DRUG

Metformin plus pioglitazone

After the screening period, eligible subjects were admitted to two tablets of fixed mixture of metformin plus pioglitazone (15mg pioglitazone plus 500mg metformin) for 12 weeks. Then the subjects were titrated onto the alternative treatment of 50mg acarbose three times daily for 12 weeks. During this timeframe, all patients were instructed to monitor their blood glucose fluctuations with a FreeStyle Libre Pro Sensor (FGM system) before and after the study and the time point of drug replacement.
