ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes is different between Asian and non-Asian populations. Compared with their Caucasian counterparts, Asian patients with type 2 diabetes have the characteristics of lower body mass index, lower insulin secretory response, and a lower degree of insulin resistance. Furthermore, a recent study revealed that the incretin effect is not decreased in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes compared with normal glucose tolerance. The HbA1c lowering efficacy of dipeptidylpeptidase-4 inhibitors, which enhances active incretin hormones, is greater in Asian people than in non-Asian people, which could be ascribed to their lower body mass indexes. Therefore, doctors should take these differing characteristics of type 2 diabetes in Asian patients into account for customized anti-diabetes therapy.
