Summary

27 Type 2 diabetic subjects (HbA1c 7.5 - 9.5%) currently treated with diet and exercise alone or with oral antidiabetic agents will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: insulin detemir, liraglutide, or liraglutide plus detemir (9 subjects per group), on a background of metformin 2000 mg per day. After 3 months' treatment, PET measurements of myocardial fuel selection will take place, under fasting conditions in the morning following that day's treatment injection(s).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Type 2 diabetic
  • 18-50 years
  • BMI > 25kg/m2
  • HbA1c 7.0-10.0%
  • Treated with up to 2 oral agents

Exclusion Criteria

  • Chronic illness or infection (other than diabetes mellitus)
  • Known coronary artery disease, structural heart disease or abnormal ECG on screen.
  • Treatment with >2 antihypertensive agents or blood pressure >140/95 on two occasions during screening
  • History of claustrophobia, musculoskeletal or other factors which would result in an inability to comfortably remain within the PET scanner gantry for the duration of the imaging protocol.
  • Occupational, investigational or other known radiation exposure which together with the planned radiologic studies, will result in greater than 500 mrem total exposure in a 12 month period.
  • Current pregnancy
  • Treatment with GLP-1 agonist or DPP4 inhibitor within the past 6 months
  • Known intolerance to GLP-1 agonist
  • Personal history of pancreatitis, personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or other contraindications to liraglutide treatment.
