Effects of Vildagliptine and Glimepiride on Glucose Variability

November 19, 2015 updated by: Hye Seung Jung, Seoul National University Hospital

Effects of Vildagliptine and Glimepiride on Glycemic Variability and Cardiovascular Parameters in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes by CGMS

The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences of blood sugar level and glycemic variability between sulfonylurea and DPP-4 inhibitor groups applying CGMS for a chosen number of type 2 DM patients. The investigators also reveal influences of each drugs on cardiovascular risk factors by measuring related biomarkers.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Detailed Description

We enroll patients with type 2 DM with uncontrolled glucose level on Metformin monotherapy over 1000mg /day (HbA1C over 7%).

Before drug administration, we conduct basal lab study including CGMS. After 3 month of random administration of vildagliptin or glimepiride, we check CGMS, glucose levels, CV biomarkers, and estimate hypoglycemic index. We replace with the other drug for 3 months, and then conduct the same measurements. No wash-out period is necessary since result variables are measured after the 3 months of administration for a different drug.
