• This session is not conceived to provide guidance to treatment

• This session would like to discuss available evidence on:

• The relevance of achieving early and durable glycaemic control

• The therapeutic options for achieving such a goal

• The strategies for initial therapeutic strategy selection and escalation

…While there is some support for initial combination therapy due to the greater initial reduction of A1c than can be provided by metformin alone,

there is little evidence that this approach is superior to sequential addition of medications for maintaining glycemic control, or slowing the

progression of diabetes…Davies MJ et al Diabetologia. 2018;61:2461-2498
