Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c remained stable in the basal insulin/dulaglutide group, whereas it increased at 24 months in the MDI group (+0.61 % [+6.7 mmol/mol] in the MDI group vs. +0.06 % [+0.7 mmol/mol] in the basal insulin/dulaglutide group; p = 0.02).

This study evaluated the real-world outcomes of dulaglutide in combination with basal insulin, compared to multiple daily injection (MDI) insulin regimen in kidney transplantation recipients with preexisting type 2 diabetes.
MDI users were matched with basal insulin plus dulaglutide users in a 1:1 ratio using propensity scores.
In this study, Dulaglutide (Trulicity) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Dulaglutide (Trulicity).
