Aim: To investigate acute effects of add-on therapy with the sodium glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitor tofogliflozin to dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors on 24-hour glucose profile and glycemic variability evaluated by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients and methods: We studied 17 patients with type 2 diabetes who were hospitalized for glycemic control. CGM was performed for 7 consecutive days in the last week of hospitalization. Tofogliflozin 20 mg/day was started on day 4 after initiating CGM and was administered to 10 patients receiving DPP-4 inhibitors and 7 patients not receiving DPP-4 inhibitors. We compared several CGM parameters between day 2 to 3 (ie, before treatment with tofogliflozin) and day 5 to 6 (ie, after starting treatment with tofogliflozin). Results: After starting treatment with tofogliflozin, mean 24-hour glucose and postprandial glucose after each meal were significantly decreased in both groups of patients. Time in range (ie, at a glucose level of 70-180 mg/dL) was significantly increased in both groups. The standard deviation of 24-hour glucose and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions, 2 indexes of glycemic variability, were significantly decreased in patients receiving DPP-4 inhibitors but were unchanged in those not receiving these drugs. Conclusions: Add-on therapy with tofogliflozin to DPP-4 inhibitors acutely reduces 24-hour glucose levels and improves glycemic variability in patients with type 2 diabetes.

IntroductionMortality and disability in diabetes mellitus are determined mostly by cardiovascular complications and cancer. The impact of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) monotherapy or combination on long-term complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus was studied.Research design and methodsPatients with type 2 diabetes treated with DPP-4i or SGLT2i during a 3-year period were identified in the database of the National Institute of Health Insurance Fund in Hungary. All-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization for heart failure (HHF), lower limb amputation (LLA) and cancer were assessed. Outcomes of add-on SGLT2i to DPP-4i treatment in comparison with switching DPP-4i therapy to SGLT2i were also evaluated. After propensity score matching, survival analysis was performed with a Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsAfter propensity score matching, both SGLT2i and DPP-4i groups included 18 583 patients. All-cause mortality (HR, 0.80; 95% CI 0.68 to 0.94; p=0.0057), HHF (HR, 0.81; 95% CI 0.71 to 0.92; p=0.0018), and risk of cancer (HR, 0.75; 95% CI 0.66 to 0.86; p<0.0001) were lower in the SGLT2i population compared with DPP-4i. Risk of LLA was higher in the SGLT2i group (HR, 1.35; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.77; p=0.0315). SGLT2i in combination with DPP-4i results in lower all-cause mortality (HR, 0.46; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.67; p=0.0001), with a lower trend in stroke, LLA, HHF and cancer, but without any statistical difference.ConclusionsSGLT2i treatment leads to a lower risk of overall mortality, HHF and cancer when compared with DPP-4i treatment. Adding SGLT2i to DPP-4i instead of switching from DPP-4i to SGLT2i further lowers the risk of all-cause mortality.
