HbA(1C) value tells us about glucoregulation in last 3-4 month and it helps us in estimating the treatment efficiency. In last several years number of type 2 diabetics increased in the world and also in our country. Treatment approach must be aggressive to prevent late diabetic complications in type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetics can be treated with oral medications as monotherapy, or in various combinations as long as the following values can be maintained: HbA(1C) value under 7%, fasting blood glucose under 6.0 mmol/l and postprandial blood glucose under 8.9 mmol/l. Insulin treatment should be introduced when HbA(1C) value gets above 7%.
