Type 2 diabetes is a worldwide epidemic disease, and preventive strategies are needed to face this health problem. The goal of this trial is to evaluate the effect of empagliflozin + linagliptin + metformin + lifestyle on physiopathological parameters, sush as glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, pancreatic beta cell function and cardiovascular function in patients with impaired fasting glucose plus impaired glucose tolerance, during 12 months
The main goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of two different treatments during 12 months: 1. Lifestyle modification program + metformin 850 mg twice daily 2. Lifestyle modification program empagliflozin (12.5 mg) + metformin (850 mg) once daily plus linagliptin (2.5 mg) + metformin (850 mg) once daily On the following parameters, after 12 months of treatment 1\) Glucose metabolism, evaluated by oral glucose tolerance test 2) Insulin resistance evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance 3) Insulin secretion, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance 4) Pancreatic beta cell function, evaluated by the oral glucose tolerance test 5) Cardiovascular function, evaluated by standard echocardiography by left ventricular ejection fraction All the patients will have a basal evaluation with an oral glucose tolerance test, lipid profile and body composition measurement by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). After the basal evaluation, if the patients results with impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance, they will be invited to the intervention phase where they will be randomized to one of the two treatment groups. Patients will have a follow-up visit every month to review the adherence to the lifestyle modification program and to the medication, and every 6 months an OGTT. After 12 months , patients will repeat the same evaluation performed at basal.
