Therapy of Type 2 Diabetes

The practical recommendations of the German Diabetes Society/Deutsche Diabetes Gesellschaft (DDG) together with the German Society for Internal Medicine/Deutschen Gesellschaft für Innere Medizin (DGIM) are based on the contents of the National Treatment Guideline (Nationale Versorgungsleitlinie NVL) “Therapy of Type 2 Diabetes” [1]. The modifications in therapy and their justifications made in the present DDG practical recommendations were updated on the basis of new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses and were consented by the DDG and the DGIM.
