With the increasing use of Checkpoint inhibitors in malignancies, practitioners should be aware of potentially serious complications including DKA and worsening glycemic control. Monitoring blood glucose and HbA1C levels before and after initiation of an immune checkpoint inhibitor should be discussed with patients prior to initiating therapy, in order to help monitor for potentially serious complications."

Preserved C-peptide Five Years After LADA Diagnosis: Focus On Prandial Glycaemic Control (ENDO 2025) - "She was started on sc Novorapid 3-6 units 15 mins premeal at 1 unit to 10-gram carbs, and PO linagliptin 5 mg om. Empagliflozin and metformin were discontinued...However, the use of DPP4-inhibitors has been found useful. CONCLUSION RCTs utilizing C-peptide and CGM to inform the best regimens of insulin and/or OHA treatment for C-peptide preservation in LADA patients are needed."

Navigating the Uncertainty: Atypical Diabetes Mellitus with Negative Biomarkers and Complex Management (ENDO 2025) - "He was discharged with insulin (Lantus 8 units and Novolog 2 units TID) and metformin (METF) 1000 mg BID.Two weeks later when he was evaluated in clinic he was only taking METF with small doses of short-acting insulin, as needed...Patient was trialed with acarbose with no effect on BG, then a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DDP-4) inhibitor... This case highlights the complexity involved in diagnosing and managing atypical forms of DM, including LADA, monogenic, and ketosis-prone DM. It is a spectrum, which may present with features of both type 1 and type 2 DM but lacks definitive biomarkers. Clinicians should consider the atypical forms in adult patients with new-onset diabetes and atypical presentations, especially when there is an absence of typical autoimmune markers."

Misclassification as T1DM led to years of ineffective insulin therapy. A comprehensive evaluation, including C-peptide, antibody testing, and genetic analysis, enabled correct diagnosis and optimized therapy."

Comparing Medicare Maximum Fair Prices with Other Drug Prices in Other Countries (ISPOR 2025) - " The comparison showed that the costs of the 10 drugs included in the Part D negotiations (Januvia, Fiasp/NovoLog/NovoRapid insulin products, Farxiga/Forxiga, Enbrel, Jardiance, Xarelto, Eliquis, Entresto, Stelara, and Imbruvica) were still lower in other countries even after price negotiations. Despite substantial discounts provided by Medicare price negotiations, US maximum fair prices remain generally higher than prices applied in other countries with high healthcare spending per capita. A limitation of the analysis is the approximation of monthly drug costs without utilization data."

Post-surgical biliary pancreatitis and GAD positive diabetes: a rare case of Type 3c DM with Autoimmune features (ESPE-ESE 2025) - "Pain control due to opioid intolerance (hallucinations on morphine and nausea with oxycodone) required PCA fentanyl 20 mcg bolus, paracetamol, and diclofenac supplement...The patient was managed with basal-bolus insulin (Lantus 28 units nightly, Novorapid 8-14 units per meal ) and sliding scale correction for blood glucose 10 mmol/L. The patient was discharged with a management plan of Creon 250,000 units and Humalog 12-20 units with a meal. Tresiba long-acting double strength 84 units at night... This is an atypical instance of type 3c diabetes accompanied by post-surgical pancreatitis, biliary blockage, and a rapid onset of GAD-positive diabetes. Acute pancreatitis has been known to elevate GAD-antibody levels, which can result in insulin-dependent diabetes. The presented case is rare as GAD antibody levels are typically lower in autoimmune diabetes (less than 100 U/ML)."

A complex case of Type 1 DM with history of recurrent severe disabling hypoglycaemia treated with renal and pancreatic transplant. (ESPE-ESE 2025) - "He was only on a few units of insulin Tresiba and novorapid to control his blood sugar. This case highlights the importance of involving multidisciplinary teams including diabetologist, DSN, dietitian, transplant surgeon, psychiatrists, and nephrologist for coordinated effort in complex cases of hypoglycemia especially in type 1 DM patients. Those Patients who are not suitable for insulin therapy, considering pancreatic/pancreatic and renal transplants can be life-changing, especially those who are young and fit for surgery."

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Teenagers – A Growing Concern for Armenia (ESPE-ESE 2025) - "Laboratory findings confirmed the diagnosis of T2DM: Fasting glucose: 28.7 mmol/L HbA1C: 11.0% C-peptide: 2.6 ng/mL Ketones: 3+ (indicating ketosis) Autoantibodies: Anti-GAD, IgG – 46.6 (>N) Anti-IA-2- 180.59 (>N) Anti-insulin, IgG – 10.13 (N) The patient’s treatment regimen included diet therapy (25 kcal/kg/day), insulin therapy (NovoRapid and Levemir), Metformin, and blood glucose monitoring 5-7 times per day. Early diagnosis and intervention, including lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment, are essential to managing T2DM in teenagers and preventing long-term complications. Given the increasing prevalence of the condition in this age group, it is critical to recognize the early signs and implement appropriate strategies to address this growing public health issue."

Novo Nordisk Set to Stop Supply of a Key Diabetic Drug, Indian Patients Urge WHO, Govt to Intervene (The Wire) - "As many as 10 advocacy groups of diabetes patients of India shot a letter to the World Health Organisation (WHO) on May 5, urging it to urgently consider taking steps. This comes in the wake of Novo Nordisk, a Danish pharma multinational, deciding to phase out a key diabetic drug. Novo Nordisk is going to stop production of ‘human insulin’ in pen forms. Only the current available stock will be available to patients in India, and worldwide where it is mostly used....Novo Nordisk is phasing out the pen form of human insulin in next six months. And herein lies the problems for the patients, especially T1 ones. They have to take insulin in injectable form only....Novo Nordisk is going to continue the vial form of insulin."

INFLUENCE OF DIETS DIFFERING IN MACRONUTRIENT COMPOSITION ON ENERGY METABOLISM DURING SUSTAINED, SUBMAXIMAL EXERCISE IN ADULTS WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES (ATTD 2025) - "This study profiled the metabolic responses to fasted submaximal cycling in adults with T1D following 7-days of adherence to diets differing in macronutrient composition.Methods In a randomised crossover design, 12 adults with T1D (n=4 female, age: 46±15 years, HbA1c: 55.9±7.8 mmol/mol) managed by non-automated insulin pump (n=9 Novorapid, n=3 Fiasp) consumed three diets over 7-days: HCLFLP (high carbohydrate (48%), low fat (33%), low protein (19%)), LCHFLP (low carbohydrate (19%), high fat (62%), low protein (19%)) and LCLFHP (low carbohydrate (19%), low fat (57%), high protein (24%)). Carbohydrate oxidation was greater in HCLFLP compared to LCHFLP (p=0.030), with concomitantly lower lipid oxidation (Table 1, p=0.030). Conclusions A 7-day low carbohydrate diet influenced fasted exercise metabolism with lower carbohydrate oxidation and circulating fatty acids despite similar glycaemic patterns in adults with T1D."
