SGLTi, Hepatic Glucose Production and Ketogenesis

Korábbi kezelés

• Patients treated with Thiazolidinediones (TZDs), or Insulin are excluded.

Laborértékek

• Patients taking medications other than Sulfonylureas/Metformin (SU/MET), stable dose of GLP1-RA and DPP4i known to affect glucose metabolism are excluded. Patients taking SGLT2i within 2 months of screening visit will be excluded from participating in this study, however they may be asked whether they would agree to discontinue the medication for two months to become eligible. (Please see clarification below.) \*
• Subjects with evidence of proliferative retinopathy or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 are excluded
• Women of childbearing potential are excluded unless they are taking/using appropriate contractive medications/devices \* Only participants who are taking SGLT2 inhibitors during the prescreening period will be asked to discontinue the medication at least two months prior to the screening visit. If they agree, they will return for an HbA1c measurement four weeks after stopping the SGLT2 inhibitor.
  • If their HbA1c rises to greater than 10%, treatment will be initiated with either metformin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, or a sulfonylurea. We do not anticipate any adverse effects during this initial period, provided the HbA1c remains below 10%.
  • HbA1c will be measured using a fingerstick test, which requires only a minimal amount of blood. No compensation will be provided during this phase.
  • After two months of medication discontinuation, participants will return for a screening visit. If they meet all eligibility criteria, they will be enrolled in the study and payment done by protocol.
