-cell function and glycaemic control in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: a multicentre randomised parallel-group trial
...type 2 diabetes might improve β-cell function and result in extended glycaemic remissions. We did a multicentre, randomised trial to compare the effects of transient intensive insulin therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII] or multiple daily insulin injections [MDI]) with oral hypoglycaemic agents on β-cell function and diabetes...

Self monitoring of blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes

BMJ.com

The NHS is spending £100 million a year to help people with non-insulin treated type 2 diabetes monitor their own blood sugar levels, but the process is more likely to make them depressed than provide any long term health benefits. Access the two research papers and editorial by following the links from bmj.com's Research channel. There are also Rapid Responses to these online first papers.
