July 11, 2022

Major recommendations

  • Diet, physical activity, and behavioral therapy should be designed to achieve and maintain at least 5% weight loss. Additional weight loss usually results in further improvements in control of diabetes and cardiovascular risk (level of evidence B).

  • Interventions to achieve weight loss should include a high frequency of counseling (≥16 sessions in 6 months) to achieve a 500- to 750-kcal/d energy deficit (level of evidence A).

Imatinib therapy for patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial

Summary

Background

Type 1 diabetes results from autoimmune-mediated destruction of β cells. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib might affect relevant immunological and metabolic pathways, and preclinical studies show that it reverses and prevents diabetes. Our aim was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of imatinib in preserving β-cell function in patients with recent-onset type 1 diabetes.

DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2107519

Abstract

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that is under development for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The efficacy and safety of once-weekly tirzepatide as compared with semaglutide, a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist, are unknown.
