Telmisartan effect on peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ agonist and has the same structure of the group thiazolidindion, pioglitazone. The research objective was to determine the effects of telmisartan and metformin on insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome patients with insulin therapy.Methods: This study used a before-after design.
