European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting 2024

A study presented at EASD 2024 shows that microvascular complications of diabetes, such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy, are independently and concomitantly associated with moderate/severe periodontitis.

The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study presented at EASD 2024 shows a link between late chronotype and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D).

The combination of re-cellularization via electroporation therapy (ReCET) plus semaglutide appears to improve glucose control and metabolic health and eliminate the need for insulin therapy in most patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with the effects maintained up to 2 years, according to the follow-up data from the single-arm, dose-finding, first-in-human EMINENT trial.

The novel plant-based polyphenol-rich compound, TOTUM-63, helps keep the lid on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and other measures of glucose dysregulation in people with prediabetes and early type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to the pivotal phase II/III REVERSE-IT study.

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who initiated treatment with empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), and a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) show reduced hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) and all-cause mortality risks relative to those treated with empagliflozin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), reports a study presented at EASD 2024.

Treatment with canagliflozin results in clinically meaningful reductions in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), when compared with placebo, in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes (T2D), as shown by the results of a phase III study presented at EASD 2024.
