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.

Statistics

Figures

Figure 1 Mean change from baseline to endpoint LOCF in (A) HbA1c and (B) FPG with addition of colesevelam hydrochloride compared with placebo to ongoing metformin, sulfonylurea or insulin antidiabetes therapies in patients with T2DM. Endpoint was 26 weeks in the metformin and sulfonylurea trials, and 16 weeks in the insulin trial. Numbers above the bracketed pairs of bars are the mean treatment difference from baseline ± s.e. N is the number of patients with values at both baseline and endpoint. For HbA1c conversion from % to mmol/mol (%HbA1c—2.15*10.929); for FPG conversion from mg/dl to mmol/l, multiply by 0.0555. FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin; HCl, hydrochloride; LOCF, last observation carried forward; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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.
