Abstract
AIMS To determine the degree and factors related to non-insulin antidiabetic drug (NIAD) adherence in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) treated in primary carecentres in Spain. METHODS We did a cross-sectional study. During the study visit, variables related todifferent clinical characteristics, Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale Spanishversion (ARMS-e) and usage of NIAD were collected. We estimated the adherence toNIADs using the proportion of days covered (PDC) equation. RESULTS In total, 515 participants were included in the study. The mean PDC ratio was70.6 ( ± 28.9), and 50.5% (260) were classified as good adherent (PDC ≥80). Good adherence was highest among users of metformin (67.3%) and lowest among the participants using thiazolidinedione (0.8%). The score for ARMS-e was higher in the poor adherence group. In the multivariable analysis, HbA1c and the use of GLP1-RA or SGLT-2i were negatively associated with good adherence (odds ratio [OR]: 0.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.54, 0.82, OR: 0.20, 95%CI: 0.08, 0.46; OR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.35, 0.89, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Adherence to NIADs observed in our study is far from optimal. HbA1c and ARMS-e items could be used as adherence indicators to encourage treatment changes to improve T2DM control.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the first manifestation of cardiovascular or kidney disease (CVKD) and associated resource use in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients during seven years of follow-up. METHODS Observational-retrospective secondary data study using medical records of patients aged ≥18 years with T2DM and without prior CVKD between 2013 and 2019. The index date was 01/01/2013 (fixed date). The manifestation of CVKD was defined by the first diagnosis of heart-failure (HF), chronic-kidney disease (CKD), myocardial-infarction (MI), stroke or peripheral-artery disease (PAD). The main variables were baseline characteristics, manifestation of CVKD, mortality, resource use and costs. Descriptive analyses and Cox model were applied to the data. RESULTS 26,542 patients were selected (mean age: 66.6 years, women: 47.8%, mean duration of T2DM: 17.1 years). 18.7% (N=4974) developed a first CVKD manifestation during the seven years [distribution: HF (22.4%), CKD (36.6%), MI (14.5%), stroke (15.3%) and PAD (11.3%)]. Overall mortality was 8.3% (N=2214). The mortality risk of the group that developed HF or CKD as the first manifestation compared to the CVKD-free cohort was higher [HR: 2.5 (95% CI: 1.8-3.4) and 1.8 (95% CI: 1.4-2.3)], respectively. The cumulative costs per patient of HF (€50,942.80) and CKD (€48,979.20) were higher than MI (€47,343.20) and stroke (€47,070.30) and similar to PAD (€51,240.00) vs. €13,098.90 in patients who did not develop CVKD, p<0.001. CONCLUSIONS In T2DM patients, HF and CKD were the first most common manifestations and had higher mortality and re-hospitalisation rates. HF and CKD were associated with the highest resource use and costs for the Spanish National-Health-System.

