Efficacious and safe management of type 2 diabetes mellitus using DPP-4 inhibitors

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is believed to be the third most frequent direct cause of death after cardiovascular and oncological diseases. Therefore, solutionof DM-related problems is a major challenge facing health authorities in many countries. No doubt, strict control of glycemia is an indispensableco...
