Effects of Vildagliptin Versus Glibenclamide on Glycemia After Exercise in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Summary

Exercise is considered a way to benefit the health of unhealthy and healthy individuals. This is confirmed by different scientific researches, in which people who participated improve their health. The present study will be conducted to test the hypothesis that vildagliptin associated with metformin may have more impact in improving glucose variability after a sub-maximal exercise test, as compared to glibenclamide. Our general aim will be to evaluate glucose variability after the submaximal exercise test under the treatment with vildagliptin or glibenclamide. The specific aims of this study are to evaluate the oxidative stress, endothelial function, metabolic and cardiovascular responses to exercise under the treatment with vildagliptin or glibenclamide. All these responses are important in patients with Diabetes Mellitus type II. Allied to the patient's routine treatment (metformin), they will receive orally a second drug, to take in 12 weeks. The patients will be raffled to take one of the two drugs that act on glycemia, that are called vildagliptin (50 mg of this drug twice a day) and glibenclamide (5 mg once a day during the first week and later you will increase to 5 mg twice a day). The metformin drug will continue be used.

Patients who meet the eligible criteria for the study will first make the test of the maximum effort, to determination of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and ventilatory thresholds. Forty eight hours after this test, patients will be allowed to do the pre-drugs protocol that will be given in three consecutive days as explained below.

* Day 1: Begin a 24-hour urinary collection, perform vascular doppler ultrasound to evaluate endothelial function and then the glucose sensor will be inserted subcutaneously (begin continuous glucose monitoring system - CGMS evaluation);
* Day 2: End the 24-hour urinary collection, submit to the submaximal test (blood collection at baseline, 15 and 30 min of the session, and 60 min after recovery). On the same day, the patients will begin 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24h-ABPM).
* Day 3: Removal of the glucose sensor; end of the 24h ABPM, randomization. This same protocol, except the randomization will be repeated at the end of the 12 week treatment.

Conditions

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
• Hypoglycemic Agents
• Diabetic Blood Glucose Monitoring
• Exercise

Interventions

DRUG

MET + Vildagliptin Group

Vidagliptin group will receive 50mg of this drug twice a day during 12 weeks added to usual metformin. For the glicemic control evaluation will be used the capilar glycemia at home. The adjustments will be done by the researcher coordinator.

DRUG

MET + Glibenclamide Group

The initial dose of glibenclamide group will be 5mg / day during the first week of study, later it will increase to 10 mg / day (2 x 5mg). With the control the dose may be adjusted, reaching the maximum dose allowed, which is 20 mg / day. For the glycemic control evaluation will be used the capillar glycemia at home. The adjustments will be done by the researcher coordinator.
