Exercise and the dipeptidyl-peptidase IV inhibitor sitagliptin do not improve beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis in long-lasting type 1 diabetes-A randomised open-label study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Increasing evidence points to beta-cell regeneration in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM) at all stages of the disease. Exercise and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) independently improve beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis in animal studies and in clinical trials in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Whether a combination of both, exercise and GLP-1, induces a similar effect in individuals with long-lasting type 1 DM remains to be investigated.

Methods

In an open-label study, participants with long-standing type 1 DM were randomly assigned to oral sitagliptin 100 mg daily for 12 weeks in combination with or without an exercise intervention. The primary end-point was change in the area under the concentration-time curv
