Our expert recommendations address the specific pathophysiology of pasireotide-induced hyperglycemia by recommending the incretin-based therapeutics dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) in all appropriate patients as an alternative to first-line monotherapy with metformin. This evidence concerns the gene DPP4 and Hyperglycemia.
