"This study provides evidence that, compared to glimepiride, saxagliptin more effectively achieves a composite endpoint of adequate glycaemic control without hypoglycaemia and without weight gain in T2D patients who are inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy, especially in overweight patients with moderate hyperglycaemia and a relatively short duration of diabetes."9.30Comparative effect of saxagliptin and glimepiride with a composite endpoint of adequate glycaemic control without hypoglycaemia and without weight gain in patients uncontrolled with metformin therapy: Results from the SPECIFY study, a 48-week, multi-centr ( Bi, Y; Cheng, J; Gu, T; Li, D; Ma, J; Shao, J; Shi, B; Sun, Z; Xu, L; Zhang, H; Zhang, Q; Zhong, S; Zhu, D; Zhu, L, 2019)

Change in Prandial Increments of Plasma Glucose Based on Self-measured 8-point Plasma Glucose Profiles at Week 104

Change in mean prandial increments of plasma glucose from baseline (week 0) to 104 weeks (end of 52-week extension). The 8 time points for self-measured 8-point plasma glucose profiles were: before each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), at 90 min after start of each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner), at bedtime, and at 3:00 AM ± 30 min. Mean prandial increments of plasma glucose were calculated as the sum of the plasma glucose differences between post- and pre-meal values (for breakfast, lunch and dinner) divided by three.

Hypoglycaemic Episodes

Total number of hypoglycaemic episodes occuring from baseline (week 0) to 104 weeks (end of the 52-week extension). Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 56 mg/dL. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with no plasma glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 56 mg/dL. (NCT00294723)
