This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to evaluate the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on continuous glucose monitoring metrics as adjunctive to insulin in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D).
A systematic literature search was conducted through Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library and Google Scholar until October 25, 2023. Dual-independent study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were conducted. Results were summarized with random effects meta-analysis.
Eight RCTs were identified, involving a total of 2310 T1D patients. The use of SGLT2is on top of standard insulin therapy was associated with a significantly higher time in range (TIR) compared to placebo (mean difference (MD) 9.7 %; 95 % confidence interval (CI) [8.3, 1.11]; P < 0.001). The time above range was significantly lower in patients receiving SGLT2is (MD -8.71 %; 95 % CI [-11.62, -5.79]; P < 0.001), whereas no difference was observed regarding the time below range (TBR) (MD 0.34 %; 95 % CI [-0.17, 0.85]; P = 0.19). A significantly lower sensor-recorded mean daily glucose was noted in the group receiving SGLT2is (MD -16.55 mg/dL; 95 % CI [-19.82, -13.29]; P < 0.001). When considering the metrics of glucose variability, SGLT2is demonstrated a significant favorable effect on the mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MD -16.92 mg/dL; 95 % CI [-25.31, -8.13]; P < 0.001) and the mean standard deviation of weekly glucose levels (MD -7.67 mg/dL; 95 % CI [-11, -4.35]; P < 0.001). No significant effect was observed concerning the coefficient of variation (MD -1 %; 95 % CI [-2.39, 0.4]; P = 0.16). Regarding safety outcomes, SGLT2is were significantly linked to higher odds of diabetic ketoacidosis compared to insulin alone (OR 3.18; 95 % CI [1.79, 5.66]; P < 0.001), with no significant impact on severe hypoglycemia events (OR 1; 95 % CI [0.54, 1.85]; P = 0.1).
Our findings suggest that in individuals with T1D, adjunct therapy with SGLT2is provides a significant benefit in terms of TIR and reduced glucose variability, without an increase in TBR.
本随机对照试验(RCT)的荟萃分析旨在评估钠-葡萄糖协同转运蛋白2抑制剂(SGLT2is)作为1型糖尿病(T1D)成人患者胰岛素辅助治疗对连续血糖监测指标的影响。
通过Medline(通过PubMed)、Cochrane图书馆和谷歌学术进行系统的文献检索,直至2023年10月25日。进行了双独立研究选择、数据提取和质量评估。结果采用随机效应荟萃分析进行总结。
共纳入8项RCT,涉及2310例T1D患者。与安慰剂相比,在标准胰岛素治疗基础上加用SGLT2is与更高的血糖达标时间(TIR)显著相关(平均差值(MD)9.7%;95%置信区间(CI)[8.3, 1.11];P < 0.001)。接受SGLT2is治疗的患者高于目标范围的时间显著更低(MD -8.71%;95% CI [-11.62, -5.79];P < 0.001),而低于目标范围的时间(TBR)未观察到差异(MD 0.34%;95% CI [-0.17, 0.85];P = 0.19)。接受SGLT2is治疗的组传感器记录的平均每日血糖显著更低(MD -16.55 mg/dL;95% CI [-19.82, -13.29];P < 0.001)。在考虑血糖变异性指标时,SGLT2is对血糖波动平均幅度(MD -16.92 mg/dL;95% CI [-25.31, -8.13];P < 0.001)和每周血糖水平平均标准差(MD -7.67 mg/dL;95% CI [-11, -4.35];P < 0.001)显示出显著的有益作用。变异系数未观察到显著影响(MD -1%;95% CI [-2.39, 0.4];P = 0.16)。关于安全性结果,与单独使用胰岛素相比,SGLT2is与糖尿病酮症酸中毒的更高几率显著相关(比值比(OR)3.18;95% CI [1.79, 5.66];P < 0.001),对严重低血糖事件无显著影响(OR 1;95% CI [0.54, 1.85];P = 0.1)。
我们的研究结果表明,在T1D患者中,SGLT2is辅助治疗在TIR和降低血糖变异性方面提供了显著益处,且未增加TBR。
