purpose
Dolutegravir (DTG) and Raltegravir have been associated in vitro and in vivo with increased Insulin Resistance. Our aim was to explore the impact of DTG and Bictegravir (BIC) on glucose levels in a real-life cohort.
 
method
Consecutive people living with HIV infection (PLWH) enrolled in the SCOLTA project switching to or initiating their first antiretroviral treatment (ART) with BIC or DTG were included. T0 and T1 were defined as baseline and 12-month follow-up respectively.
 
results
2272 PLWH were selected for this analysis: 880 (666 ART experienced [EXP]) initiated BIC and 1392 (1039 EXP) DTG. PLWH characteristics are shown in table 1.

Excluding 111 PLWH with diabetes at baseline, no differences were found in glucose levels at T1 vs T0, both in EXP PLWH (BIC -0.5 mg/dL, 95% CI -2.7, 1.7 and DTG 1.0 mg/dL, 95% CI -0.5, 2. 5; p=0.26) and in Naïve PLWH (BIC 0.6 mg/dL, 95% CI -3.8, 5.0 and DTG -0.9 mg/dL, 95% CI -3.0, 1.3; p=0.52). Considering PLWH with a baseline glucose >100 mg/dl, a slight decrease in mean glucose change was observed both in EXP (BIC -8.0 mg/dL CI 95% -14.0, -2.8 and DTG -5.4 mg/dL CI 95% -8.2, -2.5; p=0.33) and naïve PLWH (BIC -12.9 mg/dL, 95% CI -18.7, -7.1; DTG -22.1 mg/dL 95% CI -30.3, -13.9; p=0.06). We did not find any correlation between glucose and BMI variation. No differences were found in new onset diabetes between BIC and DTG group (12 [1.4%] vs 16 [1.2%], p=0.63) at T1 vs T0.
 
conclusions
DTG and BIC showed a good impact on glucose levels at 12 months since initiation. No difference was observed in development of new onset diabetes.
