§ Includes medications other than listed ATC for respective indications (diabetes, CV disease, obesity and hypothyroidism)
The most common concomitant medications for the treatment of diabetes among participants were metformin (78.6%) and SGLT2 inhibitors (21.4%). Of participants with available data, 78 (41.7%) were current or past smokers, 54 (50%) stated that their highest level of education was high school or equivalent and 60 (42.6%) were retired.
Most of the participants had a physician in primary care ( n = 184; 98.4%) and 149 (79.7%) participants had a physician with previous experience with prescribing GLP-1RAs. Nearly all physicians prescribed a starting oral semaglutide dose of 3 mg. Oral semaglutide was primarily prescribed to improve glycaemic control and/or reduce body weight (Table 1 ).
Approximately two thirds of participants had a CV-related medical history and nearly three quarters of participants met an expanded definition of CV disease, including CKD, haemoglobinopathy, dyslipidaemia and microalbuminuria (Table 1 ).
There was a significant reduction from baseline to EOS in HbA 1c , assessed in 177 participants, as shown by an estimated mean (95% CI) change of − 0.88%-points (− 1.01 to − 0.75; P < 0.0001) or − 9.64 mmol/mol (− 11.05 to − 8.22; P < 0.0001; Fig. 2 A). The estimated mean decreases in HbA 1c occurred primarily within the first 28 weeks of treatment (Fig. 2 B).

Secondary and sensitivity analyses of the primary endpoint yielded comparable results. The secondary analysis of the primary endpoint revealed little difference between the ‘in-study’ and ‘on-treatment’ periods. The additional sensitivity analysis showed that the COVID-19-related amendment to extend visit 3 to outside the 34–44-week window had very little impact on the primary endpoint (Fig. S1 ).
Body weight decrease from baseline to EOS was assessed in 165 participants. Body weight significantly decreased, as shown by estimated mean (95% CI) relative and absolute changes of − 4.72% (− 5.58 to − 3.86; P < 0.0001) and − 4.62 kg (− 5.46 to − 3.79; P < 0.0001), respectively (Fig. 2 C). The percentage of participants who had a body weight reduction ≥ 10% from baseline to EOS was 13.7%.
Overall, 64.6% of participants had a HbA 1c < 7% by EOS, compared with 27.8% at baseline; among the 72.2% of participants with a baseline HbA 1c of ≥ 7%, over half achieved HbA 1c < 7% (Fig. 2 D). In addition, 28.5% and 22.9% of participants achieved the composite endpoints of a reduction in HbA 1c of ≥ 1%-point with body weight reduction of ≥ 3% and ≥ 5% by EOS, respectively (Fig. 2 D). Furthermore, the estimated mean change from baseline in waist circumference (cm) was − 4.15 (SD [95% CI], 0.64 [− 5.44 to − 2.87]; P < 0.0001).
Participants reported a significant increase in their treatment satisfaction with oral semaglutide compared with treatment before initiating oral semaglutide (Fig. 3 A, B). The dosing conditions questionnaire revealed that most participants found oral semaglutide very easy to consume (Fig. 3 C); further details on dosing conditions are in Table S1 .
Participant-reported satisfaction and ease of treatment to consume: A absolute treatment satisfaction measured with DTSQs, B relative treatment satisfaction measured by DTSQc, and C ease of consumption for oral semaglutide, measured by the dosing conditions questionnaire.

Overall, when judged against their reason for initiating oral semaglutide (Table 1 ), physicians considered treatment a clinical success in 130 (73.9%) cases. More specifically, physicians reported that glycaemic control was improved in 72.9% of participants, body weight was reduced in 71.6% of participants and convenience was achieved for 60.0% of participants. In addition, there were no issues with hypoglycaemia in 95.7% of participants while they were receiving oral semaglutide. Almost half (46.2%) of participants achieved clinical success in relation to addressing CV risk as reported by their physicians and 40.2% in relation to simplifying the current treatment regimen for participants (Table S2 ).
In the dosing conditions questionnaire, 60.0% of participants who responded rated oral semaglutide as 6 on the easy to consume scale (0 being very difficult and 6 being very easy) and 86.4% of participants gave a 4, 5 or 6 for this response (Table S1 ).
At EOS, among 141 participants still taking oral semaglutide, only nine (6.4%) remained on semaglutide 3 mg, whereas 56 (39.7%) participants were taking semaglutide 7 mg at EOS. Additionally, 75 participants (53.2%) had increased to the maximum 14 mg dose and one participant had temporarily discontinued oral semaglutide at EOS.
Twenty-four participants (12.8%) had a new glucose-lowering medication added, or increased the baseline glucose-lowering medication dose, during the study period. Conversely, 13 participants (7.0%) had a glucose-lowering medication removed or the dose reduced during the study period.
Overall in the in-study observation period, 48 participants (25.7%) experienced a total of 68 AEs; most were mild or moderate in severity and nine participants (4.8%) experienced serious AEs. Most AEs were considered probably related to study drug (Table 2 ). AEs that led to study-drug withdrawal were reported in 25 participants. The most common AEs occurred in the system organ class of gastrointestinal disorders. One case of severe hypoglycaemia was reported by one participant (0.5%); this participant was not receiving insulin or sulfonylurea. The participant also had known hypertension and was receiving treatment with empagliflozin, metformin and enalapril in addition to oral semaglutide. The blood glucose levels of this participant are unavailable, and the severe hypoglycaemia was classified according to the criteria stated in the endpoints safety section.

