The evidence for DPP-4 inhibitors effectiveness at the late stages of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are still growing. This is particularly important for those patients who receive insulin without adequately glycemic control. This publication provides the overview of studies which demonstrate high efficacy of Vildagliptin in reducing the blood glucose level in patients with hight duration of T2DM and insulin therapy. DPP-4 inhibitors normalize basal and postprandial glucagon secretion with pancreas α-cells that helps to provide better glycemic control and to reduce a risk of hypoglycemia. Besides, there are very interesting data for Vildagliptin to reduce insulin requirement in T2DM patients in addition to HbA1clevel decrease.

AbstractObjective: Despite the diversity of antidiabetic medication currently available, lessthan half of the patients with type 2 diabetes meet the therapeutic targetsrecommended by the guidelines: HbA1c <7%, or even <6.5%. This study aimed toinvestigate the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetesmellitus, with inadequate glycemic control, as well as the effects on cardiovascularrisk factors. Material and method: The study included 348 patients, 161 men(46.3%) and 187 women (53.7%), with mean age of 56.1 ± 6.2 years, who startedtreatment with sitagliptin, combined with either metformin, sulphonylurea or both.Results and discussions: Sitagliptin improved glycemic control reducing averageHbA1c with 1.1%; the average weight decreased with 1.7 kg after 24 weeks oftreatment, and the lipid profile improved significantly. Conclusions: Sitagliptinoffers a new therapeutic option in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with theadvantage of a single dose oral administration.

Pre-clinical studies suggested potential cardiovascular benefits of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i), however, clinical trials showed neither beneficial nor detrimental effects in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We examined the effects of DPP4i on several circulating oxidative stress markers in a cohort of 32 T2DM patients (21 males and 11 post-menopausal females), who were already on routine antidiabetic treatment. Propensity score matching was used to adjust demographic and clinical characteristics between patients who received and who did not receive DPP4i. Whole-blood reactive oxygen species (ROS), plasma advanced glycation end products (AGEs), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), carbonyl residues, as well as ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) and leukocyte DNA oxidative damage (Fpg sites), were evaluated. With the exception of Fpg sites, that showed a borderline increase in DPP4i users compared to non-users (p = 0.0507), none of the biomarkers measured was affected by DPP4i treatment. An inverse correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate and AGEs (p < 0.0001) and Fpg sites (p < 0.05) was also observed. This study does not show any major effect of DPP4i on oxidative stress, assessed by several circulating biomarkers of oxidative damage, in propensity score-matched cohorts of T2DM patients.
