Medication use, blood sugar control, and costs over 12 months in US patients with type 2 diabetes starting dulaglutide versus liraglutide or once-weekly exenatide
Updated
Abstract
Dulaglutide showed 51.2% adherence compared to 38.2% for liraglutide and 50.7% for exenatide once weekly.
- A higher proportion of patients initiating dulaglutide were adherent compared to those starting liraglutide and exenatide once weekly.
- At 12 months, 55% of patients on dulaglutide remained on treatment, significantly higher than 43.8% for liraglutide and 54.9% for exenatide.
- Dulaglutide treatment resulted in a greater reduction in HbA1c levels compared to liraglutide and a comparable reduction to exenatide.
- Diabetes-related costs were similar for dulaglutide and liraglutide, but dulaglutide was associated with higher costs than exenatide.
