Abstract

This post hoc analysis reports that overall proportion of patients achieving a composite endpoint of HbA1c<7.0% (<53.0 mmol/mol) without hypoglycaemia and weight gain was higher with vildagliptin than glimepiride after 2 years in type 2 diabetes patients inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy, regardless of age and duration of diabetes.
