Study In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Who Are Taking Metformin And Sulfonylurea, Metformin And Insulin, Or Insulin

October 15, 2008 updated by: GlaxoSmithKline

An Exploratory MRI Study in Type 2 Diabetic Subjects: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Measurement of Fluid Volumes by MRI in the Lower Extremities of Subjects Receiving Pioglitazone

This study will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to evaluate changes in fluid volume in the lower legs of diabetic patients who add either pioglitazone or placebo to their current diabetic regimen.
