Recently, incretin-based therapy has been attracted a lot of interest (Hare KJ, Knop FK). However, it is not clear how the incretin-based therapy affects energy and content of dietary intake in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

The investigators examine whether the incretin-based therapy effects on the energy and content of dietary intake in the same patients before and one year after administration of incretin-related drugs using the same method previously (Inoue K et al.).
