Introduction: The effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on quality of life (QOL) and treatment satisfaction have not been directly compared. This sub-analysis of a randomized-controlled trial with an SGLT2i, luseogliflozin, and DPP-4is compared their effects on QOL and treatment satisfaction of patients.

Methods: This study recruited 623 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were drug-naïve or treated with antidiabetic agents other than SGLT2is and DPP-4is.

Introduction: Evidence of a direct comparison between dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) remains lacking, and no clear treatment strategy or rationale has been established using these drugs. This study aimed to compare the overall efficacy and safety of DPP-4is and the SGLT2i luseogliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Patients with T2DM who had not used antidiabetic agents or who had used antidiabetic agents other than SGLT2is and DPP-4is were enrolled in the study after written informed consent had been obtained.
