Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in ART-naïve Ugandan individuals living with HIV after starting dolutegravir (DTG) treatment for 48 weeks.
- Among 243 participants, the incidence of T2DM was low, with only 1 case reported, while there was a significant occurrence of pre-diabetes (54 cases). Blood glucose levels showed notable changes, indicating fluctuations independent of traditional T2DM risk factors.
- The findings suggest that, despite concerns, initiating DTG treatment in this population may not substantially increase T2DM risk within the first year, though monitoring is still advised for those with risk factors.
