Background: Guidelines differ with regard to indications for initial combination pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes. Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of (i) sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor combination therapy in treatment-naïve type 2 diabetes adults; (ii) initial high and low dose SGLT2 inhibitor combination therapy. Methods: PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of initial SGLT2 combination therapy. Mean difference (MD) for changes from baseline (HbA1c, weight, blood pressure) after 24–26 weeks of treatment and relative risks (RR, safety) were calculated using a random-effects model. Risk of bias and quality of evidence was assessed. Results: In 4 RCTs (n = 3749) there was moderate quality evidence that SGLT2 inhibitor/metformin combination therapy resulted in a greater reduction in HbA1c (MD (95% CI); −0.55% (−0.67, −0.43)) and weight (−2.00 kg (−2.34, −1.66)) compared with metformin monotherapy, and a greater reduction in HbA1c (−0.59% (−0.72, −0.46)) and weight (−0.57 kg (−0.89, −0.25)) compared with SGLT2 inhibitor monotherapy. The high dose SGLT2 inhibitor/metformin combination resulted in a similar HbA1c but greater weight reduction; −0.47 kg (−0.88, −0.06) than the low dose combination therapy. The RR of genital infection with combination therapy was 2.22 (95% CI 1.33, 3.72) and 0.69 (95% CI 0.50, 0.96) compared with metformin and SGLT2 inhibitor monotherapy, respectively. The RR of diarrhoea was 2.23 (95% CI 1.46, 3.40) with combination therapy compared with SGLT2 inhibitor monotherapy. Conclusions: Initial SGLT2 inhibitor/metformin combination therapy has glycaemic and weight benefits compared with either agent alone and appears relatively safe. High dose SGLT2 inhibitor/metformin combination therapy appears to have modest weight, but no glycaemic benefits compared with the low dose combination therapy.

Background. The concurrent use of a postprandial insulin sensitizing agent, such as bromocriptine-QR, a quick release formulation of bromocriptine, a dopamine D2 receptor agonist, may offer a strategy to improve glycemic control and limit/reduce insulin requirement in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients on high-dose insulin. This open label pilot study evaluated this potential utility of bromocriptine-QR.Methods. Ten T2DM subjects on metformin (1-2 gm/day) and high-dose (TDID ≥ 65 U/day) basal-bolus insulin were enrolled to receive once daily (morning) bromocriptine-QR (1.6–4.8 mg/day) for 24 weeks. Subjects with at least one postbaselineHbA1cmeasurement (N=8) were analyzed for change from baselineHbA1c, TDID, and postprandial glucose area under the curve of a four-hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT).Results. Compared to the baseline, averageHbA1cdecreased 1.76% (9.74±0.56to7.98±0.36,P=0.01), average TDID decreased 27% (199±33to147±31,P=0.009), and MMTT AUC60–240decreased 32% (P=0.04) over the treatment period. The decline inHbA1cand TDID was observed at 8 weeks and sustained over the remaining 16-week study duration.Conclusion. In this study, bromocriptine-QR therapy improved glycemic control and meal tolerance while reducing insulin requirement in T2DM subjects poorly controlled on high-dose insulin therapy.

Abstract Aims The aims of this work are to assess the clinical adverse events (AEs) of high-dose vs low-dose sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from January 1, 2006 to March 10, 2020, for identifying eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that reported AEs by high-dose and low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors in T2DM patients. Random-effects models was used to obtain summary relative risks (RRs) with associated 95% CIs. Prespecified subgroup analyses according to individual SGLT2 inhibitors and follow-up duration, and leave-one-out sensitivity analysis were conducted. Results A total of 51 RCTs involving 24 371 patients (12 208 received high-dose and 12 163 received low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors) were included. Overall, the heterogeneity among included studies was relatively low (I2 < 50% for each outcome). No significant differences between high-dose and low-dose SGLT2 inhibitors were observed for overall safety (including any AEs, serious AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and death) and specified safety (including infections and infestations, musculoskeletal disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, osmotic diuresis-related AEs, volume-related AEs, renal-related AEs, and metabolism and nutrition), except for a mild increase in risk for AEs related to study drugs (RR: 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.16) that mainly derived from canagliflozin (RR: 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05-1.30). Subgroup analyses were consistent with the primary outcomes. Conclusions This study provided substantial evidence that AEs of SGLT2 inhibitors were not dose related.
