After 12 weeks of the new therapeutic regimen we recorded a significant reduction in the parameter levels that we monitored in the study.
The study included 30 patients who had been treated with long-acting insulin analogue and metformin in doses of 3 x 850 mg at least 6 months prior to study entry and in which a good glycaemic control had not been achieved, or with HbA1c > 7%.
At the beginning of the study the patients were switched to combined therapy with long-acting basal analog, metformin and liraglutide in a dosage of 0.6 mg of 1x1.
In this study, Liraglutide was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Liraglutide.
