In adults with type 2 diabetes, IDegLira decreased the mean postprandial glucose increment from baseline significantly more than insulin degludec alone.
In plain wordsIn adults with type 2 diabetes, the combination of insulin degludec and liraglutide lowered the after-meal blood sugar rise more than insulin degludec alone.

Source sentences
At week 26, IDegLira produced a significantly greater decrease from baseline in mean PPG increment (normalized iAUC0-4h) than insulin degludec (estimated treatment difference [ETD] -12.79 mg/dl [95% CI: -21.08; -4.68], P = .0023)

We studied the effect of IDegLira versus its components on postprandial glucose (PPG) in type 2 diabetes.
In this substudy, 260 (15.6%) of the original 1663 patients with inadequate glycemic control participating in a 26-week, open-label trial (DUAL I) were randomized 2:1:1 to once-daily IDegLira, insulin degludec or liraglutide.
