糖尿病在我国有着庞大的患者群体基数，糖尿病人群发生心血管疾病的风险约为非糖尿病人群的2.5 倍、心血管死亡风险为非糖尿病人群的2.1倍。目前糖尿病无法治愈，药物对于血糖控制至关重要，规 范药物治疗的同时，也要注意高血脂、高血压、肥胖、吸烟等危险因素的管控。业界多位专家曾在多个 公开场合强调，糖尿病需要综合管理。 但是，在糖尿病治疗过程中，"糖尿病可以治愈、打胰岛素会上瘾、血糖控制达标后就可以停药"等误 区，也让不少患者走了弯路。此外，一些患者轻信市面上虚假、夸大宣传降糖功效的产品，为糖尿病治 疗带来了挑战。针对误区以及如何管理糖尿病，北京大学人民医院内分泌科主任医师蔡晓凌、中医科主 治医师孟玉凤带来了专业意见。 糖尿病治疗五大误区 误区一：药物治疗会形成依赖 经常会有患者问到这个问题。如果患者糖化血红蛋白超过7%，临床医生会推荐在生活方式干预的基础 上使用口服药。需要强调的是，在糖尿病药物治疗上，没有"药物依赖"的概念。蔡晓凌解释，通过生活 方式干预加药物治疗使血糖达标，并不是药物依赖的表现，只是说患者可以持续用药，把血糖控制在相 对稳定的状态，预防未来糖尿病的急性并发症和慢性并发症，所以它并不是药物依赖的效 ...

Core Viewpoint - Poor glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes can lead to a significant reduction in adult height, with potential losses of 2 to 3 centimeters, particularly affecting boys during their growth spurts [5][8][10]. Group 1: Impact of Poor Glycemic Control - A nationwide cohort study from Sweden indicates that children with poor blood sugar control may experience a height reduction of 2 to 3 centimeters in adulthood [5][8]. - The study highlights that for every 1% increase in HbA1c levels, children's final height decreases by 0.3 centimeters, especially during puberty when growth hormone secretion is disrupted [6][10]. Group 2: Gender Differences in Height Impact - Male patients with poor glycemic control (HbA1c > 9.0%) experience an average height reduction of 2.91 centimeters, while female patients see a reduction of 1.83 centimeters [10]. - The timing of diabetes onset plays a crucial role; boys are affected regardless of when they develop diabetes, while girls primarily face height loss if diagnosed before puberty [12][14]. Group 3: Recommendations for Height Preservation - Early intervention is critical; establishing a strict blood sugar monitoring system from diagnosis is essential, particularly during the peak growth period of puberty [14][15]. - A balanced diet that reduces high-sugar and high-fat foods while increasing fiber, quality protein, and vitamins is recommended to stabilize blood sugar levels [16]. - Regular aerobic exercise can enhance insulin sensitivity and aid in blood sugar control [17]. - Psychological support is important, as chronic illness can lead to emotional stress; parents should monitor their children's emotional well-being and seek professional help if necessary [18].

Core Viewpoint - The latest research indicates that GLP-1 receptor agonists, used for treating type 2 diabetes, may be superior to metformin in preventing dementia, potentially influencing future treatment guidelines to prioritize drugs with both glycemic control and neuroprotective effects [2][4][6]. Group 1: Research Findings - The study analyzed anonymous electronic health records from 2004 to 2024, involving 87,229 patients each on GLP-1 receptor agonists and metformin, with an average age of 58 years, all having taken the medication for at least six months [4]. - Results showed that while both drug classes had similar effects on vascular dementia, GLP-1 receptor agonists had a lower overall dementia diagnosis rate: approximately 2.5% (2,130 individuals) in the GLP-1 group versus nearly 5% (4,215 individuals) in the metformin group, indicating a relative risk reduction of about 10% [4][6]. - Specifically, the risk of Alzheimer's disease was reduced by 12% and the risk of non-vascular dementia was reduced by 25% among GLP-1 users [4][6]. Group 2: Demographic Insights - The protective effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists were consistent across all age groups but were most pronounced in individuals over 60, women, and white patients [6]. - The mortality rate during the study was about 5% for GLP-1 users compared to nearly 9% for metformin users [6]. Group 3: Mechanisms of Action - The neuroprotective effects of these drugs may stem from various mechanisms, including reducing neuroinflammation, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving cerebral vascular function. GLP-1 receptor agonists can cross the blood-brain barrier, directly affecting the central nervous system, unlike metformin, whose effects are primarily systemic [6][8]. - The study emphasizes the complexity of vascular dementia's pathogenesis, which includes small vessel disease and white matter lesions, making treatment through metabolic or neurodegenerative pathways challenging [8]. Group 4: Implications for Treatment - The findings suggest that GLP-1 receptor agonists could become a first-line treatment option for type 2 diabetes, considering the significant societal, familial, and economic burdens associated with diabetes-related dementia [8][9]. - The research indicates a potential paradigm shift in diabetes treatment, focusing more on preventing cognitive complications [8][9]. Group 5: Additional Research - A separate study found that semaglutide could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 40-70% among older patients with type 2 diabetes and other comorbidities [12][18]. - The study utilized a large cohort of 1,094,761 new users of anti-diabetic medications, with semaglutide users showing significantly lower rates of Alzheimer's diagnosis compared to those on other diabetes medications [12][14]. Group 6: Limitations and Future Directions - The study acknowledges limitations, including its observational design, which may not account for overdiagnosis, underdiagnosis, or unmeasured confounding factors [22]. - Further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms by which semaglutide reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease [21][22].
