This useful guide discusses the impact of insulin resistance, artherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and the metabolic syndrome on the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It also features a chapter on incretin hormone therapy. Incretin hormones are peptides released from the gastrointestinal tract that aid in the overall maintenance of glucose control. There is currently substantial interest in the therapeutic potential of these hormones for the treatment of diabetes.
