A Clinical Trial to Maintain Glycemic Control in Youth with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: BACKGROUND Despite the increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in youth, there are few data to guide treatment. We compared the efficacy of three treatment regimens to achieve durable glycemic control in children and adolescents with recent-onset type 2 diabetes. METHODS Eligible patients 10 to 17 years of age were treated with metformin (at a dose of 1000 mg twice daily) to attain a glycated hemoglobin level of less than 8% and were randomly assigned to continued treatment with metformin alone or to metfor… Show more

“…This rapid decline in β-cell function makes the treatment of the increasing number of children diagnosed with T2D more difficult than in adults. For example, children have greater failure rates than adults when using oral therapy with metformin alone, making them more likely than adults to require insulin-based treatment [35]. Being diagnosed with T2D as a child also increases the chance of developing other complications early in life.…”

“…No oral agent should be used during pregnancy. The use of rosiglitazone has been studied in a randomized trial in adolescents compared to lifestyle intervention and metformin in the TO-DAY study [63] : Monotherapy with metformin was associated with durable glycemic control in approximately half of children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The addition of rosiglitazone, but not an intensive lifestyle intervention, was superior to metformin alone.…”

“…12 Differences in metabolic responses to glucose-lowering agents (eg, insulin, metformin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors) have been observed across racial and ethnic groups. [13][14][15] Most currently available therapies for T2DM have an insulin-dependent mode of action. Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a novel class of drugs that treat T2DM through an insulin-independent mechcently included in the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Standards of Medical Care as an additional treatment option for T2DM to be used as second-or third-line therapy.…”
