title: [The current aspects of the pharmacological correction of hyperglycemia in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2)].
abstract: Data on the mechanisms of developing of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (type 2) are analyzed and reviewed. The current concept of hypoglycemic therapy aimed both at amelioration of hyperglycemia symptoms and reduction of the risk of diabetic micro- and macroangiopathies is considered. The main directions of pharmacological action of hypoglycemic drugs (both in use and in the stage of design) and data of the efficiency and possible incidental action are presented.
