Abstract: Objective To compare the effect of fenofibrate combined with insulin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and its influence on liver function, blood glucose content and vascular endothelial function.Methods The clinical data and follow-up data of 150 patients with type 2 complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were analyzed retrospectively, they were divided into control group (n=70) and observation group (n=80) according to the random number method. The patients in the control group received the guidance of healthy diet and reasonable exercise, and received insulin treatment. The observation group was treated with fenofibrate on the basis of the control group, and both groups were treated for 3 months. The clinical efficacy, liver function, blood glucose content and vascular endothelial function before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The clinical effective rates of the observation group and the control group were 92.50% and 75.71% (P<0.05); compared with those before treatment, ALT, AST, FPG, 2hPG, HbA1c in the two groups were decreased after treatment (P<0.05), and the decline in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, ET and TXB2 in the two groups were decreased (P<0.05), and PGF1 and NO were significantly increased (P<0.05) in the observation group. The improvement degree was significantly greater than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Fenofibrate combined with insulin in the treatment of T2DM patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has significant clinical curative effect, which can improve renal function, reduce blood glucose level and improve vascular endothelial function, which is worthy of further clinical promotion.
