Effect of Dulaglutide on Glycemic Variability in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT04374578
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital
Brief Summary

Glycemic variability will be assessed using continuous glucose monitor(CGM) in type 2 diabetic patients who receive dulaglutide 1.5 mg/qw injection for 4 weeks.

Detailed Description

Glycemic fluctuation is a major problem in glucose control in diabetic patients. It is interesting to know that whether weekly GLP-1RA can improve glycemic variability in diabetic patients. The present study aims to assess the effect of dulaglutide on glycemic variability using continuous glucose monitor(CGM) (Libra, Abbott) in type 2 diabetic patients with 4 weeks.

  • 18 ≤ age ≤ 70 years old, male or female;
Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus or secondary diabetes mellitus (i.e. any type other than T2DM)
  • Personal history or family history of thyroid medullary carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).
  • History of pancreatitis or considered clinically at significant risk of developing pancreatitis during the course of the study (e.g. due to symptomatic gallstones).
