Summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm the mechanism of reduced response to DPP-4 inhibitor in some patients with type 2 diabetes and evaluate appropriate patients to treat with DPP-4 inhibitor

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Type 2 diabetic patients with less than 15 yrs of disease duration
  • BMI between 22-27 kg/m2
  • HbA1c ≤ 9% at recruitment
  • Study group

After change sulfonylurea to sitagliptin in case of metformin and sulfonylurea therapy

  • Increase of fasting blood glucose over 20 mg/dL or postprandial glucose over 30 mg/dL within several days or
  • Increase of HbA1c over 1% within 2-3 months without abrupt increase of blood glucose levels within several days
  • Sulfonylurea dose : less than glimepiride 4mg or gliclazide 120mg or glibenclamide 10mg
  • Metformin dose : 500~2000mg
  • Reduced response to sitagliptin should be made a decision by investigators after understanding the condition of patients surely.
  • Control group
  • Age, sex, BMI matched patients with same condition of study patients
  • After change sulfonylurea to sitagliptin in case of metformin plus sulfonylurea therapy, no change of blood glucose levels like above or stable HbA1c change within 1% within 2-3 months

Exclusion Criteria

  • Other causes of increase of blood glucose levels except drug change
  • Patients with history of insulin treatment
  • Patients taking thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, GLP-1 analogue or DPP-4 inhibitors
  • Patients with renal, hepatic dysfunction
  • Patients with diabetic complications such as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, proliferative diabetic retinopathy or diabetic gastroparesis
  • Patients taking medications affecting glucose level
