Aim: To determine the influence of polymorphisms on the effects of metformin on HbA1c, daily dose of insulin and metformin plasma concentration. Methods: In a post hoc analysis of a 4.3 year placebo-controlled randomized trial with 390 patients with Type 2 diabetes already on insulin, we analyzed the influence of polymorphisms in genes coding for ATM and the transporters OCT1 and MATE1. Outcome measures were a combined HbA1c + daily dose of insulin Z score and metformin plasma concentrations.

Results: rs11212617 (ATM) was associated with an improved Z score and a lower metformin plasma concentration. In addition, the major allele of rs2289669 (MATE1) was also associated with an improved Z score.

Conclusion: The ATM SNP rs11212617 significantly affected the effect of metformin and metformin plasma concentration. Further research is needed to determine the clinical importance of these findings, in particular the effects on metformin plasma concentration.

Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) are the most prevalent causes of monogenic diabetes. MODY is an autosomal dominant condition with onset in childhood and young adulthood, while NDM is defined with diabetes onset within 6 months of age and can be caused by dominant, recessive, X-linked genes or by chromosomal abnormalities. Here, we describe a rare case of monogenic diabetes in a patient who is homozygous for an gene variant.

Objective: As the utilization of metformin for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) treatment continues to rise, a substantial segment of these patients will ultimately necessitate insulin during their therapeutic journey. Hence, assessing patients' clinical and laboratory attributes becomes invaluable in determining their likelihood of responding favorably to metformin medication. This discernment aids in selecting an optimal management approach, wherein the patients most likely to benefit significantly from metformin are identified, while alternative therapies like insulin are considered for individuals with a lower probability of treatment response.
