Mashup Score: 8Sodium–glucose co-transporter inhibitors—who would have guessed? - 13 day(s) ago
“Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future”; whether it is the Nobel laureate Niels Bohr or others who have spoken on this matter, this is definitely true and a demanding reality in medical research.1 For the pharmaceutical industry, predicting the effectiveness of drugs is a major concern, and finding a blockbuster drug is challenging but highly warranted. Few people had predicted the broad effects of the sodium–glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitor class when initially developing a diabetes drug that increased glucose excretion in urine.

Mashup Score: 2More options for young children with type 1 diabetes - 13 day(s) ago
Hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery systems are transforming the management of type 1 diabetes. Young children with type 1 diabetes are arguably the most challenging age group to manage, due to inconsistent food intake, unpredictable activity, and inability to reliably communicate symptoms of hypoglycaemia. The management burden on carers is substantial, with many parents of young children with type 1 diabetes not able to work due to their caregiver commitments. Among all age groups, young children also have the highest variability in day-to-day insulin requirements, highlighting the importance of automated insulin delivery systems in this population.

Mashup Score: 35Effect of sotagliflozin on major adverse cardiovascular events: a prespecified secondary analysis of the SCORED randomised trial - 13 day(s) ago
Sotagliflozin reduced MACE, with independent reductions in myocardial infarction and stroke, among patients with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and additional cardiovascular risk. The ischaemic benefit on both myocardial infarction and stroke has not been previously observed with other SGLT inhibitors and warrants investigation of combined SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibition as a possible underlying mechanism.

Mashup Score: 23Efficacy and safety of automated insulin delivery in children aged 2–6 years (LENNY): an open-label, multicentre, randomised, crossover trial - 13 day(s) ago
In children aged 2–6 years with type 1 diabetes, the TIR with the MiniMed 780G system in auto mode was non-inferior to that in manual+SBL mode. The significantly improved TIR and HbA1c in favour of auto mode could help prevent diabetes-related complications. Additionally, the observed safety profile in auto mode was acceptable.

Mashup Score: 3Once-Weekly Insulin Efsitora Achieves Comparable A1C Reduction to Daily Insulin Therapy | American Diabetes Association - 13 day(s) ago
Today, findings from the QWINT-1 study found once-weekly insulin efsitora alfa (efsitora) lowered blood glucose (blood sugar) levels as effectively as daily basal insulin in insulin-naïve type 2 diabetes.

Mashup Score: 0
CHICAGO — Adults with overweight or obesity who received once-weekly ecnoglutide, a novel GLP-1 receptor agonist, had superior and sustained reductions in body weight compared with placebo, according to data from the phase 3 SLIMMER study.Ecnoglutide (Sciwind Biosciences) had a favorable safety profile and improved other key cardiometabolic risk factors, while also reducing liver fat

Mashup Score: 90
In 2023, consensus was reached that a diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)1 could be assigned if a person showed evidence of hepatic steatosis with no aetiological factors other than the presence of one metabolic syndrome trait (as defined by Alberti and colleagues2). Although non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (as the condition was previously referred to) has been considered a multisystem disease3 for the past decade, the new nomenclature and diagnostic criteria focus attention on metabolic dysfunction, which is a welcome step forward.
