Prior research has demonstrated that interventions targeting improvements in b-cell function and/or insulin sensitivity can be effective in slowing or reversing progressive loss of glycemic control. The Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Adult Medication Study asked the question of whether β-cell function be preserved or improved during 12 months of pharmacologic intervention, and maintained for 3 months following the withdrawal of therapy, in adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
RISE compared pharmacological approaches targeted to improve ß-cell function in individuals with IGT or treatment-naive type 2 diabetes of <12 months duration.
All three active treatments produced on-treatment reductions in weight and improvements in HbA1c compared with placebo, with the greatest reductions in the liraglutide plus metformin group.
At 12 months, glucose-stimulated C-peptide responses improved in the three active treatment groups and were greatest in the liraglutide plus metformin group, but the arginine-stimulated incremental C-peptide response was reduced in the liraglutide plus metformin group.
Despite on-treatment benefits, 3 months after treatment withdrawal there were no sustained improvements in ß-cell function in any treatment group.
In adults with IGT or recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes, interventions that improved ß-cell function during active treatment failed to produce persistent benefits after treatment withdrawal.
Key Messages/Clinical Perspectives
Continued intervention may be required to alter progressive ß-cell dysfunction in IGT or early type 2 diabetes.
