Article Synopsis
- A study involving 88 type 2 diabetes patients compared the effectiveness of combination therapy using metformin and glibenclamide versus each medication alone over 12 months.
- The results showed that 39.2% of those on the combination treatment achieved target HbA1c levels, compared to 10.0% on metformin and 17.1% on glibenclamide alone.
- The combination treatment led to significantly better glycemic control, allowing for lower doses of each medication compared to using them individually.