In this prospective, non-interventional study in participants with T2D in routine clinical practice in Sweden, oral semaglutide was associated with significant decreases in HbA 1c and body weight; more than 20% of participants achieved a reduction in HbA 1c of ≥ 1.0%-points and a reduction in body weight of ≥ 5%. Furthermore, participant satisfaction with treatment improved over the course of the study, and the majority of the participants found the medication easy to take. The treatment was also considered clinically successful by physicians in more than 70% of cases. These results further reinforce the use of oral semaglutide. Further, the safety profile was consistent with that reported in the oral semaglutide phase 3 clinical study programme and no new safety findings were observed [ 9 – 15 ]. In addition, the extent of weight loss with oral semaglutide in this study was consistent with that reported in the subcutaneous semaglutide clinical study programme in T2D [ 19 – 24 ]. Taken together, these findings show that the benefit–risk profile of oral semaglutide remains positive.
The decrease in HbA 1c of 0.88%-points (9.64 mmol/mol) in this study compares to a mean 0.9%-point decrease reported in the IGNITE study, an observational study ( n = 211) evaluating oral semaglutide use in routine clinical practice in participants with T2D in the USA [ 25 ], and to a mean 1.3% reduction in the Swedish cohort ( n = 195) of the SURE study, an observational study of subcutaneously administered semaglutide use in routine clinical practice [ 26 ]. In the same analysis of SURE, the reduction in body weight among Swedish participants ( n = 193) was 5.7 kg, as compared to 4.6 kg in the present study [ 26 ]. It should be noted that Swedish participants in the SURE study had higher HbA 1c (8.0%) and body weight (101.9 kg) values at baseline, a much longer disease duration (10.3 years) than participants included in the current study, and that the study used a different analysis which only included participants on-treatment at EOS, limiting comparisons between these study populations. Similarly, in the PIONEER REAL Canada study, participants achieved a slightly greater decrease in HbA 1c of 1.1%-points; however, the participants in the Canada study had higher baseline HbA 1c than those in this study, and this is reflected in the proportion of participants achieving HbA 1c of < 7%, which was 53.7% in the PIONEER REAL Canada study and 64.6% in the present study. Participants in the PIONEER REAL Canada study also achieved greater reductions in body weight (7.2%) than in the present study (4.7%) [ 27 ]. However, these real-world populations will vary in their characteristics (e.g. different baseline HbA 1c or T2D duration), and caution is required when comparing results between studies.
The relatively high proportions of participants achieving HbA 1c < 7% further indicates that oral semaglutide could help individuals with poorly controlled T2D to achieve the proposed glycaemic target of HbA 1c ≤ 7% [ 5 ], thus preventing complications. The oral formulation may also be preferred by some individuals with aversions to injections. However, in this study, over 90% of the participants were white, while in Sweden, the risk of T2D appears to be higher in minority ethnic groups, particularly in individuals with South Asian or Middle Eastern ethnicity [ 28 , 29 ]. These individuals were underrepresented in the present study; however, the vast majority of people with T2D in Sweden are white which implies good generalisability of these findings to the wider T2D population in Sweden [ 30 ]. Other ongoing studies may provide more specific information about the CV effects of semaglutide in individuals living with T2D and established CVD and/or CKD [ 31 ].
The majority of participants in PIONEER REAL Sweden reported concomitant glucose-lowering medication use at baseline (78.6% were on concomitant metformin and 21.4% were on concomitant SGLT2 inhibitors), which is to be expected since more than 90% of participants had T2D for longer than 1 year (mean duration of T2D was 6.8 years in participants who provided a date of T2D diagnosis). In a recent survey study conducted in almost 4500 Italian patients with T2D initiating oral semaglutide treatment in specialist care, the most common glucose-lowering treatment reported at baseline was also the concomitant use of metformin (79.9%) [ 32 ], similar to PIONEER REAL Sweden.
As a real-world evidence study, the PIONEER REAL Sweden study provides insights into how oral semaglutide performs in a diverse population of adults with T2D encountered in routine clinical practice in Sweden, and into the perceptions of physicians and participants in using oral semaglutide. However, this study also had a few limitations. The observational nature of the study and lack of a comparator arm mean that other explanations for the changes in HbA 1c and body weight, such as changes in medication throughout the study, cannot be excluded. In addition, the clinical reasons to initiate semaglutide could have affected the observed changes in HbA 1c , potentially influencing the results of this study. The data were collected as part of routine clinical practice rather than through mandatory assessments at prespecified time points, which could impact the robustness and completeness of data. Given the design of this study, it is not possible to make causal inferences between treatment and observed outcomes. A placebo effect cannot be ruled out with regard to participant- and physician-reported outcomes; however, questionnaires, such as the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, are a common method for assessing treatment satisfaction and participant and physician viewpoints and as a result of the observational nature of the study would mirror their use in everyday clinical practice.
The clinical outcomes observed in PIONEER REAL Sweden showed significant improvement in glycaemic control, with no new safety concerns, and an improvement in treatment satisfaction among adults with T2D who were prescribed once-daily oral semaglutide, in the clinical practice setting. As part of the wider PIONEER REAL study programme, this provides insights into the use of oral semaglutide in routine clinical practice in a diverse real-world population of adults with T2D.

Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes are associated with accelerated brain aging, according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden published in the journal Diabetes Care. The good news is that this may be counteracted by a healthy lifestyle.
Type 2 diabetes is a known risk factor for dementia, but it is unclear how diabetes and its early stages, known as prediabetes, affect brain ageing in people without dementia. Now, a comprehensive brain imaging study shows that both diabetes and prediabetes can be linked to accelerated brain ageing.
The study included more than 31,000 people between 40 and 70 years of age from the UK Biobank who had undergone a brain MRI scan (magnetic resonance imaging). The researchers used a machine learning approach to estimate brain age in relation to the person's chronological age.
Prediabetes and diabetes were associated with brains that were 0.5 and 2.3 years older than chronological age, respectively. In people with poorly controlled diabetes, the brain appeared more than four years older than chronological age. The researchers also noted that the gap between brain age and chronological age increased slightly over time in people with diabetes . These associations were attenuated among people with high physical activity who abstained from smoking and heavy alcohol consumption.
Having an older-appearing brain for one's chronological age can indicate deviation from the normal aging process and may constitute an early warning sign for dementia. On the positive side, it seems that people with diabetes may be able to influence their brain health through healthy living." Abigail Dove, study's lead author, PhD student at the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institutet
Repeated MRI data were available for a small proportion of the study participants. Follow-up MRI scans are ongoing and researchers are now continuing to study the association between diabetes and brain ageing over time.
"There's a high and growing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in the population," says Abigail Dove. "We hope that our research will help prevent cognitive impairment and dementia in people with diabetes and prediabetes."
The study was mainly funded by the Swedish Alzheimer's Foundation, the Dementia Research Fund, the Swedish Research Council and Forte (the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare).

In Finland, which has the highest incidence in the world of type 1 diabetes (T1D) among children, the incidence seems to level off. Sweden, which has the second highest incidence, is said to have an incidence leveling off at ∼40-44 per 100,000 children per year ().The environmental factors explaining the T1D increase should have reached their maximum.
A large international study has identified three different pathways towards type 1 diabetes in children. Researchers at Lund University Diabetes Centre have contributed with data from a prospective study in southern Sweden. An important objective with the study published in Nature Communications is to gain a better understanding of how the disease develops to be able to take preventive measures.
There were 27,841 people identified in the NDR as living with type 1 diabetes in Sweden and at risk of death at some point between 2002 and 2011 inclusive, contributing 194,685 person-years of follow-up. Overall, 2,018 deaths were observed. The ages ranged from 17.0 to 97.7 years.

Introduction. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition prevalent in about 30 000 people in Sweden [1].The consequences of the condition vary among patients - common complications include nephropathy, diabetic foot disease, retinopathy, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and stroke.
For many years, a biomarker known as HbA1c has been used to measure mean blood glucose levels. In Sweden, the target HbA1c value in people with type 1 diabetes is 52 mmol/mol or below, and 47 or lower in children. Elsewhere in the world, the guidelines range from 48 to 58 mmol/mol, and are often higher in children than in adults.
Type 1 diabetes was associated with greater fatigue, with a 1.4-point difference (0.9-1.9, 95% CI) in general fatigue on a scale of 4-20.
