At 26 weeks, and despite similar A1C levels being attained in both treatment groups, the coefficient of variation (CV) of glucose measurements (a measure of variation in glucose levels around the mean level)18 was significantly reduced in patients treated with basal insulin plus a GLP-1 RA ...
Type 2 diabetes is caused by a lack of glycogen storage capacity resulting from insulin resistance and excessive glucagon mediated hepatic gluconeogenesis. Diabetes progresses when HbA1c is above 6% and regresses when HbA1c is below 5.5%. Reversal can b
