Hyperglycemia is a medical condition in the form of an increase in blood glucose levels that exceeds normal. Based on the cause, DM can be classified into 4 groups, namely type I DM, type II DM, gestational DM and other types of DM. The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of the decrease in blood glucose levels when type 2 DM patients were hospitalized with Metformin and Glimepirid. This research is an observational study with the type of analytic descriptive study. The sample in the study amounted to 103 patients, the sample was taken using a purposive sampling technique and the instrument used was medical record data of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
