Type 2 & other diabetes

Effect of dapagliflozin on 24-hour glycemic variables in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving basal insulin supported oral therapy (DBOT): a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study

BMJ Open Diabetes Res CarePublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

This study showed that the mean daily blood glucose and other daily glucose profiles were amended after 48-72 hours of dapagliflozin add-on in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who received BOT. The diabetes-related biochemical variables such as HbA1c and urinary 8OHdG were also obtained during the 12 weeks of dapagliflozin add-on without major adverse events. A preferable 24-hour glucose profile in 'time in ranges' and an improvement in reactive oxygen species by dapagliflozin warrant us to evaluate these benefits in larger clinical studies.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Mean daily glucose (CGM)
Dapagliflozin add-on: mean glucose decreased, 183-156 mg/dL
p=0.001

Secondary outcomes

Other CGM metrics in Dapagliflozin add-on · 48-72 hours

Maximum glucose decreased, 300-253
P < 0.01
SD glucose decreased, 57-45
P < 0.05
Time in range increased
P < 0.05
Time above range decreased with dapagliflozin add-on but not with no add-on

8OHdG and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) · 12 weeks

8OHdG and HbA1c decreased after dapagliflozin add-on
