The Effect of DPP4 Inhibitor on Glycemic Variability in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Twice Daily Premixed Human Insulin
Abstract
The investigators conducted a prospective study in patients with T2DM on twice daily MHI with or without metformin therapy. Blinded continuous glucose monitoring was performed at baseline and following 6 weeks of Vildagliptin therapy.
Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2.
Primary outcome: Changes in mean amplitude of glycemic excursions in mmol/L, Standard deviation of the mean glucose levels in mmol/L, M value in mmol/L, Mean absolute glucose in mmol/L, Continuous overlapping net glycemic action in mmol/L, Lability index in mmol/L.
Enrollment: 12 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 12 participants or records.
