Patients with active RA despite standard DMARDs therapy and concomitant 2TDM were selected into one of five exposure groups to first-line bDMARDs (adalimumab, golimumab, etanercept, tocilizumab, sarilumab) and observed for the outcome of CRP, ESR, DAS28CRP and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) variations.Results: After the start of treatment, there was a significant reduction in the values of acute phase reactants ESR and CRP (p< 0.01), DAS28-CRP (p< 0.01) and HbA1C (p< 0.05), in the absence of any confounding factors such as a reduction in BMI or a change in steroid doses. There was no statistically significant difference between the various treatments. Anti-IL6 drugs appear to be associated with a slightly greater reduction in HbA1c values, bordering on statistical significance (p=0.047).Conclusion: Initiation of a bDMARD appears to be associated with an improvement in concomitant 2TDM in patients with active RA, which, in the first hypothesis, is linked with a reduction of the inflammatory milieu.Keywords: diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, bDMARDsLurati ALaria AMazzocchi DRe KAMarrazza MGFaggioli PMMazzone ADove Medical Pressarticlediabetes mellitusrheumatoid arthritisbdmardsDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENOpen Access Rheumatology: Research and Reviews, Vol Volume 13, Pp 73-78 (2021)
