Abstract: Objective To analyze the influencing factors of adverse drug reaction (ADR) of glimepiride and their effect on the efficacy of treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods From June 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020, 123 patients with T2DM admitted to our hospital were prospectively selected and treated with glimepiride. The incidence of ADR was recorded, and these patients were divided into the ADR group and non-ADR group according to the presence or absence of ADR. The baseline data, blood glucose levels [fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2hBG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)], pancreatic β cell function [homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), homeostasis model assessment for β-cell function (HOMA-β)] and blood lipids [triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] were compared between the two groups. Factors affecting the ADR of glimepiride were analyzed, and the efficacy of treatment was compared between the two groups. Results After the 123 patients with T2DM were treated with glimepiride, ADR occurred in 29 of them (23.58%). Age over 70, alcohol consumption, off-label medications, single doses of 2~4 mg, lack of compliance, and long medication were independent risk factors for ADR of glimepiride (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the ADR group was 72.41% (21/29), which was lower than 92.55% (87/94) in the non-ADR group (P<0.05). Conclusion The risk of ADR associated with glimepiride is high among those who are over 70 years old, drink alcohol, take large single doses, and take this drug for a long time. Such measures such as improving compliance and strengthening the supervision of indications can help reduce the ADR of glimepiride.
