24 May 2017 --- Current treatment methods for type 2 diabetes generate differences of opinion within the medical community. Some medical professionals favor a drug combination approach that could improve the quality of life for patients and reduce costs, others are concerned about the risks and side effects of this strategy and support a step-by-step method whereby one drug is used at a time depending on how the patient responds. The question "Is it time for initial combination in type-2 diabetes?" was debated at the European Congress of Endocrinology in Lisbon this week, where Prof Stefano Del Prato and Dr. Dídac Mauricio will discuss the evidence for and against combination therapy for type 2 diabetes.
