Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 452 patients with T2D in Tehran, Iran, performed between September 2019 and September 2020. We assessed the diabetes laboratory test and vitamin D3 level in all participants using the Enzymatic Glucose Oxidase method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24. Results: a total of 452 patients were enrolled in this study (mean age: 59.4 ± 11.4 years, 63.5% females). Vitamin D deficiency was reported in half of the partici -pants. Deficient vitamin D was significantly associated with higher mean level of hemoglobin A1c, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p < 0.05). Multiple regression showed that the level of vitamin D3 could be a good predictor of hemoglobin A1c after adjusting for confounding variables affecting the hemoglobin A1c (regression coefficient: 0.442, 95% CI, 0.072–0.811, p = 0.063). Conclusions: With the alarming rates of vitamin D deficiency in patients with T2D, there was a significant direct association between vitamin D3 and hemoglobin A1c levels before and after adjusting for the associated factors.

Due to the multifaceted characterization of fatty liver and no effective treatment, this study was aimed to assess the protective effect of a polysaccharide in NAFL patients. Materials and methods: Polysaccharide fraction was isolated from Rosa canina and administered to 33 NAFL patients for 90 days. Demographic information, liver ultrasonography, and the activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) enzymes were studied. Data were analyzed with the use of SPSS version 21 (SPSS, Inc.) All data were shown as means ± SDs and p < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: After 90-day prescription, the weight loss, reduced activity of ALT and AST as well as changing the echogenicity of the liver from grades of 3, 2, and 1 to 2, 1 and normal, respectively, were observed in patients compared to the baseline (p ≤ 0.05). In ad-dition, there were no visible side effects in patients during drug consumption. Conclusions: The data indicated that polysaccharide fraction with no obvious side effects is significantly able to protect the liver from steatosis in patients with NAFL disease. However, further information is required to better conclude on the effectiveness of the isolated polysaccharide as a promising fatty liver drug.

The current review provides an overview of GLP-1 RAs and the opinion of a group of healthcare practitioners (HCPs) and independent consultants across India on the evidence for using GLP-1 RAs and its applicability to the Indian population. Materials and methods: A panel of eight HCPs met virtually on December 12–13, 2020 met as part of the Diabetes Research Society (DIABAID). They examined and critically discussed the current research on the use of GLP-1 RAs in the management of T2DM. Results: The panel observed that recent diabetes guidelines and recommendations have shifted toward a more individualised and CV risk-focused approach to T2DM management. They proposed that 1) GLP-1 RAs are ideal cardio-metabolic drugs that address multiple aspects of the T2DM; 2) to bring up GLP-1 RAs as early treatment option in discussions with patients; 3) in T2DM patients with a high CV risk or established ASCVD, CKD, or HF, GLP-1 RAs with proven CVD benefits should be initiated; 4) including oral semaglutide in international treatment recommendation guidelines to improve patient and HCP understanding and adaptability; and 5) patient-physician dialogues will be critical in incorporating GLP-1 RAs earlier in the treatment paradigm for effective T2DM management. Conclusions: The recommendations on using GLP-1 RAs and the associated benefits and risks of these drugs comprise essential considerations for using such medications in the Indian population.

