Ildiko Lingvay, MD, MPH

New guidelines and key studies in glycemic control from the 2022 annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) are highlighted by Dr Ildiko Lingvay, from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.  

Dr Lingvay opens by reporting on forthcoming guidelines by the ADA in joint partnership with the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) on the treatment of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. This consensus paper, she says, will endorse a holistic, person-centered approach to managing type 2 diabetes. The finalized paper will be presented at the EASD annual meeting in Stockholm in September 2022. Next, Dr Lingvay discusses the yearly update to the ADA Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes, which include the benefits of finerenone, the benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors on heart failure and renal outcomes, and the endorsement of the updated eGFR calculator, which omits patient race from calculations.   

She then looks at the SURMOUNT-1 study, a phase 3 trial investigating tirzepatide, a dual GLP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, for the treatment of obesity. In addition to a demonstration of substantial weight loss, the study indicated that tirzepatide provided impressive glucose-lowering benefit. 

Dr Lingvay also examines post hoc data from the STEP 1 and 4 trials showing that semaglutide, compared with placebo, reduced the risk for type 2 diabetes in patients with obesity by approximately 60%, regardless of their baseline glycemic status.  

Finally, Dr Lingvay discusses a novel triple GIP, GLP-1, and glucagon receptor agonist called LY3437943, currently in phase 1 trials, which demonstrated promising glycemic and body weight lowering efficacy after a short 12-week trial.
