Main objective is to compare efficacy of newer oral antihyperglycemic combination therapy over conventional ones in the therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus by finding out the effect of these two varied combinations on glycemic control by monitoring fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), the Lipid Profile and the body mass index (BMI). Major Findings - In the glibenclamide plus metformin combination therapy (n = 23) group FPG & HbA1c decreased during the therapy significantly up to − 49.06 mg/dL & − 0.90 % respectively during the 4 months of study period. In the glimepiride plus metformin combination therapy group (n = 15) FPG & HbA1c decreased during the therapy significantly up to − 55.44 mg/dL & − 1.28 % respectively during the 4 months of study period. It was found that combination therapy with metformin plus glimepiride is more effective than glibenclamide plus metformin in improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus and is a beneficial adjunct to diet/exercise in management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. At the end of the study period in glimepiride combination therapy more patients were observed to have ≤ 8% of HbA1c (60.00 %) as compared to glibenclamide combination therapy (39.13 %). Reduction in BMI and in total and LDL cholesterol level were not too significant.}, keywords = {Diabetes mellitus, Glycosylated hemoglobin, HbA1c }, author = {P. V. Ingle and V. G. Kuchake and A. R.
