Use of continuous glucose monitoring to assess time in target glucose range in T2D patients was evaluated in a systematic literature review covering ~14 000 participants.

The ADA's annual update to its comprehensive evidence-based standards includes new guidance on diabetes screening, first-line therapies, and comorbid NAFLD/NASH.

Finerenone, the nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, significantly reduced new-onset HF and improved other HF outcomes in the FIGARO-DKD trial.

The Guideline Toplines slide-show feature offers busy primary care physicians at-a-glance summaries of new and updated clinical guidelines across therapeutic areas.

Finerenone was associated with a 20% lower risk of end-stage kidney disease among patients with T2D and CKD, according to authors of the FIDELITY analysis.

Hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and NAFLD/NASH are frequently first diagnosed in primary care. Try these 10 questions on diagnosis and treatment of all 3.

The first nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist to be approved for adults with T2D-associated CKD fills a significant treatment void for millions of patients.

The SGLT-2 inhibitor class, originally approved as antihyperglycemic agents for T2D, has proven "pluripotent," adding indications for related conditions. Test your knowledge of a few basic facts.
