Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
This is the difference in HbA1c change after 24 weeks compared to baseline between the test group treated with the test drug (SGLT2 inhibitor, DPP4 inhibitor, TZD) and the control group increased by 500 mg of metformin.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
HbA1c change after 24 weeks compared to baseline of test drug (SGLT2 inhibitor, DPP4 inhibitor, TZD);Percentage of patients reaching HbA1c 6.5% and 7.0% after 24 weeks of trial drug (SGLT2 inhibitor, DPP4 inhibitor, TZD);Blood sugar, glucose metabolism-related indicators, and nephrotic indicators after 24 weeks compared to baseline in the test drug (SGLT2 inhibitor, DPP4 inhibitor, TZD): fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR (calculated), HOMA-beta (calculated), albumin/creatinine ratio;Safety related indicators: BUN, creatine, AST, ALT, hypoglycemia and number of abnormal cases
