DM Info

Basically, doctors will do some laboratory tests, in order to diagnose a patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Then, the healthcare provider will follow the "Treatment Algorithm for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)" (From Management of T2DM CPG 2009)

For newly diagnosed T2DM, they will not be prescribed with insulin therapy yet. However, it is important for the healthcare provider to discuss the role of insulin therapy with your patients even at the time of diagnosis of T2DM. (Refer Table 2.1)
