ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The RISE Pediatric Medication Study compared strategies for preserving ?-cell function, including a 9-month follow-up after treatment withdrawal to test treatment effect durability. OBJECTIVE:Evaluate OGTT measures of glucose and ?-cell response through 12 months of intervention and 9?months of medication washout. PARTICIPANTS:Youth (n = 91) aged 10 to 19?years with BMI ?85th percentile and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS:A multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing insulin glargine for 3?months followed by metformin for 9?months (G?Met) or metformin alone (Met) for 12 months. We report within-group changes from baseline to end of medication intervention (M12), baseline to 9?months post-medication withdrawal (M21), and end of medication (M12) to M21. OGTT C-peptide index [CPI] paired with 1/fasting insulin evaluated ?-cell response. RESULTS:At M12, both treatments were associated with stable fasting glucose (G?Met baseline 6.0?±?0.1 vs M12 5.9?±?0.2?mmol/L, P = .62; Met baseline 6.1?±?0.2 vs M12 6.0?±?0.2?mmol/L, P = .73) and 2-hour glucose (G?Met baseline 10.2?±?0.4 vs M12 9.3?±?0.5?mmol/L, P = .03; Met baseline 10.2?±?0.4 vs M12 10.6?±?0.6?mmol/L, P = .88). Following medication withdrawal, fasting glucose worsened (G?Met M21 8.6?±?1.8, P = .004; Met M21 7.8?±?0.7?mmol/L, P = .003), as did 2-hour glucose (G?Met M21 13.2?±?1.4, P = .002; Met M21 13.1?±?1.2?mmol/L, P = .006), associated with declines in ?-cell response. CONCLUSIONS:G?Met and Met were associated with stable glucose measures during 12 months of treatment in youth with IGT or recently diagnosed T2D. Glucose and ?-cell response worsened post-medication withdrawal, suggesting treatment must be long-term or alternative treatments pursued.
