Authors' conclusion

Modifying antiglycaemic treatment from a BOT regimen to iGlarLixi 100/33 in suboptimal controlled PwT2D in daily clinical practice improved glycaemic control without increasing hypoglycaemia and with favourable body weight change.

Use of DPP-4i

Use of DPP-4i significantly reduced, from baseline to follow-up

Derived time in range (TIR) and time above range (TAR) (7-point SMBG) · 24 weeks

TIR increased and TAR decreased to target ranges (all p < 0.05)

Flash glucose monitoring (20 patients)

Similar patterns for TIR and TAR; reduction in TBR

Safety

Hypoglycaemia · 24 weeks

Hypoglycaemia events did not change significantly and were low in number
No severe hypoglycaemia was reported
