Gut microbiota and type 2 diabetes mellitus
Publication date: Available online 4 December 2016 Source:Endocrinología y Nutrición (English Edition) Author(s): Araceli Muñoz-Garach, Cristina Diaz-Perdigones, Francisco J. Tinahones In recent years, many studies have related gut microbiome to development of highly prevalent diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Obesity itself is associated to changes in the composition of gut microbiome, with a trend to an overgrowth of microorganisms more efficiently obtaining energy from diet. There are several mechanisms that relate microbiota to the onset of insulin resistance and diabetes, including changes in bowel...

Use of healthcare resources and costs associated to the start of treatment with injectable drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Conclusions Patients treated with GLP-1 RAs caused lower direct healthcare costs for the National Health System than patients treated with insulin. The results may be explained by greater treatment adherence and lower hypoglycemia rates in patients treated with GLP-1 RAs. Additional studies are needed to confirm these possibilities.
