GLP-1/Basal Insulin Combination Therapy

What this study is testing ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02895672 ↗

Description as written by the study sponsor.

This is a real-world, pre-post observational study from an ambulatory endocrinology practice which will determine the effectiveness and safety of the addition of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) agonist therapy (weekly exenatide {Bydureon} or daily liraglutide {Victoza}), added to the regimens of T2DM patients who have already received a minimum of one year of basal insulin therapy. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that GLP-1 agonist therapy added to basal insulin therapy will result in statistically significant improved glycemic control and weight loss, with no higher risk of hypoglycemia compared to baseline.

Treatments tested

• GLP-1 therapy also known as Bydureon, Victoza Drug

  The investigators will assess the efficacy and safety of 12 months of GLP-1 therapy added to the therapeutic regimen of a group of T2DM patients who have received basal insulin therapy for a minimum of one year.
