VANCOUVER, B.C. – So far, just one of the newer diabetes drugs has been shown to cut cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Bernard Zinman, chairman of the meeting’s program committee, explained which one it is, and also shared other highlights from this year’s World Diabetes Congress.

In an interview at the meeting, Dr. Zinman offered new insights on beta-cell preservation, diabetes prevention, pancreas imaging, the microbiome, and the best combination therapies for early intervention.

“Diabetes is a very complex disease,” said Dr. Zinman, also the director of the diabetes center at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto and a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. “To imagine that there’s one therapy or one magic bullet” that’s going to take care of all the problems in diabetes, “is very naive.”