The Cost-Effectiveness of Oral Semaglutide in Spain: A Long-Term Health Economic Analysis Based on the PIONEER Clinical Trials. Adv Ther 2022; 39:3180-3198. [PMID: 35553372 DOI: 10.1007/s12325-022-02156-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Novel glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist oral semaglutide has demonstrated greater improvements in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body weight versus oral medications empagliflozin and sitagliptin, and injectable GLP-1 analog liraglutide, in the PIONEER clinical trial program. Based on these data, the present analysis aimed to evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of oral semaglutide versus empagliflozin, sitagliptin and liraglutide in Spain. METHODS Outcomes were projected over patients' lifetimes using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model (v9.0), discounted at 3.0% annually. Cohort characteristics and treatment effects were sourced from PIONEER 2 and 4 for the comparisons of oral semaglutide 14 mg versus empagliflozin 25 mg and liraglutide 1.8 mg, respectively, and PIONEER 3 for oral semaglutide 7 and 14 mg versus sitagliptin 100 mg. Costs were accounted from a healthcare payer perspective in 2020 euros (EUR). Patients were assumed to receive initial therapies until HbA1c exceeded 7.5% and then treatment-intensified to basal insulin. RESULTS Oral semaglutide 14 mg was associated with improvements in quality-adjusted life expectancy of 0.13, 0.19 and 0.06 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) versus empagliflozin 25 mg, sitagliptin 100 mg and liraglutide 1.8 mg, respectively, with direct costs EUR 168 higher versus empagliflozin and EUR 236 and 1415 lower versus sitagliptin and liraglutide, respectively. Oral semaglutide 14 mg was associated with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of EUR 1339 per QALY gained versus empagliflozin and was considered dominant (clinically superior and cost saving) versus sitagliptin and liraglutide. Additional analyses demonstrated that oral semaglutide 7 mg was associated with improvements of 0.11 QALYs and increased costs of EUR 226 versus sitagliptin and was therefore associated with an ICER of EUR 2011 per QALY gained. CONCLUSION Oral semaglutide 14 mg was dominant versus sitagliptin and liraglutide, and cost-effective versus empagliflozin, for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Spain.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of dapagliflozin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Spain: results of the DECLARE-TIMI 58 study. BMC Health Serv Res 2022; 22:217. [PMID: 35177053 PMCID: PMC8851809 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-022-07567-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to carry out a cost-effectiveness analysis of dapagliflozin, as an add-on therapy to standard of care (SoC), for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Spain, based on the results of the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial. METHODS A discrete event simulation model (Cardiff T2DM) based on the data observed in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial was adapted to the Spanish setting to estimate the costs and health outcomes of treatment with dapagliflozin in patients with T2DM who had or were at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Macrovascular events (hospitalization for heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, and unstable angina), end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality were modeled according to the survival equations of the DECLARE-TIMI 58 study. Microvascular events (blindness and ulcers) were estimated based on the risk equations of the UK Prospective Diabetes Study. The analysis was conducted from the Spanish National Health System perspective and the time horizon was 30 years. The results were evaluated in terms of cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Only direct health costs were included, and a 3% discount rate was applied to costs and health outcomes. Univariate and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) were made to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS In the main analysis, dapagliflozin was a dominant therapeutic option compared with placebo, with greater effectiveness (0.08 QALYs) and lower associated total costs per patient (€ -2,921). The univariate sensitivity analysis and the PSA confirmed the robustness of the results. The PSA showed the probability that dapagliflozin was a dominant alternative compared with placebo was 84.2% and that it was cost-effective of 92.1%, under a willingness-to-pay of € 20,000/QALY gained. CONCLUSIONS The analysis of data from the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial shows that dapagliflozin would be a cost-effective option in Spain for the treatment of adult patients with T2DM, as an add-on therapy to SoC, compared with placebo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the prescription pattern of the different dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4is), depending on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) under real-world clinical practice conditions. METHOD This was a descriptive, observational study using a population database (SIDIAP Catalonia). Subjects diagnosed with T2DM with kidney function assessed and on active