The patient has been on dialysis three times a week for 4 years with a glycemic pattern characterized by severe hypoglycaemia related to the dialysis sessions, despite the reduction in insulin dosage. In October 2017 he was offered a treatment with linagliptin in combination with low-dose basal insulin, the latter withdrawn in December 2017. Follow-ups showed a good glycemic balance and no hypoglycaemic episodes (Diabetology). https://journals.aboutscience.eu/index.php/aboutopen/article/view/154Type 2 diabetesInsulinLong-term therapyNephropathyLinagliptin
