Abstract

Hyperglycemia is substantially involved in the occurrence of complications in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. While lifestyle interventions remain the cornerstones of diabetes treatment, most people with type 2 diabetes will eventually require pharmacotherapy for improved glycemic management. The definition of individual treatment targets regarding optimal therapeutic efficacy and safety as well as organ-protective effects are the most important factors. These national guidelines summarize the most current evidence-based recommendations for the clinical practice.
