[Effect of qidan tongmai tablet on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To study the effect of Qidan Tongmai tablet (QDTMT) on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2.

METHODS:

Patients of DM, with or without hyperlipidemia complication (HLC) were divided into 4 groups, Group A (33 cases without HLC) and B (33 cases with HLC) were treated by QDTMT, Group C (31 cases without HLC) and D (31 cases with HLC) were not treated by QDTMT. The treatment was carried out on the previous basic hypoglycemic treatment with a therapeutic course of 2 months.

RESULTS:

The levels of fasting glucose, 2 hrs postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, as well as the levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride lowered, and the high density lipoprotein increased in Group A and B after treatment, as compared with those before treatment, the difference was significant (P < 0.01). While in Group C and D, the above-mentioned indexes were not changed significantly (P > 0.05). No apparent side-effect was found in the QDTMT treatment period.

CONCLUSION:

Besides regulating abnormal blood lipid, QDTMT has also a hypoglycemic effect in certain degree in patients with DM type 2.
