Brief summary

As ß Cell Vanish Prior T2DM Incidence , and apoptosis is the underlying cause for ß-Cell loss, as well as it is histological event which represents snapshot in time , as well as it is difficult to determine in tissue samples as it is invasive and inconvenient. Furthermore, several studies have exerted that DPP4 inhibitors suppressed some apoptotic biomarkers in tissue thereby preserved beta cell mass . In the present study we investigate whether DPP4i would effectively alleviate beta cell apoptosis by decreasing serum levels of death receptors in T2DM and prediabetic patients . .

Interventions

• Prediabetic group: newly diagnosed, naïve impaired fasting glucose diagnosed based on ADA guidelines, and it is treated orally with sitagliptin ( either 50 mg once or twice daily on 100mg once daily )for 6 months. according to clinician decision depend on fasting blood glucose (FBG) and Hb A1C (50 mg given for either fasting blood glucose (FBG )less than 110 mg/dl and also for low value of Hb A1C less than 6% and adherence is controlled by giving drug each month . • Type 2 diabetic gro

(metformin 500, sitagliptin 50mg bid given either " FBG <200 mg/dl or HbA1C < 10% ", metformin 850,sitagliptin 50 bid given either " FBG ( ranges 200-240mg/dl , or HbA1C >10% " metformin 1000,sitagliptin 50 bid given either " FBG >240mg/dl or HbA1C >12%" Of note exclusion individuals with CAD, and CKD, as well as chronic diseases and not previously treated with either hypoglycemic agents or metformin alone in IFG group. DPP4 inhibitors will be administrated in combination with metformin for T2DM and DPP4 inhibitors will be given for prediabetes.
