This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding pioglitazone to treatment with metformin (MF) and gliclazide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) who had inadequate glycemic control.
This study is a retrospective cohort study based on King Abdullah University Hospital records concerning type 2 diabetic adult patients for year 2008. Patients included were assessed according to changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, albuminuria and liver enzymes before and after the addition of pioglitazone.
The patients included in the study had an initial mean HbA1c of 9.44%, which decreased to 7.56% after the addition of pioglitazone (P-value < 0.005).
