I'm going to talk about the  new guidelines  from the American College of Physicians regarding the treatment of adults with  type 2 diabetes . They published three basic articles around this topic. First was the clinical guideline, which I'm going to speak most about. Second was a  systematic review and network meta-analysis , which is basically the background from which the guidelines came. The third was a  cost-effectiveness analysis , which also had something to do with the final guidelines as well but isn't my particular strength when it comes to reviewing.  In terms of their meta-analysis, they basically included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of a year or more, with 500 or more adult patients, which came to 130 publications. They looked at sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors,  glucagon -like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, insulin, and the dual glucose-dependent insuli...

NEW ORLEANS — Medications in development would preserve muscle mass and augment fat loss when used in combination with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists taken for weight loss. As drugs such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and the dual agonist glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 tirzepatide (Zepbound) are producing  unprecedented degrees  of weight loss in increasing numbers of people, concern has arisen about the proportion of the lost weight, approximately 30%-50%, that is beneficial lean body mass vs fat mass. While some loss of  muscle mass  is expected with any rapid overall weight loss, it's not clear what long-term effect that may have on  physical function , bone density, and longevity, particularly in  older adults  with sarcopenic obesity who are at risk for muscle atrophy and frailty. Several drugs in various stages of development are aimed at preserving or building muscle mass and boosting fat loss wh...

STOCKHOLM —  Semaglutide , a  glucagon -like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, has shown significant benefits in preventing major kidney disease, cardiovascular events, as well as mortality in patients with  chronic kidney disease  (CKD) and  type 2 diabetes  in the landmark FLOW trial. "This is the first trial that's specifically asked the question of whether this class of drugs — GLP-1 receptor agonists — protects the kidney and prevents major kidney outcomes, and the results clearly showed that that's the case," lead author Vlado Perkovic, MBBS, PhD, dean of medicine and health and scientia professor at UNSW Sydney, Australia, told  Medscape Medical News . Based on the results, "we anticipate that regulatory agencies and guidelines would incorporate this into the label for the drug and into all guidelines as the recommended care for people with diabetic kidney disease," he said. As reiterated by several speakers during the full session...

May 20, 2024 – Lauren Rogers, a 23-year-old content creator, knew that her vaping was making the dizziness associated with her  POTS  diagnosis worse. But she couldn’t stop. “I was so addicted,” she said. After seeing videos online of former vape users sharing the benefits of being  nicotine-free , Rogers tried it herself. She was successful at first, but after a hard day, she relapsed and took up  cigarettes . Kicking addictions like vaping can feel impossible for the estimated 11 million U.S. adults who do it. But a drug that has historically been used to help people stop smoking cigarettes could serve as a beacon of hope for those hoping to quit vaping. Cytisinicline, a plant-based alkaloid, is similar in structure to nicotine and interacts with  nicotine receptors  in the brain, helping to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with vaping. If approved, the drug could become the first FDA-authorized treatment for vaping. Study Resu...

May 23, 2024 – More people in the U.S. now use marijuana nearly every day than the number of people who use alcohol daily or most days of the week.  In a new analysis published in the journal  Addiction,  researcher Jonathan Caulkins, PhD, a cannabis policy researcher and professor at Carnegie Mellon University ,  analyzed  survey data stretching back to 1979, which was the first time marijuana use was included in what is now called the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Daily or near-daily reported use of marijuana and alcohol have both increased in the past 30 years, but the increase has been much sharper among marijuana users. In 2022, 17.7 million people reported using marijuana anywhere from 25 to 30 days per month, compared to just 900,000 daily or near daily users in 1992. In contrast, 14.7 million people reported daily or near daily alcohol use, compared to 8.9 million using at that frequency in 1992.  ABOUT  TRANSCRIPT The Truth About Med...

SAN FRANCISCO — An estimated  two out of five  adult women in the United States have obesity, and given the potential challenges of losing pregnancy weight postpartum or staving off the weight gain associated with menopause, women are likely to be receptive toward weight management help from their Ob/Gyns. A whole new armamentarium of anti-obesity medications has become available in the past decade, providing physicians and patients with more treatment options. Ob/Gyns are therefore well-poised to offer counseling and treatment for obesity management for their patients, Johanna G. Finkle, MD, clinical assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and a weight management specialist at the University of Kansas Health System, told attendees at the annual clinical and scientific meeting of the  American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) 2024 Annual Meeting . Dr Finkle provided an extensive overview of what Ob/Gyns need to know if they are intere...

In this process, GLP-1 Satiety Support Drops can play a crucial role by supporting the feeling of fullness and reducing appetite. What is the GLP-1 hormone?

In a 7 to 4 vote, an advisory panel to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that the potential benefits of the investigational once-weekly basal insulin analog icodec (Novo Nordisk) don't outweigh the increased risk for  hypoglycemia  in people with  type 1 diabetes .  The May 24 meeting of the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee was convened specifically to advise the FDA of the benefits versus risks of icodec in people with type 1 diabetes based on the results of ONWARDS-6, one of Novo Nordisk's  randomized clinical trials  of icodec.  Five other  ONWARDS trials  were conducted in people with  type 2 diabetes . The FDA hasn't publicly raised concerns about efficacy and safety seen in any of those trials.  In the phase 3a ONWARDS-6, in which 290 patients were randomized to icodec and 292 patients to once-daily degludec (Tresiba), icodec was noninferior in improving  A1c  at 26...
