Brief Summary  

Brief Summary

 

This study is a open label study to assess the efficacy of Metformin in patients who are diagnosed to have type 2 diabetes mellitus in non obese Indians who have ideal body weight ie, 18 to 23 kg/ m2 .

Exclusion criteria

Individuals who have renal impairment, s creatinine >1.4 mg/dl in women and 1.5 mg/dl in males, who have liver disease, both chronic and acute, and who have active infection.

All individuals more than 65 years also will be excluded.

Individuals who are already intolerant to metformin and who requires emergency control of hyperglycemia due to their co morbid condition will also be not included in the study.

 

The enrolled individuals will be put on medical nutrition therapy and advised to maintain regular exercise. The compliance will be checked using food frequency questionnaire.

The individuals who fulfill the criteria will have their baseline investigations done, which include-

1) HbA1c

2) Plasma glucose, insulin and C peptides in the fasting state, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes of 75 gm glucose intake

3) fasting serum lipid profile, serum creatinine, SGPT and C reactive protein

4) urine microalbumin and a baseline fundus examination to rule out any complications related to diabetes.

 

Dose of metformin in this study

After 3 months of lifestyle modification, if the HbA1c is > 7% or Fasting plasma sugars >140 or 2 hr plasma glucose >200 mg/dl , they will be started on Metformin 500 mg twice daily per orally.

Primary outcome

The changes metformin bring in HbA1c, fasting and post prandial plasma sugars at the completion of 6 months of Metformin therapy will be the primary outcome studied.

 

Secondary outcome

The secondary outcome to be studied includes changes in serum fasting lipid profile and CRP.

Adverse effects including the weight loss, gastrointestinal problems and anorexia will be recorded.
