Background: DPP-4 is widely distributed in endothelial cells, pancreas, uterus, liver, salivary glands, lymph node, spleen, and thymus. DPP-4 regulates glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1, and glucose-dependent insulin tropic peptide (GIP) which leads to glucose homeostasis via enhancing insulin secretion and suppression of glucagon, which results in control of post-prandial and fasting hyperglycemia.Methods: These 40 patients who were enrolled as per the inclusion criteria of receiving metformin dosage of 2 gram per day in established type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with no comorbidities. these patients were divided randomly into two groups comprising of 20 patients each, group A received linagliptin 5 mg per day in addition to metformin 1gm twice daily whereas group B received linagliptin 5 mg per day in a fixed dose (Linagliptin + metformin) of 2.5/1000 twice daily.Results: In the present observational study, the mean age in group A was 46.7±9.4 compared to 51.65±9.9 in group B, p >0.05, mean BMI in group A was 27.8±1.1 compared to 27.28±0.93 in group B p >0.05, Mean FBS in group A was 157.9±24.1 compared to 146.2±21.8 in group B p >0.05, Mean PPBS in group A was 245.8±32.7 compared to 246.2±39.3 in group B p >0.05 and Mean HbA1c in group A was 7.67±0.58 compared to 7.6±0.5 in group B p >0.05. Group A patients were initiated on once daily linagliptin, there was a significant reduction in FBS, PPBS and HbA1c at the end of 6 months p <0.001. Similarly, Group B patients who were initiated on twice daily linagliptin also showed a significant reduction in FBS, PPBS and HbA1c at the end of 6 months p <0.001.Conclusions: The addition of linagliptin to metformin treatment was effective and well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin add-on to metformin during the early course of treatment helps in delaying the exhaustion of pancreatic islet function. Plasma concentrations of linagliptin decline in at least a biphasic manner with a long terminal half-life (>100 hours), related to the saturable binding of linagliptin to DPP-4. The prolonged elimination phase does not contribute to the accumulation of the drug. Addition of linagliptin to metformin has shown a significant reduction in FBS, PPBS and HbA1c.

Background: The pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by deficient insulin activity arising from decreased insulin secretion secondary to beta cell failure, and/or compromised insulin action in peripheral target tissues (insulin resistance).Methods: The patients attending the medicine outpatient department of tertiary care teaching hospital were enrolled in the study. Patients, who fulfilled the selection criteria, were allocated in two treatment groups. Group A was treated with metformin (Sustained release preparation) 500mg once daily and group B was treated with vildagliptin 50mg once daily. Measurement of body weight, fasting blood glucose (FPG), postprandial blood glucose (PPG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), serum urea, creatinine and urine albumin/creatinine ratio was performed at the initial visit and at the end of 12 weeks of treatment.Results: Out of 84 patients screened, 74 were enrolled for the study. Of the 74 patients, 39(52.7%) were male and 35(47.3%) were female. The patients were divided into two groups (group A and group B) consisting 37 patients in each group. Out of 74 patients, 62 completed the study. Out of 12 patients who did not complete the study, 5 patients were lost during follow-up period and 7 patients discontinued treatment due to AEs. The mean age of the patients was 51 and 49years in the groups A and B respectively. There was no statistical difference in the baseline FPG, PPG, HbA1c, serum urea, serum creatinine, urine ACR and body weight between two groups.Conclusions: The study shows that metformin and vildagliptin have similar effect on glycaemic control, but vildagliptin exerts better Reno protective effect and there were no reports of serious adverse events.

Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors, anti-diabetic agents, are expected to be effective for treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Several studies have shown that some DPP-4 inhibitors alleviate hepatic steatosis or steatohepatitis in type 2 diabetic mice or rats. Teneligliptin is DPP4 inhibitor whose efficacy to control blood sugar is well established but its effect on liver is not studied well. In present study we investigated effect of teneligliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor on patients of type 2 diabetes with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind study in which 64 patients between ages of 18 to 80 years were selected for study. Participants were identified as type 2 diabetes with biopsy confirmed NASH. We excluded the patients with glucocorticoid use, hepatitis B or C, and other diseases that might affect liver function. Results: The mean HbA1c change after 48 weeks of therapy in group A was-1.06 % and in group B was-0.77% and this was statistically insignificant (p>0.06). The mean AST change after 48 weeks of therapy in group A was-45.4% and in group B was-33.3% and this was statistically significant (p<0.001). The mean ALT change after 48 weeks of therapy in group A was-41.6% and in group B was-22.7% and this was statistically significant (p<0.001). The change in liver fat content (LFC) after 48 weeks of therapy in group A was-15.4% and group B was-7.14% and this was also statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusions: Result of our study revealed that teneligliptin significantly reduce serum transaminases in patients of NASH with type 2 DM. Teneligliptin significantly reduce LFC and delay progression of NASH independent of diabetes control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. These data show significant antisteatotic and anti-inflammatory effect of teneligliptin in type 2 diabetes patients.

The aim of this paper was to assess serum uric acid (SUA) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with or without sudomotor dysfunction (evaluated by the Neuropad test). We included 36 T2DM patients with sudomotor dysfunction (group A: mean age63.1±2.6years) and 40 age-, gender-, renal function- and T2DM duration-matched patients without sudomotor dysfunction (group B: mean age62.1±3.1years). SUA was significantly higher in group A (P<0.001). There was a significant correlation between SUA and Neuropad time to colour change in both groups (group A:rs=0.819,P<0.001; group B:rs=0.774,P<0.001). There was also a significant positive correlation between SUA and CRP in both groups (group A:rs=0.947,P<0.001; group B:rs=0.848,P<0.001). In conclusion, SUA levels were higher in T2DM patients with sudomotor dysfunction than those without this complication. The potential role of SUA in sudomotor dysfunction merits further study.

OBJECTIVES: To assess efficacy of two doses i.e., 10 mg and 25 mg in lowering the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) having suboptimal glycaemic control on maximal doses of Metformin and Sitagliptin, and to see the frequency of its side-effects. METHODOLOGY: The study design was a randomized control trial. Fifty nine adult patients of T2DM who were already on 2000 mg of Metformin and 100 mg of Sitagliptin and were having suboptimal glycaemic control (HBA1C >7% and <12%) were randomized to two groups, one group receiving 10 mg (Group A) and the other group receiving 25 mg of empagliflozin (Group B) as an additional treatment. HbA1C and FBG were taken before and 12 weeks after addition of empagliflozin in both the groups. Side effects of empagliflozin such as urinary tract infections (UTI) and genital mycotic infections were also recorded in both the groups. RESULTS: Total patients in-group A were 31 and their mean age was 51.48±4.29 years. In-group B there were 28 patients and their mean age was 52.39±5.20 years. There was a statistically significant reduction of both HbA1C and FBG in both the groups after empagliflozin treatment; (p=0.000) for both HbA1C and FBG in both the groups. Although numerically UTI and genital mycotic infections were more than pre-treatment numbers, they were not statistically significant (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Empagliflozin can be safely added to the oral anti-diabetic regimen of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have suboptimal glycaemic control and results in significant improvement in HbA1C.

