Brief Summary

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and abnormalities in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. It is one of the most prevalent metabolic disorders globally. Despite the advancement in anti-diabetic drug therapy, most patients fail to achieve optimal glycemic control. therefore, there is a large unmet need to develop new strategies to improve the therapeutic outcomes in diabetic patients. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid as adjunctive therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
