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…
To compare continous glucose monitoring (CGM) profiles on vildagliptin versus sitagliptin in addition to metformin, in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus
The efficacy of once-weekly (OW) glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) has been estab- lished in several trials in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, real-world evidence on their effectiveness is limited. This study evaluated the effectiveness of OW GLP-1RA regarding glycemic and weight outcomes, and relative to DPP-4i in a comparator analysis.
Insulin is the gold standard for treatment of hyperglycemia during pregnancy, when lifestyle measures do not maintain glycemic control during pregnancy. However, recent studies have suggested that certain oral hypoglycemic agents (metformin and glyburide) may be safe and be acceptable alternatives. There are no serious safety concerns with metformin, despite it crossing the placenta.
The objective is to formulate clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of diabetes in older adults.
Hiperglikemia adalah suatu kondisi medik berupa peningkatan kadar glukosa dalam darah melebihi batas normal. Hiperglikemia merupakan salah satu tanda khas penyakit diabetes mellitus (DM), meskipun juga mungkin didapatkan pada beberapa keadaan yang lain. Saat ini penelitian epidemiologi menunjukkan adanya kecenderungan peningkatan angka insidensi dan prevalensi DM tipe-2 di berbagai penjuru du…
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…
At their recommended doses for severe RI, vildagliptin (50 mg once daily) compared with sitagliptin (25 mg once daily) demonstrated similar efficacy and both drugs were well tolerated. This study provides further support for the use of DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with severe RI
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the three dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (vildagliptin, sitagliptin, and linagliptin) as add-on therapy in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled on dual combination of insulin and metformin or acarbose