Singh","doi":"10.5603/dk.a2022.0027","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5603/dk.a2022.0027","url":null,"abstract":"Gemigliptin (LC15-0444) is a competitive, reversible (fast association and slow dissociation), selective (> 3000-fold against DPP-8/9), and long-acting (halflife 30.8 hours) dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, first approved for clinical use by the Korean Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012. It has been approved to be taken orally, with or without food, at a dose of 50 mg once daily, either as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs, and no dose adjustment is required in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. While DPP-4 inhibition with gemigliptin in experimental animal studies was found to be 80%, the fast association and slow dissociation kinetics of DPP-4 inhibition with gemigliptin were found to be albeit different compared with sitagliptin (fast on and fast off rate) and vildagliptin (slow on and slow off rate). Although the originator LG Life Sciences initially signed a licensing agreement with developers such as Sanofi (France) and Stendhal (Mexico) for 104 countries, gemigliptin has been currently approved in 11 countries including India, Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Russia, Mexico, and Thailand beside South Korea. In this issue of Clinical Diabetology, a real-world, 12-week, small study (n = 60), of gemigliptin by Sarkar et al. [1] from the Eastern part of India conducted during 2016–2017, reported a robust –1.25% (95% confidence interval, –1.59 to –0.92) HbA1c reduction with gemigliptin in people with type 2 diabetes (median age 52.2 years with a mean HbA1c of 9.5% and duration of diabetes of 8.6 years) on a background antidiabetic (mono, dual, triple combination) therapy but majorly (65%) on background metformin monotherapy. Moreover, 57% of patients achieved a target HbA1c of < 7% with the addition of gemigliptin. The larger HbA1c lowering effect of gemigliptin in this real-world study could be due to a higher baseline mean HbA1c of 9.5% but this appears to be > 2-fold higher than the HbA1c lowering effect observed in the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in Indian patients. In the subgroup analysis of a double-blind RCT [2], the HbA1c lowering effect of gemigliptin was lower in 108 Indian patients compared with 74 Korean patients (–0.55% vs. –0.94%, respectively) against placebo, despite a higher mean baseline HbA1c (including a higher percentage of patients with baseline HbA1c of > 8.5%) in Indians compared to the Koreans. This suggests real-world studies could often overestimate the effect size related to its inherent bias. Interestingly, the sojourn of gemigliptin did not last long (launched in India in April 2016) and it was withdrawn from India in July 2018 by the Sanofi for unknown or perhaps commercial reasons related to its cost. Notably, the cost of gemigliptin (not approved by the USA FDA and with no cardiovascular (CV) outcome trial (CVOT) conducted) was nearly similar to another DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin (US FDA-approved) with clean cardiovascular (CV) safety data shown in ","PeriodicalId":10386,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Diabetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82490332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lathia","doi":"10.5603/dk.a2022.0018","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5603/dk.a2022.0018","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: In recent times, traditional self-monitor-ing of blood glucose (SMBG) using fingerstick capillary samples is moving to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) due to inherent limitations of the traditional methods. CGM displays current glucose level, trends, rate of change, time-in-range (TIR), and glucose variability (GV) over a period of several days. It detects episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, which allows immediate response to prevent these episodes. It also allows physicians to provide a personalized glycemic response to the patients. Materials and methods: Though CGM systems have been available for more than 20 years, their use is quite low. It is challenging for clinicians to invest time in learning and understanding the diverse reports of the various CGM devices. Moreover, there is a lack of consensus on the frequency of TIR measurement. Hence. a review of the literature was performed and existing guidelines from India and abroad were reviewed for a need for CGM and its frequency of measurements in DM patients. Results: TIR is inversely correlated to the risk of mi crovascular and macrovascular complications. CGM is recommended by expert clinician consensus and national and international medical organizations. For the patients use of CGMs involves cost. Besides, there is the discomfort and inconvenience of wearing the device. Hence, defining the implications of using CGM in practice is important. According to the 2020 recommendations by the Research Society for the Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) — Endocrine Society of India (ESI) and the 2019 recommendations by an expert group of endocrinologists and diabetologists, in the Indian context, CGM could be suggested for patients with Type 2 Diabetes who encounter severe hyper glycemia or hypoglycemia, repeated hypoglycemia, asymptomatic hypoglycemia, nocturnal hypoglyce -mia, refractory hyperglycemia, or large blood glucose excursions. Conclusions: The role of CGM to achieve better glyce mic control and prevention of complications in T1D and T2D is well established. Significant education and awareness on CGM needs to be provided to physicians as well as patients with high GV and those on insulin therapy.
