About this study

Official title: Efficacy/Safety Study of Adding Glimepiride to Type 2 Diabetes Patients With Inadequate Glycemic Control Based on Combination With Metformin And Basal Insulin

All the guidelines suggest that metformin as the basis of type 2 diabetes medication, and evidence is sufficient.At the same time the basal insulin injection once a day are more and more widely used in diabetes patients in China.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding glimepiride to type 2 diabetes patients with inadequate glycemic control with combined therapy of metformin and basal insulin.

Being tested
glimepiride, glargine and metformin
Keywords
glimepiride, metformin, basal insulin, Hemoglobin A, Glycosylated, glucose fluctuation, hypoglycemia
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Hypoglycemia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • glimepirideDrug

    on the basis of metformin and glargine, glimepiride is added; with the maximun dose of glimepiride, if the targeted FPG is not reached, glargine dose will be increased.

  • glargine and metforminDrug

    Also called lantus

Study groups in NCT02026310
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
glimepirideExperimentalon the basis of metformin and glargine, the initial dose of glimepiride is 2 mg,qd (before breakfast), and adjust the dosage for fasting plasma glucose, dosage-adding indicator is the FPG≥7.2, maximum dose of glimepiride is 4 mg/d per day.
Receives: Drug: glimepiride; Drug: glargine and metformin
Metformin and glargineActive comparatoron the basis of Metformin and glargine,no glempiride addition. dose of glargine was adjust according to the FPG, with the target less than 7.2mmol/l
Receives: Drug: glargine and metformin
