We read with interest the paper by Pavone and colleagues [1] describing the rapid reduction of fasting glucose (FG) levels in diabetic hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive patients receiving directacting antiviral agents (DAAs). We aimed to assess if a similar decreasing trend of FG levels occurred in our study population and if it was maintained after the end of treatment (EOT). Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated 449 patients treated with DAAs at our centre (64 HIV/HCV coinfected),

Abstract
We read with interest the paper by Pavone and colleagues [1] describing the rapid reduction of fasting glucose (FG) levels in diabetic hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive patients receiving directacting antiviral agents (DAAs). We aimed to assess if a similar decreasing trend of FG levels occurred in our study population and if it was maintained after the end of treatment (EOT). Therefore, we retrospectively evaluated 449 patients treated with DAAs at our centre (64 HIV/HCV coinfected),File in questo prodotto:
