Background: Heart disease, particularly coronary heart disease is a major cause of mortality among patients with diabetes mellitus. High level of hs-CRP is considered as a risk factor for heart diseases. Treatment with pioglitazone in patients with or without type II diabetes decreases serum concentrations of hs-CRP. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of pioglitazone and metformin on hs-CRP level. Material and methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed on 40 patients with type 2 diabetes and defined inclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups receiving metformin and pioglitazone. Blood levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, Alanine transaminase, Aspartat aminotransferase, HbA1C and hs-CRP were measured in all subjects before and after 3 month drug therapy. The average change in each group before and after drug therapy were analyzed by paired T-test, the mean change between groups were compared by T-test. Results: In both groups, hs-CRP level was significantly decreased after drug therapy. The mean change of hs-CRP, HbA1C, cholesterol was significantly higher in metformin treated group. Conclusion: Since the average reduction in the level of hs-CRP, cholesterol and HbA1C in diabetic patients treated with metformin is significantly higher than patients treated with pioglitazone treatment with metformin is recommended to reduce risk of heart disease
