ObjectiveTo determine real-world trends in antidiabetic drug use, and persistence and adherence, in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).DesignRetrospective evaluation of administrative claims data (2011–2015) using the Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC) and Medical Data Vision (MDV) databases.SettingAnalysis of two administrative claims databases for Japanese patients with T2DM.ParticipantsAdults (aged ≥18 years) with an International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision code of T2DM and at least one antidiabetic drug prescription.Main outcome measuresTreatment patterns in untreated (UT) or previously treated (PT) patients receiving antidiabetic therapy; persistence with treatment at 12 months; adherence to treatment at 12 months.Results40 908 and 90 421 patients were included from the JMDC and MDV databases, respectively. The most frequently prescribed therapy at the index (first prescription) date was dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) in UT patients (JMDC: 44.0%, MDV: 54.8%) and combination therapy in PT patients (74.6%, 81.1%). Most common combinations were DPP-4i plus: biguanide (BG; 11.4%, 10.9%), sulfonylurea (SU; 8.4%, 11.0%) or BG+SU (7.8%, 9.1%). In UT or PT patients from either database whose index prescription was for any antidiabetic drug class(es) other than DPP-4i, the most frequent add-on or switch was to DPP-4i. 12-month persistence with index monotherapy was highest with DPP-4i and BG. Adherence was high (≥80%) for all monotherapy schedules, except insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, and for the five most frequent two-drug and three-drug combinations. Persistence was greater in elderly UT patients and in those receiving ≤5 medications, but comparatively worse in UT patients with ≥3 index antidiabetic drug classes.ConclusionsThe findings indicate that DPP-4i is the most commonly used antidiabetic drug class in Japanese patients with T2DM, and persistence and adherence to this antidiabetic drug class are high.

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.

Objective: This study was carried out to analyze the impact of universal health coverage in Indonesia, known as Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) on percentage of patients who did fasting blood glucose (FBG) tests each hospital visit and clinical outcomes (CO) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.Methods: We conducted a longitudinal retrospective study to collect the data from 6-month before JKN and 1-year after JKN at 3 hospitals in Jakarta Province. All T2DM outpatients’ services using Asuransi Kesehatan (ASKES) with at least 6 hospital visits were included. The subject with double insurances and died before implementation of JKN were excluded. The clinical outcome before and after JKN were compared with Wilcoxon test.Results: Total samples that collected were 296 patients divided to predominance female with 166(56%) and male 125(44%). From the data, it seemed that there were no all patients who did FBG test. We founded 50% of patients had FBG test before JKN.  Meanwhile, the percentage at the beginning of JKN tended to be lower about 37% than before JKN. Number of patiens decreased associate with JKN but number of hospital visit increased. Based on FBG level, 17(9.19%) patients had better CO and this number increased slightly after JKN to 22(11.89%). In contrast, patients with worse FBG level decreased about 9%. More patients had bad stable and less patients had good stable FBG level. Statistical analysis showed that CO between before and after JKN had P value 0.404 among T2DM outpatients in Type A Hospitals and P value 0.877 in Type B Hospital.Conclusion: Implementation of JKN had impact to decrease percentage of patients who did FBG tests and number of patients but raised hospital visit. CO was different significantly between before and after JKN among T2DM outpatients in Type A Hospitals but was no different in Type B Hospital.Keywords: Universal health coverage, Clinical outcome, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, Fasting blood glucose.
