Comparative analysis of the drugs efficacy for carbohydrate metabolism early disorders (prediabetes) treatment: A review

Abstract

In the contemporary reality pharmacological correction of the early carbohydrate metabolism disorders is the main method for the type 2 diabetes prevention. Taking into account the main role of insulin resistance in the prediabetes development it can be supposed that pharmacological agents directly activating the insulin receptor are the pathogenic-base therapy for prediabetes treatment. Such kind of this pathogenic therapy is Subetta® – a representative of the class of biological drugs created using the based graduated technology. Due to the absent of the direct comparative trials of Subetta® versus metformin in the efficacy of the type 2 diabetes prevention in prediabetes patients, was performed an analysis of the effectiveness of these two drugs using the adjusted indirect comparison method of the results of the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial of Subetta® efficacy and safety in impaired glucose tolerance patients with the results of several metformin studies similar in inclusion and efficacy criteria. The results indicate greater Subetta® efficacy in the treatment of glucose intolerance and metformin's – in the impaired fasting glucose treatment, which can be explained by the differences in the action mechanisms of these two drugs for prediabetes treatment.
