Effects of Vildagliptine and Glimepiride on Glucose Variability

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01812122
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences of blood sugar level and glycemic variability between sulfonylurea and DPP-4 inhibitor groups applying CGMS for a chosen number of type 2 DM patients. The investigators also reveal influences of each drugs on cardiovascular risk factors by measuring related biomarkers.

Detailed Description

We enroll patients with type 2 DM with uncontrolled glucose level on Metformin monotherapy over 1000mg /day (HbA1C over 7%).

Before drug administration, we conduct basal lab study including CGMS. After 3 month of random administration of vildagliptin or glimepiride, we check CGMS, glucose levels, CV biomarkers, and estimate hypoglycemic index. We replace with the other drug for 3 months, and then conduct the same measurements. No wash-out period is necessary since result variables are measured after the 3 months of administration for a different drug.
