A case report of Maturity Onset Diabetes of the young type 3 in a young female and her mother. Implications of genetic diagnosis. (ESPE-ESE 2025) - "She was initially commenced on a long-acting insulin (degludec) and placed on a continues glucose monitor (CGM)...Treatment changed to gliclazide 30mg by mouth once daily and Three months after HbA1c was 6.7%...She was placed on different regimens without improvement most recently she was on metformin plus empagliflozin (5/1000mg daily) and semaglutide (1mg per week)...If a case is suspicious a genetic test is guaranteed as monogenic diabetes has different therapeutic approach. For our patient further genetic evaluation is necessary considering her mother results."

Su8ccessful treatment of 138000 patients with multimodal drug approach (ESPE-ESE 2025) - "In eight years of study, hundred and thirty eight thousands patients received Sitagliptin 100mg at noon, Glucophage 500mg and Empagliflozin 12.5mg BID, slow release Gliclazide 60mg TID...Two weeks later addition of Metronidazole, Bismuth and Doxycycline for ten days suppressed the gut diabetogenic flora... Ninety-four and 87% attained HBA1C under 6.5 and 6 within 3 to six months. These values remained for a mean of 24 months (range 6-78). At least 23% i.e. 14490 patients could discontinue their medication with a relapse rate of 32%."

A Very Rare Case of MODY 12: Inactivating ABCC8 Mutation Causing Sulfonylurea-Resistant Diabetes (ESPE-ESE 2025) - "Initially treated with gliclazide and metformin, gliclazide was discontinued due to lack of clinical response, and replaced with metformin/empagliflozin combination therapy...This case highlights the phenotypic heterogeneity of ABCC8- MODY, underscoring the importance of genetic testing in young patients with atypical diabetes presentations. It should inform future research into the precise pathophysiological mechanisms linking inactivating ABCC8 mutations to diabetes and their variable treatment responses."

Clinical Challenge: Managing Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis in a Post-Whipple Procedure Patient on SGLT-2 Inhibitors and GLP-1 Agonist (ATS 2025) - "A thorough review of her medications revealed that she was on metformin/empagliflozin (SGLT-2 inhibitor) and Ozempic (a GLP-1 agonist) at home, raising suspicion of euDKA. Early recognition and prompt treatment with IV fluids, including D5W and insulin GGT, are crucial to prevent complications, including hypoglycemia and cerebral edema. Close monitoring of blood glucose, electrolytes, and acid-base status is needed to optimize therapy."

GLUCOSE MANAGEMENT AFTER GASTRECTOMY: INSIGHTS FROM CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING (ATTD 2025) - "Case 2: a 73 -year-old female with a history of total gastrectomy for gastric cancer 6 years ago and type 2 diabetes for 20 years, treated with vildagliptin, metformin, empagliflozin and gliclazide 30mg OD was evaluated for recurrent hypoglycemia. In case 2, prolonged postprandial glycemic excursions were accompanied by nocturnal hypoglycemia (Figure 3), elevated CV and increased Time Above Range (TAR) (Figure 4). In case 3, CGM was remarkable for postprandial hyperglycemia, late postprandial and nocturnal hypoglycemia (Figure 5) and increased CV, TBR and TAR (Figure 6).Conclusions CGM can effectively detect hypoglycemia and glucose fluctuations following gastrectomy in patients with and without diabetes."

EUGLYCEMIC KETOACIDOSIS IN A PATIENT USING ALPELISIB, A NOVEL BREAST CANCER DRUG (ATTD 2025) - "Carbohydrate restriction, metformin, empagliflozin, pioglitazone, and temporary alpelisib cessation eventually resulted in euglycemia. Two months after starting alpelisib, and concommittant glucose lowering treatment, the patient developed euglycemic ketoacidosis – presenting as nausea and vomiting with a fasting glucose level <8.9 mmol/l.Results The patient recovered quickly after treatment with intravenous insulin and glucose infusion. Euglycemic ketoacidosis was attributed to the combination of SGLT2 inhibition and carbohydrate restriction.Conclusions This report highlights the need for caution when combining carbohydrate restriction and SGLT-2 inhibition in patients with diabetes treated with alpelisib."

Trajectories of Weight Changes After GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Initiation Among Patients With HIV (CROI 2025) - "Methods Using patient-level data from 82 sites in the U.S. National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), a nationally-sampled electronic health records repository, we conducted a retrospective analysis with all patients with HIV receiving GLP-1 RA (i.e., tirzepatide or semaglutide injection), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2, e.g.,empagliflozin), or metformin between January 1, 2018 and November 2, 2023, regardless of indication, with the metformin only group as the reference. Differences in weight change is less pronounced among men with HIV. Additional work needs to address the sex differences and underlying mechanisms of weight changes after using weight loss drugs among PWH."

Impact of SGLT2 Inhibitors on Preventing Heart Failure Hospitalizations in Colombian Patients With Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. (PubMed, Cureus) - "Analysis of left ventricular ejection fraction and first heart failure hospitalization in patients with T2DM treated with SGLT2 inhibitors reveals that empagliflozin is not only effective in glycemic control, weight management, and blood pressure reduction but also shows preventive potential against heart failure progression, even in patients without high cardiovascular risk. These findings, aligned with evidence from classical studies, suggest that empagliflozin should be considered in the early management of T2DM to reduce heart failure incidence and improve long-term outcomes."

Fabrication of a Redox-Reversible Near-Infrared Fluorogenic Probe for Ferroptosis Process Monitoring and the Early Diagnosis of Diabetes. (PubMed, Anal Chem) - "With the help of NIR-CSTe, we observed that HT-1080 cells, induced to undergo ferroptosis by erastin after being washed with PBS for 24 h and then treated with ferrostatin-1, showed a recovery in intracellular GSH levels. In contrast, treatment with deferoxamine did not yield similar results. Lastly, NIR-CSTe was also utilized for the early diagnosis and efficacy assessment of diabetes in relation to ONOO-/GSH redox balance, with results illustrating that the combined administration of metformin and empagliflozin was more effective than using either drug alone. Thus, this smart probe holds significant potential as an essential tool for clinical diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with redox homeostasis."
