  1. Featured Article: Exenatide Treatment for 6 Months Improves Insulin Sensitivity in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Gayatri Sarkar, May Alattar, Rebecca J. Brown, Michael J. Quon, David M. Harlan, and Kristina I. Rother Diabetes Care Volume 37: 666-670 March, 2014

  2. STUDY OBJECTIVE • Exenatide treatment improves glycemia in adults with type 2 diabetes and reduces postprandial hyperglycemia in adolescents with type 1 diabetes • We studied the effects of exenatide on glucose homeostasis in adults with long-standing type 1 diabetes Sarkar G. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:666-670

  3. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS • 14 patients with type 1 diabetes participated in a crossover study of 6 months’ duration on exenatide and 6 months off exenatide • Changes in fasting and postprandial blood glucose and changes in insulin sensitivity before and after each study period were assessed Sarkar G. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:666-670

  6. RESULTS • High-dose exenatide therapy reduced postprandial blood glucose but was associated with higher fasting glucose concentrations without net changes in hemoglobin A1c • Exenatide increased insulin sensitivity beyond the effects expected as a result of weight reduction Sarkar G. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:666-670

  7. Sarkar G. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:666-670

  8. CONCLUSIONS • Exenatide is a promising adjunctive agent to insulin therapy because of its beneficial effects on postprandial blood glucose and insulin sensitivity in type 1 patients Sarkar G. et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:666-670
