    Summary · context
    We evaluated FCPR, PCPR, and ΔCPR levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who initiated dulaglutide treatment after a standardized meal tolerance test (MTT).
    Summary · context
    Then, we evaluated the association between each β-cell function marker and glycemic response (HbA1c change 0-6 months) to dulaglutide using generalized linear model and logistic regression analysis with adjustment for baseline HbA1c.
    Summary · context
    Of all patients, 59 continued dulaglutide for at least 6 months without initiating any additional glucose-lowering medications.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Dulaglutide (Trulicity) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Dulaglutide (Trulicity).

    In dulaglutide-treated patients with diabetes, beta-cell function markers were significantly associated with HbA1c change after baseline HbA1c adjustment.

    In plain wordsIn dulaglutide users, beta-cell markers were linked to HbA1c changes after adjustment for starting HbA1c.

    Summary
    FCPR was also a significant predictor for achieving a reduction in HbA1c of at least 1% (P = 0.044) with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.83 (sensitivity = 0.81 and specificity = 0.79).
