Diabetes remission in drug‐naïve patients with type 2 diabetes after dorzagliatin treatment: A prospective cohort study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

In drug-naïve patients with T2D, dorzagliatin treatment leads to stable glycaemic control and drug-free diabetes remission. Improvements in β-cell function and TIR in these patients are important contributors to diabetes remission.
