Abstract
Aim
This study aims to investigate the optimal dose of metformin for controlling the transition to diabetes in patients diagnosed with prediabetes.
Methods
We systematically searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) from inception to February 2024. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 software.
Results
We included 25 randomized controlled trials comprising 2437 patients. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that compared to dose groups of 500 mg/d, 850 mg/d, 1000 mg/d, 1500 mg/d, 1700 mg/d, and 2000 mg/d, a dosage of 750 mg/d of metformin significantly reduced the incidence of diabetes in patients (risk ratio [RR] = 0.21, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.11, 0.41; p < 0.00001), lowered Postprandial Blood Glucose (PBG) (mean difference[MD] = −2.60, 95 % CI: −4.34, −0.86; p = 0.003), and promoted the normalization of blood glucose levels (RR = 2.13, 95 % CI: 1.68, 2.71; p < 0.00001). Regarding safety evaluation, no significant differences were identified among the various dose groups. In contrast, the cohort receiving a daily dosage of 750 mg demonstrated the most pronounced decrease in the incidence of adverse reactions.
Conclusion
Based on the efficacy and safety evaluation results, our findings suggest that a daily dosage of 750 mg of metformin may represent the optimal dose for controlling the progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
