Aim: To assess the adjunct effect of metformin to insulin in type 2 diabetes.Methods: Obese and overweight type 2 diabetes patients treated with insulin for at least 1 year. and with poor glycaemic control (HbA(1c) > upper reference level + 2%), were included in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Patients were treated for 12 months with either metformin (850 mg b.i.d.) or placebo added to their usual insulin, which was stabilized during a 3-month placebo run-in period, but thereafter attempted to be unchanged.Results: Thirty-seven patients were included. Two patients dropped out during ron-in. There were no differences between the metformin (n=16) and placebo (n=19) group at baseline. Most patients received multiple insulin injections. Metabolic control was improved by addition or metformin. Mean change in HbA(1c) from baseline showed highly significant difference between groups at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Mean change (percentage units +/- s.d.) at 12 months was -1.1 +/-0.7% vs. + 0.3 +/-0.8% (p
