Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Control of body weight (BW) is important to prevent and manage type 2 diabetes. Regardless of the close association, little is understood about the precise relationship between BW and glycemic control, which might be of benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes. The researchers investigated the correlation between changes in BW and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with a diet therapy or pioglitazone.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1 (type 2 diabetes, body weight, HbA1c)

The investigators analyzed the recorded data (body weight and glycohemoglobin) of 70 type 2 diabetic patients treated with the diet therapy. Recorded values at 0, 2 and 4 months for body weight (BW) and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) were used. And changes from baseline (0 month) in BW (ΔBW) were plotted against those of HbA1c (ΔHbA1c).

No interventions assigned to this group

2 (type 2 diabetes, pioglitazone, HbA1c)

The investigators analyzed the recorded data (body weight and glycohemoglobin) of 23 type 2 diabetic patients treated with pioglitazone. Recorded values at 0, 2 and 4 months for body weight (BW)and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) were used. And changes from baseline (0 month) in BW (ΔBW) were plotted against those of HbA1c (ΔHbA1c).
