AB  - OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic efficacy and cost-efficacy of different 
      treatment methods for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: 
      Based on the electronic inpatient clinical information systems, clinical 
      materials of T2DM patients were collected and assigned according to the 
      therapeutic method used, to the groups of Western medicinal (WM) treatment (A), 
      WM combined Chinese drug injection treatment (B) and the WM combined Chinese 
      decoction or patent drugs treatment (C). Depending on the data of symptom scores, 
      blood sugar and blood lipids, etc., the efficacy of different treatments were 
      analyzed in terms of improving symptoms, elevating the quality of life (QOL), 
      controlling blood sugar, reducing dosage of insulin used and diminishing economic 
      expense, with the enumeration data analyzed by chi2 test and the measurement data 
      by ANOVA. RESULTS: Treatment C showed a better efficacy than the other two in 
      improving symptoms, elevating QOL, controlling blood sugar, reducing dose of 
      insulin used and lightening the financial burden (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: 
      Selective use of Chinese drugs depending on syndrome differentiation is 
      recommended during combined application of Chinese and Western medicine; and the 
      Chinese medicine injection is not advised as the first scheme for treatment of 
      T2DM.
