Brief Summary

The study evaluates the rate beta-cell function decline in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients on two different treatment regimens: insulin and metformin versus glyburide, metformin and pioglitazone.

Detailed Description

This is a 72 months long randomized clinical trial longitudinally evaluating beta-cell function, as well as glycemic control and inflammatory markers in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients on two different treatment regimens: insulin and metformin versus glyburide, metformin and pioglitazone.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Beta-cell Function - C-peptide AUC (Area Under the Curve)72 months

C-peptide AUC during a 3-hours mixed meal challenge testing

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Insulin Sensitivity as Measure be Matsuda Index72 months

C-peptide-based Matsuda index using following formula: Matsuda index = 500,00 / root square \[(fasting c-peptide x fasting glucose x 333) x (average c-peptide 0-120 mins x average glucose 0-120 mins x 333). Higher the Matsuda index, better the insulin sensitivity.

Bet-cell Function Measured by Disposition Index72 months

Disposition index was measured by multiplying the insulin secretion (C-peptide AUC/C-peptide AUC glucose) by the Matsuda index. Disposition index reflects the beta-cell function adjusted for total body insulin sensitivity

Inflammatory Markers - PAI-172 months

Inflammatory markers - PAI-1 (Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1)

Inflammatory Markers - hsCRP72 months

Inflammatory markers - hsCRP (C reactive protein)

Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Hypoglycemia Fear72 months

Hypoglycemia fear was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1-5, where 1 - never worry; 2 - rarely water; 3 - sometimes worry; 4 - often worry; 5 - very often worry

Weight72 months

Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Willingness to Continue Insulin Treatment72 months

Willingness to continue insulin treatment was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a scale score of 1 to 7, where 1 extremely willing to 7 - not at all willing.

Inflammatory Markers -Fibrinogen72 months

Inflammatory markers - Fibrinogen

Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Treatment Satisfaction72 months

Treatment satisfaction was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1-5, where 1 - very satisfied; 2 - moderately satisfied; 3 - neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 4 - moderately dissatisfied; 5 - very dissatisfied.

Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Treatment Impact72 months

Treatment impact was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a Likert scale score of 1-5, where 1 - very satisfied; 2 - moderately satisfied; 3 - neither satisfied nor dissatisfied; 4 - moderately dissatisfied; 5 - very dissatisfied.

Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Glycemia Control Perception72 months

Glycemia control perception was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire. This questionnaire addresses several areas with respect to diabetes QoL. Answers are in the form of a scale score of 1-7, where 1 - extremely controlled and 7 - not at all controlled.

Quality of Life Survey (QoL) - Social Stigma72 months

Social stigma was measured at randomization and 72 months later using the modified Diabetes Quality of Life Clinical Trial Questionnaire.
