Diabetes investigator John Buse, MD, PhD, says laser focus on reducing T2D risk factors is equally as important as using the next right drug against the disease.

Dr Buse’s in-depth review of the GRADE study is followed by a discussion of the keen need for more comparative research and the many new questions the results have raised about optimal T2D therapy.

ADA 2021. A subgroup analysis of the FIDELIO-DKD trial showed that finerenone use was beneficial regardless of baseline insulin use among patients with T2D and CKD.

Preliminary GRADE study results showed that liraglutide and insulin glargine added to metformin maintained A1c level in target range longer than glimepiride or sitagliptin.

ADA 2021. Dapagliflozin was found to reduce type 2 diabetes incidence among patients with chronic kidney disease in a prespecified analysis of the DAPA-CKD trial.

ADA 2021. A prespecified subanalysis of FIDELIO-DKD found primary and secondary renal and CV endpoints consistent whether or not SGLT2 inhibitors were on board at study baseline.

Data released today at the American Diabetes Association 81st Scientific Sessions on a spike in new onset pediatric T2D at a single center during COVID-19 may signal much wider incidence.

Leading international diabetes researchers and clinicians will use the ADA's 81st annual Scientific Sessions as an ideal classroom to examine pandemic impact on diverse populations with diabetes.

The upcoming ADA virtual 81st Scientific Sessions will feature 5 sessions on the latest diabetes developments learned during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The American Diabetes Association 2021 Scientific Sessions run from June 25 to 29. This short slide show highlights 6 clinical trial updates that are a "must see" for primary care clinicians.
