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.

Abstract Background and Aims Patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) included in trials of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are heterogeneous in terms of disease severity. We assessed the effects of canagliflozin compared to placebo on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in the CANVAS program according to severity of T2DM as indicated by intensity of treatment, duration of diabetes and glycaemic control. Method We compared effects on major adverse cardiovascular events ([MACE], defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke) according to three indicators of T2DM severity at study baseline: number of oral glucose lowering treatments or insulin therapy (0-1, 2, 3+, insulin), duration of diabetes (<10, 10-16, >16 years) and HbA1c (<7.0, 7.0-7.5, 7.5-8.0, 8.0-8.5, 8.5-9, >9.0%). We also assessed effects on other pre-specified cardiovascular outcomes, and an adjudicated composite of end-stage kidney disease, renal death or sustained 40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. We assessed for constancy of hazard ratios across subgroups by fitting an interaction term that tested for linear trend. Results Of 10,142 participants in the CANVAS Program, 1011 experienced a MACE during a mean follow-up of 3.6 years. Event rates for MACE were higher in those with longer duration of diabetes and higher HbA1c at baseline. The effect of canagliflozin on MACE in the overall population (HR 0.86, 95 % CI 0.75-0.97) was consistent irrespective of the number of glucose lowering treatments (p=0.509), duration of diabetes (p=0.174) and baseline HbA1c (p =0.314). Effects were also consistent across different levels of T2DM disease severity for all other outcomes studied. Conclusion Higher event rates were observed in those with longer disease duration and higher HbA1c. The proportional risk reductions achieved with canagliflozin were comparable regardless of diabetes duration, number of therapies or HbA1C at baseline.

BackgroundThe duodenum has become a metabolic treatment target through bariatric surgery learnings and the specific observation that bypassing, excluding or altering duodenal nutrient exposure elicits favourable metabolic changes. Duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR) is a novel endoscopic procedure that has been shown to improve glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) irrespective of body mass index (BMI) changes. DMR involves catheter-based circumferential mucosal lifting followed by hydrothermal ablation of duodenal mucosa. This multicentre study evaluates safety and feasibility of DMR and its effect on glycaemia at 24 weeks and 12 months.MethodsInternational multicentre, open-label study. Patients (BMI 24–40) with T2D (HbA1c 59–86 mmol/mol (7.5%–10.0%)) on stable oral glucose-lowering medication underwent DMR. Glucose-lowering medication was kept stable for at least 24 weeks post DMR. During follow-up, HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), weight, hepatic transaminases, Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), adverse events (AEs) and treatment satisfaction were determined and analysed using repeated measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction.ResultsForty-six patients were included of whom 37 (80%) underwent complete DMR and 36 were finally analysed; in remaining patients, mainly technical issues were observed. Twenty-four patients had at least one AE (52%) related to DMR. Of these, 81% were mild. One SAE and no unanticipated AEs were reported. Twenty-four weeks post DMR (n=36), HbA1c (−10±2 mmol/mol (−0.9%±0.2%), p<0.001), FPG (−1.7±0.5 mmol/L, p<0.001) and HOMA-IR improved (−2.9±1.1, p<0.001), weight was modestly reduced (−2.5±0.6 kg, p<0.001) and hepatic transaminase levels decreased. Effects were sustained at 12 months. Change in HbA1c did not correlate with modest weight loss. Diabetes treatment satisfaction scores improved significantly.ConclusionsIn this multicentre study, DMR was found to be a feasible and safe endoscopic procedure that elicited durable glycaemic improvement in suboptimally controlled T2D patients using oral glucose-lowering medication irrespective of weight loss. Effects on the liver are examined further.Trial registration numberNCT02413567

