Empagliflozin Demonstrates Uniform Cardiovascular Benefits Across Diverse Patient Subgroups in Type 2 Diabetes: Insights from the EMPRISE Real-World Study

Empagliflozin Demonstrates Uniform Cardiovascular Benefits Across Diverse Patient Subgroups in Type 2 Diabetes: Insights from the EMPRISE Real-World Study

Empagliflozin consistently reduces major cardiovascular events, heart failure hospitalizations, and mortality across diverse sociodemographic and cardiovascular risk groups in older adults with type 2 diabetes, with especially pronounced absolute benefits in those with existing cardiovascular disease.
Common Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Linked to Lower Risk of Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes

Common Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Linked to Lower Risk of Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes

A large retrospective cohort study suggests that cetirizine, ibuprofen, and prednisone use in adults with type 2 diabetes is associated with significantly reduced incidence of diabetic macular edema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, highlighting anti-inflammatory pathways as potential targets for prevention.
Distinct Complication Patterns in Lean Versus Overweight African Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: Implications for Targeted Management

Distinct Complication Patterns in Lean Versus Overweight African Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: Implications for Targeted Management

African adults with type 2 diabetes who are lean exhibit distinct complication profiles characterized by higher retinopathy and stroke risk but lower hypertension and cardiovascular disease risk compared to their overweight/obese counterparts, indicating a unique diabetes phenotype requiring tailored treatment approaches.
suPAR as a Novel Marker for Residual Inflammatory Risk Beyond hs-CRP in Type 2 Diabetes with Coronary Artery Disease

suPAR as a Novel Marker for Residual Inflammatory Risk Beyond hs-CRP in Type 2 Diabetes with Coronary Artery Disease

In type 2 diabetes patients with coronary artery disease, suPAR levels remain unchanged despite treatment and independently predict adverse cardiovascular events beyond hs-CRP, highlighting suPAR's potential in identifying treatment-resistant inflammation and refining cardiovascular risk stratification.
