Type 2 diabetes is an expanding global health problem, affecting almost half a billion individuals worldwide.

Optimal diabetes management aims to control hyperglycemia and avoid hypoglycemia. Pharmacologic therapy associated with the greatest benefit and least risk for harm should be guided by patient-centered factors such as comorbidities and treatment goals.
