Initiating Insulin Therapy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients Failing on Oral Hypoglycemic Agents
T ype 2 diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by coexisting insulin deficiency and insulin resistance, with the resultant hyperglycemia leading to microand macrovascular complications. A large number of intervention trials demonstrated that improving glycemic control achieves considerable reductions of such complications (1–7). It has been estimated using the homeostasis multiple assessme...

متن کاملThe Management of Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Hypoglycemic Agents
Aims and Scope. Aims of the paper are to suggest the best treatment to improve the glycemic control in patients with Type 2 diabetes using hypoglycemic agents, in particularly, we think that every patient is different from another one in terms of BMI, family history, duration of the disease and so on.

متن کاملGlycemic Variability Correlates Strongly With Postprandialβ-Cell Dysfunction in a Segment of Type 2 Diabetic Patients Using Oral Hypoglycemic Agents
OBJECTIVE Glucose fluctuations trigger activation of oxidative stress, a main mechanism leading to secondary diabetes complications. We evaluated the relationship between glycemic variability and beta-cell dysfunction. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in 59 patients with type 2 diabetes (aged 64.2 +/- 8.6 years, A1C 6.5 +/- 1.0%, and BMI 29.8 +/- 3.8 kg/m(2)[me...
