Improvements in beta-cell function lost on treatment withdrawal

In this study, the effects of different pharmacological approaches to improving beta-cell function were compared in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance and in treatment-naive individuals with diabetes duration of less than a year. Participants were randomised to receive 12 months of metformin alone, insulin glargine followed by metformin, 12 months of liraglutide plus metformin or 12 months of placebo. Researchers found that pharmaceutical interventions improved beta-cell function during active treatment but failed to produce persistent benefits after treatment withdrawal in people with impaired glucose tolerance or recently-diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
