- Context: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors act by increasing plasma levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and suppressing excessive glucagon secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, their effects on the glucagon response to hypoglycemia are not established. Objective: Assess effects of the DPP-4 inhibitor vildagliptin on alpha-cell response to hyper- and hypoglycemia. Design: Single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study of 28-d treatment, with a 4-wk between-period washout Setting: Participants received study drug as outpatients. Patients: Drug-naïve patients with T2DM and baseline HbA1c

- Aims: Previous studies have shown that dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibition lowers glucagon levels whereas sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibition increases them. This study evaluated the extent of these opposite effects in a direct comparative head-to-head study. Methods: In a single-centre, randomized study with a cross-over design, 28 metformin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) (mean age, 63 years; baseline HbA1c, 6.8%) were treated with vildagliptin (50 mg twice daily) or dapagliflozin (10 mg once daily) for 2 weeks, with a 4-week wash-out period between the two separate treatments. After each treatment period, a meal test was undertaken, with measurements of islet and incretin hormones and 4-hour area under the curve (AUC) levels were estimated. Results: Fasting glucagon (35.6 ± 2.5 vs 39.4 ± 3.4 pmoL/L; P = .032) and postprandial glucagon (4-hour AUCglucagon, 32.1 ± 2.3 vs 37.5 ± 2.7 nmoL/L min; P = .001) were ~15% lower after vildagliptin compared to dapagliflozin treatment. This was associated with stronger early (15 minute) C-peptide response and higher 4-hour AUCC-peptide (P < .010), higher 4-hour AUC of the intact form of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) (P < .001) and lower 4-hour AUC of total GIP and GLP-1 (P < .001). Conclusion: Treatment with DPP-4 inhibition with vildagliptin results in 15% lower fasting and postprandial glucagon levels compared to SGLT-2 inhibition with dapagliflozin. DPP-4 inhibition also induces more rapid insulin secretion and higher levels of intact incretin hormones, resulting in stronger feedback inhibition of incretin hormone secretion than SGLT-2 inhibition.

- Aims: Maintainance of glucagon response to hypoglycaemia is important as a safeguard against hypoglycaemia during glucose-lowering therapy in type 2 diabetes. During recent years, DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibition has become more commonly used in elderly patients. However, whether DPP-4 inhibition affects the glucagon response to hypoglycaemia in the elderly is not known and was the aim of this study. Methods: In a single-centre, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study, 28 subjects with metformin-treated type 2 diabetes (17 male, 11 female; mean age, 74years [range 65-86]; mean HbA1c, 51.5mmol/mol [6.9%]) received sitagliptin (100mg once daily) as add-on therapy or placebo for 4weeks with a 4-week washout period in between. After each treatment period, the subjects underwent a standard breakfast test, followed by a 2-step hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemic clamp (target 3.5 and 3.0mmol/L), followed by lunch. Results: Glucagon levels after breakfast and lunch, and the glucagon response at 3.5mmol/L, were lower after sitagliptin than after placebo. However, the glucagon response to hypoglycaemia at 3.1mmol/L did not differ significantly between the two. Similarly, the noradrenaline, adrenaline and cortisol responses were lower with sitagliptin than with placebo at 3.5mmol/L, but not at 3.1mmol/L glucose. Responses in pancreatic polypeptide did not differ between the two. Conclusions: Elderly subjects with metformin-treated type 2 diabetes have lower glucagon levels at 3.5mmol/L glucose, but maintain the glucagon response to hypoglycaemia at 3.1mmol/L during DPP-4 inhibition, which safeguards against hypoglycaemia and may contribute to decreasing the risk of hypoglycaemia by DPP-4 inhibition in this age group.

- Context: The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, vildagliptin, inhibits glucagon secretion at hyperglycemia but appears to enhance glucagon counterregulation during hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes.Objective:The objective of the investigation was to study whether vildagliptin also improves α-cell function in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients and Methods: The study was a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study involving 28 patients with C-peptide negative and antibody positive T1D [21 males, seven females, glycosylated hemoglobin 57.9 mmol/mol (7.5%)]. Patients received vildagliptin (50 mg twice a day) or placebo as an add-on to their insulin therapy for 4 wk each. On d 28 of the respective treatment period, patients were served a standard meal (500 kcal) to raise the circulating incretin hormone levels followed by a hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemic clamp at 2.5 mmol/liter. Main Outcome Measure: The increase in plasma glucagon levels during the 30-min hypoglycemic clamp (min 165-195 of the test) was measured.Results:During the meal, glucagon levels were lower with vildagliptin than with placebo (120 min area under the curve(glucagon) 2.4 ± 0.2 vs. 2.6 ± 0.2 nmol/liter × minutes, P = 0.022 for between group difference). In contrast, during hypoglycemia, the glucagon counterregulation was not reduced by vildagliptin (increase in glucagon 1.5 ± 1.0 pmol/liter with vildagliptin vs. 1.7 ± 0.8 pmol/liter with placebo, P = NS). In addition, the counterregulatory responses in epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and pancreatic polypeptide were not different between the treatments. During the 4-wk treatment period, vildagliptin reduced the mean glycosylated hemoglobin, whereas there was no change with placebo [between group difference was -3.4 ± 1.0 mmol/mol (-0.32 ± 0.09%; P = 0.002)] from baseline of 57.9 mmol/mol (7.5%). Conclusions: Vildagliptin, although inhibiting glucagon secretion during hyperglycemia, does not compromise the glucagon counterregulatory response during hypoglycemia in T1D.
