Abstract

Patients with low baseline beta-cell function experienced a 1.55% reduction in HbA1c after 26 weeks of dulaglutide treatment.

  • Patients with lower beta-cell function had higher levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and longer duration of diabetes.
  • The low beta-cell function tertile exhibited greater reductions in HbA1c compared to the high tertile after 26 weeks of treatment.
  • Adjusting for baseline HbA1c eliminated differences in HbA1c reduction between beta-cell function tertiles.
  • Greater decreases in fasting blood glucose and greater increases in fasting C-peptide were noted in the low beta-cell function tertile.
  • All tertiles showed similar increases in beta-cell function as measured by .
