Background and aims: The type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common comorbidity of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). This study intended to investigate the impact of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs)-induced sustained virological response (SVR) on glycometabolism in CHC patients with T2DM. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase up to July 7th, 2021. Studies reporting the association between DAA-induced SVR and glycometabolism in diabetic patients were retained. Changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels before DAA treatment and after SVR were conducted meta-analyses with random-effects models. Results: 1371 potentially relevant articles were screened. Our analysis included 16 studies with data for 5024 patients. A significant improvement was noted in glycemic control in SVR group, with a mean HbA1c reduction of 0.57% (95% CI: 0.46–0.69%; I=72.8%) and FPG reduction of 22.28mg/dL (95% CI: 13.35–31.21mg/dL; I=96.18%). Conversely, changes of HbA1c in non-SVR group were a mean increase of 0.03% (95% CI: -0.15–0.22%; I=68.75%). Subgroup analyses about HbA1c and FPG classified by study type both showed decline of the two indicators after SVR, and especially a reduction of HbA1c, 0.52% (95% CI: 0.39–0.65%; I=73.5%) in retrospective study subgroup and 0.70% (95% CI: 0.54–0.87%; I=36.15%) in prospective study subgroup, indicating lower heterogeneity in prospective studies. Egger’s test suggested publication bias in impact of DAAs on FPG, and no publication bias in impact on HbA1c. Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness of the results. Conclusion: The glyco-metabolic control improved in terms of HbA1c and FPG level after DAA-induced SVR. However, further large and well-designed prospective cohort studies are still warranted and a prolonged follow-up is needed.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of sitagliptin on somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without clinical diabetic neuropathy. Materials and methods: Interventional, prospective, and open study. Patients with less than six months from the diagnosis were included. Examinations of SEPs and laboratory tests at fasting and after food stimulation were performed before and after three months of treatment with sitagliptin (100 mg/day). Results: There was a reduction in the mean levels of HbA1c (P < 0.0001), fasting glucose (P = 0.001), total cholesterol (P = 0.019), and ALT (P = 0.022). An increase in active GLP-1 was found at the end of the study (P = 0.0025). Several SEPs showed statistically significant differences when analyzed before and after treatment with sitagliptin. Conclusion: The results give a glimpse of the possible use of sitagliptin in the treatment of some neurodegenerative conditions of the peripheral nervous system, in addition to its already established role in glycemic control.

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). HCV infection and type 2 diabetes are two common disorders with a high impact on health worldwide. There is growing evidenceto support the concept that HCV infection is a risk factor for developing type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Both insulin resistance and diabetes canadversely affect the course of chronic hepatitis C, and lead to poor response to antiviral therapy and increased incidence of Hepatocellularcarcinoma. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the frequency of type 2 Diabetes mellitus in newly diagnosed chronichepatitis C patients presenting in Allied hospital Medical unit II during six month period. Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Medicalunit-II, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: 01-08-2009 to 28-02-2010. Material and methods: All newly diagnosed patients of chronichepatitis C on the basis of PCR for HCV-RNA were included in the study. Fasting and two hours postprandial blood sample were tested.Diabetes Mellitus was labeled as per slandered. Results: Out of 180 patients with CHC 19 (10.6%) were found to have Diabetes mellituswhile 161(89.4%) were non-diabetics. Conclusions: There is close association in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patientswith chronic hepatitis C.

The causal link between chronic hepatitis C and glycometabolic alterations has been confirmed by much biochemical, clinical, and epidemiological research work, but what is still controversial is the long-term clinical impact of sustained virologic response (SVR) achieved by direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this paper is to summarize the biochemical and clinical consequences to DM of DAA-based therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. An electronic search of Embase, PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was conducted for publications assessing whether clearance of HCV achieved by interferon (IFN)-free antiviral therapy determines significant changes in glycometabolic control and clinical outcomes of diabetic patients. A beneficial effect of SVR obtained by DAA therapy on DM prevention and the short-term outcome of glycometabolic alterations are acknowledged by most of the studies. Whether this effect is maintained over the long term with a significant clinical impact on diabetic and liver disease is still a matter of debate.
