An Introduction to Diabetes
Diabetes is an enormous health burden worldwide, and the current epidemic of type 2 diabetes is of paramount concern. The most important recent advances in the management of type 1 diabetes have been immunotherapies, designed to delay disease onset and the development of fully automated artificial pancreas systems that integrate blood glucose monitoring and insulin delivery. In type 2 diabetes, the widespread use of DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors have facilitated optimal glycaemic control without increased risk of hypoglycaemia and weight gain. Emerging data from cardiovascular outcome trials have shown that these agents can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in high-risk individuals.
