Context.-Although the long-term health benefits of good glycemic control in patients with diabetes are well documented, shorter-term quality of life (QOL) and economic savings generally have been reported to be minimal or absent.Objective.-To examine short-term outcomes of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Design.-Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel trial.Setting.-Sixty-two sites in the United States.Participants.-A total of 569 male and female volunteers with type 2 DNI.Intervention.-After a 3-week, single-blind placebo-washout period, participants were randomized to diet and titration with either 5 to 20 mg of glipizide gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) (n=377) or placebo (n=192) for 12 weeks.Main Outcome Measures.-Change from baseline in glucose and hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) levels and symptom distress, QOL, and health economic indicators by questionnaires and diaries.Results.-After 12 weeks, mean (+/-SE) HbA(1c) and fasting blood glucose levels decreased with active therapy (glipizide GITS) vs placebo (7.5%+/-0.1% vs 9.3%+/-0.1% and 7.0+/-0.1 mmol/L [126+/-2 mg/dL] vs 9.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/L [168 +/- 4 mg/dL], respectively; P
