Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of liraglutide on glycemic control in metformin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Twenty patients with T2DM by maximum tolerated dose of mefformin in this study.For at least 3 months,participants were treated by addingliraglutide.After 1 week,the dosage of liraglutide was increased to 1.2 mg for 3 months from 0.6 mg.Patients' blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),islet function,blood lipid and body weight were observed.Results Compared with before treatment,there were significant change of fasting blood glucose ((8.9 ± 1.4) mmol/L vs.(6.9 ± 1.0) mmol/L,t =5.951,P ＜0.01),postprandial blood glucose ((14.4 ±1.5) mmol/L vs.(10.4 ± 1.4) mmol/L,t =8.878,P ＜ 0.01)),HbA1 c ((8.7 ± 1.3) ％ vs.(7.6 ± 1.1) ％,t =4.860,P ＜0.01),fasting C peptide ((1.7 ±0.6) mg/L vs.(2.9 ± 1.1) mg/L,t =5.752,P ＜ 0.01) and postprandial2 h C peptide ((5.0 ±2.3) mg/L vs.(10.2 ±3.5) mg/L,t =5.667,P ＜0.01) after treatment.Significant change of blood liquid and body weight were also observed after treatment than before treatment (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Liraglutide treatment resulted in persistent better glycaemic control,weight reduction,improvements of blood lipid and function of pancreatic island successfully.Liraglutide was also associated with low risk of hypoglycemic and should be chosen by patients with T2DM.
