Risk of insulin initiation with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors versus dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A real-world claims database study in Japan
Aims: Insulin therapy is a cornerstone in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management, but its use is associated with several barriers, including hypoglycaemia, fear of injections and high costs. We compared the risk of insulin initiation and other treatment intensification between patients with T2DM newly treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) versus those newly treated with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i). Materials and
Methods: This Japanese retrospective cohort study was conducted between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2023 using the JMDC Claims Database. Patients with T2DM newly treated with an SGLT2i or a DPP4i were matched 1:1 using propensity score (n = 18 488 each). Incidence rates (IR) of insulin initiation, other antidiabetic drugs (OAD) and antihypertensive drugs added onto baseline treatment were calculated for each treatment group. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a Cox proportional hazards model.
Results: The IR of insulin initiation was 0.95 and 2.12 per 1000 person-years in the SGLT2i and DPP4i groups, respectively, with significantly lower risk in the SGLT2i group than in the DPP4i group (HR 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28–0.74, p = 0.001). The risks of OAD (HR 0.66, 95% CI: 0.64–0.69, p < 0.001) and antihypertensive drugs (HR 0.90, 95% CI: 0.85–0.95, p < 0.001) added onto baseline treatment were lower in the SGLT2i group than in the DPP4i group. Conclusions: The risk of insulin initiation was lower in patients with T2DM newly treated with an SGLT2i than in those newly treated with a DPP4i. SGLT2i may reduce or delay the need for insulin therapy. © 2025 The Author(s). Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
