Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Clinical expert consensus

Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. β-cell function can be clinically assessed using blood glucose-based methods or methods combining blood glucose and endogenous insulin or C-peptide levels

  2. Weight loss and early and sustained euglycemia control could effectively protect islet β-cell function

  3. Newer drugs such as SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA could improve islet β-cell function, independent of glycemic control
