Abstract Using Medicare fee-for-service data from 2013-2015, we identified 3.2 million patients per year (mean [SD] age, 74.7 years [standard deviation, 7.2]) who were treated with glucose-lowering drugs for type 2 diabetes. Between 2013 and 2015, the proportion of patients treated with sulfonylureas declined from 27.4% to 25.1%; those using DPP4is (11.5% to 12.0%) and GLP1-RAs (1.8% to 2.4%) remained unchanged; those using SGLT2is increased from 0.2% to 1.9%. In the subgroup of patients initiating a glucose-lowering drug without prior use of the same class agent, the proportion of patients starting sulfonylureas (18.7% to 17.2% of initiators), DPP4is (16.0% to 15.0% of initiators), and GLP1-RAs (3.4% to 4.2% of initiators) changed little between 2013 and 2015, while those starting SGLT2is increased from 0.7% to 6.5% of initiators. In the Medicare population, we observed a persistently high use of sulfonylureas and a rapid uptake of SGLT2is among the newer classes.

Abstract Using Medicare fee-for-service data from 2013-17, we identified a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) who initiated a glucose-lowering drug (mean [SD] age, 74.8 (6.9) years). Amongst frail patients (CFI≥0.20), metformin use remained stable from 29.1% to 29.4%, whereas sulfonylureas (25.8% to 22.1%) and insulin (21.2% to 19.0%) use declined. Amongst non-frail patients (CFI <0.20), metformin (35.3% to 33.1%) and sulfonylurea (26.2% to 22.2%) use decreased whereas insulin (11.7% to 10.6%) use remained stable. DPP-4i and glitazones use remained stable whereas the use of newer agents such as SGLT-2i and GLP-1 RA increased steadily over the study period in both frail and non-frail patients, though their use remains low ( <8%). In conclusion, sulfonylureas and insulin accounted for about one-third of initiated glucose-lowering medications and were more frequently used by frail patients, though their use declined steadily over time with the availability of newer agents.

Abstract Background: SGLT-2 inhibitors are a group of oral medications that work independently of insulin working as anti-diabetics by enhancing the excretion of glucose. The purpose of our study was to assess the improvement in terms of HbA1c, weight, blood pressure and BMI and the hepatics and renal effect in terms of SGPT and Creatinine in patients already on three oral glucose lowering agents when SGLT-2 inhibitor was added to their medications. Methods: This retrospective, real world, single center study included 99 patients (mean age [Standard Deviation]: 53.8 [9.63] years) with poorly control type 2 diabetes. Data was recorded at three times, before the addition of SGLT-2 inhibitor and then at 3 and 6 month follow up after the drug had been added in patient’s medications. Physical parameters namely weight, BMI and blood pressure were recorded in the clinic while HbA1c, SGPT and Creatinine were checked by laboratory. Results: Improvement was seen in all parameters at both 3 and 6 month follow up interval. The reduction in HbA1c was statistically significant (P-value < 0.001) with (Mean Reduction [Standard Deviation)) 0.81[1.02] % at 3 months and 1.07[1.11] % at 6 months. Weight was also significantly reduced (P-value < 0.001) with (MR [SD]) 1.83[2.32] kg at 3 and 4.02[6.04] kg at 6 months. Statistically significant reduction (P-value < 0.001) in BMI was also seen with 0.69[0.95] kgm-2 at 3 months and 2.13[3.41] kgm-2 at 6 months of follow up. The systolic blood pressure showed significant reduction (P-value < 0.05) of 5.9[15.76] mmHg at 3 months and 6.37[18.33] mmHg at 6 months. The creatinine and SGPT values of the patient showed minimal variation over the course of these 6 months of follow up. Conclusion: Our study showed that SGPT-2 can be reliably used in patients in which diabetes is not being controlled by other glucose lowering agents and is safe for use in patients in which hepatic and renal function needs to be preserved.
