Antidiabetika, insulinresistens og hjerte-kar-sygdom hos patienter med type 2-diabetes

Bianca Hemmingsen, Søren Lund, Allan Vaag

Abstract

This article reviews the current evidence of effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) of anti-diabetic treatment which exert their effect by increasing the insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In overweight T2D patients, it has been demonstrated that metformin reduces the CVD risk. The effect of glitazones on CVD is uncertain. There is insufficient evidence to support a protective effect on CVD of lowering blood-glucose per se. In contrast, lowering blood glucose appears to decrease the risk of microvascular complications.
