Abstract BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Insulin therapies for Type 1 diabetes (T1D) have limitations, such as glucose fluctuations, hypoglycaemia, and weight gain. Only pramlintide is approved with insulin. However, its short half-life limits efficacy, requiring multiple daily injections and increasing hypoglycaemia risk. New strategies are needed to improve glycaemic control. Dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonists […]

Abstract BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) are severe diabetic complications. Collagen type VI (COL6) and III (COL3) have been associated with nerve function. We investigated if markers of COL6 formation (PRO-C6) and COL3 degradation (C3M) were associated with neuropathy in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS In a […]

Abstract Diabetic kidney disease is a worldwide epidemic, and therapies are incomplete. Clinical data suggest that improved renal outcomes by Na-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) are partly beyond their antihyperglycemic effects; however, the mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we investigated the effect of the SGLT2i dapagliflozin (DAPA) in the prevention of elevated -GlcNAcylation and tubular […]

Abstract OBJECTIVE Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular events (CVEs), and mortality than the general population. We hypothesized that two previously published biomarkers, namely PRO-C6, a biomarker of collagen type VI formation, and C3M, a biomarker of collagen type III degradation, may be associated with […]
