To examine the safety and efficacy of long-term combination therapy with alogliptin (Nesina) and biguanides in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who responded inadequately to treatment with biguanides in addition to diet therapy and exercise therapy.

This is a special drug use surveillance on long-term use of alogliptin with a 1-year (12-month) observational period, designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of long-term combination therapy with alogliptin and biguanides in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the routine clinical setting.

Participants diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus who responded inadequately to treatment with biguanides in addition to diet therapy and exercise therapy will be enrolled. The planned sample size is 1,000.

The usual adult dosage for oral use is 1 alogliptin tablet (25 mg) once daily.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants who did not adequately respond to the following treatment • Treatment with biguanides in addition to diet therapy and exercise therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participants contraindicated for Nesina

  1. Participants with severe ketosis, diabetic coma or precoma, or type 1 diabetes mellitus [these participants require prompt adjustment of hyperglycemia by fluid infusion and insulin, and hence use of Nesina is not appropriate].
  2. Participants with severe infection, pre- or post-operative patients, or patients with serious traumatic injury [blood glucose control by insulin injection is desirable for these participants, and hence use of Nesina is not appropriate].
  3. Participants with a history of hypersensitivity to any ingredient of Nesina.
