These patients were given sitagliptin between <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">J</jats:styled-content>anuary 2010 and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">J</jats:styled-content>uly 2011. Another 20 <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">NAFLD</jats:styled-content> patients with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">T2DM</jats:styled-content> treated only with diet and exercise for 48 weeks were selected as the control group. Serum levels of fasting plasma glucose (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">FPG</jats:styled-content>), hemoglobin <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">A1C</jats:styled-content> (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HbA1c</jats:styled-content>), aspartate aminotransferase (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">AST</jats:styled-content>) and alanine aminotransferase (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ALT</jats:styled-content>) were measured before and 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks after the initiation of treatment.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>In the sitagliptin group, average <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HbA1c</jats:styled-content> levels decreased approximately 0.7% at 48 weeks after the initiation of sitagliptin. Next, average <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">FPG</jats:styled-content> levels decreased approximately 15 mg/dL at 48 weeks after the initiation of sitagliptin. The serum levels of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">HbA1c</jats:styled-content> and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">FPG</jats:styled-content> in the sitagliptin group decreased with statistical significance compared to those in the control group (<jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). All the patients could take sitagliptin of 50 mg/day without reduction necessitated by sitagliptin‐related side‐effects. There were no significant changes of average <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">AST</jats:styled-content> and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">ALT</jats:styled-content> levels during follow up of 48 weeks in both sitagliptin and control groups.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>Our results indicate sitagliptin is effective and safe for the treatment of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">T2DM</jats:styled-content> complicated with <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">NAFLD</jats:styled-content>.</jats:p></jats:sec>
