- Original description
Medications that enhance the incretin effect (GLP-1 receptor agonists, tirzepatide (GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist) and DPP-4 inhibitors) are used in treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 agonists and tirzepatide not only effectively lower blood glucose levels but also promote weight loss-primarily by stimulating the satiety center in the central nervous system - and reduce cardiovascular risk. Evidence suggests that oral pancreatin supplementation also enhances the incretin effect by increasing GIP and GLP-1 concentrations, and consequently insulin levels, which translates into a reduction in postprandial glycemia in patients with cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis. In our study we aim to evaluate the impact of pancreatin on the incretin effect and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes without exocrine pancreatic insufficiency.Read full original descriptionShow less
