Diabetic ketoacidosis after immune checkpoint inhibitor Avelumab therapy (EASD 2025) - "Serum C-peptide were ⋯⋯after glucagen test... This case reports a very rare but significant complication of immune checkpoint inhibitor Avelumab . However healthcare professionals should be aware of this adverse event. With the increasing use of checkpoint inhibitors in cancer management the incidence of this complication is likely to increase.Discussion around the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis should be routine in patients receiving anti-PD- L1 therapy."

Psychiatry and Obesity: Lifestyles Education Attitudes Nutrition (Le4AN) and Targeted Medication Use -- an Integrated Model (APA 2025) - "The continued development of weight loss drugs, most recently and significantly the Glucagen-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, have given the program an additional tool for patients who fall in the morbidly obese range, who may have life-threatening health conditions, and/or significant restrictions on exercise...Objective Four: Describe when a GLP-1 agonist would be considered in a comprehensive weight loss approach. Objective Five: List most common side effects of GLP-1 agonists and mitigation measures.; Objective One: Explain foundational LE4AN strategies for approaching weight loss in patients.; Objective Two: Summarize at least one behavioral approach and one cognitive approach they could use for patients with weight loss goals.; Objective Three: Discuss current FDA-approved medications for weight loss.; Objective Four: Describe when a GLP-1 agonist would be considered in a comprehensive weight loss approach.; Objective Five: List most common side effects of GLP-1..."

LOW-DOSE GLUCAGON AFTER FASTED EXERCISE FOLLOWING LOW VS. HIGH CARBOHYDRATE DIETS – A THREE-ARM RANDOMIZED CROSSOVER STUDY (ATTD 2025) - "On day eight of each intervention period, participants performed 45 minutes of fasted cycling (60% of V̇O2peak) followed by 90 minutes of rest then a subcutaneous injection of 150 micrograms of native glucagon (GlucaGen®, Novo Nordisk)...1). There were no significant differences in incremental peak values or incremental area under the glucose curve in the 2-hour observation period following glucagon administration.Conclusions The glycemic responses to a low dose of glucagon administered subcutaneously after fasted exercise were not significantly affected by the diet composition in the preceding seven days."

Growth Hormone Deficiency in A Child with Known GM1 Gangliosidosis (ESPE 2024) - "The child has been monitored by the Pediatric Neurology Unit of the same hospital due to a genetic diagnosis of GM1 gangliosidosis type 2 for two years and treated with miglustat and a ketogenic diet.The child presented with microphallia (penile length=4.5cm <3rd percentile) and growth delay (Height :124cm , <3rd percentile) with an average growth rate of 2.4cm/year for the last two years concomitantly with insufficient body weight increase...The patient underwent two consecutive growth hormone stimulation tests, which were abnormal (peak GH in glucagen test = 2.89ng/ml and peak GH in L-Dopa test=4.59ng/ml)... We report the case of a boy with GM1 gangliosidosis and growth hormone deficiency. Endogenous metabolic disorders may affect growth both by direct effects on the GH/IGF-1 pathway and through renal and hepatic insufficiency. Our patient diagnosed with GM1 gangliosidosis and GH deficiency (GHD) had normal kidney and liver function."

Use of glucagon in severe hypoglycemia is scarce in most countries, and has not been expanded by new ready-to-use glucagons. (PubMed, Diabetol Metab Syndr) - "The aims of this study were to evaluate the use of glucagon in persons with type 1 diabetes in several countries, and to investigate if the availability of new ready-to-use glucagons (Baqsimi, Gvoke, Zegalogue, years 2019 to 2021) has expanded the overall use of glucagon...The use of glucagon (any type) remains low, approximately 1/10 of persons with type 1 diabetes. We conclude that use of glucagon is scarce in most countries, and so far has not been expanded by new ready-to-use glucagons such as the ones considered in this study."