treatment with DPP4is were enrolled. Patients were included at the time of the measurement of eGFR (CKD-epi) and were monitored for 6 months after enrolment. For each subject, the prescribed daily dose (PDD) of DPP4i, the theoretical dose according to the degree of renal failure established by the recommendations in the summary of product characteristics (DDD-adj), and the PDR ratio (PDD/DDD-adj) were estimated. A subject was considered overtreated if his/her RDR was greater than 1.2 (>20%). RESULTS The study sample consisted of 72,135 subjects with a mean age of 69.7 (±11.6) years and 55.9% males. The proportion of patients overtreated varied depending on the type of DPP4i and the renal function stage. Overall, overdosage was recorded in 7.15% of all DPP4i treatments. In advanced stages (IIIb, IV, and V), overdosage was much higher (36.8% for all DPP4is, and 58.7% if linagliptin is excluded). DISCUSSION Under real-world clinical practice conditions, more than one third of T2DM patients with advanced renal failure were overdosed with DPP4is because the doses were not adequately adjusted to the glomerular filtration rate of each patient.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the project was to describe the preferences related to the medication attributes of people with diabetes mellitus (DM) treated in Spain. METHODS The project was carried out in four different phases. In phase A, a Steering Committee defined and selected a total of 18 attributes for treating DM and grouped them into four categories: health outcomes, adverse events, treatment characteristics and cost of treatment. In phase B, a questionnaire according to a discrete choice experiment (DCE) methodology was developed. In phase C, the online DCE survey was sent to members of associations of people with DM from the Spanish Diabetes Federation (FEDE). Finally, in phase D, the results were discussed in a deliberative process. RESULTS Of the 238 participants who completed the questionnaire (May-September 2020), 231 were included (mean age, 58 years; males, 62%). The DCE results showed that the best-valued category was health outcomes (39.67%), followed by adverse events (26.85%), treatment characteristics (21.70%) and treatment costs (11.77%). Ten of 18 attributes had a significant effect on participants' choice (p < 0.05) and the highest relative importance value: blood pressure reduction (12.82%), hypoglycaemia (12.77%), HbA1c level reduction (8.54%), cost of the medication (8.13%), needle/tablet size (7.20%), weight change (6.72%), risk of genitourinary infections (6.36%), gastrointestinal problems (5.82%), improved kidney function (5.53%) and administration route (5.41%). CONCLUSIONS People with DM prefer a treatment that generates benefits in measurable health effects (reducing blood pressure and HbA1c level, while not risking hypoglycaemia) and a convenient route of administration. Considering the preferences of people with DM could generate better clinical results and therapeutic adherence, reducing morbidity, mortality and disease burden.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic education is an essential part in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Implementing a therapeutic education program with the participation of a diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) addressed to patients with T2D using more than 2 insulin injections and sub-optimal metabolic control in primary care (PC) could improve health care and clinical outcomes. Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical, educational and patient satisfaction outcomes of this program. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, longitudinal study was performed with an evaluation before and after the intervention. The program had a duration of 6 months and included individual on-site, phone and group visits. RESULTS 184 subjects were included and 161 were finally evaluated. 89.4% were included due to sub-optimal metabolic control and 10.6% because of repeated hypoglycemia. In the first group, the mean reduction in HbA1c was -1.34%±1.45% without any increase in hypoglycemia episodes. In the second group, a significant reduction in hypoglycemia episodes/week was observed (2.52±1.66 vs. 0.53±1.06; p<0.05) without any increase in HbA1c. Learning skills, lifestyle, adherence to care, and the perception of quality of life had significantly improved at 6 months (p<0.05). The overall program was positively evaluated by patients, the role of DSN being considered essential by 98% of the responders. CONCLUSION A structured therapeutic education program, including a DSN, addressed to insulin treated T2D patients attending primary care facilities and with sub-optimal metabolic control is associated with beneficial effects in terms of clinical, educational and patient satisfaction endpoints.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adherence to treatment and hypoglycemia awareness are strongly linked to glycemic control and hypoglycemia risk in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Community pharmacies are suitable facilities to detect these conditions, and should be involved in the strategies to minimize the associated risks and burden. