Background: Many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with inadequate long-term blood glucose control with sulfonylurea or metformin monotherapy require additional treatment. The synergistic effects of combining glipizide with metformin on glucose control may be realized by treating the primary effects of type 2 DM, impaired insulin secretion, and insulin resistance.Objective: This study assessed therapy with glipizide/metformin combination tablets in patients with type 2 DM that is uncontrolled by at least half the maximum labeled daily dose of a sulfonylurea.Methods: In this multicenter, double-masked, parallel-group, active-controlled study, patients were randomized to receive glipizide 30-mg, metformin 500-mg, or glipizide/metformin 5/500 mg tablets for 18 weeks (metformin and glipizide/metformin doses were titrated to achieve blood glucose control). Maximum total daily doses were glipizide 30 mg, metformin 2000 mg, and glipizide/metformin 20/2000 mg.Results: A total of 247 patients were included in the study The mean (SD) age was 56.2 (10.1) years; 61.5% of patients were male; 70.0% were white, 15.8% were Hispanic/Latino, 13.0% were black, and 1.2% were Asian/Pacific Islanders.Patients were, on average, obese (mean [SD] body mass index, 31.3 [4.7] kg/m(2)), had moderate to severe hyperglycemia (mean [SD] glycated hemoglobin [HbA(1c)], 8.7% [1.1]), and had a mean (SD) DM duration of 6.5 (4.9) years. Glipizide/metformin tablets controlled the HbA(1c) level more effectively than did either glipizide or metformin monotherapies (mean treatment differences, in favor of glipizide/metformin, of -1.06% and -0.98%, respectively, P < 0.001). At study end, an HbA(1c) level
