abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of Qidan Tongmai tablet (QDTMT) on glucose and lipid metabolism in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients of DM, with or without hyperlipidemia complication (HLC) were divided into 4 groups, Group A (33 cases without HLC) and B (33 cases with HLC) were treated by QDTMT, Group C (31 cases without HLC) and D (31 cases with HLC) were not treated by QDTMT. The treatment was carried out on the previous basic hypoglycemic treatment with a therapeutic course of 2 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The levels of fasting glucose, 2 hrs postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin, as well as the levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride lowered, and the high density lipoprotein increased in Group A and B after treatment, as compared with those before treatment, the difference was significant (P < 0.01). While in Group C and D, the above-mentioned indexes were not changed significantly (P > 0.05). No apparent side-effect was found in the QDTMT treatment period.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Besides regulating abnormal blood lipid, QDTMT has also a hypoglycemic effect in certain degree in patients with DM type 2.
