Pioglitazone Group

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a progressive chronic disorder and sustained control of plasma glucose is essential to prevent complications. Pioglitazoneofthiazolidinedionesand sitagliptin of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4I) have recently been used as add-on therapy to control type 2 DM. The aim of this study was to compare the plasma glucose and glycocelatedHb% level of both the group who had poor glycemic control with Metformin and sulfonylurea. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this observational cohort study, 100 patients with uncontrolled type 2 DM on 2000 mg/day of Metformin and 4 mg/day of Glimepiride were enrolled. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups with fifty each. One group received two divided doses of pioglitazone (30 mg/day) and the other received two divided doses of sitagliptin (100 mg/day) as the third medication. Plasma glucose fasting and 2 hours after drug and meal along with HbA1c were assessed before and after three months of treatment. Results: Fasting plasma glucose level in the sitagliptin group was higher than the pioglitazone group; however, this difference was not statistically significant (130.30 ± 30.29 versus 124.58 ± 46.84, p=0.212). Significantdifferences were not observed in HbA1c (7.20±0.96 versus 7.43±0.99, p=0.563) and plasma glucose 2 hours after meal (194.56±66.22 versus 198.58±51.5, p=0.946) after treatment withsitagliptin and pioglitazone among the two groups. Mean weight in the sitagliptin group was lower compared to the pioglitazone group after treatment, however, this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.824). Conclusion: Both the molecule as third agent had similar efficacy in glycemic control. Sitagliptin is better choice to add-on therapy in obese overweight patients.

Abstract Background The aim of the study was a retrospective comparison of the differences in maternal-foetal outcomes between women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM and T2DM). Methods A cohort of 135 patients with pregestational diabetes, 73 with T1DM (mean age 29 ± 5 years) and 62 with T2DM (mean age 33 ± 6 years), in intensive insulin treatment throughout pregnancy were evaluated. Clinical and metabolic parameters and the prevalence of maternal and foetal complications were assessed. Results Women with T1DM showed lower pregestational BMI (p < 0.001), pregestational weight (p < 0.001), weight at delivery (p < 0.001), ∆_total_insulin requirement (IR) at the first, second and third trimesters (all p < 0.001) and higher weight gain during pregnancy (p < 0.001), pregestational HbA1c (p = 0.040), HbA1c in the first (p = 0.004), second (p = 0.020) and third (p = 0.010) trimesters compared to T2DM. Women with T1DM had a higher risk of macrosomia (p = 0.005) than T2DM, while women with T2DM showed higher prevalence of abortion (p = 0.037) than T1DM. At multivariate analysis, pregestational BMI and ∆_total_IR of the first trimester were independently associated with abortion in T2DM, while weight gain during pregnancy was independently associated with macrosomia in T1DM. Conclusion Women with T1DM have a higher risk of macrosomia than T2DM due to weight gain throughout pregnancy. By contrast, women with T2DM have a higher risk of spontaneous abortion than T1DM, due to pregestational BMI and ∆_total_IR in the first trimester.

Aims. Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitors (DPP-4i) are among the most popular oral antidiabetic agents. However, the effects of DPP-4i on diabetic nephropathy are not well-established. The aim of this study was to determine the renoprotective effects of DPP-4i, using albuminuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as indicators, in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods. This retrospective observational cohort study used the clinical database of a tertiary hospital. The changes of urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), estimated GFR (eGFR), and metabolic parameters after treatment were compared with the changes of those parameters before treatment using paired Student’s t-test. Results. The mean UACR in the entire study population decreased to approximately 45 mg/g 1 year after DPP-4i treatment, while it was increased approximately 39 mg/g 1 year before DPP-4i treatment (p<0.05). Patients with macroalbuminuria showed a significant reduction in albumin levels after DPP-4i treatment (p<0.05); however, patients with microalbuminuria and normoalbuminuria did not show improvements in albuminuria levels after treatment. Although eGFR was not changed 1 year after DPP-4i treatment, reductions in eGFR were slowed in patients with microalbuminuria and reversed in the macroalbuminuria or normoalbuminuria groups, 4 years after treatment. Conclusions. Administration of DPP-4i reduces urine albumin excretion and mitigates reduction of eGFR in T2DM patients.
