Abstract | INTRODUCTION: CASE REPORT:
Exenatide therapy was initiated for a 59-year-old morbidly obese Japanese woman with type 2 diabetes. To examine the effects of the exenatide treatment, continuous glucose monitoring was performed, and blood was drawn at 0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 min after breakfast to measure insulin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) levels. After 1 year of exenatide therapy, the patient lost 37.5 kg, her glycemic control improved, and her insulin sensitivity recovered. The patient's levels of insulin, glucagon, active GLP-1, and total GIP also decreased after 1 year of exenatide treatment. CONCLUSION:
