Popis: (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2012.00221.x, 2012) Aims/Introduction: To determine the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin monotherapy and combination therapy in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients after 3 months’ therapy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective, observational study of 741 type 2 diabetes patients was carried out; 110 received sitagliptin monotherapy, and 631 received combination therapy with sitagliptin when other oral medications were insufficient. The primary outcome measure was glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measured at 0, 4 and 12 weeks of sitagliptin therapy. Results: In the monotherapy and combination therapy groups, HbA1c decreased significantly after 12 weeks. Target HbA1c (
