Effect of octreotide on glucose tolerance in acromegaly

Abstract: To determine the effect of the somatostatin analog octreotide on glucose tolerance in acromegaly, we examined glucose profiles, oral glucose tolerance and the insulinogenic index in patients treated with this analog. Ninety patients participated in a long-term, prospective, open-label study. There was no significant change between mean daily blood glucose profiles at baseline or during octreotide treatment. Using glucose tolerance test criteria, 61% of 90 patients had normal baseline glucose tolerance. While o… Show more

“…Em pacientes com glicemias inicialmente normais foi descrita piora da tolerância à glicose em 20% a 48% (18,43,44) e evolução para DM em 29% (18). Não parece haver correlação entre a dose do octreotide e a mudança no metabolismo da glicose.…”
