Sustained fasting glucose oxidation and postprandial lipid oxidation associated with reduced insulin dose in type 2 diabetes with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor: A randomized, open-label, prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Hyperglycemia impairs energy substrate oxidation as a result of glucotoxicity. We examined whether the reduction of plasma glucose using a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, in inpatient diabetes management, has any effect on: (i) treatment period and basal-bolus dosage of insulin that achieve euglycemia; (ii) fasting/postprandial energy expenditure (EE); and (iii) energy substrate oxidation.

Materials and methods

This was a randomized, open-label, 7-day prospective study. Participants were type 2 diabetes patients with hyperglycemia, aged >20 years, with glycated hemoglobin >10%, daily mean preprandial blood glucose >11 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) and no previous antidiabetic medication. A total of 18 type 2 diabetes patients were randomized (1:1) to basal-b
