Objective. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with low-grade inflammation. The benefits of regular exercise for the DM are well established, whereas less is known about the impact of aerobic exercise on malondialdehyde (MDA) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the DM. Methods. We randomised 64 participants, who do not exercise regularly, without any diabetic chronic complications in parallel to 12 weeks of aerobic exercise (three times per week, n=31) and no exercise (control; n=33). Plasma levels of soluble TNF-α and MDA levels were measured before-after physical training programme and control group. Results. Sixty-four patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were analysed. When comparing the two groups of patients with age, gender, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, lipid profile, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI) and class of treatment for diabetes were not different between groups. While soluble TNF-α remained essentially unaffected by physical training, plasma concentrations of MDA markedly decreased (P<0.05); physical training also decreased body weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure (P<0.05). Conclusion. Exercise training favorably affected body weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure. A three-weekly, 12-week, aerobic-training programme, without a concomitant weight loss diet, was associated with significant decrease in MDA levels in type 2 diabetic individuals.

Abstract Introduction: Ertugliflozin (ERTU), a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, is approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aim: As a pre-specified sub-study of the Phase 3 VERTIS CV trial (NCT01986881), the efficacy and safety of ERTU were assessed in patients with T2DM and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) inadequately controlled with metformin and sulfonylurea (SU). Methods: Patients with T2DM, established ASCVD, and HbA1c 7.0–10.5% on stable metformin (≥1500 mg/day) and SU doses as defined per protocol were randomized to once-daily ERTU (5 mg or 15 mg) or placebo. The primary sub-study objectives were to assess the effect of ERTU on HbA1c compared with placebo and to evaluate safety and tolerability during 18-week follow-up. Key secondary endpoints included proportion of patients achieving HbA1c &lt;7%, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), body weight, and systolic blood pressure. Changes from baseline at Week 18 for continuous efficacy endpoints were assessed using a constrained longitudinal data analysis model. Results: Of the 8246 patients enrolled in the VERTIS CV trial, 330 patients were eligible for this sub-study (ERTU 5 mg, n=100; ERTU 15 mg, n=113; placebo, n=117). Patients had a mean (SD) age of 63.2 (8.4) years, T2DM duration 11.4 (7.4) years, estimated glomerular filtration rate 83.5 (17.8) mL/min/1.73 m2, and HbA1c 8.3% (1.0) (67.4 [10.6] mmol/mol). At Week 18, ERTU 5 mg and 15 mg were each associated with a significantly greater least squares mean (95% CI) HbA1c reduction from baseline versus placebo; the placebo-adjusted differences for ERTU 5 mg and 15 mg were –0.7% (–0.9, –0.4) and –0.8% (–1.0, –0.5), respectively (P&lt;0.001). A higher proportion of patients in each ERTU group achieved HbA1c &lt;7% relative to placebo (P&lt;0.001). ERTU significantly reduced FPG and body weight (P&lt;0.001, for each dose versus placebo), but not systolic blood pressure. Adverse events were reported in 48.0%, 54.9%, and 47.0% of patients in the ERTU 5 mg, 15 mg, and placebo groups, respectively. Genital mycotic infections were experienced by significantly higher proportions of male patients who received ERTU 5 mg and 15 mg (4.2% and 4.8%, respectively) versus placebo (0.0%; P≤0.05) and by a numerically, but not significantly, higher proportion of female patients who received ERTU 15 mg (10.3%) compared with placebo (3.8%) (P=0.36). The incidences of symptomatic hypoglycemia were 11.0% (5 mg), 12.4% (15 mg), and 7.7% (placebo), and of severe hypoglycemia 2.0% (5 mg), 1.8% (15 mg), and 0.9% (placebo). Conclusion: Among patients with T2DM and ASCVD, ERTU (5 mg and 15 mg) added to metformin and SU for 18 weeks improved glycemic control (HbA1c and FPG) and reduced body weight, and was generally well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the SGLT2 inhibitor class.

Aims/Introduction To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who initiated dapagliflozin in real-world practice in Taiwan. Materials and Methods In this multicenter retrospective study, adult patients with T2DM who initiated dapagliflozin after May 1st 2016 either as add-on or switch therapy were included. Changes in clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated at 3 and 6 months. Baseline factors associated with dapagliflozin response in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 1,960 patients were eligible. At 6 months, significant changes were observed: HbA1c by −0.73% (95% confidence interval [CI] −0.80, −0.67), body weight was -1.61 kg (95% CI −1.79, −1.42), and systolic/diastolic blood pressure by −3.6/−1.4 mmHg. Add-on dapagliflozin showed significantly greater HbA1c reduction (−0.82%) than switched therapy (−0.66%) (p = 0.002). The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% target increased from 6% at baseline to 19% at Month 6. Almost 80% of patients experienced at least 1% reduction in HbA1c, and 65% of patients showed both weight loss and reduction in HbA1c. Around 37% of patients had at least 3% weight loss. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated patients with higher baseline HbA1c and those who initiated dapagliflozin as add-on therapy were associated with a greater reduction in HbA1c. Conclusions In this real-world study with the highest patient number of Chinese population to date, the use of dapagliflozin was associated with significant improvement in glycemic control, body weight, and blood pressure in patients with T2DM. Initiating dapagliflozin as add-on therapy showed better glycemic control than as switch therapy.

