Defining the Importance of Daily Glycemic Control and Implications for Type 2 Diabetes Management
Postgraduate Medicine, 10/05/09

Bode BW – Glycemic control efforts should involve quarterly glycated hemoglobin assessments, routine monitoring of daily blood glucose values, and combination therapy that targets both fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia. Dipeptidyl peptidase–4 inhibitors, which enhance endogenous incretin function, are well suited for combination with other agents to promote daily glycemic control without increasing the risk of hypoglycemia or weight gain. Results of recent outcomes studies suggest that a lifetime strategy for diabetes management might involve aggressive efforts to control glycemia daily and early in type 2 diabetes, with less stringent glucose targets and avoidance of hypoglycemia as patients acquire comorbidities, such as advanced cardiovascular disease. Dipeptidyl peptidase–4 inhibitors have the potential to play a vital role in diabetes management at all stages of the disease.
