Abstract

Objective: To analyze the application effects of metformin and pioglitazone in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: A total of 82 patients with T2DM and CHD from November 2022 to November 2023 were selected for the study. Using a random number table, they were evenly divided into a control group (41 cases treated with pioglitazone) and an observation group (41 cases treated with a combination of metformin and pioglitazone). The clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. Results: The incidence of adverse reactions in both groups was basically the same (P>0.05); the observation group showed significantly lower rates of complications, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and Gensini score than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with monotherapy, the combined use of pioglitazone and metformin can enhance the clinical efficacy in treating T2DM complicated with CHD, regulate lipid indicators, and has potential for promotion.
