LiraglutideLiraglutideApplication of liraglutide 1.8 mg subcutaneous daily for 6 months to evaluate subclinical atherosclerosis, by means of carotid doppler US, lipid profile in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the effect of liraglutide on carotid intima media thickness in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.Baseline and 6 months

Change from baseline measure of right carotid intima media thickness with doppler ultrasound at 6 months in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus who meet inclusion criteria.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers (BMI, weight and abdominal circumference)0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months

Somatometry: weight will be measured at baseline and every month until completing 6 months.

To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers. Somatometry (BMI, weight and abdominal circumference)0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 months

Somatometry: abdominal circumference will be measured at baseline and every month until completing 6 months.

To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers Laboratory studies (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol)0, 3 and 6 months

Laboratory studies will be taken: complete lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, non-HDL cholesterol) at baseline, 3 and 6 months.

To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers Laboratory studies (HbA1c)0, 3 and 6 months

Laboratory studies will be taken: HbA1c at baseline, 3 and 6 months.

To assess the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular risk factors, cardiometabolic markers. eGDR (Estimated glucose disposal rate)0, 3 and 6 months

Estimated glucose disposal rate will be calculated at baseline, 3 and 6 months.
