| Summary: | Important medico-social and economic implications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) are determined by its continuously growing prevalence, frequencyand severity of complications related to inadequate glycemic control. Large-scale studies (UKPDS, VADT, ACCORD, ADVANCE) havedemonstrated controversial effect of intensive glycemic control (estimated from HbA1c dynamics) on diabetic macrovascular complication. At thesame time, epidemiological, experimental, and observational studies yielded conclusive evidence of postprandial glycemia (PPG) contribution tooverall glycemic control and its role in the development of macrovascular complications. For this reason, PPG control is currently given as much attentionas traditional parameters (HbA1c and fasting glycemia). Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors are a new class of hypoglycemic agentsthat raise levels of incretins, glucagons-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in blood by suppressing DPPIVactivity. The resulting recovery of physiological insulin secretion promotes reduction of fasting and postprandial glycemia and HbA1c level. |
