We have evaluated the efficacy of dapagliflozin in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) without adequate control. We expected that adding dapagliflozin to this population on top of their base treatment would lower their HbA1c levels.We conducted a pragmatic, open, 24-week study of treatment with 10 mg of oral dapagliflozin in patients with DM1 and chronic hyperglycemia. We evaluated glycemic control, lipid profile, weight, and insulin dose. Safety was assessed by adverse event reporting.Fasting glucose levels decreased from 176.42 ± 45.33 mg/dL to 139.67 ± 44.42 mg/dL (p = 0.05); although no significant valued was reached, postprandial glucose showed a decreased tendency from 230.25 ± 52.06 mg/dL to 193.83 ± 45.43 mg/dL (p = 0.08). The hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) level decreased from 9.18 ± 1.02 (77 ± 11.1 mmol/mol) to 8.05 ± 1.09 % (64 ± 11.9 mmol/mol) (p = 0.0156); total cholesterol decreased from 299 ± 12 to 199 ± 7 mg/dL (p = 0.02); triglycerides decreased from 184 ± 15 to 160 ± 11 mg/dL (p = 0.0002), HDL-C decreased from 40 ± 17 to 42 ± 9 mg/dL (p = 0.54); and LDL-C decreased from 187 ± 19 to 170 ± 21 mg/dL (p = 0.049). No adverse events were reported.The beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on metabolic control and their safety after a 24-week open study demonstrate their potential indication as an adjunctive treatment with insulin in patients with DM1; however, long-term clinical trials should be considered.
There is a direct relationship between the ICER and the cost of EGFR testing, with an inverse relationship with the prevalence of EGFR-mutation. When prevalence is >10 % ICER remains constant. This study could impact Mexican and Latin American health policies regarding mutation detection testing and treatment for advanced NSCLC.
Rosuvastatin 10 and 20 mg/day significantly reduced triglycerides and improved atherogenic lipid profile in HTG Mexican patients. The main limitation was the short follow-up time period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
