These key sessions presented at the EASD 2025, highlight the importance of exercise timing and CGM monitoring in pregnant women and the predictors of adverse outcomes in gestational diabetes.

This key session presented at the EASD 2025, offers valuable guidance to the clinicians on the treatment strategies for young-onset T2D.

Researchers unveiled that Helicobacter pylori infection raised the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by 54% (RR 1.54) in a meta-analysis of 8 studies. The overall event rate was 41%, with variation across populations. The findings suggest H. pylori may drive AAA development and point to a potential target for prevention in at-risk adults.

The presence of cerebral artery occlusion did not raise the incidence of recurrent ischemic stroke in 2,328 adults who had an embolic stroke of unknown origin. Over 1.31 years, recurrence rates were similar between individuals with and without occlusion (6.8% vs. 7.0%; aHR 1.09). Anticoagulation had little benefit based on occlusion status, emphasizing occlusion alone should not guide secondary prevention decisions.

Magnesium supplementation (82.3-637 mg) lowered systolic BP by 2.8 mm Hg and diastolic BP by 2.1 mm Hg compared to placebo, according to a large-scale meta-analysis. Reductions were pronounced in hypertensive patients on BP medications (systolic BP: −7.68 mm Hg; diastolic BP: −2.96 mm Hg) and in those with low magnesium (−5.97 mm Hg; −4.75 mm Hg). No significant effect was seen in normotensive individuals.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients had a markedly higher long-term risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, HR 1.68), including ulcerative colitis (UC, HR 1.60) and Crohn’s disease (CD, HR 2.04) versus non-IBS individuals. Risk persists beyond 10 y (HR 1.55). Cross-sectional analysis showed higher odds of IBD (OR 2.40), UC (2.18), and CD (3.15), with diarrhea-predominant IBS carrying the greatest risk (3.72).
