Controversial metformin recommendations in new ESC guidance

The latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines on diabetes, pre-diabetes and cardiovascular diseases recognise that considerable emerging evidence should have implications for daily clinical practice. Controversially, metformin is no longer recommended as first-line treatment in type 2 diabetes. Suggestions for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, advice on lifestyle intervention, new lipid and blood pressure targets, a novel approach to glucose-lowering treatment, diabetes treatment aimed at reducing heart failure risk, and cardiovascular risk management are included. The guidance has been developed in collaboration with the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and updates recommendations made in 2013.

WHO classification recognises changes in the diabetes landscape

The World Health Organization has updated its 1999 classification of diabetes. The new guidance distinguishes between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as recommending conventional diagnostic methods. It also recognises hybrid forms of diabetes; with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults becoming slowly evolving immune-mediated diabetes of adults; and ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes being recognised as a separate entity. Monogenic diabetes is now classified based on the mutated gene and the clinical syndrome. The guidance also draws attention to hyperglycaemia first detected during pregnancy and suggests clinicians should distinguish between type 1 or 2 diabetes first diagnosed during pregnancy and gestational diabetes.
