Abstract:
The year 2015 was punctuated by numerous events in diabetology. First, the ADA/EASD guidelines have been updated. The pharmacological panel for type 2 diabetes treatment saw the arrival of different new molecules. Two new basal insulins were also approved. Also, cardiovascular safety trials have been published regarding recent antidiabetic drugs. A new insulin pump than can be coupled with a glucosensor was released. Finally, a new unexpected complication of SGLT2 inhibitors treatment was reported, the euglycemic keto-acidosis.
