Objective. Chromium-containing traditional Chinese medicine Tianmai Xiaoke tablet (TMXKT) is approved for treating newly\ndiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China.This review aimed to compile the evidence from randomized clinical trials\n(RCTs) and quantify the effects of TMXKT on newly diagnosed T2DM. Methods. Seven online databases were investigated up\nto March 20, 2017. The meta-analysis included RCTs investigating the treatment of newly diagnosed T2DM, in which TMXKT\ncombined with conventional therapy was compared with placebo or conventional therapy. The risk of bias was evaluated using\nthe Cochrane Collaboration tool. The estimated mean difference (MD) and the standardized mean difference were within 95%\nconfidence intervals (CI) with respect to the interstudy heterogeneity. The outcomes were measured using fasting blood glucose\n(FBG), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and body mass index (BMI) levels. Results.\nTMXKT combined with conventional therapy lowered FBG level (MD = âË?â??0.68, 95% CI âË?â??0.90 to âË?â??0.45,
