Sequel Med Tech reported positive pivotal trial results for its twiist Automated Insulin Delivery System in adults with type 2 diabetes. The 13-week study showed meaningful improvements in HbA1c and time in range with no severe hypoglycemia events. Separately, Sequel and Senseonics launched the twiist system integrated with Eversense 365 CGM across the U.S.
Tandem Diabetes Care secured expanded CE mark approval in Europe for its Control-IQ automated insulin delivery systems, covering adults with type 2 diabetes and type 1 diabetes during pregnancy. The approvals follow FDA clearance in the US and are supported by clinical trial data showing improved glucose control.
NICE updates type 2 diabetes guidance in England, recommending earlier use of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists. Separately, a study finds SGLT2 inhibitors improve survival in Takotsubo syndrome patients.
C-peptide is described as a key biomarker for beta cell function in type 1 diabetes and a potential surrogate endpoint for drug approval. Current trial endpoints remain difficult for disease-modifying therapies.
A UK trial found continuous glucose monitoring improved HbA1c and time in range for adults with type 2 diabetes using basal insulin. Dexcom is also awaiting a Medicare decision on broader CGM coverage for non-insulin users.
A multicenter retrospective cohort study of 17 patients with type 2 diabetes and end-stage renal disease found injectable semaglutide was associated with descriptive changes in glycemic control and body weight. No cardiovascular deaths, nonfatal myocardial infarctions, or nonfatal strokes were observed during follow-up.
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals presented long-term data showing plozasiran achieved 83% median triglyceride reduction in severe hypertriglyceridemia patients with no acute pancreatitis events over two years. The RNA interference therapy demonstrated durable improvements in atherogenic lipoproteins and consistent safety profile. The company plans to complete Phase 3 studies by mid-2026 and submit for regulatory approval.
Oral semaglutide demonstrated significant improvements in multiple cardiometabolic risk factors in adults with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk. The SOUL trial analysis showed reductions in systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1c, and body weight compared to placebo. These benefits were observed as early as 13 weeks and contributed to a 14% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events.
New clinical evidence demonstrates that combining SGLT2 inhibitors with GLP-1 receptor agonists provides additive benefits for type 2 diabetes patients, while machine learning tools help personalize therapy selection.
Recent research explores outcomes when patients stop GLP-1 medications and finds pharmacist-led interventions can help older adults avoid dangerous low blood sugar episodes.
