PMID25841300 : Saxagliptin is similar in glycaemic variability more effective in metabolic control than acarbose in aged type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin.
Abstract
This study compared the effects on glycaemic variability and glucose control between saxagliptin and acarbose as add-on therapies for aged T2DM inadequately controlled with metformin alone. The results showed that compared with acarbose-metformin, saxagliptin-metformin was more effective in glucose control with similar glycaemic variability.
Structured Findings
saxagliptin significantly decreased glycaemic variability compared to acarbose-metformin
Structured Markup
Intervention Comparator Outcome Label
saxagliptin acarbose-metformin glycaemic variability significantly decreased
