Abstract

In this revision matter are exposed the main diagnostic criteria of carbohydrates metabolism disorders from the prediabetes status. Authors insisted on glycemia self-monitoring measures as a tool contributing to treatment according to objectives and the glycemia average equivalences are showed with glycosylated hemoglobin. A brief updating of different antihyperglycemia drugs groups with some notes on its main action mechanism, indications and adverse effects is included. A highlighted feature is recommendation for a combined treatment with oral drugs and insulin. Finally, we suggested a therapeutical decisions algorithm according to glycemia and glycosylated hemoglobin levels following the expert group recommendations, emphasizing the appropriate use of insulin in persons presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the individual approach.
