- Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia, possibly through augmentation of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) action, but not that of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) on glucagon secretion. To examine this model in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the effects of the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin on glucagon and other counter-regulatory hormone responses to hypoglycaemia were evaluated and compared with those of the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide in a multi-centre, randomized, open-label, 2-arm parallel comparative, exploratory trial. Three-step hypoglycaemic clamp glucose tests preceded by meal tolerance tests were performed before and after 2-week treatment with the drugs. Glucagon levels were increased during the hypoglycaemic clamp test at 2.5mmol/L. This increase was similar in the linagliptin and liraglutide groups, both before and after the 2-week treatment. Changes in other counter-regulatory hormones (ie, growth hormone, cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine) were also similar between the groups, but were suppressed substantially after 2-week treatment compared to baseline. In conclusion, we confirmed that the glucagon response to hypoglycaemia was not affected by linagliptin or liraglutide treatment in Japanese individuals with T2D.

- Aims: To evaluate the impact of β-cell function on the efficacy of lixisenatide, a once-daily prandial glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials and methods: In this post hoc analysis, patients from the Phase 3 GetGoal-M and GetGoal-S clinical trials randomized to lixisenatide 20. μg once daily were stratified into quartiles by baseline β-cell function, as measured by the secretory units of islet in transplantation (SUIT) index. Results: Patients (N = 437) were distributed evenly among SUIT index quartiles 1 to 4 (lowest to highest β-cell function). Clinical outcomes improved from baseline across all SUIT quartiles; mean changes at week 24 were: glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; % [mmol/mol]), -0.99 (-10.8), -0.87 (-9.5), -0.86 (-9.4), -0.83 (-9.1); and postprandial plasma glucose (PPG; mmol/L), -7.9, -5.6, -5.5, -4.3 (overall effect .
