Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (DPP-4i) are widely used to treat Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and are known for their cardiovascular and renal safety profiles. Systematic reviews have also shown that DPP-4i are associated with reduced dementia risk via unknown mechanisms. To examine vildagliptin (DPP-4i) effects on the intestinal microbiota in T2D patients, plasma metabolomics were conducte…
This real-world study included patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who were poorly glycemic controlled on premixed insulin therapy and were subsequently added vildagliptin. The control group consisted of patients who only had their insulin doses adjusted without adding vildagliptin, matched for age, diabetic duration, HbA1c, and BMI. All patients underwent FGM, glycated hemoglobin(Hb…
The present GUARD study was a prospective, non-interventional study evaluating the clinical effectiveness, safety and tolerability of vildagliptin with or without metformin in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) studied in routine clinical practice. Patients were enrolled from countries across four geographical regions. The primary endpoint was change in glycated haemoglobin (Hb…
To compare continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) profiles on vildagliptin versus sitagliptin in addition to metformin, in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (HbA(1c) 6.5-8.0%).
DPP-4 inhibitors are frequently used as first-line agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Japan. This study aimed to examine the effects of vildagliptin on glucose metabolism and arterial stiffness. Twenty treatment-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes (8 males and 12 females) received vildagliptin 50 mg twice daily for 6 months. Self-monitored blood glucose measurements and a 75 g OGTT…
