Brief summary

A randomized, open label, dose titration study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pitavastatin compared to atorvastatin in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with hypercholesterolemia

Detailed description

To evaluate the effect of pitavastatin compared to atorvastatin on the change of Lipid profiles, ApoA1, ApoB, adiponectin and baPWV as a marker of atherosclerosis in Type 2DM .

Interventions

DRUGPitavastatin

Drug: Pitavastatin 2mg daily for 8wks after initial visit. After assessment of LDL-C \<100mg/dL at 8wks → Dose adjustment Yes → 2mg daily for second 8wks No → 4mg daily for second 8wks

DRUGAtorvastatin

Drug: Atorvastatin 10mg daily for 8wks after initial visit. After assessment of LDL-C \<100mg/dL at 8wks → Dose adjustment Yes → 10mg daily for second 8wks No → 20mg daily for second 8wks
