Evidence-informed recommendations were developed by the Canadian Drug Expert Committee (CDEC) to address the following policy questions:
- What is the optimal second-line therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes experiencing inadequate glycemic control with metformin monotherapy?
- What is the optimal third-line therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes experiencing inadequate glycemic control with metformin and a sulfonylurea?
- If insulin continues to be the recommended third-line therapy for most patients, what alternative(s) are recommended for patients unable to use insulin?
- What is the role, if any, for the combined use of insulins and incretin agents in patients with type 2 diabetes?
