The present invention provides a novel carboxylic acid derivative, a salt thereof or a hydrate of them which is useful as an insulin sensitizer, and a medicament comprising the derivative as the effective ingredient. More specifically, it provides a carboxylic acid compound represented by the formula (I), a salt thereof or a hydrate of them. In the formula, Ar represents a 6- to 14-membered aromatic ring group which may have at least one substituent; R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are the same as or different from each other and each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a C1-6 alkyl group or a C1-6 alkoxy group; X represents an oxygen atom or a methylene group; Y represents a group represented by the formula (II) or (III): (wherein Z represents a group represented by the formula (IV): (wherein R9, R10, R11 and R12 are the same as or different from each other and each represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a C1-6 alkyl group or a C1-6 alkoxy group)); m is 0 or 1; and n is 0 or 1.
