Overview

Introduction:
Type 2 diabetes is an enormous medical problem caused by increasing prevalence of the disease and increasing prevalence of severe chronic complications of diabetes. New ADA/EASD guidelines and also Czech diabetes society guidelines enable effective individual approach to the patient. Goal of the therapy is optimal compensation of diabetes and prevention of acute and chronic complications of diabetes and decrease of mortality. Diabetes therapy is started by education in diet a regime combined with metformin. According to the progressive character of the disease it is usually necessary to intensify the therapy by adding antidiabetics from other groups.

Aim:
This study was proposed to analyse the use of therapy algorithm in Czech Republic in patients with insufficient metformin therapy. Secondary objectives were to describe level of compensation of diabetes in time and level of components of the metabolic syndrome in different treatment combinations.

Methodic and results:
In the sample of 1 516 patients, frequency of use of antidiabetic medication after metformin it was gliflozins 33% and gliptins 28% in the first phase of the study and the number increased later during the study. Median of HbA_1c in the beginning of the study was 65 mmol/mol, greatest decrease was found in patents using combination of incretine analogs with metformin – 89 % of them had the HbA_1c level < 60 mmol/mol.

Conclusion:
The study showed also that antidiabetic drugs used after metformin in Czech Republic are very effective in reducing weight, and improving blood pressure and lipid profile. Therapy using combination of metformin with gliflozins, gliptins or incretin analogs is most effective when metformin is not effective enough.

Key words:
diabetes type 2 – gliflozins – gliptins – incretine analogs – metformin therapy failure
