New horizons in combination drug therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus
As a result of introduction of novel classes of hypoglycemic drugs, e.g. dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (gliptins) and glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues, new approaches to the drug therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus emerged. New agents are characterized by high efficacy and safety and may be recommended for single therapy or in combination with oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin in different diabetic populations.
