Abstract
Effect of participation in a clinical trial on glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients
Highlights
Sir, Improved self-management following participation in a clinical trial with better glycemic control has been recently reported in the literature.[1,2] Participation in a clinical trial encourages a greater involvement of patient in self-care
Retrospective analysis of glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients who participated in clinical trials was done by comparing the fasting glucose and HbA1C values at screening and randomization visits
Trial 1 included obese patients with features of metabolic syndrome who were inadequately controlled with insulin alone or in combination with oral hypoglycemic agents
Summary
Sir, Improved self-management following participation in a clinical trial with better glycemic control has been recently reported in the literature.[1,2] Participation in a clinical trial encourages a greater involvement of patient in self-care. Retrospective analysis of glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients who participated in clinical trials was done by comparing the fasting glucose and HbA1C values at screening and randomization visits. We selected the patients who participated in a randomized controlled clinical trial on new therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus. HbA1C, and body weight were measured at both the visits.
