Effect of iGlarLixi on continuous glucose monitoring—measured time in range in insulin‐naive adults with suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Single-arm interventional study

Authors' conclusion

In people with T2D suboptimally controlled on ≥2 OADs ± GLP-1 RAs, 16 weeks of treatment with iGlarLixi significantly improved TIR and reduced TAR without severe hypoglycaemia.
