Abstract

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of triple therapy using insulin, metformin, and a thiazolidinedione following a course of dual therapy using insulin and metformin or insulin and a thiazolidinedione in type 2 diabetes. Twenty-eight type 2 diabetic subjects using insulin monotherapy (baseline HbA(lc) level 8.5%) who had been randomly assigned to insulin (INS) and metformin (MET) (INS + MET, n = 14) or INS and the thiazolidinedione troglitazone (TGZ) (INS + TGZ, n = 14) (dual therapy) for 4 months were given INS, MET, and TGZ (triple therapy: INS + MET, add TGZ; or INS + TGZ, add MET) for another 4 months. The INS dose was not increased. HbA(1c) levels decreased in both groups during dual therapy and improved further during triple therapy (INS + MET 7.0 +/- 0.8, INS + TGZ 6.2 +/- 0.8, P < 0.0001; INS + MET, add TGZ 6.1 +/- 0.4%, P < 0.001; INS + TGZ, add MET 5.8 +/- 0.6%, P < 0.05; and INS + TGZ vs. INS + MET, P = 0.02). Significant reductions in total daily insulin dose occurred in the INS + TGZ (-14.1 units, P < 0.0001), INS + TGZ add MET (-13.7 units, P < 0.01), and the INS + MET add TGZ groups (-17.3 units, P < 0.003), but not in the INS + MET group (-3.2 units) (INS + TGZ vs. INS + MET P < 0.05). Subjects in the INS ...Continue Reading
