The effect of HCV eradication following the use of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) on the glyco-metabolic control is unknown. Through a meta-analysis of available clinical studies, we investigated whether eradication of HCV infection with interferon-free DAAs is associated with improved glyco-metabolic control in diabetic patients. ⋯ We found a significant improvement in glyco-metabolic control after HCV eradication (in terms of glycated haemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose levels reduction) following direct-acting antiviral treatment in patients with established diabetes, including a consequent positive impact on anti-diabetic therapies.
