Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of sitagliptin and glimepiride on early-phase insulin secretion in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes over 52 weeks.*
- A total of 171 patients were randomly assigned to either treatment group, and results showed that those on sitagliptin had a significantly higher insulinogenic index and better glucose control during tests compared to those on glimepiride.*
- Overall, sitagliptin was more effective in improving insulin secretion without changing body weight or causing significant hypoglycemia, indicating it may be a preferable treatment option for managing type 2 diabetes in this population.*
