Does adding dapagliflozin to atorvastatin and conventional hypoglycemic therapy improve glycemic and lipid parameters and overall clinical response rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia?
Combining dapagliflozin with atorvastatin over 12 weeks significantly improves both glycemic and lipid parameters as well as overall clinical response rates compared to atorvastatin and routine hypoglycemic therapy alone in patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia, without increasing adverse events.

Supports adding dapagliflozin to atorvastatin for higher response rates in T2DM with dyslipidemia; extends RCT evidence for dual metabolic therapy.
This study assessed the clinical outcomes of combined dapagliflozin and atorvastatin therapy among patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus accompanied by dyslipidemia. We further explored its regulatory effects on glycemic profiles, serum lipids, body weight and inflammatory markers, so as to generate evidence supporting standardized combination interventions for metabolic comorbidities. In this retrospective randomized controlled trial, 92 eligible patients hospitalized in our department from January 2025 to December 2026 were enrolled and allocated equally (46 subjects per arm) to control and observation groups using a random number table. Participants in the control group received routine hypoglycemic treatment plus atorvastatin lipid-lowering therapy, while the observation group was administered dapagliflozin on top of the control regimen. Both cohorts received 12 weeks of continuous treatment. Indicators including fasting blood glucose, 2-h postprandial glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were detected and compared at baseline and upon treatment completion. The overall clinical response rate and adverse event rates were also recorded. After the 12-week intervention, glycemic and lipid parameters were markedly ameliorated in both groups. The magnitude of improvement was substantially greater within the observation group, with statistically significant intergroup differences (P < 0.05). The observation group achieved an overall clinical response rate of 93.48%, which was significantly higher than the 78.26% observed in controls (P < 0.05). No notable between-group difference was found regarding the incidence of adverse events during the treatment period (P > 0.05). The combination of dapagliflozin and atorvastatin yields therapeutic benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant dyslipidemia. This regimen synergistically modulates glucose and lipid metabolism without elevating the risk of adverse reactions.

刘秀英 (2026) conducted an RCT in Type 2 diabetes mellitus with dyslipidemia (n=92). Dapagliflozin combined with atorvastatin and conventional hypoglycemic therapy vs. Conventional hypoglycemic therapy (e.g., metformin) plus atorvastatin calcium 20 mg nightly was evaluated on Overall clinical effective rate (p=<0.05). Dapagliflozin combined with atorvastatin significantly increased the overall clinical response rate to 93.48% compared to 78.26% with atorvastatin plus routine hypoglycemic care (P < 0.05).
