PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of SGLT2i on the GH/IGF1 axis in male patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D).

METHODS: Sixty male patients with newly diagnosed T2D were recruited, and randomly assigned to Metformin+SGLT2i group or Metformin group after baseline assessment. All patients received standard lifestyle interventions, and blood indices were obtained before and after 12 weeks of treatment.

RESULTS: After 12 weeks of treatment with Metformin+SGLT2i, there were noteworthy improvements in patients' FPG (Fasting plasma glucose), HBA1c, HOMA-IR, HOMA-β, TyG (Triglyceride-glucose) index and UACR (P < 0.05). Both IGF1 (P = 0.01) and the IGF1/IGFBP3 ratio (P < 0.01) considerably increased, while GH and IGFBP3 did not show significant changes. When comparing Metformin+SGLT2i group to Metformin group, SGLT2i significantly improved HOMA-IR [P = 0.04], and elevated IGF1/IGFBP3 ratio [P = 0.04], SGLT2i showed a tendency of increasing IGF1 (P = 0.10), but this was not statistically meaningful. There was no effect on GH and IGFBP3. Correlation analysis showed that blood IGF1 was negatively correlated with FPG, HBA1c, HOMA-IR, TyG index and positively correlated with IGFBP3. Regression analysis indicated that FPG and testosterone had a negative effect on blood IGF1 level, while HOMA-IR had no obvious effect.

CONCLUSION: In male patients with newly diagnosed T2D, SGLT2i can increase IGF1/IGFBP3 ratio, alleviate insulin resistance, but has no significant effect on GH and IGF1 levels. Additionally, our study showed that Metformin+SGLT2i treatment resulted in an increase in blood IGF1 levels and improved insulin resistance, suggesting a potentially beneficial role of IGF1 in newly diagnosed T2D.
