Relationship Between Body Weight and Glycohemoglobin

Completed

• Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Registration Number: NCT00892372
• Lead Sponsor: Saitama Medical University

Brief Summary

Control of body weight (BW) is important to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. Regardless of the close association, little is understood about the precise relationship between BW and glycemic control, which might be of benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes. The researchers investigated the correlation between changes in BW and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with a diet therapy or pioglitazone.
