More than 1 in 10 patients on DTG-based ART in our study had hyperglycemia. We recommend regular monitoring of plasma glucose, especially for patients >40 years old and those with other comorbidities, before starting/switching to DTG regimens. Longitudinal studies are recommended to determine the underlying mechanisms of hyperglycemia in this population.
