Abstract

Background: Incidence and prevalence of diabetes have been steadily increasing with a raise of global prevalence about 8.5%. The major types of diabetes are differentiated by insulin deficiency versus insulin resistance. SGLT2 inhibitors are a new class of drugs that act by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the proximal renal tubules. Remogliflozin a prodrug of remogliflozin, which is a potent and selective sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor was used for the study. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Remogliflozin etabonate in reducing HbA1C and serum glucose in type II diabetics.

Methods: This was a prospective observational study was done for 3 months. HbA1C, FBS and PPBS readings were noted and then the subjects were introduced to Remoglifozin 100 mg twice a day. At the end of 12 weeks HbA1C, FBS and PPBS were noted. The obtained data was analysed for its efficacy and safety.

Results: The study included 22 male subjects and 28 females. Before Remoglifzoin was given the mean HbA1C level was 8.23± 0.798, mean FBS was 179± 29.79 and PPBS was 299.38± 24.21. Remoglifozin 100 mg was given and the mean HbA1C level was 7.52± 0.765, mean FBS was 166.30± 32.13 and mean PPBS was 249.46± 18.21. Post 3 months of Remoglifzoin induction a reduction in HbA1C, FBS and PPBS was seen.

Conclusions: This study concludes Remoglifozin etabonate of 100 mg when given twice daily reduced the HbA1C levels, FBS and PPBS levels significantly.
