INSTI, Dolutegravir & Hypertension, Diabetes
 
 
  There is a long history of research in this area, here are many such studies with mixed results, some finding an association of DTG with diabetes or hypertension incidence, others like the large one at IAS 2023 finding there was no association, with some finding weight gain could be the mediator.
 
There are 2 studies now LANCET HIV just published on this subject & an Editorial, here they are AND a history of such studies.

Conclusions. Initiating first cART regimens with INSTIs or PIs vs NNRTIs may confer greater risk of DM, likely mediated through weight gain (NA-ACCORD) When accounting for potential mediation of the relationship between cART exposure and incident DM by 12-month weight change, our analyses revealed attenuation of the total effect of INSTI initiation on incident DM by an absolute amount of 5%. This indicates a residual elevated risk of DM associated with INSTI use of 3% that was unexplained by 12-month weight, though both reduced and increased risks were plausible inferences.. https://www.natap.org/2024/HIV/ciaa1403.pdf
