5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Pioglitazone and insulin glargine are equally effective in achieving glycemic control in secondary drug failure of type 2 diabetes but the mechanisms of actions are different.
Detailed Description
The present study was undertaken to assess differences in how insulin glargine vs. pioglitazone affect: Beta-cell function as measured by proinsulin/insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin secretion (HOMA β-cell) and glucagon stimulated C-peptide test Insulin sensitivity as measured by adiponectin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and insulin tolerance test and Surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease as measured by BNP, NT-pro BNP and plasma lipid profile as add-on therapy in patients with T2D and secondary drug failure. The patients' satisfaction with each treatment was also surveyed.
