We evaluated FCPR, PCPR, and ΔCPR levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who initiated dulaglutide treatment after a standardized meal tolerance test (MTT).
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.
Of all patients, 59 continued dulaglutide for at least 6 months without initiating any additional glucose-lowering medications.
