Treating type 2 diabetes mellitus with G.R.A.C.E.

22 Aug 2024

A challenging aspect of glycaemic control presents in patients diagnosed with early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Considering this challenge, how can effective management of glycaemic control be achieved in patients with uncontrolled T2DM who are hesitant to incorporate multiple oral antidiabetic drugs into their current regimen? In this case study, Dr Matthew Tan shared his clinical experience in managing a young adult patient with T2DM using GLYXAMBI^®, a fixed-dose combination of empagliflozin and linagliptin taken once daily. He demonstrated how applying the G.R.A.C.E. concept to the treatment improved the patient’s clinical outcome.
