- Title
CLINICAL RESEARCH AND EXPERIENCE WITH INCRETIN-BASED THERAPIES.

- Abstract
Despite proven lifestyle recommendations and the availability of a range of oral antidiabetic agents, many patients with type 2 diabetes fail to achieve adequate glycemic control. Patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes may be exposed to considerable complications, including elevated cardiovascular risk. New therapeutic strategies have been under investigation to improve glycemic control and avoid some of the adverse effects associated with available antidiabetic agents, most notably weight gain, while improving cardiovascular health. This review will discuss incretin mimetics and their potential role in improving diabetes management.
