The HOME Trial: Hyperinsulinaemia: the Outcome of Its Metabolic Effects, a Randomized Controlled Trial

September 12, 2006 updated by: Bethesda General Hospital, Hoogeveen

Study of Metformin HCL in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Intensively Treated With Insulin: a Treatment Strategy for Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The HOME-trial is a prospective, randomized controlled trial. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of metformin HCL in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus intensively treated with insulin on the quality of the metabolic control of diabetes, the daily dose of insulin, the lipid profile, the blood pressure, the incidence / progression of microvascular and macrovascular complications, and on the qualify of life (Diabetes Health Profile). Early results had been published in Diabetes Care, December 2002, pages 2133-2140.
