Brief Summary  
  • Protocol Title: This is a randomized, single centre, open lable study to assess the effectiveness and safety of FDC glimepiride 2mg+metformin500 mg+pioglitazone 15 mg VS Insulin 70/30 + Metformin 500 mg. 
  • This is IIS ( Investigator initiated study).
  • Methodology:
  • Screening: Patients would be evaluated for eligibility and baseline laboratory investigations shall be performed Randomization: The eligible patients shall be randomized into 2 arms (Arm A & B) Arm A: Patients shall receive FDC of either: 1> Glimipiride 1 mg + Metformin 500 SR + Pioglitazone 15 mg OD (Triobimet 1)OR 2> Glimipiride 2 mg + Metformin 500 SR + Pioglitazone 15 mg OD (Triobimet 2) (As per investigators decision)
  • Arm B: Patients shall receive Insulin 70/30 + Metformin SR Therapy to be initiated with insulin 70/30 mix b.i.d. (starting dose, 0.75 units/kg). Two-thirds of the dose to be given before breakfast and the remainder before dinner. Dose adjustments of 10% of the current dose can be done at discretion of investigator, until the glycemic (FPG and postprandial glucose) targets are achieved. The patient shall continue to receive Metformin SR once a day in morning in addition to Insulin 70/30 mix In both the arms the dose of oral anti-diabetic agents shall be titrated as per the target HbA1c
  • Duration of Treatment: The treatment period will be of 12 wks. The study period will be approximately 90 days (Screening 7 days + Treatment period 12 weeks)

  • Duration of follow-up: Each patient shall be followed up for 3 months
