| Popis: | Patients with prediabetes are not only at increased risk of progression to type 2 diabetes, but they are also at high risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) risk compared to normoglycemic people. Further, prediabetes is also often associated with abnormal lipid levels (dyslipidemia). We therefore aimed to evaluate the effect of saroglitazar in patients with prediabetes and dyslipidemia. This was a prospective, single centre, single arm study involving patients with pre-diabetes and dyslipidemia. Subjects with baseline HbA1c 5.7-6.4% and dyslipidemia were enrolled in this study. Subjects with on-going medications affecting blood glucose or lipids were excluded from the study. Saroglitazar 4mg once daily was administered for a period of 24 weeks. The primary outcome was change in serum triglycerides and secondary outcome parameters included changes in other lipid parameters and HbA1c levels at 24 weeks follow-up. Forty patients with prediabetes and dyslipidemia were enrolled in the study. At 24 weeks follow-up, serum triglycerides was significantly reduced from 348 mg/dl to 216 mg/dl (P |
