TL;DR: This 2002 technical review provides principles and recommendations classified according to the level of evidence available, and grades nutrition principles into four categories based on the available evidence: those with strong supporting evidence, those with some supporting evidence), those with limited supporting evidence and those based on expert consensus.

TL;DR: Inhaled insulin appears to be effective, well tolerated, and well accepted in patients with type 2 diabetes and provides glycemic control comparable to a conventional subcutaneous regimen.

TL;DR: Acarbose, an α-glucosidase inhibitor that lowers postprandial blood glucose, has been shown to reduce T2DM risk by 25%, and possibly cardiovascular risk in impaired glucose tolerance subjects without cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Among patients with diabetes and stable ischemic heart disease, higher SYNTAX scores predict higher rates of major cardiovascular events and were associated with more favorable outcomes of revascularization compared with medical therapy among patients suitable for CABG.

TL;DR: There may be sex differences in response to drug therapies used to treat diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and established coronary artery disease enrolled into the BARI 2D trial.
