Abstract

The majority of the patients with type 2 diabetes of short duration did not meet any of the treatment goals as recommended in the current practice guidelines. When the treatment goals were used for the overall population (HbA1c ≤7%), a slightly higher, but still unsatisfactory, proportion of the patients met all the treatment goals. Metformin alone or in combination was the most commonly used drug in the study population.
