Author(s): Aryan Mehta*
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder
characterized by insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, leading
to hyperglycemia. Effective glycemic management in adults with T2DM is
essential to prevent complications and improve quality of life. This article

results indicate that individualized treatment approaches, considering
patient preferences, comorbidities, and risk of complications, achieve
better glycemic control and overall health outcomes. Ongoing research and
clinical trials contin.. View More»
