Overview
Glycemic variability will be assessed using continuous glucose monitor(CGM) in type 2 diabetic patients who receive dulaglutide 1.5 mg/qw injection for 4 weeks.
Description
Glycemic fluctuation is a major problem in glucose control in diabetic patients. It is interesting to know that whether weekly GLP-1RA can improve glycemic variability in diabetic patients. The present study aims to assess the effect of dulaglutide on glycemic variability using continuous glucose monitor(CGM) (Libra, Abbott) in type 2 diabetic patients with 4 weeks.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Fully understand the test content and possible adverse reactions and voluntarily participate in the trial and sign the informed consent form;
- Meet the World Health Organization(WHO) (1999) criteria for the diagnosis and classification criteria for type 2 diabetes;
- 18 age 70 years old, male or female;
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with Type 1 diabetes mellitus or secondary diabetes mellitus (i.e. any type other than T2DM)
- Personal history or family history of thyroid medullary carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).
- History of pancreatitis or considered clinically at significant risk of developing pancreatitis during the course of the study (e.g. due to symptomatic gallstones).
- History of significant gastrointestinal (GI) surgery that in the opinion of the investigator is likely to significantly affect upper GI or pancreatic function.
- Fasting triglyceride level more than 750 mg/dL at screening.
