The article presents the analysis of results of one year's follow-up of 1922 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus within the framework of the observational program "Efficacy of Galvus Met in real-life clinical practice of endocrinologist." In general, the 12-month treatment with Galvus Met (vildagliptin + metformin) provided clinically significant improvement in glycemic control with good tolerability. More than 96% of patients expressed satisfaction with the therapy and desire to continue therapy in the future. In addition, treatment had a positive effect on body weight and blood pressure.
