Gestational diabetes (GDM) imparts a high risk of developing diabetes postpartum. Insulin resistance appears to be the major contributor. Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, improves peripheral glucose disposal and reduces body weight. We evaluated whether liraglutide in combination with metformin (MET-LIRA) is more effective than metformin monotherapy (MET-P) in improving insulin action and reducing body weight in overweight prior GDM (pGDM) women.
Women (n = 153; body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m; 18-45 y; GDM within 12 months) with metabolic abnormalities were randomized to MET-LIRA (MET-2000 mg, LIRA 1.8 mg SC QD) or MET-P (MET-2000 mg, Placebo QD). Study visits at baseline, 36-40, 56-60 and 80-84 weeks included body weight (BW), BMI, waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio measures. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were performed to assess glycemia, mean blood glucose (MBG), lipids, and compute insulin sensitivity and secretion measures.
Seventy-two (47%) participants completed the study. MET-LIRA therapy was significantly better in improving MBG and insulin sensitivity indices [SI MET-LIRA from 4.6 (3.2) to 5.9 (2.9) vs. MET-P 5.5 (3.0) to 5.4 (3.2)] and reducing BW and central adiposity [BMI MET-LIRA from 37.2 (8.3) to 33.8 (5.2) vs MET-P 33.8(5.2) to 32.8(6)]. MET-LIRA therapy but not MET-P decreased triglycerides (TRG) and TRG/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratios.
MET-LIRA treatment demonstrated superior efficacy in correcting the metabolic status of pGDM women over 84 weeks of therapy. The addition of liraglutide to metformin therapy resulted in a more dramatic decrease in BW and central adiposity than metformin alone.

妊娠糖尿病(GDM)会增加产后发生糖尿病的风险。胰岛素抵抗似乎是主要原因。利拉鲁肽是一种胰高血糖素样肽-1类似物,可改善外周葡萄糖处置并减轻体重。我们评估了利拉鲁肽联合二甲双胍(MET-LIRA)是否比二甲双胍单药治疗(MET-P)更能改善超重的既往 GDM(pGDM)女性的胰岛素作用并减轻体重。
共有 153 名(BMI≥25kg/m2;18-45 岁;GDM 在 12 个月内)存在代谢异常的女性被随机分为 MET-LIRA(MET-2000mg,LIRA 1.8mg SC QD)或 MET-P(MET-2000mg,安慰剂 QD)。基线、36-40、56-60 和 80-84 周时进行体重(BW)、BMI、腰围和腰高比测量。进行口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT)以评估血糖、平均血糖(MBG)、血脂,并计算胰岛素敏感性和分泌指标。
72 名(47%)参与者完成了研究。MET-LIRA 治疗在改善 MBG 和胰岛素敏感指数方面明显更好[MET-LIRA 从 4.6(3.2)改善至 5.9(2.9),而 MET-P 从 5.5(3.0)改善至 5.4(3.2)],并降低 BW 和中心性肥胖[MET-LIRA 从 BMI 37.2(8.3)改善至 33.8(5.2),而 MET-P 从 33.8(5.2)改善至 32.8(6)]。与 MET-P 相比,MET-LIRA 治疗可降低甘油三酯(TRG)和 TRG/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)比值。
在 84 周的治疗中,MET-LIRA 治疗在纠正 pGDM 女性的代谢状态方面表现出更好的疗效。与单独使用二甲双胍相比,利拉鲁肽联合二甲双胍治疗可更显著地降低 BW 和中心性肥胖。
