HOME Micro- and macrovascular complications: 31% with metformin vs. 28% with placebo Macrovascular complications: 15% vs. 18%, respectively Microvascular complications: 17% vs. 15% (adjusted p value = 0.43), respectively Trial design: Patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to 850 mg of metformin (n = 196) versus placebo (n = 194) 1-3 times daily. Mean follow-up was 4.3 years. Results (Adjusted p value = 0.33) (Adjusted p value = 0.04) 31 28 % 18 15 Conclusions • Among patients with type 2 diabetes, the addition of metformin to insulin does not reduce combined micro- and macrovascular complications over 4.3 years of follow-up • Metformin may reduce macrovascular complications Micro- and macrovascular complications Macrovascular complications Metformin plus insulin Placebo plus insulin Kooy A, et al.
