A Study to Assess the Effects of DPP-4 Inhibition on Insulin Sensitivity in Type 2 Diabetes

May 4, 2012 updated by: Novartis
Type 2 diabetes results when the body does not produce enough insulin and/or is unable to properly use the insulin it makes (insulin resistance). This study was undertaken to assess the effects of vildagliptin on insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes.
