Retrospective analysis of liraglutide and basal insulin combination therapy in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients: The association between remaining β‐cell function and the achievement of the glycated hemoglobin target 1 year after initiation

摘要

Aims/IntroductionThe glucose‐lowering effects of the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist, liraglutide, have been shown to rely on remaining β‐cell function. However, the possible associations of remaining β‐cell function with the glucose‐lowering effects of liraglutide in combination with basal insulin remain unknown and warrant investigation.
