A prespecified analysis found the kidney effect to be directionally consistent regardless of baseline SGLT2i use, with no significant treatment-by-subgroup interaction, although only a small minority of participants were taking an SGLT2i at entry, so the combination subgroup was underpowered and does not by itself establish additive benefit
To minimize potential unmeasured confounding caused by a lack of data regarding patients body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, and frailty, we also measured the receipt of bariatric surgery (as a proxy for a person having BMI 35 kg/m 2 in a Taiwanese setting), diabetes complications severity index (DCSI), numbers of HbA1c and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) tests, and hospital admissions as surrogate indicators
Challenges of insulin therapy include weight gain, the need for education and titration for optimal efficacy, risk of hypoglycaemia, the need for regular glucose monitoring, and cost
As a scientist, its exciting to conduct research at this scaleusing millions of real-world data points to uncover measurable patterns and actionable insights
On tough days, focus on the easiest-to-tolerate options (cold diluted whey, protein balls, frozen protein)
