{Abstract}: Imeglimin has not been well studied as an oral agent for the treatment of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA). We treated 2 cases of LADA with imeglimin. The case 1 patient was originally diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at age 50 years and was treated with sulfonylurea, biguanide, canagliflozin, imeglimin, and dulaglutide. Before imeglimin, his glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) change was 94.0 mmol/mol (8.6%) in November 2022, but it dropped to 71.0 mmol/mol (6.5%) in May 2023 after imeglimin was added. The case 2 patient was originally diagnosed with T2D when she was aged 48 years. She was treated with vildagliptin, biguanide, luseogliflozin, and imeglimin. Her HbA1c before imeglimin was 92.9 mmol/mol (8.5%) in January 2023, which decreased to 75.4 mmol/mol (6.9%) in July 2023 after imeglimin was added. Although imeglimin has not been approved for treating type 1 diabetes and LADA, adding imeglimin to the current medication was effective in improving and controlling the patients' plasma glucose.
