Safety and efficacy of adding sitagliptin to insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes: The ASSIST-K study

We retrospectively studied more than 1000 patients with type 2 diabetes attending 36 Japanese clinics to investigate the efficacy and safety of adding sitagliptin to various insulin regimens. We found that the treatment with add-on sitagliptin for 6-months was effective, irrespective of the type or dose of concomitant insulin.
