Brief Summary
This is a multicentric, prospective, parallel groups study. Patient recruitment will be carried out at the U.O. Departmental Endocrinology and Diabetology ASST FBF Sacco, Fatebenefratelli and Ophthalmic Hospital, and at the SSD of Endocrine Diseases and Diabetology ASST FBF Sacco, L. Sacco Hospital. At the screening visit, patients being treated with sulfonylureas / glinids will be shifted, depending on the subject's biochemical and phenotypic characteristics, based on current prescribing criteria and diabetes complications, to one of 4 different types of treatment:
- 1.GROUP 1: SGLT2 inhibitors +/- Metformin
- 2.GROUP 2: DPP4 inhibitors +/- Metformin
- 3.GROUP 3: GLP1-RA + Long-acting insulin +/- Metformin
- 4.GROUP 4: SGLT2 inhibitors + DPP4 inhibitors +/- Metformin At the screening visit the clinician will evaluate which new treatment to assign to the patient, based on the subject's biochemical and phenotypic characteristics, current prescribing criteria and existing complications (Algorithm for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, SID-AMD Care Standard 2018)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Concentration of the glyco-metabolic parameters
Evaluation of the new generation hypoglicemic drugs on Hba1c, blood glucose, lipidic profile
12 months
Therapeutic adherence
Assessment of adherence to the doctor's prescription of new generation hypoglycaemic drugs
12 months
Long-term diabetes complications
Evaluation of the effect of new generation hypoglycemic drugs on the long-term complications of diabetes compared to the effect obtained with sulphonylureas
12 months
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Values of the insulin-sensitivity
12 months
Therapeutic compliance, even in populations over 70 years.
12 months
Insulin parameters after shift to new-generation hypoglycaemic therapeutic regimens
12 months
Study Arms (4)
Group 1
SGLT2 inibitori +/- Metformin
Group 2
DPP4 inibitori +/- Metformin
Group 3
GLP1-RA + Long-Acting Insulin +/- Metformin
Group 4
SGLT2 inibitori + DPP4 inibitori +/- Metformin
Interventions
Substitution of sulfonylureas with other classes of new hypoglycaemic drugs. In every group, it will be evaluated: * efficacy in terms of glycometabolic compensation (glycemia, HbA1c, lipid profile); * effects on BMI, blood pressure monitoring and hypoglycemic risk; * changes in renal function and microalbuminuria; * tolerability and side effects of the new therapeutic regimes; * therapeutic adherence; * post-prandial glycemic excursion, determined by a 6-point glycemic diary (pre- and 2h post-prandial glucose values) to be performed at home in the week before the scheduled follow-up visit; * effects on chronic complications of diabetes and cardiovascular safety.
Eligibility Criteria
The size of the sample chosen is such in consideration of the average number of patients suffering from type 2 Diabetes Mellitus treated by the Diabetology Clinics of the participating structures in the study and therefore will allow us to complete enrollment within the first months of the study
You may qualify if:
- Age over 18 years;
- % \<HbA1c \<11%;
- Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus;
- Active treatment with sulfonylureas / glinids, both in monotherapy and in association with other long-acting hypoglycemic / insulins.
- Written informed consent of the patient or a legal guardian signed and dated
You may not qualify if:
- Patients suffering from severe systemic diseases, fever, known chronic inflammatory states
- PCR determinants\> 10 mg/L;
- HbA1c\> 11% or HbA1c \<6.5%;
- Use of corticosteroids at the time of enrollment;
- Poor patient understanding of spoken and written Italian;
- Absent compliance.
