Abstract

There have been conflicting results regarding the effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) as an adjunctive therapy to oral antidiabetic medication (OAM) in those with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). PPIs increase gastrin levels, causing a rise in insulin. No studies have evaluated the duration of PPI therapy and its effect on glycemic control. Medical records across 8 hospitals between 2007 and 2016 were reviewed for 14,602 patients with T2DM (not on insulin therapy) taking PPIs. Values of HbA1c (baseline, follow-up, and the difference between the two) in those prescribed with PPIs and years of therapy were compared to HbA1c values of those who had no record of PPI use. Baseline and follow-up HbA1c for patients on PPIs were 6.8 and 7.0, respectively, compared to 7.1 and 7.2 in their untreated counterparts (
