Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Empagliflozin Addition to Insulin and Oral Antidiabetic Medication (OAD) Regimen in Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes and Obese Patient
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of incorporating Empagliflozin, an oral sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, into the existing therapeutic regimen of Insulin+Metformin+Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The study seeks to evaluate its effect on achieving glycemic goals in this patient population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants achieved HbA1c level i.e. <7% [12 weeks]
The foremost objective is to determine whether the addition of Empagliflozin to the current treatment regimen leads to a significant improvement in glycemic control i.e. glycated haemoglobin less than 7% among poorly controlled T2DM patients in three months of treatment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Weight in Kg [12 weeks]
Number of participants reduces weight in Kg during the therapy or mean reduction in weight overtime
- BMI in kg/m2 [12 weeks]
Number of participants reduces BMI kg/m2 or mean reduction in BMI overtime
- systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure [12 weeks]
systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure measure in mmHg during the therapy
