Pharmacological Approach of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

- Introduction

A comprehensive, multifaceted, and person-centered approach is recommended for managing type 2 diabetes and its lifelong consequences. Treatment should be tailored to individual glycemic and weight goals, risk of hypoglycemia, and history or risk factors for cardiovascular, kidney, liver, and other diabetes-related complications. Additionally, treatment options must consider medication tolerability, side effects, complexity of the regimen, and the individual's ability to adhere to it given their personal circumstances. Access, cost, and availability of medications are also crucial factors. Prioritizing lifestyle changes and healthy habits alongside pharmaceutical therapy is essential for optimal health outcomes.[i]’[ii]
