Abstract
The patient is a 55-year-old male with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In his 20s, 30s, and 50s, his body weight was 80 kg, 95 kg, and 90 kg, respectively. HbA1c was 10.9% in March 2023, and he was prescribed imeglimin (Twymeeg) as an oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA). HbA1c decreased to 9.3%, 7.2%, and 6.8% within just 3 months. His body weight also decreased from 86 kg to 82 kg during this period. Liver function tests showed improvement between March and May 2023, with AST decreasing from 54 to 24 U/L, ALT from 121 to 28 U/L, and GGT from 45 to 18 U/L, respectively. This suggests an improvement in fatty liver.