Background: Hypertension is a common comorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Initial treatment is usually with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), with other antihypertensive therapies (AHTs) added if needed. Dapagliflozin (DAPA) increases urinary glucose excretion accompanied by diuresis and weight loss, which contributes to blood pressure (BP) reduction. Here we evaluate the proportions of patients achieving combined HbA1c and systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction with DAPA in two studies of patients with both inadequately controlled T2DM and hypertension. Methods: Patients with both inadequately controlled T2DM (HbA1c 7.0-10.5%) and hypertension (seated SBP / diastolic BP: 140-164 / 85-104 mmHg) despite receiving glucose-lowering drugs and an ACEi or ARB (Study 1) plus a 2nd AHT agent (Study 2) were randomized to receive double-blind DAPA 10 mg or placebo for 12 weeks. Primary results have been presented previously; here we present proportions of patients achieving combined changes from baseline (Δ) in HbA1c and SBP. Results: In Study 2, additional AHT drugs were thiazide/thiazide-like diuretics (~44%), calcium channel blockers (~27%), and beta blockers (~27%). Across both studies, 520 and 522 patients had available paired ΔHbA1c and ΔSBP values in the DAPA and placebo groups, respectively. More patients achieved combined ΔHbA1c and ΔSBP reduction with DAPA (n=325; 62.5%) vs placebo (n=190; 36.4%) (Figure - dotted boxes). Considering more stringent thresholds, more patients achieved combined reductions in ΔHbA1c of ≥0.5% and ΔSBP of ≥5 mmHg with DAPA (n=194; 37.3%) vs placebo (n=86; 16.5%) (Figure - solid boxes). Conclusions: In T2DM patients with hypertension on glucose-lowering therapies and an ACEi or ARB ± 1 additional AHT, adding dapagliflozin achieved clinically significant combined HbA1c and SBP reductions over 12 weeks in greater numbers of patients than placebo.

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with hyperglycemia for a long period of time are significant causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Studying the predictors of glycemic control help to minimize deaths and the development of acute and chronic diabetes complication. Hence, the aim of this study is to asses’ predictors of glycemic control among patients with Type 2 diabetes in Ethiopia. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted among Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients enrolled between December 2011 and December 2012 at Debre Markos and Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital. A total of 191 T2DM patients was included in the study who meets the eligibility criteria. Generalized linear mixed model was employed. Results The prevalence of good glycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients was 58.4% where as 23.25% of variation was explained in the fitted model due to adding the random effects. The significance predictors of glycemic control among patients with Type 2 diabetes at 95% confidence level were reside in rural(0.454, 0.614)), patients age 38–50, 51–59 and 60–66 years(1.267,1.776), (1.057,1.476) and (1.004, 1.403), respectively, Proteinuria positive(1.211,1.546), diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 (1.101, 1.522), systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 (1.352, 1.895), creatinine (0.415, 0.660), duration per visit (0.913, 0.987), duration since diagnosis (0.985, 0.998), weight 78–88(0.603, 0.881). Conclusion Level of glycemic control among type 2 diabetes patients was poor. Resident, age, weight, duration of T2DM since diagnosis, duration of type 2 DM per visit, follow up time, protein urea, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and creatinine were significant predictors of glycemic control among type 2 DM patients. During diabetic patients follow up, clinicians should give appropriate attention to these significant variables for good glycemic control since it is the main goal of diabetes management.

Background: This study aims to investigate whether or not uric acid and bilirubin have a role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in prediabetic patients. Methods: 93 patients were included in the study. These patients were diagnosed as being prediabetic using the oral glucose tolerance test, and they also had their serum uric acid and total bilirubin measured during the follow-up application (1 - 5 years). Results: 17 out of the 93 patients developed T2DM during the study period. The only significant difference between the T2DM group and the non-T2DM group was OGTT 0.min and 120.min (p=0.001 and p=0.007, respectively). Analysis of the relationship between age, sex, HbA1c, uric acid, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin levels and T2DM development showed that none of the aforementioned risk factors were related with diabetes development. In the non-T2DM group, the median total bilirubin level was only found to be higher in the baseline assessment (p=0.042). Conclusion: It was found that uric acid and bilirubin had no effect on the development of diabetes in the 1-5-year follow-up of prediabetic patients. Randomized-controlled studies of a larger number of patients and sufficient follow-up time are required to provide clearer data on this topic.
