- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide on disordered eating behaviour in patients with overweight and type 2 diabetes. The investigators will also evaluate serum concentrations of incretin hormones GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), as well as glucose variability using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices before and after semaglutide, and determine his influence on eating disorders.
In this prospective study the investigators aim to recruit 60 patients with type 2 diabetes and randomize them based on the presence of a disordered eating behaviour diagnosed by a validated questionnaire (1:1). Patients with a disordered eating behaviour will further be randomized (1:1) to receive semaglutide. At baseline and after 12 weeks of semaglutide therapy, the investigators will reevaluate glucose variability over 14 days using a continuous glucose monitoring device (CGM).
With this study the investigators will determine the impact of GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide on disordered eating behaviour in patients with overweight and type 2 diabetes. This study will contribute to the knowledge about the role of incretin hormones and glucose variability in eating disorders in this population of patients.
- Detailed Description
This randomized controlled trial will be conducted in Clinical Hospital Center Sestre milosrdnice and University of Zagreb School of medicine. Patients will be randomized after completing the EAT-26 questionnaire (1:1), in group with disordered eating behaviour (n=30) if participants scored \>20 points, and group without disordered eating behaviour (n=30) if participants scored ≤20 points. Group of patients with disordered eating behaviour will be further randomized whether participants will receive semaglutide (n=15) with standard care or if participants will be treated with standard care (n=15). The investigators will evaluate baseline EAT-26 score, GLP-1 and GIP blood levels in a mixed meal test, anthropometric measurements (weight, BMI, waist circumference), biochemical parameters (complete blood count, glucose, insulin, c-peptide, HbA1c, urea, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), international normalized ratio (INR), albumin, serum lipid levels (cholesterol. HDL, LDL, triglyceride), C reactive protein (CRP), urine sediment and their changes at the end of the trial (except mixed meal test). Also, through 14 days at the beginning and 14 days before the end of the trial, patients will keep a food diary and have intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre Pro CGM device, Abbott).
A factor analysis of EAT-26 scores will be conducted to form 3 (expected) latent variables (components). To assess the effect on dietary habits, the difference in EAT-26 total score and latent variables between subjects randomized to semaglutide and control subjects (randomized to standard care) will be assessed after 3 months of treatment. The data will be analysed in a general linear model, with basal covariates: age, sex, BMI and score at the beginning of treatment. In the same way, the effect of semaglutide on GLP1 concentrations (basal covariate: basal concentration next to the location of the EAT-26 score) will be evaluated, separately for the condition before and after the mixed meal test. GLP-1 and GIP concentrations will be compared between subjects with ("exposed") and without (control) eating disorders, in a generalized linear model for repeated measurements (GLP-1 concentration before and after mixed meal test) with fixed covariates: age, sex, BMI, time ( before or after mixed meal test) and exposure\*time interactions. Type I (α) error=0.05.

Group Intervention Description Type 2 diabetic patients without disordered eating behaviour standard of care Treated with standard of care. Type 2 diabetic patients with disordered eating behaviour A standard of care Treated with standard of care. Type 2 diabetic patients with disordered eating behaviour B Semaglutide Receiving semaglutide for 12 weeks
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) questionnaire score EAT-26 questionnaire will be assessed at the beginning of the trial and at the end of the trial after 12 weeks. Investigate the effect of semaglutide on the intensity of disordered eating behaviour quantified by the EAT-26 questionnaire in patients with overweight and type 2 diabetes. Possible scores in EAT-26 questionnaire min.0-max 78, with lower score indicating better outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Continuous glucose monitoring parameter (Glycemic Variability) CGM parameter will be assessed through 14 days at the beginning of the trial and through 14 days at the end of the trial after 12 weeks. Investigate the effect of semaglutide on continuous glucose monitoring parameter glycemic variability defined by the measurement of fluctuations of glucose over a given interval of time (14 days) presented as coefficient of variation (CV) with values of %CV ≥ 36, as high glycemic variability.
Concentration of incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP) At the beginning of the trial (before semaglutide administration) To assess the concentrations of incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP) in group of participants with eating behaviour disorder and in group of participants without eating behaviour disorder.
