Brief summary

The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials.

Detailed description

Fixed-dose combinations of insulin glargine/lixisenatide (IGlarLixi) or insulin glargine plus dulaglutide constitute treatment intensification in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The investigators aimed to compare efficacy and safety of IGlarLixi and insulin glargine plus dulaglutide as intensification from basal insulin with metformin, in the absence of head-to-head trials. Treatments were compared in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) change from baseline, and variables from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system; in addition to safety issues on hypoglycemia and changes in weight.
