Glycemic control and weight evolution in DM2 patients with canaglifozina

de Linares Lidia Urbon Lopez , Soto Cristina Crespo , Terroba Concepcion , Garrote Sara , Ventosa Marta , Marin Tomas , Cuellar Luis

In the late years ISGLT2 have became an usual choice to treat diabetes. The inhibition of the sodium-glucose co transporters (SLGT2) inhibits also the glucose reabsorption in the proximale tubule and increases the glucose excreted in the urine. Therefore hyperglycemia decreases and so does weight. This is a very convenient side effect since type 2 DM is highly associated with overweight/obesity. We show the results of HbA1c and weight evolution after starting canaglifozina 100...

Does tolerance develop toward GLP-1 receptor agonists’ glucose-lowering effect?

Sedman Tuuli , Krass Maarja , Runkorg Kertu , Vasar Eero , Volke Vallo

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have become a popular tool for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Unlike many other antidiabetic drug classes, distinct GLP-1 RAs have different therapeutic profiles, mostly due to their different pharmacokinetic properties. Animal experiments and human data indicate that tolerance develops toward at least some of their effects, e.g., gastric motility. Whether tolerance develops toward the glucose-lowering effect...
