Effect of Different Interventions on Glycemic Control and β-cell Function in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic Patients

June 11, 2013 updated by: Jianping Weng, Sun Yat-sen University

Comparison of Exenatide, Insulin or Pioglitazone on Glycaemic Control and β-cell Function in Drug-naïve Type 2 Diabetic Patients: A Multicentre Randomized Parallel-group Trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the effects of different interventions (1. exenatide, 2. insulin, 3. thiazolidinedione) on glycemic control and β-cell function in newly diagnosed drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

One of the fundamental defects in type 2 diabetes mellitus is declining β-cell function. Exenatide targets multiple metabolic disturbances in type 2 diabetes and exerts direct effects on β-cell, which indicates that it may not only contribute to the glucose control but also delay disease progression. There are trials demonstrated efficacy, safety and tolerability of exenatide. However, no study has compared the effects of exenatide with other hypoglycemic therapies with β cell protective function in newly diagnosed and drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients. This current study is thus designed to evaluate the effects of exenatide, insulin and pioglitazone on glycemic control and β-cell function in newly diagnosed drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients.
