Abstract Context In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (GLP-RA) dulaglutide reduced HbA1c and body weight, but generalizability of such findings to real-world T2D patients is challenging. Objective We evaluated effectiveness of dulaglutide in routine clinical practice, especially in subgroups of patient that are underrepresented in RCTs. Design Retrospective multicenter study. Setting Diabetes outpatient clinics. Patients and intervention All consecutive patients who initiated dulaglutide between 2015 and 2018. Main outcome measures Changes in HbA1c and body weight were assessed up to 30 months after baseline. Effectiveness was analyzed in patient subgroups according to: prior use of GLP-1RA, persistence on treatment and dose, age, sex, disease duration, renal function, obesity, cardiovascular disease, or concomitant use of insulin or sulphonylurea. Results From a background population of 83,116 patients, 2084 initiated dulaglutide (15.3% switching from another GLP-1RA), 1307 of whom had at least 1 follow-up visit. Overall, dulaglutide reduced HbA1c by 1.0% and body weight by 2.9 kg at the end of observation. These effects were more pronounced in GLP-1RA-naïve patients and in those with shorter disease duration. Improvement in HbA1c was highly significant and consistent across all subgroups, including those aged ≥ 75 years, nonobese, or with chronic kidney disease. Body weight declined in all subgroups and significantly more with the 1.5-mg versus 0.75-mg dose. Conclusions In real-world T2D patients, effectiveness of dulaglutide on HbA1c and body weight reduction was highly consistent and significant even in subgroups of patients poorly represented in RCTs.

Background: Metformin-induced vitamin B12 deficiency state or metformin-induced hypocobalaminemia is gradually becoming an epidemic among diabetic patients on moderate-to-high doses of metformin or those diabetic patients on metformin for a long period of time. The potential effect of chronic metformin pharmacotherapy to cause vitamin B12 deficiency with abnormalities in haematologic indices and central/peripheral neuropathy has been widely reported. Long-term usage of metformin has been reported to be associated with intestinal malabsorption of vitamin B12 culminating in vitamin B12 deficiency with likely associated haematologic abnormalities (including macro-ovalocytic anaemia and immune dysfunctioning due to hypersegmentation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes), central/peripheral neuropathy and manifestation of biochemical derangements such as elevated homocysteine and methyl malonate levels. Aim: This study aimed to determine the correlation between serum vitamin B12 levels and various haematologic indices among metformin-treated type 2 diabetic patients in a clinical practice setting with the rational purpose of alleviating/preventing the associated derangements. Materials and Methods: This was a case-control, prospective, analytical, observational study of 200 adult participants (100 per group) attending the Endocrinology Out-patients Clinic of Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua, Edo State, Nigeria. For each participant, serum vitamin B12 level was determined using a vitamin B12 immunoassay technique, while the corresponding complete blood count was done using PCE-210N autohaematology analyser. Data were presented using tables and figures. Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables, Student t-test was used in comparing means of continuous variables, while Pearson’s correlation study was done to determine the existence of any statistically significant correlation(s) between the serum vitamin B12 levels and various haematologic indices among the participants. Results: Approximately 41% versus 20% of the metformin-treated and metformin-naive diabetic patients, respectively, had frank vitamin B12 deficiency. There was a statistical difference between the total serum vitamin B12 levels in male and female diabetic patients with p = 0.048. Also, statistically significant differences existed with respect to mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin and total white blood cells count among the metformin-treated and metformin-naive diabetic patients. Furthermore, a statistically significant weak positive correlation existed between pack cell volume (PCV) and serum vitamin B12 level ( r = +0.148, p = 0.037), but a statistically significant weak negative correlation existed between MCV and serum vitamin B12 level ( r = −0.245, p = 0.0001). In addition, the test for associations between the serum vitamin B12 categorization status or metformin exposure status and the peripheral neuropathy components assessment revealed that there were statistically significant associations between the serum vitamin B12 categorization status or metformin exposure status versus pain sense ( p < 0.0001 or <0.001), vibration sense ( p < 0.0001 or <0.001) and light touch sense ( p < 0.0001 or <0.001) among the participants. Conclusion: In this study, statistically significant weak positive and weak negative correlations existed between serum vitamin B12 level versus PCV, and serum vitamin B12 level versus MCV, respectively. The peripheral neuropathy components assessment revealed that there were statistically significant associations between the serum vitamin B12 categorization status or metformin exposure status versus pain sense, vibration sense and light touch sense among the participants.

Abstract Background Progression of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients is a factor that determines the prognosis of life. Empagliflozin and canagliflozin, two oral diabetic SGLT-2 inhibitors, have shown improved renal outcomes in type 2 diabetic patients with chronic kidney disease in a large clinical study. These results suggest that SGLT-2 inhibitors could be used not only for hypoglycemic effects, but also for renal protective effects in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is not fully understood in which contexts the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors is likely to exert its renal protective effects. The purpose of this study was to clarify the profiles of patients in whom SGLT-2 inhibitors are more likely to exert a renal protective effect in clinical practice. We examined renal function and urinary albumin changes in short-term use of SGLT-2 inhibitors by patient background. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the medical record information of sixty-three type 2 diabetic patients (33 males, 30 females, average age 53.0 ± 13.0 years) who were given usual doses of a SGLT-2 inhibitor. We investigated changes in body weight, blood pressure, glucose metabolism index, lipid metabolism index, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, UACR) three months before and after administration of a SGLT-2 inhibitor. Results Three months after administration of an SGLT-2 inhibitor, there were improvements in glucose tolerance, weight loss, blood pressure, and lipid indices. In all cases, there was no significant change in eGFR, but UACR decreased significantly. UACR decreased regardless of Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker medication and significantly decreased in nephropathy patients with microalbuminuria or overt albuminuria. UACR decreased only in the group in which blood pressure, body weight, and hemoglobin A1c decreased before and after administration of the SGLT-2 inhibitor. Conclusions Our study shows that the renoprotective effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors are more likely to be exerted in diabetic nephropathy patients who have advanced to at least microalbuminuria stage, and in addition to direct renal protection, the comprehensive effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors, which lower body weight, blood pressure, and blood glucose, are also important for their renal protection effects.

Methods We retrospectively analyzed the chart information of sixty-three type 2 diabetic patients (33 males, 30 females, average age 53.0 ± 13.0 years) who were given usual doses of a SGLT-2 inhibitor. We investigated changes in body weight, blood pressure, glucose metabolism index, lipid metabolism index, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, UACR) three months before and after administration of a SGLT-2 inhibitor.

In all cases, there was no significant change in eGFR, but UACR decreased significantly.

UACR decreased only in the group in which blood pressure, body weight, and HbA1c decreased before and after administration of the SGLT-2 inhibitor. Conclusions Our study shows that SGLT-2 inhibitors are independent of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, and in addition to direct renal protection, the comprehensive effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors, which lower body weight, blood pressure, and blood glucose, are also important for their renal protection effects.
