Diabetes : insulin plus metformin for T2DM-are there benefits?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

During the natural history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the effects of insulin resistance are compounded by progressive deterioration of the insulin-secreting pancreatic ß cells. Escalating hyperglycaemia during disease progression may, initially, be stemmed by lifestyle interventions.
