Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: compare the efficacy of metformin versus sitagliptin on the evolution of benign thyroid nodules greater than 2 cm in subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.;Secondary Objective: - Percentage of thyroid surgery observed in each group at 2 years. - Number of new TN (= 10mm) after 2 years of follow-up - Percentage of metabolic syndrome before and after treatment - Proportion of subjects with improvement of the HOMA-IR index and adipokine concentrations - Plasmatic TSH, T4 and T3 levels - Percentage of IGF-1 and adiponectin receptor expression in thyroid tissues after TN surgery ;Primary end point(s): Percentage of patients in each group who had a decrease of at least 20% in one or more nodules larger than 2 cm to 2 years;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - percentage of thyroid surgery observed in each group at 2 years. During follow-up, surgery will be indicated in the presence of an NT having increased in size and associated with either 1 / symptoms of local compression, or 2 / a suspicion of malignancy at the needle aspiration performed in the presence of ultrasound criteria TIRADS 4 or 5; - The number of new nodules (= 10mm) in ultrasound at 2 years; - The percentage of metabolic syndrome before and after treatment; - HOMA index variations and adipokine concentrations after 2 years; - Changes in plasma concentrations of TSH, T4, T3 after 2 years; - The percentage of expression of IGF-1 and adiponectin receptors in NT operated in group 1 compared to group 2. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 years
