Impact of Bromocriptine-QR Therapy on Glycemic Control and Daily Insulin Requirement in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Subjects Whose Dysglycemia Is Poorly Controlled on High-Dose Insulin: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The concurrent use of a postprandial insulin sensitizing agent, such as bromocriptine-QR, a quick release formulation of bromocriptine, a dopamine D2 receptor agonist, may offer a strategy to improve glycemic control and limit/reduce insulin requirement in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients on high-dose insulin. This open label pilot study evaluated this potential utility of bromocriptine-QR.

Methods

Ten T2DM subjects on metformin (1-2 gm/day) and high-dose (TDID ≥ 65 U/day) basal-bolus insulin were enrolled to receive once daily (morning) bromocriptine-QR (1.6-4.8 mg/day) for 24 weeks. Subjects with at least one postbaseline HbA1c measurement (N = 8) were analyzed for change from baseline HbA(1c), TDID, and postprandial glucose area under the curve of a four-hour mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT).

Results

Compared to the baseline, average HbA1c decreased 1.76% (9.74 ± 0.56 to 7.98 ± 0.36, P = 0.01), average TDID decreased 27% (199 ± 33 to 147 ± 31, P = 0.009), and MMTT AUC(60-240) decreased 32% (P = 0.04) over the treatment period. The decline in HbA(1c) and TDID was observed at 8 weeks and sustained over the remaining 16-week study duration.

Conclusion

In this study, bromocriptine-QR therapy improved glycemic control and meal tolerance while reducing insulin requirement in T2DM subjects poorly controlled on high-dose insulin therapy.

Project description:BackgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of dysglycemia on perioperative outcomes, in patients with and without diabetes, and how prior glycemic control modifies these relationships.MethodsConsecutive surgical patients admitted to six South Australian tertiary hospitals between 2017 and 2023 were included. Blood glucose levels within 48 h pre- and post-operatively were assessed in an adjusted analyses against a priori selected covariates. Dysglycemia metrics were hyperglycemia (>10.0 mmol/L), hypoglycemia (<4.0 mmol/L), glycemic variability (standard deviation of mean blood glucose >1.7 mmol/L), and stress hyperglycemic ratio (SHR). The primary outcome was hospital mortality.ResultsOf 52 145 patients, 7490 (14.4%) had recognized diabetes. Inpatient mortality was observed in 787 patients (1.5%), of which 150 (19.1%) had diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia was associated with increased mortality in patients with diabetes (odds ratio [OR] = 2.99, 95% CI: 1.63-5.67, p = 0.004) but not in non-diabetics, who instead had an increased odds of intensive care unit (ICU) admission if hyperglycemic (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.40-2.72, p < 0.0001). Glycemic variability was associated with increased mortality in patients with diabetes (OR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.05-2.01, p < 0.05) but not in non-diabetics. Preoperative glycemic control (HbA1c) attenuated both of these associations in a dose-dependent fashion. Hypoglycemia was associated with increased mortality in non-diabetics (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.92-2.37, p < 0.001) but not in patients with diabetes.Conclusions,In surgical patients with diabetes, prior exposure to hyperglycemia attenuates the impact of perioperative hyperglycemia and glycemic variability on inpatient mortality and ICU admission. In patients without diabetes mellitus, all absolute thresholds of dysglycemia are associated with ICU admission, unlike those with diabetes, suggesting the need to use more relative measures such as the SHR.
