This study aims to investigate whether a class of diabetes medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), specifically semaglutide or polyethylene glycol loxenatide, can improve heart-related nerve damage in people with type 2 diabetes. This heart-related nerve damage is known as diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN), which can cause problems such as fast resting heart rate, low blood pressure upon standing, and in severe cases, heart attack or sudden death.
In this study, 60 adults with type 2 diabetes (ages 18-80) will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive standard diabetes care only, while the other group will receive standard care plus a once-weekly injection of either semaglutide or polyethylene glycol loxenatide for 6 months. Participants will undergo tests before and after the treatment period, including blood tests and non-invasive heart function tests (24-hour heart rate variability monitoring and cardiac autonomic reflex tests).
The main goal is to see whether GLP-1RA treatment improves heart rate variability, a key sign of heart nerve function. The study also looks at changes in body weight, blood sugar control, and insulin resistance. This research may help determine whether GLP-1RA medications can protect against or improve diabetic heart nerve damage, beyond their known benefits for blood sugar control.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Group | No Intervention | Participants receive standard diabetes care (routine glucose-lowering treatment) without GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) intervention. | |
| GLP-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1RA) Group | Experimental | Participants receive standard diabetes care plus a once-weekly subcutaneous injection of a GLP-1 receptor agonist (either semaglutide or polyethylene glycol loxenatide) for 6 months. Semaglutide is administered at 0.5 mg once weekly; polyethylene glycol loxenatide is administered at 0.2 mg once weekly. Both are used within approved labeling for type 2 diabetes. |

| GLP-1 Receptor Agonists | Drug | GLP-1 receptor agonists are administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection for 6 months. Two specific GLP-1RAs are used in this study: semaglutide at 0.5 mg once weekly, or polyethylene glycol loxenatide at 0.2 mg once weekly. Both are approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and are used within their approved dosing guidelines. |

The heart rate in lying position was measured, and the R-R interval in more than 30 beats was measured after standing, and the ratio between the longest R-R interval in the 25-35 beats and the shortest R-R interval in the 10-15 beats after standing was calculated

| Valsalva action | After deep inhalation, hold your breath as much as possible, and then blow air into the modified sphygmomanometer to keep the pressure of the sphygmomanometer at 40mmHg, continue for 10-15s, and then relax for 1 minute, a total of 3 minutes. At the same time, ECG was recorded to record the ratio of maximum heart rate to minimum heart rate | basline and 12 weeks later |
