We retrospectively analyzed the data of 37 patients who had postprandial hyperglycemia ( ≥10.0 mmol/L ) with BOT ( long-acting insulin plus glimepiride ) with their insulin titrated enough to keep preprandial glycemia < 7.2 mmol/L , and who had their treatment changed to liraglutide monotherapy , with the subsequent addition of glimepiride , when required .
Efficacy of liraglutide therapy in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients insufficiently controlled with basal-supported oral therapy. (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2012.00223.x, 2012) Aims/Introduction:  We assessed the efficacy of liraglutide therapy in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients insufficiently controlled with basal-supported oral therapy (BOT). ### Materials And Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data of 37 patients who had postprandial hyperglycemia ( ≥10.0 mmol/L ) with BOT ( long-acting insulin plus glimepiride ) with their insulin titrated enough to keep preprandial glycemia < 7.2 mmol/L , and who had their treatment changed to liraglutide monotherapy , with the subsequent addition of glimepiride , when required . Those who achieved the glycemic target at all points (preprandial glycemia <7.2 mmol/L and postprandial glycemia <10.0 mmol/L) were regarded as responders and the efficacy of liraglutide therapy was assessed. We also explored the predictive clinical characteristics associated with its efficacy. ### results Daily doses of insulin and glimepiride with BOT were 14 ± 9 units and 1.5 ± 0.9 mg, respectively. After the change to liraglutide therapy, 37% of the patients appeared to be responders to the therapy, whereas 12% had their glycemic control rather deteriorated. Efficacy of liraglutide therapy was significantly associated with baseline insulin dosage and post-breakfast glycemia with BOT. The C-statistic of the model was calculated to be 0.90. ### conclusions There were responders and non-responders to liraglutide therapy in Japanese BOT failures. It is likely that baseline insulin dosage and post-breakfast glycemia with BOT are clinically useful indicators for the efficacy of liraglutide therapy.
