title: [Is there any progress in the blood glucose lowering therapy of type 2 diabetes?].
abstract: Principles of glycemic treatment of type 2 diabetes are well outlined for a long time, however, emphasis of therapeutic strategies and treatment guidelines are continuously changing partially due to the continuous expansion of the available antihyperglycemic drugs. This article overviews the modifications of the drug selection arising from the broadening of the pathogenetic knowledge and recent therapeutic guidelines. It presents the role of the patient-centered approach in the therapeutic choice, highlights occasional contradictions between recent international and national guidelines and financing rules in Hungary. While consideration of the different antidiabetics by the same criteria and the choice of the most appropriate drug characterize international practice, prescription of certain compounds is often restricted by financial rules in Hungary.