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study conducted at community pharmacies across Spain assessed the prevalence of low adherence to antidiabetic treatments, the frequency of impaired hypoglycemia awareness, and their predictive factors. Adherence was measured with the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and electronic records of dispensed treatments. The Clarke questionnaire was used to assess impaired hypoglycemia awareness. Healthcare counseling provided in the pharmacy was collected. RESULTS Seventy-nine pharmacists and 618 subjects with T2DM participated in the study. Mean age in the overall T2DM population was 67 years, being the majority (69%) pensioners. Adherence was high in 41% of participants, medium in 35%, and low in 24% according to the MMAS-8. Impaired hypoglycemia awareness was observed in 25% of participants. Main determinants of low adherence were the level of education, the number of treatments per patient, hypoglycemia awareness, and the type of pharmacy. Predictive factors of impaired hypoglycemia awareness were the level of education, information on diabetes-related complications, adherence levels, and the type of pharmacy. The proportion of participants who had healthcare counseling was 71% in the overall population and 100% in subjects with impaired hypoglycemia awareness and low adherence. Healthcare counseling comprised diabetes education (69%), pharmacotherapeutic assessment (20%), and physician referrals (11%). CONCLUSION Lack of adherence to antidiabetic treatments and impaired hypoglycemia awareness are frequent and correlate in T2DM. Community pharmacies can detect these conditions and should have an active role in the design of strategies to minimize them.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION FreeStyle Libre® 2 system is a sensor-based flash-monitoring system that measures interstitial fluid glucose. The study aimed to compare cost of FreeStyle Libre 2 system and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) population from the Spanish Health System perspective. METHODS On the basis of data collected from a literature review, the cost of glucose monitoring was modelled for patients with T2DM on a basal-bolus insulin regimen. The cost estimate included annual consumption for glucose monitoring (strips, lancets and sensors) and severe hypoglycaemic events (SHE) management. A published rate of SHE (2.5 episodes/patient-year) was considered. A reduction of SHE (- 48.8%) associated with FreeStyle Libre 2 system, derived from the REPLACE trial, was applied. Hospital attendance for 20.5% of SHEs (with subsequent hospitalization in 16.0%) was applied. Consumption of strips and lancets was set at 6/day for SMBG (derived from national monitoring recommendations), and 0.2/day for FreeStyle Libre 2 system users, with 26 FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors/year. Unitary costs (€, year 2020 excluding VAT) were derived from literature (€0.28/strip; €0.09/lancet; €3.09/daily FM sensor; €3804/hospitalized SHE; €1794/hospital-attended non-admitted SHE; €389/community-attended SHE). RESULTS Costs were €2700 and €2120/year/patient using SMBG or FreeStyle Libre 2 system, respectively. For 1000 patients with T2DM using basal-bolus insulin, 1220 SHEs/year (with 48 hospitalizations) could be prevented and FreeSytle Libre 2 system could generate cost savings of up to €580,953/year versus SMBG (- 21.5%). CONCLUSION FreeStyle Libre 2 system is a potential cost-saving strategy in patients with T2DM in Spain on a basal-bolus insulin regimen.

Abstract
AIMS To describe the characteristics and antidiabetic treatment among type 2 diabetes patients according to the clinical conditions prioritized in the Spanish 2020 RedGDPS (Primary Care Diabetes Study Groups Network) therapeutic algorithm: obesity, older than 75 years, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and heart failure. METHODS Retrospective, cross-sectional study. Clinical characteristics, the use of antidiabetic drugs and the KDIGO renal risk categories at 31.12.2016 were retrieved from the SIDIAP (Information System for Research in Primary Care) database (Catalonia, Spain). RESULTS From a total of 373,185 type 2 diabetes patients, 37% were older than 75 years, 45% obese, 33% had chronic kidney disease, 23.2% cardiovascular disease and 6.9% heart failure. Insulin was more frequently prescribed in chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and heart failure whereas Sodium-Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and Glucagon Like Peptide 1 receptor agonists were scarcely prescribed (2.6% and 1.4%, respectively). Among patients with severe renal failure, contraindicated drugs like metformin (16%) and sulfonylureas (6.1%) were still in use. The 2012 KDIGO renal risk categories distribution was: Low: 60.9%, Moderate: 21.6%, High: 9.8% and Very high: 7.7%. CONCLUSIONS Almost 80% of our T2DM patients meet one of the five clinical conditions that should be considered for treatment individualization. Importantly, a relevant number of patients with severe renal failure were found to use contraindicated drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate treatment persistence in patients with polymedicated type 2 diabetes (DM2) receiving new treatment with brand-name vs. generic metformin 850mg in usual clinical practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS Observational, retrospective study based on the medical records of patients aged ≥50 years who initiated metformin treatment (brand-name