Abstract

The primary oral medicine in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is metformin, unfortunately, in more than half of the cases after 3 years of metformin monotherapy it turns out to be insufficient. A common step is then to add the sulphonylureas. A better solution, without side effects, including the risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain, possible also in the case of patients with renal and hepatic insufficiency is the linagliptin. The article discusses the most important research proving the benefits of linagliptin treatment.
