OBJECTIVE: To compare postprandial efficacy in type 2 diabetic patients given mitiglinide and sitagliptin, both of which are known to improve postprandial hyperglycemia, by using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). METHODS: Eleven patients with type 2 diabetes were given mitiglinide 10 mg three times a daily or sitagliptin 50 mg once a day for 1 month and were hospitalized for 4 days and evaluated by CGM. On discharge, they were crossed over to the other regimen for 1 month of treatment/4 days of evaluation. The CGM data were used to compare each parameter for glycemic variability. RESULTS: The patients were 60 ± 10 (mean ± SD) years old, and had HbA1c value 7.3 ± 0.9%. The pre-meal glucose levels before lunch were significantly lower with mitiglinide than with sitagliptin (116 ± 26/131 ± 34 mg/dl, p = 0.022). The AUC measuring over 140 mg/dl 3 h after breakfast (mitiglinide 4812 ± 4219/sitagliptin 7807 ± 6391 mg/dl·min, p = 0.042) and lunch (mitiglinide 5658 ± 5856/sitagliptin 8492 ± 7161, p = 0.050) was significantly lower with mitiglinide than with sitagliptin. CONCLUSIONS: A CGM-based comparison showed that mitiglinide and sitagliptin were different in their glucose-lowering effects, where mitiglinide significantly improved hyperglycemia after breakfast and lunch, and significantly lowered pre-meal glucose levels before lunch, compared to sitagliptin.