Maintaining regular blood pressure control usually requires multidrug regimens rather than monotherapy. The objective of this study was to describe the effectiveness and safety of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and a nondihydropyridine calcium channel blocker in a single-tablet combination in patients with hypertension, a heart rate higher than 70 beats/min, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study was conducted in Turkey as a prospective, noninterventional, observational study. At 22 clinical sites, the data of 200 patients with hypertension were used for efficacy analysis; however, 262 patients received at least one dose of trandolapril/verapamil fixed-dose combination at two dose strengths. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate, PR interval, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and albumin/creatinine ratios were recorded during 8 weeks of treatment. With treatment, the mean (±SD) SBP that was recorded as 162.8 (±14.642) mm Hg at baseline was reduced to 131.7±11.1 mm Hg at week 8 (p<0.05). Similarly, the mean DBP was reduced from 93.76±9.16 mm Hg to 77.6±7.6 mm Hg (p<0.001). Following 8 weeks of treatment, SBP and DBP values were reduced below 140 mm Hg and 90 mm Hg in most patients (81.5%), respectively. The mean heart rate as evaluated using electrocardiography measurements was reduced to 78.25 beats/min at week 8 as compared with baseline during trandolapril/verapamil single-pill combination treatment (p<0.001). Treatment with trandolapril and verapamil was well tolerated over 8 weeks with no unexpected safety signals. In conclusion, the single-pill combination of trandolapril and verapamil was considered effective in reducing and controlling blood pressure in patients with hypertension and T2DM. There was a significant improvement in HbA1c and ACR levels in a smaller subgroup of the patient cohort. The trandolapril/verapamil combination was evaluated as being safe and well-tolerated following a treatment period of 8 weeks. This trial was registered with NCT02298556.

AbstractThis study aims to compare sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in terms of remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients. All T2DM patients were followed-up for at least 36 months. The primary outcome was remission of T2DM. Secondary endpoints included weight reduction and the procedure’s impact on quality of life. In total, 53/1177 morbidly obese patients who underwent SG (Group A, n = 28) or OAGB (Group B, n = 25) had T2DM. Preoperatively, the mean Body Mass Index (BMI) values were 52.2 ± 8.5 kg/m2 and 52.9 ± 10.9 kg/m2 for Group A and Group B, respectively. Six patients in Group A were insulin dependent, while 8 were insulin dependent in Group B. After 36 months, diabetes remission was achieved by only 10 patients (35.7%) in Group A. However, in Group B, 22 patients (88%) remained off antidiabetic agents (p < 0.0001), with ΔHbA1c (%) reaching 1.4 ± 1.5% in Group A and 2.7 ± 2.1% in Group B (p = 0.02). Excess weight loss% (%EWL) was again significantly different between the two groups (MA = 79.8 ± 14.5%, MB = 93.3 ± 16.0%, p = 0.003). OAGB is more effective in improving glycaemic control and %EWL, with almost immediate resolution of diabetes, as well as long-term weight loss.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin and glimepiride in treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design: It was an observational open comparative study. Study Settings: This study was conducted at Department of Pharmacology over 1 year from March 2017 to March 2018 at DHQ Teaching Hospital, Kohat. Material and Methods: Sixty (60) patients were enrolled in the study meeting the inclusion criteria. Tablet glimipiride 1 mg and sitagliptin 100 mg was used as the treatment option. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: group Glimepiride (30 patients; administered glimepiride 2 mg daily) and group Sitagliptin (30 patients; administered sitagliptin 100 mg daily). If glycemic control was not reached then patient was excluded from the study and given further treatment for benefit of the patient. The samples of blood were taken at 12 weeks visit to test HbA1c level, fating blood sugar (FBG) and post prandial glucose (PPG) level. At the time of follow up patient were evaluated for efficacy, safety and tolerability. All collected data was entered then analysed in SPSS version 19.0. Results: A total of 60 patients were enrolled into the study, with 30 in each group. Mean age in sitagliptin group (A) was 45 years, while that of glimeperide group (B) was 47 years. There were 16 males and 14 females in group A, 18 males and 12 females in group B. We found a significant reduction of HbA1C and BMI in group S taking sitagliptin as compared to glimeperide group. (p<0.05) Reduction in FBS was comparable in both the groups. (p>0.05). Side effects in both the groups mostly included hypoglycemia, and vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. These side effects were mild and did not need stoppage of medication or resulted in drop outs. Conclusion: Sitagliptin as an adjunct to present monotherapy with metformin showed significant drop out in HbA1c, PPG and FBG values after treatment of 12 weeks and was non inferior to glimepiride. However, no sitagliptin taking patients observed any episodes of hypoglycemia. Also weight loss was observed in sitagliptin group as compared to glimepiride group..
