The new consensus recommends holistic, person centered care focused on glycemic and weight management, CV risk reduction, and cardiorenal organ protection.

The USPSTF guidance supports shared decision making with patients without CVD risk factors who may benefit from behavioral counseling on diet and physical activity.

Food consumption confined to a 10-hour period for adults with T2D led to increased time in range and lowered nocturnal and fasting glucose.

The GLP-1 RA given once weekly to T2D patients with hyperglycemia not controlled by diet and exercise lowered HbA1c to ≤6.5% in approximately half the study population.

Type 1 diabetes diagnoses increased by 81% during the 4-week acute phase of COVID-19 in UK patients and CVD diagnoses rose 6-fold, according to a large population-based study.

Social determinants of health, including education and income level and race/ethnicity, are drivers of declining cardiometabolic health in the US, says investigator Meghan O'Hearn.

Americans sitting on the cusp of cardiometabolic disease, ie, with prediabetes, prehypertension, overweight but not obesity, need intervention, now.

These 11 studies of cardiovascular and metabolic disease prevention, assessment, and treatment were top trending topics on Patient Care in the first half of 2022.

US prevalence of optimal cardiometabolic health has declined as poor levels have risen significantly over 2 decades. Investigator Meghan O'Hearn, MS, details the research.

Medicare Advantage plans may cut treatment corners to avoid more costly but more effective and targeted therapy for diabetes patients.
