| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To compare characteristics of hypoglycemic episodes in patients with type 2 diabetes receiving saxagliptin or glipizide add-on therapy to metformin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a post hoc analysis of an international, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, active-controlled, phase 3 trial. The 52-week trial and 52-week extension were conducted from December 2007 to August 2010. Patients aged ≥18 years with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) >6.5% to 10.0% receiving stable metformin doses (≥1500 mg/d) were randomized 1:1 to add-on therapy with saxagliptin 5 mg/d or glipizide 5 to 20 mg/d (titrated to optimal effect or highest tolerable dose during the initial 18 weeks). Hypoglycemic episodes were recorded in patient diaries. Confirmed hypoglycemic events were defined as fingerstick glucose ≤50 mg/dL (≤2.8 mmol/L) with associated symptoms. RESULTS: Of 858 patients randomized, 428 received saxagliptin + metformin, and 430 received glipizide + metformin. Saxagliptin was noninferior to glipizide in lowering HbA1c. Hypoglycemia with saxagliptin + metformin and glipizide + metformin was reported by 15 (24 events) and 165 (896 events) patients, respectively, through week 104. The mean (SD) number of hypoglycemic events per patient reporting hypoglycemia was lower with saxagliptin + metformin versus glipizide + metformin through weeks 52 (1.5 [SD 0.88] vs 4.8 [SD 4.9], respectively) and 104 (1.6 [SD 0.99] vs 5.4 [SD 5.8]). Most patients receiving glipizide + metformin with hypoglycemia had multiple events (124/165 patients [75%]). Confirmed hypoglycemia, major events, and severe events occurred only with glipizide + metformin. Time to first hypoglycemic event was shorter with glipizide versus saxagliptin. Limitations of this analysis include its post hoc nature, a high rate of study discontinuation, and exclusion of patients with serious comorbidities and complications. CONCLUSION: Saxagliptin + metformin was associated with fewer patients reporting hypoglycemia and fewer and less severe hypoglycemic events in those experiencing hypoglycemia compared with glipizide + metformin.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
