Delighted to contribute to this very important series on multiple cardio-metabolic long-term conditions, led by Kamlesh Khunti
The co-occurrence of linked conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease, represent a growing global health challenge. But clinical care and research often remain siloed.
A Lancet Series aims to inform a more integrated response. Read more: spkl.io/601771Pa3 #ADA2026

Using population data from 4 countries, this study shows younger people with diabetes have ↑ obesity but more favourable renal markers, while blood glucose peaks in mid-life, highlighting complex #age-related risk patterns. #DiabetesComplications #T2D link.springer.com/article/10…

Great work by the @Devicollab team with @drpunith highlighting high rates of hypoglycaemia in hospital associated. Severe hypoglycaemia associated with increased mortality @IHSGonline @Ahmed742Iqbal @OGMustafa.

Such important work. Really encouraging to see robust evidence supporting CGM in people with type 2 diabetes on basal insulin. Particularly relevant for older adults where the risk of hypoglycaemia is high and often under recognised.
The FreeDM2 UK randomised controlled trial results, presented @DiabetesUK last week, have been published in @TheLancetEndo

Falls are common in older people, and fall related injuries are a substantial cause of morbidity and mortality.

Excited to see this review published in Diabetologia alongside @docmaltese. Hope this draws attention to a growing challenge of frailty in type 1 diabetes.

The path to frailty may begins decades before old age, through metabolic health, muscle loss, inactivity and chronic conditions.
#Frailty
We’re learning that frailty can quietly arrive decades before old age, with some people in their 30s or 40s unknowingly in a pre-frail state. There are surprising ways to stay strong – and it’s not all about weight training newscientist.com/article/251…
