During the progression of baseline FBG, β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance worsened. As FBG increased, increased BMI had a positive influence on β-cell dysfunction in all FBG groups. The independent factors that correlated to EISI differed with the increasing of baseline FBG (Journal of Diabetes Research)

Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibition Improves Incretin Sensitivity of Pancreatic β-cells in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Dapagliflozin improved β-cell responses to incretin hormones as well as glucose during the hyperglycemic clamp in patients with inadequately controlled T2DM (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Metformin Prevents Glucotoxicity by Alleviating Oxidative and ER Stress –Induced CD36 Expression in Pancreatic Beta Cells
Metformin conferred protection against HG-induced apoptosis of pancreatic beta cells, largely by interfering with ROS production, and inhibited the CD36- mediated free fatty acid influx. This report provides evidence that the inhibition of CD36 may have potential therapeutic effects against hyperglycemia-induced beta cell damage in diabetes (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
