Effectiveness & Tolerability of Novel, Initial Triple Combination Therapy vs Conventional Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes

Summary

In this study, the investigators will assess the efficacy and tolerability of a novel, initial triple combination therapy with metformin, saxaglipitin, and dapagliflozin, compared to conventional stepwise add-on therapy in drug-naïve patients with recently onset type 2 diabetes.
