BACKGROUND: There is a debate over results obtained from type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) obese patients and non-DM2 patients, in reference to metabolic control and ponderal loss, after bariatric surgery. AIM: To evaluate weight loss and metabolic profile of obese patients with DM2 versus non-DM2 subjects, one and three years after bariatric surgery. METHODS: Data from 38 non-DM2 patients and 44 DM2 patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass were analysed retrospectively. For the pre-operatory, first and third year of post-operatory, were compared: weight, body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose (FG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides (TG). RESULTS: Preoperatively, both groups were statistically equivalent in regards to weight, BMI (P = 0.90) and HDL (P = 0.73). This was not the case when TG (P = 0.043) and FG (P<0.01) were analyzed. In PO1, both DM2 and non-DM2 groups showed a reduction in weight, BMI and TG, just as FG in the DM2 group (P < 0.05). HDL increased (P < 0.05) in PO1 in both groups. In the following period, between PO1 and PO3, only TG continued to decrease in the non-DM2 group (P = 0.039), while the other variables did not change. In the DM2 group mean A1c in PO3 was 6.2% +- 0.75 (P = 0.027). It was compared both group's post-operative data. HDL's and TG's variation between groups did not differ in PO1 or between PO1 and PO3. Weight in PO1 and PO3, just as BMI in PO1 and PO3, were not significantly different either. CONCLUSION: In PO1, weight loss and metabolic improvement was seen in both groups. This was sustained in PO3, with no significant weight regain or lipid/FG change. A1c found suggests a reasonable control of DM2 surgery. A trend towards a less intense weight loss could be noticed in the DM2 group (P = 0.053).

Background. According to the latest international clinical guidelines, gliflozins — sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors — are indicated as oral antidiabetic drugs of second-third-line therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Due to insulin-independent stimulation of glucosuria, gliflozins have extraglycemic effects such as weight loss, improved adipose tissue distribution, better plasma lipid profile, and decreased uricemia that in generally reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of dapagliflozin in the treatment of men and women with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a metabo­lically unhealthy phenotype. Materials and methods. The study included 17 individuals with diabetes mellitus type 2 (11 men and 6 women), aged 58.0 ± 1.7 years (95% confidence interval 53–62), whose body composition was evaluated by bioelectric impedance using a Tanita analyzer BC-545N (Japan). Patients received therapy with dapagliflozin, antihypertensive and antihyperlipidemic drugs (statins). Results. A three-month use of dapagliflozin in a dose of 10 mg once daily caused a decrease in body mass index, waist circumference, improvement of body composition, in parti­cular a reduction in total body fat (the significance of changes was determined using a paired t-test). No significant changes in muscle and bone mass, body composition, lipid profile, and uricemia level were observed. The group of women, in contrast to men, had a decreased level of visceral fat, which was accompanied by an improvement in the body’s water supply, and a reduction in the estimated metabolic age. Conclusions. Treatment of type 2 diabetes patients with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors for 3 months has reduced the degree of obesity and improved some indices of body composition. Confirmation of this trend can be obtained in further observations.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are associated with weight loss and improved cardiovascular outcomes, and are increasingly used in pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objectives: To compare weight loss outcomes of empagliflozin and liraglutide in patients with T2DM and overweight/obesity not yet prescribed insulin but requiring additional pharmacotherapy to improve glycemic control. Methods: This is an observational, multisite, cohort study of veterans with T2DM prescribed liraglutide or empagliflozin. Participants were prescribed either empagliflozin or liraglutide prior to November 1, 2017, had a hemoglobin A1C (A1C) ≥7.0%, had a body mass index ≥27 kg/m2, and were not treated with insulin at baseline. The primary outcome was change in weight after 1 year using multiple regression. Secondary outcomes were the proportion achieving ≥5% weight loss and change in A1C. Results: Weight loss was not significantly different between groups: −2.17 kg (95% CI: −2.91 to −1.42) in the liraglutide group (n = 298) and −2.81 kg (95% CI: −3.43 to −2.20) in the empagliflozin group (n = 247; P > 0.05). After adjusting for covariates, this effect remained nonsignificant. There was no difference in change in A1C between liraglutide (−0.83%; 95% CI: −1.05% to −0.62%) and empagliflozin (−0.71%; 95% CI: −0.89% to −0.53%; P > 0.05). Conclusions and Relevance: There was no significant difference in weight outcomes after 1 year in veterans treated with liraglutide versus empagliflozin. Because both medications did show modest weight loss, both remain good options for patients needing an additional medication to improve glycemic control that is at least weight neutral.
