The dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors have a low risk of causing hypoglycemia as monotherapy. However, insulin administration is frequently required, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes and with reduced insulin secretory capacity. The effects of adding DPP-4 inhibitors were evaluated using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who were insufficiently controlled by basal insulin with biguanide. The effects of adding DPP-4 inhibitors on blood glucose and plasma insulin and glucagon levels were evaluated. Δ glucagon showed a significant association with post-prandial glucose increase in the group with diminished insulin secretory capacity, C-peptide index(CPI) <0.8 (p= 0.016), while Δ C-peptide reached significant association in the group with relatively intact insulin secretory capacity, CPI ≥0.8 (p= 0.017). The mean plasma glucose levels andMvalues were similarly improved in patients treated with the three DPP-4 inhibitors. Hypoglycemia did not occur in any of the DPP-4 inhibitor groups. In conclusion, complementary glucagonostatic and insulinotropic effects of adding DPP-4 inhibitors are involved in the glucose-lowering action of Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes according to their insulin secretory capacity. Such combination therapy may well be a superior therapeutic option for the treatment of diabetes in Japanese patients who often exhibit reduced insulin secretory capacity.
