Analysis of the effect of seasonal administration on the efficacy of sitagliptin: Subanalysis of the Januvia Multicenter Prospective Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Study

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus fluctuate throughout the year. However, there are few studies that have evaluated the therapeutic effect of hypoglycemic agents while considering such fluctuations. In a multicenter study (Januvia Multicenter Prospective Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Study), pretreatment patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into seven groups and given sitagliptin for 1 year. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the differences in the therapeutic effect, and the efficacy of sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus based on the month the administration of the drug began as a subanalysis of the Januvia Multicenter Prospective Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Study.
