Leukotriene Antagonists : What is their role in the management of ASTHMA? Therapeutics Initiative (University of British Columbia)

Description

Therapeutics Letter 29 considers the management of type 2 diabetes. Conclusions: Exercise and diet are effective in preventing type 2 diabetes. Exercise and weight loss are effective in treating type 2 diabetes, but weight loss is difficult to maintain. Sulfonylureas, metformin, and insulin are equally efficacious in improving glucose control in type 2 diabetes. The effectiveness of intensive insulin treatment in delaying the onset of complications of diabetes has been established for type 1 and to lesser extent for type 2 diabetes.
