Summary

Rationale: RAS 130 is an anti-diabetic agent used to lower the blood glucose level in Type II Diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) patients with proper diet and exercise. RAS 130 works by restoring proper response to insulin in the body. RAS 130 acts primarily by increasing insulin sensitivity which improves glycemic index. It is presumed that RAS 130 does not cause cardiovascular side effects if it is given to Type II diabetes mellitus patients leading a healthy life style. Specifically, controlling diet is done according to American Diabetic Association \& American Heart Association guidelines and also through doing aerobic exercises. Guideline for aerobic exercise is given in the design of the study.

Exercise is helpful in controlling body weight which can lower the risk for heart disease. Diabetes itself is one of the compounding factors for heart diseases. Exercise helps lowering the LDL cholesterol and raising the HDL cholesterol which is required to prevent heart diseases and achieve a better quality of life.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to prospectively assess and evaluate the cardiovascular side effects and reduction of blood glucose levels in the Type II Diabetes mellitus patients treated with RAS 130, who either met, or failed to meet criteria for diet and exercise.

Conditions

  • Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Interventions

OTHER

RAS 130 with diet and exercise

Entire population, which will also include existing patients, will be treated with RAS 130 along with diet and exercise. By the end of 6 months: 3 months of study and 3 months of follow-up, the entire population will be divided into two groups which will be determined through endpoints. The first group will be subjects with diet and exercise and the second group will be subjects without diet and exercise. The endpoints for the division of the groups are given in the design of the study.
