Abstract The management of patients with type 2 diabetes is a complex process that must be individualized and be patient centered. The aim of this study was to assess the metabolic control, the annual incidence and crude prevalence of hypoglycemia, hospitalization, and complications among patients with type 2 diabetes initiating second-line therapy. This study is an observational, longitudinal, prospective study as a part of the multinational DISCOVERing Treatment Reality of Type 2 Diabetes in Real World Settings (DISCOVER) study, that recruited 519 patients with type 2 diabetes who were non-insulin users, aged ≥18 years, and switching to second-line therapy. The cohort was clinically evaluated over three years of follow up. Fear of hypoglycemia was assessed using the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS II), while the quality of life was assessed using SF36v2 questionnaire. Using second-line therapy improved metabolic control but the annual incidence of microangiopathies were at 61/1000 patient-years, 47/1000 patient-years, and 4/1000 patient-years for neuropathy, retinopathy, and nephropathy, respectively. The incidence of hypoglycemia was 57/1000 patient-years, where 50% were recurrent during the three-years period. The HFS II showed a significant increase in patients’ worries related to hypoglycemia. The incidence of hospitalization was 31/1000 patient-years, out of which 8/1000 patient-years were related to cardiovascular events, mainly myocardial infarction. Moderate metabolic control was associated with lower incidence of macro angiopathy and an increased incidence and fear of hypoglycemia, while it was associated with improved mental component score when assessing the patients’ quality of life. The treating physician’s decision of treatment intensification should be individualized with consideration of befits of good glycemic control versus the risk of hypoglycemia, especially in elderly patients.

Abstract Background and Aims The latest consensus report by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) recommends metformin and lifestyle intervention as first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes. Second-line therapy recommendation is the use sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT 2) inhibitors (if estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] is adequate) or GLP-1 receptor agonists if eGFR is inadequate (or SGLT-2 inhibitors not tolerated). No recommendation is made for dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Therapy choices are limited for patients with both type 2 diabetes and moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is unclear from published data if observed cardiovascular benefits of new anti-diabetic agents extend to the CKD cohort. The aim of this study was to undertake a systematic review of all published CVOT trials using new anti-diabetic agents (GLP-1 receptor agonist, DPP-4 inhibitor, SGLT 2 inhibitor). Method We searched MEDLINE (via PubMed and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) up to 1st December 2019. Data was stratified by trial entry eGFR into normal (eGFR ≥60 ml/min) and CKD (eGFR <60 ml/min), with data extracted for primary major cardiovascular event (MACE) rates such as cardiovascular death, stroke and/or myocardial infarct. A meta-analysis with random effects model was performed to estimate overall hazard ratios (HRs) for MACE with new anti-diabetic agents stratified by eGFR. Inter-study heterogeneity was assessed with the I2 index and Cochran’s Q test. Results We analysed 13 studies from 16 that were eligible after our search strategy, with 2 excluded due lack of data stratified by eGFR and 1 excluded due to combined MACE/renal outcomes. The studies (GLP-1 agonists, n=6; DPP-4 inhibitors, n=4; SGLT 2 inhibitors, n=3) had a combined total of 128,266 participants (22.1% with eGFR <60 ml/min). HR for MACE with GLP-1 agonists for participants with eGFR ≥60 ml/min was 0.87 (95% CI 0.77-0.98; p=0.02) and for participants with eGFR <60 ml/min was 0.90 (95% CI 0.78-1.04; p=0.14). HR for MACE with DPP-4 inhibitors for participants with eGFR ≥60 ml/min was 0.99 (95% CI 0.92-1.07; p=0.86) and for participants with eGFR <60 ml/min was 0.99 (95% CI 0.91-1.08; p=0.86). HR for MACE with SGLT 2 inhibitors for participants with eGFR ≥60 ml/min was 0.98 (95% CI 0.88-1.10; p=0.78) and for participants with eGFR <60 ml/min was 0.82 (95% CI 0.70-0.96; p=0.01). Significant heterogeneity was observed in the meta-analyses for each new anti-diabetic therapy drug class stratified by eGFR. Conclusion Among the new anti-diabetic agents, our study suggests efficacy for prevention of MACE in the setting of CKD exists only for SGLT 2 inhibitors and not with GLP-1 receptor agonists or DPP-4 inhibitors. Targeted CVOT studies incorporating participants with diabetes and CKD are critical to guide glycaemic management in these high-risk patients. Until then, we suggest recommendations for second-line therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes and renal impairment should be amended to reflect the current evidence base supporting prevention of MACE with SGLT 2 inhibitors versus other new anti-diabetic agents.
