1. Algorithm for the metabolic management of type 2 diabetes mellitus; reinforce lifestyle interventions at every visit and check hemoglobin A1c every 3 months until A1c is less than 7% (0.07; 53 mmol/mol Hb) and then at least every 6 months. The interventions should be changed if A1c is greater than or equal to 7% (0.07; 53 mmol/mol Hb). αSulfonylureas other than glybenclamide (glyburide) or chlorpropamide. bInsufficient clinical use to be confident regarding safety.
