In a nutshell This study compared the effectiveness of adding sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors versus metformin (Glucophage) to insulin therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study concluded that SGLT inhibitors improved blood glucose control and weight loss better than metformin in these patients. Some background The goal of T1D...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study examined if low-glycemic index (GI) diets can help improve symptoms of diabetes and pre-diabetes. This study concluded that low-GI diets might help reduce blood sugar levels and body weight in these patients. Some background Patients with pre-diabetes, T1D, or T2D have difficulty controlling their blood glucose levels. The...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This trial is examining the effectiveness and safety of single-hormone closed-loop (SHCL) compared with sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT) in controlling glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The main outcome to be measured will be the percentage of time that glucose levels are between 3.9 and 10...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This trial is examining the effectiveness of alternating doses of SAR341402 and insulin aspart (Novolog) compared with a continuous dose of insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The main outcomes to be measured will be the similarity between the two drugs and side effects. This trial is...

In a nutshell The aim of this study was to assess continuous blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) taking dapagliflozin as an add-on to insulin treatment. The main finding of the study was that patients treated with dapagliflozin had improved average blood glucose levels and less variation in blood glucose levels. Some background...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This trial is examining the safety and effectiveness of relamorelin on diabetic gastroparesis (slowed digestion in diabetic patients). The main outcome to be measured will be the percentage of patients with gastroparesis symptoms. The details High blood glucose levels in diabetes can cause nerves to not work properly. When the nerve...

In a nutshell The aim of the study was to look at the relationship between insulin dose and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The main finding of the study was that higher insulin doses are associated with CVD risk factors but not with increased CVD events. Some background Patients with T1D have an increased risk of CVD...
