Type 2 diabetes is a prevalent and serious medical condition affecting millions of people worldwide.

Type 2 diabetes is often a contributing cause of death and leads to cardiovascular, renal, neuropathic, and retinal disease. The financial and health costs to patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes extend to many comorbid conditions such as hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and diabetic kidney disease. Management of type 2 diabetes must incorporate the treatment of comorbidities in the care of this complicated patient population.
