Evaluation of the Effects of Exenatide Administration in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Worsened Glycemic Control Caused by Glucocorticoid Therapy

Abstract: Glucocorticoid-induced hyperglycemia is common in patients with or without known diabetes mellitus. Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, improves glycemic control without causing weight gain or hypoglycemia and is currently widely used in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We herein report four cases of patients with type 2 diabetes with worsened glycemic control due to glucocorticoids who were successfully treated with exenatide administration.

“…Corticosteroids are used for induction therapy, maintenance therapy, and treating organ rejection. Prednisone and methylprednisolone have each been shown to dose dependently induce hyperglycemia, increase insulin resistance and hepatic gluconeogenesis, inhibit insulin secretion, and potentiate the effects of glucoregulatory hormones such as glucagon and epinephrine (14,15). Incremental dose increases of 0.1 mg/kg prednisolone per day was shown to correlate with a 5% increased risk of NODAT and a 4% increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance in a study evaluating renal transplant patients (16).…”

“…30,31 A perfusão intravenosa de exenatido demonstrou também melhorar significativamente a hiperglicémia induzida pelos GC, associando-se a um aumento da secreção de insulina e diminuição das concentrações de glucagon. 30,32 Apesar dos benefícios demonstrados, a sua utilização associa-se a elevado custo e a sua aplicabilidade nos doentes com DM induzida pela corticoterapia ainda está em estudo.…”

“…Intravenous exenatide improved blood glucose in healthy subjects taking high-dose prednisolone for 2 days (81). However, apart from case reports (82), longer-term data on the efficacy of GLP-1 agonists in patients taking prednisolone is lacking. Liraglutide has not been studied in patients on prednisolone but its non-glycaemic effects are favourable as it can cause weight loss and reduce fracture and cardiovascular risk (73,83).…”