ABSTRACT Background: Due to the high failure rate observed in the clinical treatment of morbid obesity an increase in bariatric surgery indications, as an alternative for the control of obesity and comorbidities, is noticeable. Aim: To evaluate the performance of type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and dyslipidemia in patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in late follow-up. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 59 patients included in the bariatric surgery program. Anthropometric (height and body weight) and laboratory (LDLc, HDLc, VLDLc, triglyceride -TG - and glucose) data were collected on pre- and postoperative stages, through medical records. Results: Among the patients, 86% were female aged 43±11, of whom 52% had attended high school. The average postoperative time was 7±3 years. During the postoperative period, there were decreases of weight and body mass index, respectively (133±06 kg vs 91±04 kg p<0.05 e 49±74 kg/m2 vs 33±79 kg/m2, p<0.05). In comparison to the preoperative stage, lower concentrations of glucose (101.00±26.99 vs 89,11±15.19, p=0.014), total cholesterol rates (179.00±37,95 vs 167.48±28,50, p=0.016), LDLc (104.30±33.12 vs 91.46±24.58, p=0.016), VLDLc (25.40±11,12 vs 15.68±7.40, p<0.01), and TG (143.35±86.35 vs 82.45±37.39, p<0.01) and higher concentrations of HDLc (43.53±8.23 vs 57.90±15.60, p<0.01) were identified in the postoperative stage. 40% of hypertensive patients were still undergoing high blood pressure treatment during the postoperative stage. There was remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia on 81% and 94% of the cases, respectively. Conclusion: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has proven itself to be an effective long term procedure, promoting weight loss, remission of DM2 and dyslipidemia.

Introduction: The increased risk of coronary artery disease in diabetics could be explained by the lipoprotein irregularities associated with diabetes mellitus. The primary aim of this study is to examine the role of apple vinegar and syrup in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: The interventional study included 500 participants (195 men and 305 women) with dyslipidemia and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus, aged 50-70 years, living in Sarajevo area. Patients were recruited from 5 outpatient diabetes counselling departments and treated with natural apple vinegar and syrup supplementation over a period of five weeks. The patients have been evaluated before treatment and 5 weeks after the treatment. During the study, dosage of drugs for diabetes or prediabetes was not changed.Results: After 5 weeks of supplementation with apple vinegar and syrup waist circumference (p=0.016), total cholesterol (p=0.01), low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (p=0.008) and triglycerides (p=0.019) were significantly reduced, as well as blood pressure (-14%). Study results show decrease of mean fasting blood levels of glucose, but statistically not significant (p=0.058). The body mass index also decreased insignificantly (p=0.089). The high density lipoprotein cholesterol level was not increased significantly after supplementation (p=0.26).Conclusion: According to our results, apple vinegar has important role in reduction of total cholesterol levels, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and waist circumference in patients with type 2 diabetes. Also, it has positive effect on blood pressure.

Aims. To study the dynamics of body weight, waist circumference, blood lipid and insulin demand in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) during first year of combined treatment with metformin and insulin analogues, compared with insulin analogue monotherapy. Materials and Methods. We examined 78 patients with T2DM on newly initiated insulin therapy, including 54 females and 24 males. Median age was 56 [51.0; 64.0] years, median disease duration ? 9 [6.8;14.0] years. Participants were subdivided in two groups. First group was comprised of 48 subjects (33 females and 15 males), who received monotherapy with insulin analogues (glargine, de- temir, biphasic Aspart 30 and Humalog Mix 25 or rapid-acting lispro and aspart). Second group included 30 patients (18 females and12 males), who were treated with combined therapy (insulin analogues plus metformin). We measured HbA1c, plasma lipid composition, BMI, waist circumference and insulin demand initially and after one year of follow-up. Results. We showed that combined therapy vs. insulin monotherapy allows better glycemic compensation while reducing insulin demand and lowering risks for weight gain. Conclusions. Combined insulin analogue plus metformin treatment delivers better metabolic control in patients with T2DM and is as- sociated with lower risks for body weight gain and increase in insulin demand against monotherapy with insulin analogues.

BACKGROUND Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of mortality due to its complications such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke and end stage renal disease (ESRD). Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter-2 inhibitors is a new class of oral hypoglycaemics which impart additional benefits primarily on heart and kidney. The most commonly used drugs in this class include Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin and Empagliflozin. However, these drugs are associated with certain adverse effects. This review aims to appraise the extra-glycaemic benefits and adverse effect profile of SGLT-2 inhibitors so as to minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Thorough literature search was made using search engines like PubMed, Cochrane library, Medline and Google scholar to retrieve articles pertaining to extra glycaemic benefits and adverse effects of SGLT2i. RESULTS Majority of studies like CANVAS, EMPA-REG and DECLARE-TIMI done on Canagliflozin, Empagliflozin and Dapagliflozin respectively have concluded that these drugs possess additional benefits like reduced risk of heart failure, positive effects on kidney functions, favourable effects on body weight, reduced levels of uric acid and reduction in blood pressure. However, these drugs are associated with certain adverse effects like increased risk of genital and urinary tract infection. CONCLUSIONS The extra-glycaemic benefits of SGLT2i on heart, kidney and other parameters like body weight, uric acid and blood pressure have been proven by a number of studies conducted over several years. Nevertheless, these drugs are associated with certain adverse effects like increased risk of genital and urinary tract infection which can be mitigated by maintaining hydration, perineal hygiene and educating the patient.
