Improvement of early‐phase insulin secretion is an independent factor for achieving glycaemic control: A pooled analysis of SEED and DAWN study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Pooled analysis of the SEED and DAWN studies

Authors' conclusion

Restoring the impaired early-phase insulin secretion function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is a critical factor for improving the glycaemic control by dorzagliatin treatment.

  • Early-phase rather than late-phase insulin secretion contributed significantly
