1214-P: Effect of Short-Term Improvements in Glycemic Control with SGLT2 Inhibitor Therapy on Insulin and Glucagon Secretion: How Does It Differ With or Without Concurrent DPP-4 Inhibitor Therapy

Abstract

Objective: We investigated the effect of short-term improvements in glycemic control with SGLT2i therapy on insulin and glucagon secretion with or without concurrent DPP-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) therapy. Patients and Methods: 78 type 2 diabetic patients admitted for glycemic control and subjected to meal tolerance tests (MTT) on the next day after admission and immediately before discharge using the same diabetes diet while off treatment were subjected to retrospective analysis. Of these, 41 patients were found to have received SGLT2i after admission, with 15 of these also found to have received concurrent DPP-4i. The patients were divided into those not receiving SGLT2i (n=37), those receiving SGLT2i without concurrent DPP-4i (n=26) and those receiving SGLT2i with DPP-4i (n=15) and were compared for changes in postprandial insulin and glucagon secretion. All patients were evaluated at admission and discharge for insulin secretion in terms of ΔCPR/ΔPG 0-30 min and AUC-CPR 0-2h, and as well as for glucagon (G) secretion in terms of ΔG/ΔPG 0-30 min and AUC-G 0-2h during the MTT. Results: There was no significant difference between the 3 groups in their HbA1c, C-peptide index, and urinary CPR excretion at admission. With improvements in glycemic control, ΔCPR/ΔPG 0-30min and AUC-CPR 0-2h were significantly increased, and AUC-PG 0-2h were significantly decreased, in all groups. Again, with improvements in glycemic control, AUC-G 0-2h was significantly decreased in those not receiving SGLT2i, increased in those receiving SGLT2i without DPP-4i, and decreased in those receiving both SGLT2i and DPP-4i. Conclusions: Postprandial insulin secretion was shown to be restored after short-term improvements in glycemic control irrespective of SGLT2i or concurrent DPP-4i, while glucagon secretion was shown to be increased with SGLT2i without DPP-4i but decreased with combined SGLT2i and DPP-4i.
