ABSTRACT
The goal of the therapy in type 2 diabetes is defined according to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, which reflects chronic hyper glycemia. In 2009, an acceptable metabolic control was defined as HbA1c <7 percent. But recently, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) released a consensus position onpersonalized HbA1c goals, centered in the patient. Available therapies to treat and control type 2 diabetes are reviewed; traditional therapies as metformin, sulfonylureas, and insulin and new therapies as GLP-1 analogues and DPP-4 inhibitors.
