Popis: Aims To evaluate the influence of addition of rosiglitazone to insulin therapy over a 24-week period in massively obese patients with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes taking large doses of insulin. Methods Eight massively obese patients (median body mass index (BMI) 42 kg/m2) with Type 2 diabetes who were on large doses of insulin (median daily dose of 204 U) and/or had poor glycaemic control (median HbA1c of 8.1% (upper limit for normal 5.5%)) were treated over a 24-week period with the combination of insulin and maximum doses of rosiglitazone. Outcomes monitored were changes in weight, BMI, HbA1c, dose of insulin and development of side-effects. Results At the end of 24 weeks there was a median weight gain of 3 kg (P
