Effectiveness and safety of Daixie Decoction granules combined with metformin for the treatment of T2DM patients with obesity: study protocol for a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicentre clinical trial.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with obesity is a glycolipid metabolism disorder, which makes hypoglycaemic treatment more complex and increases the proportion of multidrug combinations. In addition, patients are more prone to adverse reactions and gradually lose compliance with treatment. Previous clinical trials have demonstrated that Daixie Decoction granules (DDG) can reduce body weight and blood lipids and improve the quality of life of T2DM with obesity.
