In a study of 29 people with type 2 diabetes who were also obese and whose blood sugar was not well controlled, adding liraglutide to their existing diabetes medications led to rapid improvements in blood sugar control, weight loss, and lower systolic blood pressure. These changes helped participants meet treatment goals set by diabetes associations and may reduce their risk of heart disease.

Abstract

We present a collection case report performed in 29 inadequately controlled diabetic and obese outpatients. The aim of this study was to verify metabolic effects of liraglutide in combination with other antidiabetic drugs. Across this study, liraglutide effectively and rapidly improves glycemic control (both fasting glycemia and HbAlc), body weight and systolic blood pressure, thus promoting the achievement of therapeutic targets proposed by the American Diabetes Association and European Association for the study of Diabetes and reducing cardiovascular risk profile of diabetic patients.
