Description | Background: Among oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs), imeglimin (Twymeeg) would be in focus.
Case Presentation: The patient in this case is a 58-year-old female with a history of obesity and previous operations for posterior longitudinal ligament ossification. In early September 2022, she developed dizziness and a general feeling of unwellness, leading to a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) with an HbA1c level of 11.1%. Result: The patient was treated with a low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and Twymeeg, resulting in a significant decrease in HbA1c levels from 11.1% to 9.0%, 6.7%, and 5.9% over the course of three months. Pre-prandial and post-prandial blood glucose levels were measured with great accuracy. Discussion and Conclusion: The administration of Twymeeg was found to be effective in reducing the patient's HbA1c levels, and the relationship between HbA1c and glucose variability could be further investigated based on these results. |
