  • Title: [Therapeutic strategies in type 2 diabetes].
    Author: Waeber G, Vollenweider P, Ruiz J.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 2001 Dec 20; 90(51-52):2245-54. PubMed ID: 11820166.
    Abstract:
    UKPDS and DCCT studies have demonstrated the critical role of tight glycaemic control to reduce the micro- and macro-vascular damage linked to diabetes. Unfortunately, the insulin requirement of type 2 diabetic patients remains elevated since 5 to 7% of these patients will required, yearly, a change from oral antidiabetic drug to insulin treatment to maintain a good glycaemic control. This manuscript is intended to review the currently available oral antidiabetic drugs, their benefits as well as potential arms and to propose a simplified therapeutic strategy in presence of type 2 diabetes.
