| Core Tip |
Obesity, especially abdominal obesity is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetes. The metformin and acarbose in Chinese as the initial hypoglycaemic treatment trial demonstrated that acarbose and metformin not only reduced glycosylated hemoglobin but also reduced weight and waist circumference after 24 wk of treatment with acarbose or metformin. Waist-to-height ratio waist-to-height ratio is a new anthropometric measure as an indicator of abdominal obesity and a better alternative to waist circumference. In this analysis, we demonstrated different association of glucagon-like peptide 1 and some other parameters with reduction of waist-to-height ratio in acarbose or metformin treated patients. |
