Conditions

T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)

Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of the triple combination therapy of Met/SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA or other oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes exhibiting poor glycemic control.

Interventions

DRUGMetformin

The dosage of metformin hydrochloride was consistent with baseline.

DRUGTriple Therapy of Other Oral Antidiabetic Drugs

The dosage of metformin hydrochloride was consistent with baseline. The usage and dosage of other hypoglycemic drugs were referred to their respective instructions.

Ganagliflozin tablet : 50mg/d.

DRUGliraglutide

Liraglutide injection: 0.6 mg/d for the first week, 1.2 mg/d for the second week, and 1.8 mg/d after the third week.
