Diabetes mellitus type 2 is not only a chronic disease, but also refers to a group of constantly progressing pathologies. Regardless of the level of development of medicine and used therapeutic approaches, mortality from cardio-vascular complications of diabetes exceeds the figures of the General population.

Pledge of successful treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes is the adequate choice of target values of glycemia and maintaining it by means of a combination of curative (observance of dietary recommendations, reception of hypoglycemic drugs, etc.) and not drug-induced (by which primarily active self-monitoring of blood glucose) activities.
