Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To investigate the contribution of glycosylated haemoglobin change (HbA1c) on body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes after start of insulin therapy. We analysed 122 individual weight-profiles in relation to the change in HbA1c per se in these patients up to 36 months after the start of insulin therapy. Data were analysed separately for the first 9 months after commencement of insulin therapy and for the period thereafter. Within the first 9 months of insulin therapy mean body weight increased by 0.52 kg per month. HbA1c decreased from 9.9 ± 1.8 to 7.9 ± 1.3%. Only 12% of the initial weight gain could be attributed to the change in HbA1c. Furthermore, the mean monthly increase in body weight gain was reduced by 0.006 kg for every 1 kg higher body weight at baseline. From 9 to 36 months after start of insulin therapy, body weight increased by 0.1 kg/month, which was independent of change in HbA1c. Improvement of glycaemic control per se contributes little to initial weight gain after start of insulin therapy in patients with T2DM. After 9 months of insulin treatment, weight gain is unrelated to change in glycosylated haemoglobin. Other factors have to be responsible for weight gain after start of insulin therapy.
