Abstract

Simultaneous control of blood glucose and other risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidaemia is essential for reducing the risk of complications associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). As relatively few patients with T2DM have their risk factors managed to within the limits recommended by the American Diabetes Association, American College of Endocrinology or National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines, treatment that can simultaneously control more than one risk factor is of therapeutic benefit. Clinical studies have shown that bile acid sequestrants have glucose‐lowering effects in addition to their low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol‐lowering effects in patients with T2DM. The bile acid sequestrant colesevelam hydrochloride is approved as an adjunct to antidiabetes therapy for improving glycaemic control in adults with T2DM. This review examines data from three phase III clinical trials that evaluated the glucose‐ and lipid‐lowering effects of colesevelam when added to the existing antidiabetes treatment regimen of patients with T2DM.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Risk of diabetic ketoacidosis is increased in persons using SGLT2 inhibitors, especially those treated with insulin (particularly with recent insulin dose reduction) and/or those with acute illness and prolonged fasting.

    “Risk of DKA is increased in persons using SGLT2is, especially in those being treated with insulin (especially if there has been a recent reduction in their insulin dose) and/or those with acute illnesses and prolonged fasting.1049,1050”

    From American Association of Clinical Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline: Developing a Diabetes Mellitus Comprehensive Care Plan-2022 Update. (2022) · cites this paper as [1050]

    The Safety of Colesevelam HCl in Combination with Existing Antidiabetes Therapy section discusses hypoglycaemia in trials that included insulin-treated patients, not ketoacidosis. Searches for SGLT2 inhibitors, DKA, insulin-dose reduction, acute illness and prolonged fasting found no passage in our copy addressing the claimed risk. The provided passages have no page numbers.

  • Colesevelam lowers LDL-C and improves glycated haemoglobin in patients with type 2 diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
