Letter from the Editor
When our Publisher was doing CE programs to medical professionals, I remember he used to ask the question, “If there was a drug you could take once a day with no side effects that lowered your A1c, weight and blood pressure, how much would you be willing to pay?” Once they gave their answers, he would ask, “What if it was free?” It always seemed that everyone wanted to know the answer. He always responded with: 20 minutes of physical activity every day.
Although we say that, the question is: do we really believe it? This week our intern, Milaine Kenguim, PharmD Candidate 2022, South College School of Pharmacy, has an interesting article that proves Steve 100% correct. Check out the evidence for yourself.

Effective preventive strategies are needed to reduce cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally.
Data suggest that personalizing therapy may ease the burden of diabetic complications and prevent diabetes in the future generation.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist can reduce mortality and improve cardiovascular outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease, compared to dipeptidyl peptidase -4 inhibitor use.
There is strong evidence that circulating markers of systemic inflammation can predict long-term cognitive decline among older people with type 2 diabetes.
Data analysis suggests that weight changes during weight loss attempts may raise the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes.
In the SWEET project experience, a large cohort of patients was started on either an insulin pump, glucose sensor, or both to compare the HbA1c levels and weight gain while on their new therapy.
