Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of insulin glargine and acarbose combined with metformin on long-term glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods 86 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into control group (metformin combined with acarbose) and the research group (metformin combined with insulin glargine) randomly, 43 cases each. Blood glucose levels (FBG, 2 h PBG, HbAlc), oxidative stress (MDA, SOD, GSH-PX), and lipid metabolism indicators(TC, TG, LDL-C), blood glucose compliance rate and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups before treatment, 6 months after treatment, and 12 months after treatment. Results After 6 months and 12 months of treatment, the blood glucose levels of FBG, 2 h PBG and HbAlc in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P <0.05); the levels of SOD and GSH-PX were significantly higher than those in the control group; the level of MDA was significantly lower than that of the control group (P <0.05); and the blood glucose standard-reaching rate and the incidence of adverse reactions were not statistically significant (P >0.05). Conclusion Metformin combined with insulin glargine is effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes with a better long-term prognosis Keywords: metformin; insulin glargine; acarbose; type 2 diabetes; long-term glycemic control
