Type 2 diabetes therapeutic strategies: why don't we see the «ELEPHANT» in the room?
During the past two decades, the unequivocally recommended treatment method of Type 2 diabetes mellitus was insulin administration and intensification in the earliest possible stage of the diagnosis. This approach is not only unfounded but was never scientifically proven. Yet, it has been zealously...
