Abstract

This paper reports the results of the treatment of 71 patients presenting with type 2 diabetes mellitus using liraglutide, a long-acting analog of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) marketed under the brand name Victoza. Practically all the patients experienced either improvement or normalization of the parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in conjunction with a reduction of their body weight and arterial pressure. There were no severe hypoglycemic episodes and other adverse reactions to the therapy. It is recommended that Victoza should be more widely used for the treatment of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
