Abstract
Background
In type 2 diabetes with secondary OHA failure, therapy with combination of multiple oral hypoglycaemic agents or combination of oral hypoglycaemic agent with insulin is known to improve glycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the best combination to achieve target fasting plasma glucose concentration of less than 130mg/dl or glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) below 7% is not very clear.
Aims and Objectives
- To study the effect of combination oral hypoglycaemic agent with and without insulin on glycemic control, lipid profile and
- To compare the beneficial effects in the above two study group
Methods
This present study was a cross sectional, hospital based, non-randomized, and comparative study conducted at the hospital attached to Katihar Medical College. A total of 100 Type 2 DM patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, divided into two groups: those who received combination of oral hypoglycemic agent with the insulin (comb OHA+INS) and those who received combination oral hypoglycemic agent (comb OHA) alone. These groups were evaluated for baseline demographic, diabetic characteristics, glycemic control, lipid profile and BMI. These two groups were compared with respect to glycemic control, lipid profile and BMI.
