Abstract： Objective To explore the application value of repaglinide combined with metformin in type 2 diabetes therapy.Methóds 92 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into study group and control group.Two groups of patients were given repaglinide treatment,patients in study group given metformin treatment.The blood lipid,glucose metabolism,body weight change and clinical outcomes were compared belween the groups.Results Compared with the control group,study group the cure rate and total effective rate was significantly increased,as high as 58.7％ and 97.8％,the ineffective rate was significantly decreased,only 2.2％,there were significant differences ( x2 =2.64,3.59,3.59,P ＜ 0.05 ).The fasting and 2h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin and other indicators of glucose metabolism in the study group were significantly decreased,there were also significant differences(P ＜ 0.05 ).The triglycerides and cholesterol and other lipid levels and body mass index in the study group were significantly decreased,there were significant differences ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion Repaglinide combined with metformin in type 2 diabetes treatment was remarkable for type 2 diabetes to further improve the clinical efficacy.
