Patients diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults demonstrated beta-cell preservation when administered sitagliptin and insulin compared with insulin alone, according to data.
?Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a form of type 1 diabetes that comprises about 6% to 10% of patients initially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. LADA is a good model for investigation of the effects of DPP-IV inhibition on beta-cell function in autoimmune diabetes,? researchers wrote. ?LADA patients treated with the DPP-IV inhibitor sitagliptin had maintained beta-cell function, additional to any benefits from insulin alone.?
