Researchers investigate adding diabetes pills to insulin for type 1 diabetes
NCT ID NCT07415226
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look back at medical records of 500 Chinese adults with type 1 diabetes to see if adding glucose-lowering pills to insulin helps control blood sugar better than insulin alone. The main goal is to check changes in HbA1c (average blood sugar over 2-3 months) and how much insulin patients need. It is an observational study, meaning researchers will not give any treatments but will analyze existing data.

Who is studied
The study population consists of Chinese adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who met the predefined eligibility criteria, enrolled from January 2013 to June 2024. The population is divided into two cohorts: the study cohort (T1DM patients who first used oral GLDs as adjuvant therapy to insulin) and the control cohort (T1DM patients who maintained insulin monotherapy). All participants had an HbA1c level of ≥ 7% at baseline, were ≥ 18 years old, had at least one recorded HbA1c value before treatment initiation, and maintained the required medication regimen for at least 3 months. Patients with DKA, severe comorbidities, stress hyperglycemia, or incomplete medical records were excluded. This study population is representative of real-world T1DM patients with poor long-term blood glucose control who require adjuvant GLDs or maintain insulin monotherapy, ensuring the external validity of the study results.
