Description
Background: Oral semaglutide (imeglimin) has been prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) as Twymeeg.
Case presentation: The patient is 77-year-old male with hypertension, previous cerebral vascular accident (CVA). He continued unbalanced meal with preference of much carbohydrate. In Sept 2021, he became diabetic with HbA1c 8.8%.
Results: Imeglimin 2000mg/day was started improving to 6.7% for 2 months.
Discussion: Complete blood count (CBC) showed decreased Hb and increased MCV, suggesting macrocytic anemia for lack of vegetables. Much carbohydrate intake may bring T2D. Remarkable diabetic improvement may be from dual mechanisms for increasing insulin secretion and decreasing insulin resistance.