vs. generic) between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2017. The follow up was two years. MAIN MEASURES treatment persistence and clinical consequences (metabolic control [HbA1c] and hospital admissions). Each patient in the brand-name group (reference) was paired with a patient from the generic group using propensity score matching. A Cox proportional risk model was constructed (p<0.05). RESULTS 863 patients receiving brand-name metformin were matched (ratio 1:1) with patients receiving generic metformin. The median age was 60.8 years (SD: 8.8) years and 52.6% were female. Persistence at 24 months was 8.6% higher for brand-name vs. generic metformin (63.2% vs. 58.2%; p=0.034). The hazard ratio for brand-name metformin was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.71-0.96, p=0.013). During the follow-up there was a greater percentage reduction of HbA1c in the brand-name vs. generic group (-6.8% vs. -4.1%; p=0.013). There was a non-significant 19.1% reduction in hospital admissions in the brand-name vs. generic group (8.9% vs. 11.0%; p=0.148). CONCLUSIONS Polymedicated patients who initiated new brand-name metformin treatment for DM2 had greater treatment persistence than those who initiated it with generic metformin and had better metabolic control (percentage reduction in HbA1c).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic education is an essential part in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). Implementing a therapeutic education program with the participation of a diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) addressed to patients with T2D using more than 2insulin injections and sub-optimal metabolic control in primary care (PC) could improve health care and clinical outcomes. Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical, educational and patient satisfaction outcomes of this program. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, longitudinal study was performed with an evaluation before and after the intervention. The program had a duration of 6 months and included individual on-site, phone and group visits. RESULTS 184 subjects were included and 161 were finally evaluated. 89.4% were included due to sub-optimal metabolic control and 10.6% because of repeated hypoglycemia. In the first group, the mean reduction in HbA1c was -1.34±1.45% without any increase in hypoglycemia episodes. In the second group, a significant reduction in hypoglycemia episodes/week was observed (2.52±1.66 vs. 0.53±1.06; P<.05) without any increase in HbA1c. Learning skills, lifestyle, adherence to care, and the perception of quality of life had significantly improved at 6 months (P<.05). The overall program was positively evaluated by patients, the role of DSN being considered essential by 98% of the responders. CONCLUSION A structured therapeutic education program, including a DSN, addressed to insulin treated T2D patients attending primary care facilities and with sub-optimal metabolic control is associated with beneficial effects in terms of clinical, educational and patient satisfaction endpoints.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To update the Spanish Society of Neurology's guidelines for stroke prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, analysing the available evidence on the effect of metabolic control and the potential benefit of antidiabetic drugs with known vascular benefits in addition to conventional antidiabetic treatments in stroke prevention. DEVELOPMENT PICO-type questions (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) were developed to identify practical issues in the management of stroke patients and to establish specific recommendations for each of them. Subsequently, we conducted systematic reviews of the PubMed database and selected those randomised clinical trials evaluating stroke as an independent variable (primary or secondary). Finally, for each of the PICO questions we developed a meta-analysis to support the final recommendations. CONCLUSIONS While there is no evidence that metabolic control reduces the risk of stroke, some families of antidiabetic drugs with vascular benefits have been shown to reduce these effects when added to conventional treatments, both in the field of primary prevention in patients presenting type 2 diabetes and high vascular risk or established atherosclerosis (GLP-1 agonists) and in secondary stroke prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes (pioglitazone).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular (CV) disease affects a high percentage of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in the hospital setting, impacting on mortality, complications, quality of life and use of health resources. The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence, mean length of hospital stay (LOHS) and costs attributable to hospital admissions due to CV events in patients with T2DM versus patients without diabetes mellitus (non-DM) in Spain. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Retrospective observational study based on the Spanish National Hospital Discharge Database for 2015. Hospital admissions for patients aged ≥35 years with a diagnosis of CV death, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI), non-fatal stroke, unstable angina, heart failure and revascularization were evaluated. The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (250.x0 or 250.x2) coding was used to classify records of patients with T2DM. For each CV complication, the hospital discharges of the two groups, T2DM and non-DM, were precisely matched and the number of hospital discharges, patients, LOHS and mean cost were quantified. Additional analyses assessed the robustness of the results. RESULTS Of the 276 925 hospital discharges analyzed, 34.71% corresponded to patients with T2DM. A higher incidence was observed in all the CV complications studied in the T2DM population, with a relative risk exceeding 2 in all cases. The mean LOHS (days) was longer in the T2DM versus the non-DM group for: non-fatal AMI (7.63 vs 7.02, p<0.001), unstable angina (5.11 vs 4.78, p=0.009) and revascularization (7.96 vs 7.57, p<0.001). The mean cost per hospital discharge was higher in the T2DM versus the non-DM group for non-fatal AMI (€6891 vs €6876, p=0.029) and unstable angina (€3386 vs €3304, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with T2DM had a higher incidence and number of hospital admissions per patient due to CV events versus the non-DM population. This generates a significant clinical and economic burden given the longer admission stay and higher costs associated with some of these complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level reflects chronic glycemic status if reliable tests are used, however, in some regions worldwide high performing assays might not be readily available. This study aimed to asses two HbA1c immunoassays, comparing them with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay, three methods available in Ecuador. MATERIAL AND METHODS HbA1c were measured in 114 fresh whole blood-samples by DCA-Vantage point-of-care analyzer, I-Chroma portable fluorescent scanner immunoassay and BioRad Variant II Turbo HPLC. Normal and pathological HbA1c ranges were included. Blood samples with variants of hemoglobin were excluded. HbA1c values were expressed in National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program percentages and mmol/mol, as mean±standard deviation. RESULTS HbA1c results by HPLC and DCA-Vantage were similar: 6.3±1.7% (45±18.6mmol/mol) vs. 6.3±1.8% (45±19.7mmol/mol), respectively, P=0.057; while HbA1c values by I-Chroma were lower than HPLC, 5.8±1.9% (40±20.8mmol/mol), P<0.001. The coefficient of variation was below 2% for high and low HbA1c levels, in all methods studied. HbA1c values by HPLC and DCA-Vantage were highly correlated (Spearman's Rank Correlation [SRC]: 0.916), while the correlation among HPLC and I-Chroma was weak (SRC: 0.368). The mean bias between DCA-Vantage and HPLC was -0.02±0.29% (-0.2±3.2mmol/mol), while for I-Chroma and HPLC mean bias was -0.50±1.62% (-5.5±17.7mmol/mol). CONCLUSION HbA1c immunoassays DCA-Vantage was comparable to HPLC assay, showing good correlation, appropriate precision and low bias, whereas I-Chroma assay was precise but inaccurate. Therefore, DCA-Vantage has better performance than I-Chroma. These findings suggest that is convenient to assess the HbA1c immunoassays commercially available in our country, Ecuador.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this Delphi study is to unveil the management of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and different levels of complexity in the clinical practice in Spain. METHODS Based on the common management practices of T2D profiles reported by Spanish endocrinologists, a Delphi questionnaire of 55 statements was developed and responded to by a national panel (n = 101). RESULTS A consensus was reached for 30 of the 55 statements. Regarding overweight patients inadequately controlled with metformin, treatment with a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I) is preferred over treatment with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4-I). If the patient is already being treated with a DPP4-I, an SGLT2-I is added on to the treatment regimen rather than replacing the DPP4-I. Conversely, if the treatment regimen includes a sulfonylurea, it is usually replaced by other antihyperglycemic agents. Current treatment trends in uncontrolled obese patients include the addition of an SGLT2-I or a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) to background therapy. When the glycated hemoglobin target is not reached, triple therapy with metformin + GLP1-RA + SGLT2-I is initiated. Although SGLT2-Is are the treatment of choice in patients with T2D and heart failure or uncontrolled hypertension, no consensus was reached regarding the preferential use of SGLT2-Is or GLP1-RAs in patients with established cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION Consensus has been reached for a variety of statements regarding the management of several T2D profiles. Achieving a more homogeneous management of complex patients with T2D may require further evidence and a better understanding of the key drivers for treatment choice.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has become one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Low efficacy, weight gain, and hypoglycemia are the main pitfalls of previous treatments for T2DM. New therapies have been designed with the aim of improving the results in efficacy and quality of life. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) increase glucose-dependent insulin secretion, decrease gastric emptying, and reduce postprandial glucagon secretion.
