Objective To compare the effect of sitagliptin (100 mg) vs glimepiride (1–3 mg) as add-on therapy in Indian type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients on treatment with insulin and metformin (SWIM study). Research design and methods This 24-week, controlled, open-label study randomized T2DM patients (n = 440) receiving a stable dose of metformin and insulin combination therapy to sitagliptin (100 mg) or glimepiride (1–3 mg) as add-on therapy. Baseline HbA1c was ≥7.3% and ≤8.5%. After a 6-week titration period for glimepiride (dose titrated every 2 weeks by 1 mg up to a maximum of 3 mg daily), patients were continued for 18 weeks on their respective tolerable doses of glimepiride (ranging from 1 mg to 3 mg) or sitagliptin (100 mg) along with metformin and insulin. Results Greater reductions in HbA1c and TDD of insulin were achieved with sitagliptin compared to glimepiride. HbA1c targets and reductions in TDD were achieved by more patients on sitagliptin than on glimepiride. Reductions in both body weight and BMI were also noted among patients on sitagliptin when compared to those on glimepiride, and more hypoglycemic events occurred with glimepiride treatment than with sitagliptin. Conclusions Sitagliptin (100 mg), when compared to glimepiride (1–3 mg), bestowed beneficial effects to T2DM patients in terms of achieving greater glycemic control and also brought significant reductions in total daily dose of insulin required, bodyweight, BMI and hypoglycemic events. Overall, the results suggest that sitagliptin (100 mg) is a superior agent over glimepiride (1–3 mg) as an add-on to insulin–metformin therapy among Asian Indians with T2DM.

Insulin therapy is frequently required to achieve glycemic targets (A1c) in type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, clinicians and patients face barriers with the complexities of multiple daily injection regimens. Patch-like wearable insulin devices, such as V-Go, may simplify and optimize this complexity. This study evaluated the change in A1C and insulin total daily dose (TDD) in a suboptimally-controlled (not achieving A1C targets) T2D population after switching to V-Go. A retrospective chart analysis at a diabetes clinic was performed to evaluate change in A1c measurements from baseline (V-Go initiation) to end of study observation. Of the 139 patients enrolled, A1C significantly decreased from baseline (−1.5 ± 1.79%; p < 0.001). Patients prescribed insulin at baseline (n = 122) used significantly less insulin TDD (−8 u/day; p = 0.006). The percentage of patients meeting the target of A1C < 8% increased from 14% at baseline to 48% at study completion (p = 0.008). Patients prescribed a basal-bolus regimen prior to V-Go achieved an A1C reduction of 1.5 ± 2.0% (p < 0.0001) and experienced the greatest reduction in TDD (−24 u/day; p < 0.0001). Thus, patients switching to V-Go from a variety of therapies at baseline experienced reductions in A1C while using less insulin, with a reduction in clinically relevant hypoglycemia, indicating the potential benefit of V-Go in optimizing and simplifying T2D care.

Background:Type-2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are two chronic diseases characterized by tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. To date, no data have evaluated the influence of RA-induced joint and systemic inflammation on the course of type-2 diabetes.Objectives:To study the impact of RA on type-2 diabetesMethods:Observational, multicenter, cross-sectional usual-care study, including 7 rheumatology centers. This study included over a 24-month period consecutive patients with type-2 diabetes and RA, fulfilling the 2010 ACR / EULAR criteria, and diabetic controls with osteoarthritis (OA). The following data were collected: demographics, disease activity and severity indices, current treatment for RA and diabetes, history and complications of diabetes. A systematic blood test was performed, assessing inflammatory (CRP levels) and metabolic (fasting glycemia and insulin levels, HbA1c) parameters. The HOMA2%B (insulin secretion) and HOMA2%S (tissue insulin sensitivity) indices (HOMA calculator, © Diabetes Trials Unit, University of Oxford) were used to assess insulin resistance. Ra and OA patients were compared using parametric tests after adjusting for age and BMI. A multivariate logistic regression was performed ti identify factors independently associated with insulin resistance.Results:We included 122 RA patients (74% women, mean age 64+/-11 years, mean disease duration 15+/-11 11 years, 75% with positive ACPA antibodies and 64% with erosive disease) and 54 controls with OA. 64% of RA patients were treated with oral corticosteroids <10 mg/day, 65% received methotrexate and 53% received targeted biological therapies.The characteristics of type-2 diabetes in the 54 OA patients corresponded to severe insulin-resistant diabetes: age> 65 years, high BMI> 30 kg/m2, mean HbA1c 7.3%+/-11 1.3%, 30% of insulin requirement, high frequency of other cardiovascular risk factors, macroangiopathy found in almost half of patients and biological criteria of insulin resistance (elevation of HOMA2%B and decrease of HOMA2%S).RA patients with type-2 diabetes had a younger age (64+/-11 years vs. 68+/-12 years, p=0.031) and lower BMI (27.7+/-11 5.5 vs. 31.5+/-11 6.3, p<0.001). These patients also had severe diabetes (HbA1c 7.0%+/-11 1.2%, 29% of insulin requirement, 43% of macroangiopathy) with an insulin resistance profile identical to OA controls. After adjusting for age and BMI, RA patients had a significantly increased insulin secretion compared to OA patients (HOMA2%B: 83.1+/-11 65.2 vs. 49.3+/-11 25.7, p=0.023) as well as a significant reduction of insulin sensitivity (HOMA2%S: 61.1+/-11 31.6 vs. 92.9+/-11 68.1, p=0.016). This insulin resistance was associated with the inflammatory activity of RA, with a negative correlation between the HOMA2%S and the DAS28 (r=-0.28, p=0.027). The multivariate logistic regression confirmed the independent association between the HOMA2%S index and DAS28 (OR: 3.93, 95% CI 1.02-15.06), as well as high blood pressure (OR: 1.29, 95% CI 0.33-1.99 CI).Conclusion:RA patients with type-2 diabetes displayed severe, poorly controlled diabetes, highlighting the burden of comorbidities associated with RA. The clinical-biological profile of diabetic RA patients was severe insulin-resistant diabetes, with a biological profile of insulin resistance linked to the inflammatory activity of the disease. These findings may have therapeutic implications, with the potential targeting of insulin resistance through the treatment of joint and systemic inflammation.Acknowledgments:Société Française de Rhumatologie (research grant)Bristol Myers Squibb (research grant)Disclosure of Interests:Jérôme Avouac Grant/research support from: Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, Consultant of: Sanofi, Bristol Myers Squibb, Abbvie, Boerhinger, Nordic Pharma, Speakers bureau: Sanofi, Bristol Myers Squibb Abbvie, MSD, Pfizer, Nordic Pharma, Muriel ELHAI: None declared, Marine Forien: None declared, Jérémie SELLAM: None declared, Florent Eymard Consultant of: Regenlab, Anna Moltó Grant/research support from: Pfizer, UCB, Consultant of: Abbvie, BMS, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Laure Gossec Grant/research support from: Lilly, Mylan, Pfizer, Sandoz, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, Celgene, Janssen, Lilly, Novartis, Pfizer, Sandoz, Sanofi-Aventis, UCB, Frédéric Banal: None declared, Joel Daminano: None declared, Philippe Dieudé: None declared, Yannick Allanore Shareholder of: Sanofi, Roche, Consultant of: Actelion, Bayer, BMS, Boehringer Ingelheim, Inventiva, Sanofi
