Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with pioglitazone (Actos Tablets) in the routine clinical setting in combination with an insulin product in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who responded inadequately when using an insulin product in addition to diet therapy and exercise therapy.

Detailed description

This is a special drug use surveillance on long-term use of newly co-administered pioglitazone tablets (Actos Tablets) as part of routine medical care in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have poorly controlled blood glucose when using an insulin product in addition to diet therapy and exercise therapy; this survey is designed to determine the safety and efficacy of long-term use of pioglitazone tablets (Actos Tablets) in the routine clinical setting in combination with an insulin product (the planned sample size, 1000.) The usual adult dosage is 15 mg of pioglitazone administered orally once daily before or after breakfast. Dose adjustment will be made according to gender, age, and symptoms with an upper limit of 30 mg.
