Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change in HbA1c from baseline to 52 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Until changing of currently administered medication or addition of other medications at registration Change and percent change in following items from baseline to 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks 1) HbA1c (Except for 52 week) 2) Body weight 3) Waist circumference 4) Plasma glucose (Fasting or casual) 5) IRI (HOMA-IR, HOMA-beta) 6) Serum lipids: TC, TG, HDL-C, (LDL-C, non HDL-C) (LDL-C is calculated by Friedewald equation, and if TG level is more than 400 mg/dL, it is treated as a reference value 7) Blood pressure (If measured at home, either those at home or those at examination room, whichever lower is adopted) 8) Leptin, adiponectin, glucagon, GIP, GLP-1 (Glucagon measurement is done at fasting. If the case of postprandial, time from last meal is recorded) 9) Serum ketone bodies (Specific examination will be performed, if possible ) 10) Analyzed stratified by patient characteristics such as duration of diabetes and concomitant drug
