  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims</jats:title><jats:p>Sacubitril/valsartan is a neprilysin‐inhibitor/angiotensin II receptor blocker used for the treatment of heart failure. Recently, a post‐hoc analysis of a 3‐year randomized controlled trial showed improved glycaemic control with sacubitril/valsartan in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes. We previously reported that sacubitril/valsartan combined with a dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor increases active glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) in healthy individuals. We now hypothesized that administration of sacubitril/valsartan with or without a dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor would lower postprandial glucose concentrations (primary outcome) in patients with type 2 diabetes via increased active GLP‐1.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>We performed a crossover trial in 12 patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes. A mixed meal was ingested following five respective interventions: (a) a single dose of sacubitril/valsartan; (b) sitagliptin; (c) sacubitril/valsartan + sitagliptin; (d) control (no treatment); and (e) valsartan alone. Glucose, gut and pancreatic hormone responses were measured.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Postprandial plasma glucose increased by 57% (incremental area under the curve 0‐240 min) (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .0003) and increased peak plasma glucose by 1.7 mM (95% CI: 0.6‐2.9) (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = .003) after sacubitril/valsartan compared with control, whereas postprandial glucose levels did not change significantly after sacubitril/valsartan + sitagliptin. Glucagon, GLP‐1 and C‐peptide concentrations increased after sacubitril/valsartan, but insulin and glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide did not change.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>The glucose‐lowering effects of long‐term sacubitril/valsartan treatment reported in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes may not depend on changes in entero‐pancreatic hormones. Neprilysin inhibition results in hyperglucagonaemia and this may explain the worsen glucose tolerance observed in this study.</jats:p><jats:p>ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03893526).</jats:p></jats:sec>
