Abstract:
The treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is traditionally focused on glycemic control. In recent years, comprehensive treatment approaches including blood sugar control, blood pressure management, and use of antihyperlipidemic agents (e.g. statins) and aspirin play critical roles in improving the outcomes of T2DM. Some newly developed approaches such as stomach reduction surgery also have been applied.
