Brief Summary  
India is considered to be the “Diabetes Capital of the World” having 66 million subjects with diabetes and every fifth diabetic being an Indian. The morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes is attributed to microvascular and macrovascular complications. A plethora of therapeutic options are available including non pharmacological measures such as medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and exercise as well as pharmacological options such as sulfonylureas, metformin, thiazolidinediones, insulin, etc. It has been reported that insulin sensitisers are associated with reduction of cardiovascular diseases morbidity and mortality. PPAR-alpha agonists are approved for lipid control and PPAR-gamma agonist for achieving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. Saroglitazar with dual PPAR alpha/gamma agonist activity, and excellent safety profile is being used for  patients having diabetic dyslipidemia, as the drug has shown efficacy in improving both, the lipid due to PPAR-alpha agonistic property and the glycemic parameters , attributable to PPAR-gamma agonistic property. However, the drug is not yet approved for glycemic control in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. 
Our aim is to assess the effect of saroglitazar on insulin sensitivity in patients of T2DM with hypertriglyceridemia. Our primary objective is to assess the change in insulin sensitivity by hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in patients with T2DM and hypertriglyceridemia with saroglitazar as compare to placebo. our primary hypothesis is that saroglitazar will cause an improvement in insulin sensitivity owing to its  PPAR-gamma agonistic property.
