Switch From Metformin Monotherapy to a Bitherapy With Metformin and Repaglinide
- Registration Number
- NCT00745433
- Lead Sponsor
- Novo Nordisk A/S
- Brief Summary
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the efficacy (e.g. glycemic control) and safety (e.g. hypoglycemic episodes) when adding repaglinide to a monotherapy of metformin in type 2 diabetic patients under normal clinical practice
