Diabetes Mellitus

Study to assess the dietary carbohydrate content of Indian diabetics with special therapeutic view on effectiveness of acarbose and metformin monotherapy

Trial purpose

The study is designed as non interventional to collect data on the effectiveness of acarbose and metformin monotherapy, respectively, in terms of change from baseline in post prandial blood glucose level at the end of 16 weeks in drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients within each carbohydrates consumption subgroup under real-life treatment condition in large sample of type-2 diabetes patients in India. The study will begin after the study approval by ethics committee.All drug naïve patients in whom decision to administer acarbose or metformin monotherapy for type 2 diabetes management has been made will be included in study after taking the informed consent.Patients will be observed for up to 16 weeks (2 weeks).The study involves general examination of patients, collection of data like history of disease, concomitant medication, drug dose , 24 hr dietary recall etc. The study is planned to enroll 12250 subjects from multiple study centers spread across India. The study data will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.
