Study summary

To investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Acarbose+Saxagliptin Compared With Metformin+Saxagliptin in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes,100 patients with T2DM will be enrolled in this study.They will randomly be assigned to Acarbose+Saxagliptin or Metformin+Saxagliptin group.HbA1c,fasting and postprandial C-peptide will be observed before and after the interventions.

Read the detailed description

Participants coming on study will be assigned to two groups:Acarbose+Saxagliptin and Metformin+Saxagliptin. It may take 1 weeks to be stabilize to a standardized dose, and then the investigators will follow-up the patients for 3 months.During the period,patients will be asked to come back to the investigators center to receive the related examination every month. The investigators will detect HbA1c,fasting and postprandial C-peptide before and after the interventions.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. redunction of Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) Levels (%) in two groups respectively after three months intervention

    HbA1c was measured by high performance liquid chromatography with an automated biochemistry analyzer (Roche, Switzerland).

    Time frame: baseline(0 week), week twelve

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients who achieve target of HbA1c<6.5% in two groups respectively at the end of study

    Time frame: baseline(0 week), week twelve

  2. Difference of Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and Homeostasis model assessment beta cell function index (HOMA-β) between two groups after three months intervention

    HOMA-β= Fasting C-Peptide × 0.27/(Fasting Plasma Glucose-3.5 HOMA-IR = 1.5 + Fasting Plasma Glucose × Fasting CPeptide/ 2800.

    Time frame: baseline(0 week), week twelve
