Statins and new-onset diabetes mellitus and diabetic complications: a retrospective cohort study of US healthy adults.
The authors studied the long-term relationship between statin use and new-onset diabetes among Tricare beneficiaries. They found that diabetes, diabetic complications, and overweight/obesity were more commonly diagnosed among statin-users than similar nonusers in a healthy cohort of adults, demonstrating that short-term clinical trials might not fully describe the risk/benefit of long-term statin use for primary prevention.

Risk of diabetes among patients receiving primary androgen deprivation therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer.
The researchers sought to determine if primary androgen deprivation therapy increases the risk of diabetes and to determine the susceptibility factors. They found that primary androgen deprivation therapy may increase diabetes risk by 60% and recommended using caution when managing localized prostate cancer. They further recommended routine screening and lifestyle interventions to reduce the risk of diabetes in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy.

Association of adverse pregnancy outcomes with glyburide vs insulin in women with gestational diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women receiving glyburide compared with insulin for the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a US population-based cohort. It found an association between glyburide (compared with insulin) and elevated risk of NICU admission, neonatal hypoglycemia, respiratory distress, birth injury, and large for gestational age in women with GDM.
