Brief summary
Evaluation of the glycemic efficacy of cabergoline on diabetic patients
Detailed description
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder that is associated with basal hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance and impaired insulin release. Glycemic control is a fundamental part of the management of type 2 DM and difficult to achieve. Different antidiabetic agents can handle diabetic metabolic abnormalities. The development of antidiabetic agentswith novel mechanisms of action is highly desirable. Cabergoline, a long acting D2 agonist, is expected to play a role in the glycemic control.
