Abstract Background: SGLT2 inhibitor combined with insulin therapy is a novel therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Without the reduction of basal insulin, hypoglycemia could occur frequently in this therapy. But diabetic ketoacidosis is an undesirable adverse effect in case with basal insulin reduction. The aim of this study is to explore whether the reduction of the basal insulin dose combined with SGLT2 inhibitor in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus can reduce the frequency of hypoglycemia and be used safely. We hypothesized that with an adequate basal insulin dose, the frequency of hypoglycemia is higher if the basal insulin dose is not reduced when combined with SGLT2 inhibitor.Methods and Analysis: The study has a two-arm design; 60 subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus are being recruited from 7 hospitals. The basal insulin dose before the start of the SGLT2 inhibitor combination therapy is the reference. Study subjects are stratified into two groups based on the ratio of basal insulin daily dose (Basal) to total daily insulin dose (TDD). The subjects are instructed to reduce the basal insulin dose by 10% or 0% for Basal to TDD ratio of <0.4 and > 0.4, respectively.The primary outcome is the frequency of hypoglycemia per day during the intervention period (administration of SGLT2 inhibitor) as determined by self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). The secondary outcome is the frequency of ketosis before and after the intervention. Discussion: 10% basal insulin reduction could reduce hypoglycemia as well as could not increase ketosis in case that the ratio of basal insulin daily dose to total daily insulin dose is 0.4 or higher, which improve the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitor treatment patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Ethics and Dissemination: The study was approved by Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Clinical Research Review Board (CRB5180001). The results will be disseminated through presentations at appropriate conferences and meetings, and published in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration: Registered with Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs051190114) on 2 March, 2020. https://rctportal.niph.go.jp/detail/jr?trial_id=jRCTs051190114)

Abstract Objective: Despite intensive insulin treatment in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), many of them do not reach the glycemic target goal. We performed a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of additional therapy to insulin in patients with T1D. Methods: We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index Expanded from January 1970 until September 2019 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in T1D patients treated with insulin and metformin, sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). We performed direct and indirect network meta-analysis using Bayesian models and generated rankings of the different hypoglycemia agents by generating mixed treatment comparison. Results: With 23 RCTs (n = 5,151), we performed the network meta-analysis using eight groups; 1) insulin alone, 2) insulin and metformin, 3) insulin and canagliflozin, 4) insulin and dapagliflozin, 5) insulin and empagliflozin, 6) insulin and sotagliflozin, 7) insulin and liraglutide, and 8) insulin and exenatide. Compared with insulin alone, HbA1c was significantly lower in the group treated with insulin and sotagliflozin (mean difference: -0.43%; 95% credible intervals: -0.62 to -0.23). Total daily insulin dose was significantly lower in the insulin and sotagliflozin group by 6.3 U/day than in insulin alone group. Compared with insulin alone, body weight was significantly decreased in the group treated with canagliflozin by 4.5kg, sotagliflozin by 2.8kg, and exenatide by 5.1 kg, respectively. Severe hypoglycemic episodes did not differ between the groups. Conclusions: In patients with T1D, sotagliflozin add-on to insulin decreased HbA1c levels, daily insulin dose, and body weight without hypoglycemia compared to insulin monotherapy. Combined treatment of canagliflozin or exenatide with insulin was effective in weight loss compared with insulin alone in these patients.

The 26-year-old woman was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2014. The diagnosis was confirmed while there was a slight increase in blood glucose and HbA1c levels using oral glucose tolerance test, determination of insulin levels and GADA testing. This was followed by a 2-year period with complete remissions and partial remissions of 2-8 U daily basal insulin glargine. Thereafter, the patient became pregnant. The minimal basal insulin used to date has been switched to human rapid-acting and NPH insulins five times daily, which had to be increased to 11 times the initial dose in the third trimester of pregnancy. After a successful spontaneous birth of a healthy baby girl, our patient wished to return to one-tenth of the maximum insulin dose that was used during pregnancy, to once daily insulin glargine. After three months, her blood glucose levels began to rise, with oral glucose challenge test showing a marked increase in blood glucose and a drastic reduction in C-peptide levels. This was when we switched to multiple daily insulin administration using glargine basal- and glulisine analogue insulins. Later, glargine was switched to insulin degludec, and with a 30-33 U total daily insulin dose and CGM for the past two years, the patient was in a satisfactory metabolic state.

Abstract Background Double Diabetes (DD), type 1 diabetes (T1DM) + insulin resistance (IR), is associated with increased risk of micro/macro-vascular complications and mortality. Obesity can contribute to the development of DD. This study explored the prevalence of overweight/obesity and their association with DD in adults with T1DM. Methods Cross-sectional study of consecutive adults with T1DM attending diabetes clinics in a secondary care hospital (January-November 2019). Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) was used as a marker of IR, and an eGDR < 8 was used to identify individuals with DD. Results One hundred seven adults with T1DM were included; female/male: 51/56; age [median (inter-quartile range): 30.0 (23–51) years]; BMI 25.4 (22.8–30.0) kg/m2. Overweight/obesity prevalence was 57/107 (53.3 %) [overweight: 30/107 (28 %); obesity: 27/107 (25.2 %)]. Compared to those with normal BMI, individuals with T1DM and overweight/obesity had longer diabetes duration; higher total daily insulin dose; and higher DD prevalence: 48/57 (84.2 %) vs. 14/50 (28 %) (p < 0.01); with similar HbA1c. BMI correlated with total daily insulin dose (rho = 0.55; p < 0.01). Individuals with DD were older, had longer duration of diabetes, higher HbA1c, and more adverse lipid profile and microalbuminuria compared to those without DD. Conclusions Overweight/obesity is very common in adults with T1DM, and is associated with double diabetes. BMI is positively associated with total insulin dose. Double diabetes is associated with adverse cardiovascular risk profile and is also common in lean individuals with T1DM. Further research is needed to examine the impact of overweight/obesity in people with T1DM and whether weight loss in this population can improve diabetes-related outcomes.
